Where the passport’s real, the Wi-Fi’s questionable, and the drama is always in economy class.
This is the wild, unfiltered, and occasionally tragic world of travel gone wrong. This isn’t your average “how to pack light” blog—Chaos & Carry-Ons is for the brave souls who’ve accidentally ordered goat intestines for dinner, lost their luggage in Lima, or cried in a hostel bathroom while Google Translating “Can I have more toilet paper?”
I’m your guide through the glamorous and the gritty—from getting pickpocketed in Paris to nearly marrying a stranger in Venice because I thought he was the tour guide (spoiler: he was not). Every post is a true tale of travel mayhem—mine or submitted by fellow chaotic jetsetters like you.
Because let’s be real: the mess makes the memory.
So buckle up, keep your carry-on close, and prepare for turbulence, both literal and emotional.
Everything’s going as planned. I'm out here trying to look like a travel blogger, soaking in the sights, and soaking in the chill Icelandic air. I’ve heard about this volcano that erupted , and naturally, I’m all in. Who wouldn’t want to see the aftermath of a volcano that’s literally shaped the landscape? You can practically feel the power of the earth beneath you. The steam, the lava rocks, the whole thing just fascinating.
When your Parisian dream becomes a chaotic walletless nightmare.
So there I was, on my solo Eat-Pray-Panic trip through Peru. I had my bucket hat, my camera, and all the delusional confidence of a main character with zero directional skills. I had heard whispers of the catacombs under the San Francisco Church in Lima—bones, tunnels, spooky vibes? Say less.
Apparently, I didn’t learn my lesson the first time.
This is the ultimate kickoff to Chaos & Carry-Ons! The drama, the danger, the alleyway charades, the plot twist engagement?? ICONIC. Let me work my magic and give you the story in full blog style—funny, dramatic, and full-on storytelling vibes:
