Ashley King, a young traveler from Calgary, experienced a troubling night in Kuta, Bali, in 2011 when her credit cards were stolen and she felt disoriented after a night out. Following a heavy night, she faced immigration issues upon arriving in New Zealand without a return ticket, exacerbating her feelings of anxiety. Despite her initial confidence from travel experiences, this ordeal led her to confront her vulnerabilities and independence in a foreign country, marking a significant turning point in her journey of self-discovery as she sought assistance and support.
In that moment, I realized how much travel had changed me. I went from feeling empowered to feeling vulnerable and anxious about the future.
The entire ordeal made me question my independence. I had to reevaluate what it meant to be alone in a foreign country.
