Top Five Worst Things About Traveling
There are tons of great things about traveling, getting a vacation, taking a million photos, and hotel service- but only if someone else is paying, that stuff is expensive! But let’s be real, there are at least five reasons why we all hate traveling.
1.Travel security
American airports are notorious for strict policies, and I have to look up the requirements of banned items every single time I fly. And of course, those of us blessed with Afros sometimes get the extra lovely pleasure of white people running their hands all through our hair because it’s a security risk, apparently. All I want for Christmas is a perfect airport outfit, shoes that come off in a flash, something comfy and wrinkle proof, and yet chic enough to pass as Ms. Iglesias.
2.Having to eat other people’s food
We all have our picky food moments. I mean, Mexican and Chinese food are life, but if you pop over to a friend’s house while visiting, you don’t really get an option on what goes on your plate. That’s when you just gotta hope your face doesn’t betray you and give its honest opinion on great aunt Myra’s clam chowder

3. Reliance on public transportation
Whether you come from the country like I do or not, I can’t be the only one who hates having to ride stinky buses that have beds for the flu or call Ubers/Lyfts in the wee hours of the morning after clubbing for hours instead of just driving home.
4. Kids
Some kids, like my nephews and nieces, and occasional a random kid, are pretty darn cute. Others are snot faced monsters who scream like they’re covered in fire ants when all they’ve done is drop their spoon. Screaming kids on the plane.
5. Repacking
Packing for a weekend or a month long trip, clothes just seem to multiply on the way back, no matter how carefully you folded or military rolled them when you first packed. And you had to pack those cute emergency outfit(s) and three pairs of black boots. Add in souvenirs and you’re going to have to sit on your suitcase to get it closed.
But what can you do when you've got the travel bug?
