From what you are able to read on my blog, it’s pretty easy to conclude that I am one of those persons who always do everything possible in order to travel as much as possible! In fact, I am almost crazy about it and it feels as if I couldn’t live without it…
Still, apart from all the magnificent experiences that I had in the past and which make me certain that I must travel again and again, the truth is that there are also some bad experiences which make me freeze when I think about them! As you know, cities are getting more and more dangerous and when you also decide to go to Africa or Alaska to see animals really close to them, you are also menaced with their unexpected behavior and I am one of those persons who had a bad experience in the past with that.
It was about four years ago when I took my girlfriend to Alaska so that we could both witness the beauty of pure nature and the beautiful mountains there. We both went to a camp and eventually one day we decided that we should take some risk and spend one night in the mountains with some friends we have met there… The experience was great but while we all were sleeping, the sound made by a bear in the middle of the trees suddenly awakened us with scare! I mean, we were astonished by it and when we all started to wonder what we should do in such a situation, suddenly one member of the group simply said that we should stay calm and hope that the animal wouldn’t come because there was nothing that we could do apart from running! By that time, I really wished that I had a mace bear repellent so that we could use it to make the bear stay away from us… All I had with me was a pepper spray and it wouldn’t obvious work with a bear! I really hope that you don’t find yourself in such a situation…
