Malaysians unite over 'craziest' travel experiences on Twitter


Puteri Nuraaina's tweet immediately went viral, with many people replying with their wildest travel experiences.

A young woman and her mother backpacked across Australia for two weeks because they were cheated by an unscrupulous travel agency.

Elsewhere, a boy became stranded on an empty street in the wee hours of the morning because he had taken the wrong bus to Kuala Lipis (Pahang), instead of Kuala Lumpur.

Then there's the sulking wife who left her husband behind at home after a heated argument and travelled to northern Malaysia with her toddler child in tow, just to let off steam. She was then stuck in an eight-hour traffic jam along the highway on the drive back home to KL.

The aforementioned scenarios are just some of the zaniest road trip tales that were shared by Malaysians on Twitter recently.

And it all started with a relatively unassuming tweet from Puteri Nuraaina Balqis Mohd Asri, also known by her Twitter handle @ayyputeri.

On July 19, the 26-year-old media executive from Taiping, Perak, posted the following tweet:

Share with me your craziest road trip experience please!
