Travel stories

 We asked our readers to send in their travel stories. Here are some of them.

Billy, 35

Four years ago I went to London for a job interview. Trains are expensive in the UK, so I went by bus. The journey was about five hours, I didn't have anything to read so I started talking to a woman in the seat next to me. Her name was Milly. We got married last year and now we have a baby boy!

Monica, 27

I was in the USA on business and I had some free time, so I flew to New York to visit my friend, Chris. I didn't tell her because I wanted to surprise her. I arrived but Chris wasn't at home. The man in the flat next door said she was on holiday! I got a taxi back to the airport but it started to snow and there were no flights, so I slept at the airport. It was awful!

Lee, 20

In the university holiday, my friend and I decided to drive to Budapest for a music concert. We didn't have a map but we didn't think it was important. The journey was fun and arrived late at night. In the morning, we looked around the city, but it didn't look like the photos of Budapest on the internet. After a few hours, we realised we were in Bucarest in Romania, not Budapest in Hungary.
