AI GeneratedA traveler experiences a stressful journey through the mountains after losing their bank card and encountering petrol stations that only accept physical cards. After a kind stranger helps them secure enough fuel to reach safety, the traveler finds a scenic camping spot, deals with minor mishaps, and reflects on the importance of human kindness.
Oh I'm crying, I'm so stressed, they were just like so sweet.
Two, because I
had no petrol,
we're driving
through
the mountains.
I was like okay that's fine, place to get petrol.
There was no shop attached so it was card only
and I've lost my bank card so I couldn't stop there.
Now the next one is ages away and I have 44 miles of fuel left.
Place is like 20 miles away.
If the next petrol station doesn't accept cash
or contactless or have a shop attached,
basically I'm just not gonna be able to move the van.
So right now I'm trying to make light of it,
but I'm actually really scared.
Isn't that just life? Laugh through the fear.
That is what I have learnt. Let's just keep driving.
Everything will be fine, okay?
Yeah.
It's
just
card
again.
Why is
nowhere
open?
Card two. Not even
contactless.
Just card.
No one around.
Excellent.
Next one is 21 kilometers away.
I have 35 euros in cash that I'm gonna try to give someone
to like use their card if the worst comes to the worst
because I don't know what to do.
I would have been fine but the petrol stations literally are not taking
anything other than a physical bank card
and there's no one to help or any other way to pay
which is really quite stupid. It's not even played with cash.
Card
only
for
this.
Sorry,
the supermarket is
the only one I think.
The supermarket would be like,
I need help, please help me.
They're gonna have the same freaking card thing again.
I just know it.
I'm
so
stressed
the
****
out.
All right, let's just go to the village.
Honest to God, that just literally
placed my faith in humanity.
I tell you, every time I've been in a pinch lately, it's been either,
like, Dutch or German people, like, couple in their 60s
that have sorted me out every single time without fail.
Oh my gosh, this town's so cute as well. What do we do? I don't know.
Car park nearby. Never again. Why did I do that?
Why did I have to run out of fuel?
Actually, I'm going to spin the blame. I'm going to be...
immature and say it's the gas station's fault
for having absolutely nobody or any other way to pay
other than card. I just don't get why there's just
no one there even in the big supermarkets
it's like if you don't have a physical card
that actually works in the machines because
you can't even use you can't use metal cards
you can't use certain banks so when you
the card it's like is it even gonna get taken
so you literally cannot get fuel
and it's such a big problem
and today absolutely roasted my ass I'm just so
glad I have 35 euros
which means I only have 35 euros of fuel in the van which
is about an eighth of the tank
so much better than nothing
but now i'm like i can't drive that far on that
either because now i have no cash to give anyone
to let me use their card i literally cannot get over
what a nice lady she was holy ---- like she is a blessing on this earth
absolutely made my day i know it's just very kind and trusting of them
you know sometimes you just really need
an interaction like that to just prove
that like
Life is still great, you know, like this planet's still a good place.
I had like 14 miles left or something,
and there is nowhere after this for at least another
same distance that the last petrol station was,
so if I didn't have that money, I wouldn't
have fucked, to be honest.
I just don't want to leave civilization now,
like I'm freaking terrified to feel stuck
in the middle of nowhere again,
even though I am still in the middle of nowhere.
Ooh, that's a point, because I only have
35 euros worth of free miles to serve.
Okay, 141, we're all right.
And I can't stay in this car park,
because I thought maybe this would be a good place to stay,
but there's a market tomorrow, and I really don't want
to wake up with a market surrounded around me again,
because that happened in Italy.
So bad!
Literally I woke up and had to drive like around the tents
and through the little alleys of the market.
Oh my god that was so embarrassing.
So yeah we're not doing that again.
Well I hope you guys are all entertained by my trauma.
None of you have to live it.
I'm here living it and you're just watching through a screen.
Just me being traumatized by life in general.
I just filmed my life, so at least it goes to entertainment
and artistic purposes and maybe as a life lesson to everyone.
Don't be like me. Make sure you have fuel
in your tank before you drive through
hundreds of kilometers of gorgeous ice.
Okay, I've just found a place nearby that we're gonna go to.
I just want to see if there's any space there first.
It's cool, I'm right next to this person though, I feel like an idiot.
The view's better here.
And I don't want to take one of the freezers.
Let's go have a look.
Yes!
Woah, this place is crazy!
Oh no.
Oh no, my shoe's got water.
No! Oh no, there's no path!
It's just a waterfall.
Okay, the waterfall is...
How's the... Oh!
I was like, how is the waterfall starting from there?
But there's this like, giant...
oh my gosh this is so cool. it's like a log flume
but into a load of brambles.
honestly the rust levels
are comparable. okay
but like why is there a camp
this side and a camp this
side and all the camper vans are this side
and i'm not that side. damn it they look like they've got
an easier access to the water too. and i don't think
they're paying either so really i am a sucker today.
Because I'm in the paid full car park.
Or maybe this is the elite car park.
No, it looks so much more elite over there.
What do we do?
Do we move?
Okay, I think we're going to go.
Okay, we're joining the dark side.
I don't know how.
Do I pay?
I don't know.
I don't care.
You're going
to make me
pay the dark
side.
Let's go see if it's worth it.
There's another car park over there.
So I just feel like Goldilocks right now.
I'm like, which porridge is best?
we'll see. okay the bridge kind of sucks
but if we look this way it's perfect.
Perfect.
yes! let's go down here. oh my gosh i found
the perfect space to cook our evening food.
oh yes. right quick we need to go get
my food. i parked in the most
space probably ever
but it's a space nonetheless. wow
this day is such a good day today.
I have so many questions.
I put that in the fridge and it's on the floor. How is the fridge
closed again? Did it specifically open just to ruin my life,
let the yogurt out, and then shut again?
Rose! My inflatable's covered at the bottom.
Oh no, this is really not good,
and that's my food underneath.
That's my food underneath. Are you kidding me?
That was my dessert as well.
Oh, I did it again!
Why?
We don't have the sun time to be able to clean this up right now.
Okay.
I'm stepping in it, what is wrong with me?
Something has glitched in me, I swear.
Okay, we got everything.
No, that wasn't a good idea.
Okay.
The
canister,
so the
food's
not
cooking.
No one around to save me from this situation.
I don't even care.
I don't- we're just gonna eat-
We're just going to eat cold potatoes and not care.
That's what I've decided is happening, okay?
Okay, things happen in three.
We had three.
I don't want any more.
You hear me?
Thank you.
I also stink
of cat ---- down here.
This is probably the best day of my life.
Also, I'm watching all of these birds, and I think they're so sweet.
And I'm like, wow, they're playing.
The thing is I don't know what they're playing.
They're like attacking each other
and I could be deriving great pleasure
from watching them kill each other or commit
crimes to each other and I'm just here with my cold potatoes
and catnip scented island area
looking at my birds as entertainment thinking wow they're so sweet.
Let's go back because
the smell of cats is really ruining
my time. Do you want some?
That is actually a carrot. No.
I'm going to finish this and then I'm going to plan.
I don't even know where we are.
Begins with a C.
However, we have landed in a good place
and we have fuel and it's very nice here.
A good parking space, also company
and my potatoes are now warm.
So I don't really have much to complain about.
Let's go into the town cause I'm bored.
Let's just have a quick look around.
Oh God, I can't see anything.
Van's there.
giant rocks there.
River's here.
The town
is here, let's
have a look.
Okay, let's go for a quick tour, ready?
Three, two,
one, let's go.
Shat myself, thought that was a real person.
It's just metal.
Gotta keep walking.
It always is the solution to everything.
It's very dark here and atmospheric, very cinematic.
Oh, and you can see the tiny church
that's on top of the big rock, which sounds so uneducated,
but I actually don't know what it is or why it exists,
so we're calling it a rock.
just darkness. creepy alleyway. wow
that's so pretty.
cleaning alleyway. scary
window. very creepy door.
i do not like that at all but i do like the writing.
okay no that's just darkness
everywhere. don't like it. we're going back.
many people
haven't
quite heard
this. we're
going back.
I'm going to go to sleep because we're going
to wake up early and do something fun.
And I just would prefer that today is over and done with.
So let's do that.
It's really peaceful here despite so many people.
And I also really like being amongst other people.
I didn't used to be, but now I do.
Especially after today, like,
I just thought I was going to be stranded in the middle of nowhere.
And now that I'm with other people,
I just feel better about existence, you know, so.
Okay, goodnight, see you in the morning.
I'm in bed so early, it's like 9 p.m. right now,
but I'm just over life, so I'm just gonna sit here
with my eyes wide open for like an hour.
So wish me luck, it's gonna be so much fun.
Literally everyone else in here
is easily two, three times my age,
and they're all just out doing their thing,
and I'm like, hmm.
Got my silk pyjamas on. I'm ready to sleep. Yay me. Okay, good night.
Oh my lord, the river's so much
higher than it was last night.
Whoa. Oh,
the place we were sitting in.
That's covered
in water.
Here's water.
Guess where we're
going right now.
It's really fun.
The petrol station. Yes!
All I ever wanted to do was just go to the petrol station.
This is actually so concerning.
Because this is like a big supermarket
and they don't even have anyone in the booths.
They have the things, but there's just no one managing it
And like the blinds are down and they're like,
yeah, we're like automatic 24 hour, 24 hour.
Great, I need to pay now.
And there needs to be more ways than just a physical card.
Because sometimes it doesn't even accept them even
if you have the physical card.
I am so mad about this.
This is so bad.
This is actually such a bad problem.
Why?
All right let's go to the shop.
I don't even want to go in their store now because they
suck. Okay let's go. Need a new bottle.
I don't know which one it's gonna be.
I think it's this one.
I also need one of these.
Okay thanks guys for watching.
I am gonna go to a parking place nearby
and figure out the exact miles I need for every step of the
First trip through the mountains.
Wish me luck, okay. Thanks for watching
