When I had to travel by train alone and I got off at the wrong station ππ
Hello everyone, today is my day. Today, I'm traveling alone to visit my girlfriend in Bergamo, Italy. This trip involves a train, and I'll be changing trains twice. I've already purchased my ticket online, and the online guide will tell me which station I need to change trains at.
Today, I arrived at Tortona train station quite early because my sister needed to drop me off at the station, and before I could, she had to go to work, so I was about half an hour late. I waited for the train at the station for a while. The station is quite small and not crowded, so it seemed quiet. I'm going to be on platform three this time. Traveling alone, I'm so excited, I'm checking the schedule frequently for fear of missing this trip.
Then, the train arrived. I had to get off at Milano Lambrate station, which is the station before Milano Centrale. Then, I had to change trains again to get to Bergamo within 13 minutes, according to the schedule I checked online. I boarded the train before it was time, trying to check the schedule, but I wasn't sure, even though the schedule indicated that I needed to change trains. Before reaching Milano Lambrate station, I packed my bags. Everything happened so fast. I asked a nearby person if I needed to change trains at Bergamo. I showed her my phone with the app on it, and she said no. I thought, "Okay, I don't need to get off," because I understood the train might change, which was possible. So I decided not to get off at that station.
At that moment, the train went to the main station, Milan Centrale. I told my girlfriend I wasn't getting off at that station. She asked why she didn't get off, so I explained it to her, understanding her. I had to check for a train to Bergamo. Luckily, there was the next one, which was about 30 minutes away, so I arrived late.
I was so excited this time. I took pictures and called my girlfriend to ask if I needed to take this train. Because I was so excited and confident, I got on the train. Luckily, the last station was Bergamo, so I didn't have to worry about getting off again. I sat there with peace of mind, even though I was a little worried about the missed train. It was okay. It was an experience, and I'll try again next time. I'm sure I won't make the same mistake again. I'm determined not to trust anyone. I'll just trust myself.
I didn't arrive at Begamo station safely. My boyfriend came to pick me up. Although a little late, I arrived safely. It was an experience and the good thing is that it's my activity about traveling by train. This is not the first time traveling alone but it's exciting every time. I hope everyone likes my story. Thank you for following. Have a nice day.

Oh! you got loss but at least you are safe and sound. Sometimes travelling alone is risky because if you get loss you are alone and you have no one with you. on the bright side, you would learn more lessons and more self confident when you can arrive into your destination safely.
