We Asked For Your Travel Disaster Stories – And These Finalists Make For Painful Reading!

aidan

You guys did it again.

Last month, we asked you to share your most tragic flatsharing stories with us to win a month’s rent. The stories, as most of you will know, ranged from the grotesque to the bizarre to the cringe-inducing – and this month is no different.

Last week, we asked you guys to share with us the worst scrape you ever got into while travelling, to be in with the chance to win this epic surf holiday for two, courtesy of surfholidays.com and Aer Lingus. And now, we want our readers to pick a winner!

How to vote?

It’s pretty simple. Since we want this to be about the best story, and not just the best campaign for votes – so the winner will be decided in two ways:

  • Votes received in the form below
  • The number of times each story is shared on Facebook and Twitter

And don’t forget…
