S2E10: Ashley Castellanos – Google Maps Disaster in Bali and Breaking Down in Vietnam

Spread the love

Did you know that Google maps should not be blindly trusted? Our guest today shares a story about her time in Bali and how her 3-hour trip to a beautiful temple in the mountains turned into a nightmare. Google maps had always had her back, but not this time. It sent her down a dirt road that she ended up even higher in the mountains. Ashley, host of the Venture-ette Podcast, traveler, and foodie, has traveled the world and shares about the differences in driving culture that she has experienced in Vietnam, Bali, Mexico, and the United States. When in Vietnam, her motorbike rental stopped dead in the middle of a busy bridge and she had no idea what to do. And Vietnam doesn’t have tow trucks! Traveling to different countries, she has seen all sorts of drivers, like wrong side of the road and sidewalk drivers in Vietnam and how Mexico does not enforce wearing seatbelts. As a driver, Ashley is very cautious, always on alert and aware of her surroundings, and her biggest pet peeve would have to be those annoying tailgaters in the U.S. and those drivers that honk for no reason in South East Asia.
