An American traveler told about her worst experiences abroad, ranging from a travel scam to a parasitic infection she got by eating cat meat.

Karina Henry, a blogger and teacher, has traveled to more than 30 countries and now lives in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, after spending time in China and Thailand, the Daily Mail reports.

Karina, 34, recently listed her five "scariest travel moments" to talk about the unexpected challenges she faced in other countries.

"In China, I was attacked by a drunken man who said he didn't like me just because I was American," she said of her first unpleasant experience.

The second point is that the blogger "contracted an incurable parasitic infection after eating cat meat in Ghana". At the same time, the woman did not go into details about her health.

"In Egypt, I was lured into a shop by a 'tour guide' and then locked inside until I agreed to pay for a belly dancer's outfit that I 'broke' - only to realize later that it was a scam," she continued.

Karina added that when she was in Greece, the woman threatened to call the police and her sons if she did not pay for another room. "She said that my friend and I could not share a room because she thought we were in a relationship - even after we told her many times that we were just friends," the traveler explained.

Finally, Karina detailed how a man approached her in Peru and "warned" her that she was in a "dangerous part of town" and "could be robbed." However, when he noticed the police, he fled.
