Only those who get lost can truly understand the struggle—every road leads to Rome！Directionally challenged travelers use way more brain cells than the average person, so how could others possibly understand? If you have a directionally challenged friend—or if you are one—please treat them well, because it’s really not easy.

So, what’s it really like to travel when you’re directionally challenged?

01 | Can’t find your way even with Google Maps?

As a directionally challenged person, even Google Maps can’t save you！Don’t laugh！Many directionally challenged travelers have experienced this—you’re following the directions on Google Maps, but somehow you just can’t reach your destination. And many directionally challenged people don’t even know how to use Google Maps. Even though today’s map apps are super simple, not to mention that sometimes Google Maps’ location isn’t 100% accurate either.

02 | Can’t tell east from west, north from south

Even if you hand a directionally challenged person a compass, they might still not be able to figure out the cardinal directions. Let alone finding their way by the sun without a compass—it’s tough. And even with a paper map, they still won’t know which way to go.

03 | Right there but feels miles away

It’s only a 5-minute walk, but it takes you half an hour！Even better than drivers who take the long way around！

04 | Asking for directions is as useless as not asking

It’s just like in school—when the teacher explains something in class, it seems like you understand everything, but when you try the questions yourself, it feels like you understood nothing. And asking for directions can also be nerve-wracking...

05 | Just stepped out and already can’t find your way back

You’ve only taken two steps away from the hotel and already can’t find your way back. Forgive me for living a life of unbridled freedom！

06 | Every road looks the same

For directionally challenged people, every road really does look pretty much the same！You think you remember the buildings, but the moment you turn around, you can’t find them again. Just like Zoro in One Piece—if you’re a directionally challenged traveler, do you also get lost? But don’t worry, getting lost is also a kind of experience, and you might even see sights that others miss！
