'I ended up in the wrong country after making very easy mistake on train' | The Sun
06/28/2023A MAN has claimed he accidentally ended up in the wrong country when travelling by train.
TikTok user Rakan Munjed was travelling Europe when he opted for a train from Venice to Rome.
However, he ended up taking a nap on the train – and woke up in the wrong country.
He said: "Can you explain to me how the f*** I took a nap on my train to Rome and ended up in Switzerland?
"Where do I go?"
His video has been watched more than 6million times, with people just as confused.

He added in the comments that no one woke him up to check his tickets, which is how he ended up in the city of Lugano by accident.
Direct trains from Venice to Lugano take around 4 hours.
Lots of others shared their same fears.
Someone else said: "That's why I don't take naps on trains, I don't want to end up on the other side of Europe."

One woman said it happened to her in the UK, when she got on the train in London and ended up in Belgium.
However, not everyone believed he did it by accident.
Many people pointed out he went in the wrong direction, with Lugano being north of Venice and Rome being south.
Rakan added that the language barrier made it harder for him to understand what was going on.
Thankfully, a later video showed him in Naples, presumably taking another train back into Italy.
