From its viral roots as a restaurant serving discomfort with a side of fries, Karen’s Diner now extends its contemptuous customer service into the hotel industry.

Partnering with The Hadley Hotel in North London, this venture thrusts the Karen experience beyond dining, promising a nightmarish stay that even the bravest souls might reconsider. One man was brave enough to vlog the entire thing. And safe to say, it was an indescribable experience!

Former World’s Strongest Man, Eddie Hall, undertook an unsuspecting challenge at Karen’s Hotel, accompanied by his son, Max. The duo’s vlog documented a night teeming with outrageous encounters and bizarre situations, showcasing the unparalleled level of unpleasantness awaiting guests. In a brief 24-hour stint, Eddie and Max encountered unmade beds, blunt staff, and peculiar experiences that defied all expectations of traditional hospitality.

From room surprises involving unconventional pillow fillings to a seemingly staged mishap with brownies made of dish sponges, their stay was a cascade of discomfort and oddities.

From being forced to sing karaoke to disturbing music at 2:30, everything about Karen’s Hotel lives up to its name and reputation. From Hall’s experience, one thing is for sure – this is no place for the faint of heart.

Despite the humorous recounting of their stay, Eddie summarized the experience as a blend of an adequate hotel and food coupled with excruciatingly abysmal service, leaving no doubt about the hotel’s commitment to providing the worst guest experience imaginable.

For those seeking a travel experience beyond the ordinary, an exceptional opportunity awaits near Kiruna, Sweden’s northernmost gem. The small village of Kilpisjärvi is the starting point for a unique journey to Treriksröset, the convergence point of Sweden, Finland, and Norway.

So, if you manage to visit that tri-point, you visit three European countries in three seconds! Here’s where to go.

At Treriksröset, a significant piece of history stands tall. Originating in 1897, this marker was jointly placed by Russians and Norwegians to delineate the border during a time when the Finnish section was under Russian rule. In 1926, it saw a replacement, and today, it serves as a symbolic intersection of three European nations.

The small wooden walkway leading to the cairn offers a brief but thrilling stroll where you can boast of standing in multiple countries at once.

The journey to Treriksröset isn’t a leisurely walk in the park. Adventurers can choose an 11-kilometer hike, immersing themselves in the natural beauty of Malla, Finland’s oldest national park. highly recommended for nature lovers.

For those favoring a more relaxed pace, the M/S Malla, a 45-minute tourist boat available from midsummer to September’s end, presents a scenic alternative. From Koltaluokta, a manageable 3-kilometer hike is a nice option.

While Treriksröset holds its unique charm, it’s not the only “tri-point” in the world. The United Nations registry showcases approximately 176 tri-points worldwide, each with its own story.

Whether it’s the intersection of Germany, France, and Switzerland or the intriguing ‘quadripoint’ where Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe meet, these spots are perfect for a geography lover’s bucket list. The question is, can you tick them all off?!
