Like any millennial, I’m fairly attached to my phone. So I naturally noticed pretty quickly that it had gone missing. After searching all over the hotel, I decided to try the Find my iPhone app only to discover it was in Bethlehem, about 30-45 minutes away. At first I thought it must be a mistake. I wrote a message through the app in several languages and then pressed for the sound to go off over 25 times. After a little while, I was notified that the phone had been found and would be returned to me. When we met up with the culprit and her tour guide, she told me (in Portuguese) that I shouldn’t be putting my phone in other peoples bags and then walked off. Because millennials are clearly known best for stashing their phones in strangers’ bags, especially while traveling in a foreign country.
Pro-tip: The Find my iPhone app is incredibly useful if you ever find yourself without your lifeline.
