Being 16 was a benefit - you didn’t know anything so you checked basically everything.
This kind of thing captures older adults who know everything and have never heard of a trainset split.
I made a similar mistake years ago in NY - I assumed that the impressive subway system could get me to the airport, but you transfer onto a bus that gives you a VERY detailed tour of some neighborhoods.
I did not check out everything, I had to be somewhere.
I would have mentioned running away at age 13 with no destination in mind but I never left the country.
