I have a confession. I once drove to the wrong state by accident. Sure, I was driving along the border of one small New England state to get to another, and was lost for exactly one highway exit. But it sure snapped me out of it when I saw those “Welcome to Maine” signs. I can’t imagine being the woman in this story: driving through multiple countries before thinking, Am I lost?

We’ve all been there—following GPS directions and wondering if it’s really taking us the right way. But most of us don’t drive hundreds of miles across multiple international borders before we start asking questions. Sabine Moreau of Belgium? She followed her GPS through six countries without batting an eye. As she crossed into Croatia, it might’ve been a good time to turn around. But Sabine Moreau kept on going.

Sabine began her 37-mile trip to pick up her friend at a train station in Brussels in the usual way: by typing the address into her TomTom GPS and hitting the road. But instead of heading north toward Brussels, her GPS sent her south. “I switched on the GPS and punched in the address. Then I started out. My GPS seemed a bit wonky. It sent me on several diversions and that’s where it must have gone wrong,” Sabine explained to El Mundo.

An obviously malfunctioning GPS might have been a good excuse to turn around or ask a human being for directions. But Sabine Moreau soldiered on.

“I saw tons of different signposts, first in French, later in German, but I kept on driving,” she admitted to El Mundo. As the signs started showing cities like Cologne, Aachen, and Frankfurt, Sabine ignored them. “I didn’t ask myself any questions. I was just distracted, so I kept my foot down,” she told a Belgian news website.

Distracted? I can’t imagine what was so distracting that she didn’t question a quick errand taking hours. Or days! By her fourth international border crossing, into Croatia, Sabine had stopped to refuel twice and even took multiple naps by the side of the road. That’s right, naps! Picture waking up in a strange country and—rather than wondering where you went wrong—climbing back behind the wheel and blindly following the GPS even further.

All the while, back at her home in Belgium, Sabine’s friend stranded at the train station had long since found other transportation to her house. Her son, worried after days without contact, had reported her missing. The police were on the brink of launching a manhunt. This would have been a fantastic time to turn around. But Sabine Moreau pressed on.

By the time she reached the outskirts of the Croatian capital, her trust in her GPS finally started to crack. “When I passed Zagreb, I thought, ‘OK, now I’m lost,’” she admitted to La Nouvelle. At this point, she had crossed five international borders, driven through six countries, and spent nearly two days on the road. Sabine Moreau had traveled 900 miles. Only then did she decide it was time to go back.

Police were shocked at how far she had gone, with one spokesperson telling Daily Mail, “This is an incredible story.” At the end of her wild 900-mile odyssey, Sabine Moreau made it home safe, if not a little embarrassed. But her story is a perfect reminder of how we can lose all sense of direction—literally—when we put too much trust in technology. GPS is great, but it’s no substitute for good old-fashioned common sense.
