I am so shit at this sort of stuff

This week on Tales of a Travel Agent, we prove once again that we’re absolutely elite at travel… and absolutely useless at everything else.From polyphonic ringtones and Woolworths pick ‘n’ mix nostalgia to £70 cinema trips and the death of February sales, we’re asking the big questions… is January actually 5,000 days long? And why did February just quietly pack up and leave?We dive into the industry chatter about “February being the new January” (spoiler: it wasn’t), the pressure of peak season, and why stable business beats chaotic spikes every time.Then it’s event season chaos… Sticker name badges that attack your hair. Standing buffet disasters. The stinky man saga. Competitive quiz drama that nearly ended in victory (until someone interfered 😤).There’s talk of insane Australia prizes, two dreamy nights at Anantara Mina Al Arab Ras Al Khaimah Resort, and why Ras Al Khaimah might just be the UAE’s best-kept secret… complete with the world’s longest zipline.We also debate solo fam trips, the heartbreak of missing Jamaica Carnival, and whether we’re emotionally stable enough to attend Carnival without a guided tourist board babysitter.Oh… and apparently the post office in Antarctica is hiring. No showers. No proper toilets. Six months of penguin neighbours. Apply now.As always, it’s industry insight, unfiltered opinions, and the kind of chaos only travel agents truly understand.
