Fails: The Art of Messing Up Your Own Trip

In this episode I basically expose myself for being the kind of person who books a “perfect trip,” only to have everything fall apart immediately.

My yoga school ghosted me right after taking my deposit, my airline cancelled my flight 20 hours before departure, I rage-quit India, fell for a suspiciously good last-minute deal, misread the date like an absolute legend, missed my connection, got shipped to Qatar, and arrived 32 hours later questioning my life choices.

And the best part? I thought I learned something from all of this… until I messed up another booking again very recently.
Apparently chaos is my love language.

If you’ve ever made one tiny mistake that snowballed into a full travel disaster, but yeah it is somewhat entertaining.


In this episode:

  • yoga school ghosting after the deposit 😑

  • airline canceling my flight last minute ✈️💥

  • skipping India

  • falling for a last-minute deal 🤡✈️

  • wrong date, wrong timing… classic

  • flight delay → missed connection 🌀

  • surprise Qatar detour 🛫🇶🇦

  • 32 hours of pure chaos

  • “lesson learned” (absolutely not)
