The Guardian is launching a new series titled Two Weeks in August, focusing on holiday disasters. Readers are invited to share their most memorable travel mishaps, from lost luggage and flight cancellations to extreme weather and accommodation nightmares.
What We're Looking For
We want to hear about your worst holiday experiences. Whether it's a trip that went wrong due to unforeseen circumstances or a series of unfortunate events, your story could be featured in our series. We are particularly interested in stories that highlight the unpredictability of travel and the resilience of holidaymakers.
How to Share Your Story
Please email us at holiday.disasters@theguardian.com with a brief description of your holiday disaster. Include details such as the destination, what went wrong, and how you handled the situation. We may follow up for more information if your story is selected.
What We'll Do With Your Stories
Selected stories will be published as part of the Two Weeks in August series. We will edit for clarity and length, and we will contact you before publication. By submitting, you agree to our terms and conditions.
Examples of Holiday Disasters
- Lost luggage that never arrived
- Flight delays or cancellations that ruined plans
