Travel Agency
The Story
Wood-panelled warmth and a wall of pinned Polaroids from happy travellers greeted you at the door. Behind the desk, an agent with a rotary phone and a Rolodex full of hosts could book you a spare room in Provence or a houseboat in Amsterdam. Every trip was planned face to face, sealed with a handshake and a carbon-copy receipt, and the only review system was a guest book with a pen on a string.
