We Are Not Making This UpThree years after the snarky owl's debut, we convinced him to hand over the reins (just a little bit) and let some other TA employees join in on the blogging fun. We have a lot to share with you about TripAdvisor and the people who work here. As TripAdvisor employees, we’ll share travel trends and news, company culture, frequently asked questions, and amazing member photos and videos. Don’t worry; the snarky owl will still be highlighting his usual outrageous, hilarious stuff. Trust us, we are not making this up!« Older posts
