After what happened last week in England, she'll find it harder to secure a mortgage with a decent interest rate.

i haven't watched her vlogs in a long time, not since she was in Thailand and i kind of miss them lmao even though there's a lot of stuff she's done/said throughout covid that rubs me the wrong way i did enjoy her videos. what made me stop though was her complaining about the prices of t shirts in a really touristy area but the price was only £6 (petty reason to stop but 😤)

also why hasn't she posted anything of her pakistan trip? is it cause of the floods?

I was confused about that, wasn't the trip with the pakistan tourist board? Tourists like her complaining about "expensive" prices and then haggling really annoys me, yes you are paying more of course, but you can afford to

Still the Egypt kitesurfing “documentary” and I think there’s a Thai boxing one due at some point.

is she editing her videos herself still? She has talked about getting animators for the Pakistan vlogs on fiverr (via insta), so maybe she should look at getting an editor too lmao

I do actually want to watch her Pakistan vlogs so I hope she uploads them soon. anyone have any recommendations on travel vloggers?
 
I feel if she's making money from this thailand tour she's organising/selling this is going to be a way for her to diversify her income a bit to get a mortgage later on. Definitely don't think it's going to happen anytime soon though she'll travel far away through winter then be hopping about in europe all summer again probably. As long as med sailors want go work with her she'll keep working with them. And might volunteer again if worldpackers want to work with her maybe even in South America at some point maybe next winter. Also sort of see her organising some tours to South America in the future. And she'll probably do her scuba instructor training at some point too. If she wants to live the life she has right now long term and buy a flat etc she needs to plan beyond the youtube insta influencer brand deals. Not sure how much money she makes from her solo merch stuff, not everyone really wants to dress like her

I might be wrong but I think she does freelance editing?

No idea but she seems be quite slow at editing her own videos and getting them out there. It's hard to imagine her doing it for other people and meeting their deadlines but if she was editing other people's videos etc and prioritising that I could understand 🤷🏻‍♀️

Does she still have the assistant who was practically on minimum wage, i wonder what sort of tasks they do while she is swanning around the world moving from man to man.

I believe that's Taniesha. She's listed as part of the team for the Thailand trip.. ("Taniesha will be your best friend on the trip, and will always be there to lend a helping hand & ensure you're comfortable and having the best time possible"

According to the newsletter, she's put an offer on a flat and now in S.America in Bogata - travelling to Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador for the rest of 2022. Also Solo has closed down because the company she used for logistics has gone into liquidation.

I’d love to just be able to watch a movie (or similar), decide I want to go there and then be able to do it a few weeks later. Just need a lottery win

definitely pricey but i think it's normal. like she or whoever behind the scenes is actually running it lol, has to book the boat and the crew, diving equipment, most likely a tour guide/ translator etc (plus profit ofc).

Intrepid have a 4 day Island hopping tour for £500-£600 and that won't include scuba diving.

Damn the Western five-bedroom house in Surrey privilege really really really reeks right now. Is she out of her mind? Does she not see the hyprocrisy in complaining that protestors are blocking her from being a tourist. The very protestors that are protesting because they are not being fairly paid tourism money! Has she not learnt anything at all?! And then crying because she can't get the perfect gram on Machu Pichu when workers aren't being fairly paid. Grow up.

Probably be told I’m being nice to her. But not even in terms of her, if that was me I’d also be annoyed. It’s unlucky. But spending that much money to be there on the day of a protest that apparently only happens once every few years would be super annoying imo. I know the protests for a reason but still I think it’s fair for someone to be annoyed that their once in a life time experience was affected (although she says she may go back so 🤷‍♀️)
Also to miss the apparent best view point by random choice would also be annoying to me, not even to do with an insta pic as I probably wouldn’t take a picture of myself there. I think it should be when you but a ticket you should be able to pick your route and there be limited amount of each.

I mean realistically this isn't even a once in a lifetime trip for her is it? I get being annoyed, but surely you should have some sympathy for the workers that are enabling this kind of experience for you?
