Backpacking Bananas

New to Tattle Life? Click "Order Thread by Most Liked Posts" button below to get an idea of what the site is about:
I think it was social media/ general admin role, plus she has one of her friends as manager for solo brand now I think?

Oh yes the Egypt vlog! Where's Poppy started like this a few years back, skipping places and putting content out not in chronological order. I'm guessing with Egypt and Thailand - those two heavily featured her exs?
Maybe even Pakistan features an ex? Didn’t she post about going camping with a guy she met in Pakistan and I think they were together? But now shes gone to South America she has never mentioned him again??

i think it was a minimum wage paid virtual assistant.. also i got curious and checked out her socialblade stats. no idea how reliable is it, but no idea how she thinks she's going to buy a central london flat on this money...
Erm, mummy and daddy money

She'd do quite well with an account on a certain site... just sayin'. But yeah, seems to come from some level of money and has a jaded view of how the real world works. But, she's nice to watch.

I'm watching her latest video, she seems weirdly unhappy but trying to downplay it, did anyone else think this? it doesn't seem like she enjoys backpacking anymore and I'm npt surprised, it must be pretty isolating never being in the same place or with the same people. Most other channels that do this long term do it with a friend/partner

I think she didn’t enjoy Peru as much as she thought she would, she seemed much happier on Instagram once she went on the boozy 5 day trip to the san blas islands

I’ve always watched her begrudgingly but have gone off her completely.

She just doesn’t seem very bright or interesting as a person. If someone was born and bred in South Wales and spent all day doing nothing but climbing the Brecon Beacons mountains in the colder months and doing handstands on Barry Island beach in the summer (without a career or serious qualifications), we’d all think they were a bit sad. The only difference with Christianne is that she does these things abroad.

She’s been on YouTube for all these years and there’s no evidence of personal growth whatsoever. It’s common for people to flop their A Levels and bum around for a bit but she’s been doing it for almost a decade.

It reminds me of the Disney adults I watch. Flying abroad and doing the same things again and again to escape their problems.

yeh she never seems interested in the cultural aspects of the places she goes which is kind of sad, I get that on a gap year or on once yearly holiday you just want to party and go to the beach etc but if this is your full time life it is very boring
And her filming/editing style hasn't evolved or got more interesting either, it seems like someone who has just picked up a camera for the first time

Christianne seems to have low self esteem and gets high on compliments from men who only go after her because of her body. Her becoming friends with Joel and Lia is evidence of the low self-esteem because those two have it in spades but they overdo it on the nastiness and bitchiness which Christianne is all about the handstands and rambling in her vlogs. I think she had a low key crush on Joel at one point.

What are her interests? Does anyone know?

Most 29-year-olds would have specific things they enjoy reading about or visiting or doing that broadens their horizons (anything from true crime cases to neo-gothic architecture to vegetarian cooking to collecting stamps to knitting to the theatre to horror films to politics to impressionist art). Or is it just exercising and partying in different counties? Maybe ‘learning Spanish’ counts but that seems more a means to an end.

I hope I don’t come across like I’m sticking the knife in but I must have watched hours upon hours upon hours of her content over the years and I can’t remember anything being mentioned. Even if she was relatively guarded about her personal life (which she isn’t - she vlogs when home and we’ve met many boyfriends on the channel) you’d think that one mention of a passion or hobby would have slipped out at some point.

It feels like watching a 2D travel vlogger who was made in a lab. All peace signs and privilege with no passion or personality.

Scuba diving? As she’s done a lot of qualifications for that? She seems to do it fairly regularly as well

Check her very first videos from the early 2010's. They're still the exact same style and editing format as today.

The thing is she could have a good view count if her editing and style weren't so dated. New-style travel bloggers like Drew Binsky have it right - a good balance of clickbait and interesting content.

We don't learn anything about the country where she's visiting, except for where the best pool is and where to buy the best chocolate cake (I'm looking at you, the one Peru video I watched). And it's just, like, not entertaining? If you're gonna be a travel vlogger, you need to at least provide some facts because you're only doing half the job otherwise..

Travelling across interesting landscapes like the ones she's been to - I would imagine - would make one reflect on the world and your place in it, especially like going to the Amazon rainforest - the lungs of the world - which are on fire. But no, the only reflection we see on her Instagram is us telling her audience the most pivotal lesson she learnt on her trip was that she prefers staying in hostels. Riveting, just riveting.

She literally has nothing between the ears, and it shows.

Exactly, her content is literally just someone on a gap year party hostel content
