Has she actually bought a London flat or is this just… something she has said she wants to do? Like “moving to Mexico“ or “becoming a lifestyle influencer instead of travelling”?

She said she just needs to save a bit more but she’s been in contact with an advisor I think

It does sound like she'll make a snap decision come october time if she'll go anywhere, in her words it could either be 1 month or 8 months.

Who wants to bet the Pakistan trip won't happen in August and we'll see more people around on this thread disgruntled??

Maybe she will say that Pakistan “just isn’t challenging” her and she’ll jet off to Afghanistan instead.

A prime location for handstands and selfies.

I’d be very surprised if she thought Pakistan was a good idea at this point, unless she goes there to volunteer with all the refugees from Afghanistan I guess?

interesting she is on a 'cut' which seems more of a common term with body builders/physique competitors and seems to be sharing more fitness content i wonder is she is trying to get into the fitness influencer market as well.

It’s also common with people who want to shred large and then build muscle, it’s not something that people are always aware of but it’s what most “diets” should include

Please do not even imply it's ok to plan hikes on Google Earth!

I daresay it's fine for that walk across London but the second you leave actual roads in a heavily urban area, it's worse than useless, it's dangerously under-detailed and it's a big reason why mountain rescue gets called to places like Ben Nevis, because people don't realise how hard proper navigation is and think the ordinary map app on their phone will be fine.

I've never used the three sites she mentioned, they're probably better and I do know my reliance on paper map and compass is a bit old fashioned and that I'm very biased against digital mapping and I know I bang on about her learning stuff, but while she's suggesting ideas for skills to learn while travelling, I think she could do with a course in reading and using an OS map, even a basic one.

You've got a really good point there, especially with her seemingly doing a Pakistan hiking trip

Surely with the Pakistan trip you'd think it would be planned down to exact routes before even been advertised and up until a few months ago she still believed it was going ahead so routes must of been planned or was someone else doing that for her?

I always thought she was doing it with a travel company? Like putting her name to one of their already planned tours but I didn’t look into it so maybe I’m wrong

So is she off again now for a few months? What happened to buying a property soon? Is her plan long term to continue to travel for extended periods

Did she not say she was going to buy a place and rent it out for months at a time whilst she’s away?
