Was she with the boyfriend? Doesn't bode well if so does it?
Yeah she was, she said he held her hand from the driver’s seat 🙄 But you’re right, does not bode well.

Although I noticed in the last vlog he got upgraded from boyfriend to partner

Imagine basically having almost a once in a life time trip and crying because the internet doesn’t work….

So in her latest she is wearing a very short floaty skirt which when she bends over in she is doing her usual attempt at attracting another mate so much so i see she's had to blur out her a crack !!

So I’ve caught up now and it seems like there’s a bit of drink driving going on? Every vlog they seem to drive to a winery and then are both seen tasting?

Also, not sure if the boyfriend is just shy or doesn’t seem that into her?

I wondered that in the first (second?) video of the road trip where they have some cider and when she's back in the car, she's talking about feeling tipsy. I'm not sure whether we actually see the boyfriend drinking the cider (because I've only got half an eye on it in the background while I'm working) but it's definitely implied that they're both drinking it.

Yeah he doesn't seem that fussed or happy to be with her or around her

She is really struggling to sell her ski trip - 8 of her last 12 or so grid posts are her trying to sell places.

I sort of laughed at this but once someone points it out, you really start to notice just how much she's pushing this. 12 Instagram posts since the end of September, a plug at the end of every video in the Australia road trip series, stories every few days. Her website says "only" 9 places left on the first trip and nothing about places left on the second, so presumably quite a few. She says nothing about how many places there are available but apparently there were 22 "guests" last year.

As for why no one's booking, I just priced up the stuff that's not included - flights, equipment and 3 days of lessons for a beginner like me and on top of £1,790 for the trip, I'd need at least £200 for a flight with just cabin baggage, which probably isn't enough for a week's skiing, ~£100 for ski rental or ~£150 for snowboard and ~£200 for lessons. And that's not including lunch on the mountain or apres-ski drinks. For £2,300 - £3,000 total, I can see why no one's booking.

It’s telling enough that the 22 from last year don’t want to go back

I saw that she’s added a ‘Black Friday’ sale discount too which shows how much she’s struggling.

Not sure why she’s acting poor saying she needs to house sit to prioritise saving, as if she hasn’t got a flat in London she’s renting out to make money

I’d be surprised if her flat rent is making her much money as she still has a mortgage on the I believe and presumably is paying an agency to take care of it for her. We rented our house when backpacking a couple of years ago and we’d put all our furniture in storage so all those costs meant we were actually down about £50 pm 😂

Having said that her banging on about saving money is making me laugh so much - stop eating out and buying coffee every day and get an actual job!

And she had to fork out for insurance before hand etc so I think she actually was out of pocket. She seemed to have an idea in Perth of what she wanted to do and her sister as a back up for company. I think she’s made a mistake chasing this boyfriend across the country as Sydney is over saturated with people and then them applying for jobs as loads do the tourists stay there too

I agree with the chasing the boyfriend bit- it all seems a bit odd. She mentioned they were moving to Sydney because his job was changing then the other day she mentioned that he had a job interview - I can’t help but wonder if he’s actually trying to shake her off a bit. She does seem to be someone who just latches onto other people’s ideas and then takes over.

Also with the house sitting I wonder if she actually got permission to film in these people’s houses and to use their pets in her vlogs? I used that website to find a pet sitter earlier this year and I definitely wouldn’t have wanted our sitter vlogging in our bedroom.

Yeh neither, irs such a security risk to film inside a house like this.

I agree about the bf, it doesn't particularly seem it's going that well (she seems to allude to arguments/meltdowns she has quite a lot) which, considering its the start of the relationship doesn't bode well.

Moving to Sydney without a job seems insane, I know lots of people from Sydney who are now relocating to different cities because of how crazy the cost of living/housing crisis is there
