Something I've noticed from her last couple of vlogs...what is her obsession with living in "the city centre". Melbourne CBD is great but as I've said before, the suburbs are so full of character, she always seems to overlook them. There's so much to see and do out of the city so living in the city doesn't really save you time/money because if you want to actually experience Melbourne you're going to have to travel regardless. It's really not a place where everything is in one place, you can see that in today's video itself with Molly travelling out of the city for jobs.
Like I said, not knocking the city, but apartments there are so expensive and tiny(her apartment whilst nice is so small! the living room area especially). You could live in one of the inner city suburbs for a fraction of the price and with much more room (1/2 stops on the train, 5/6 minutes into the city). All the backpackers I knew lived in places like this, so unfortunately Molly's airbnb in the city isn't exactly doing it for relatability once again.
Really annoying to see her keep describing it as challenging. She doesn't know the meaning of the word! She barely broadened her horizons at all before settling in her airbnb, which btw Molly, is not the same as renting. With renting, you have other costs i.e. utility bills, which Molly undoubtedly won't have. She's lucky to be in a situation where she can just pay over the odds for a place on airbnb which is fully furnished (if she was properly renting most places in Melbourne I found were completely unfurnished so we had to sort all that ourselves too). All she's had to do in terms of getting this place is pick up the keys.
It's not the fact she's in an airbnb so much, it's the way she positions things by comparing it to renting an actual property and talking about how hard it's been for her, and how proud she is of them both. She's so out of touch with reality.
Another thing that annoyed me in the previous video was the shock she had at the fact she couldn't lease a place for 4 months. Molly get a grip on reality please. These people aren't desperate for you as a tenant. Why would they alter their conditions when they can find a tenant who's willing to rent for a longer term. Does she not understand the paperwork, effort, risk etc. that goes into renting out a property? She acts as if minimum 6 months isn't the norm, and how dare they not be flexible to accommodate her plans.
Also annoyed me in this vlog talking about jobs again. The other day she was making out she could walk into a waitressing job having not done it since she was 16 and in today's she'd "been offered a full time job in social media marketing". She turned it down because "it was an extension of what she already does". Well if the opportunity was real (seems suspicious though if you ask me) she's foolish to turn it down. Despite what she makes out Marketing for an actual company is different to making vlogs following her around Beverly. It involves strategy, budgeting, collaboration amongst other things. She's snubbed an opportunity to extend her skills in a "real life" profession by implying it's beneath her again. I'm getting a bit fed up with her implying she can just walk in off the streets do all these jobs blindfolded, an insult to people who work hard in these jobs to make a living.
I hoped these vlogs would show her grasping reality a bit more and growing up a bit, but it's the same old out of touch Molly. Tom on the other hand seems to be giving it his all, so best of luck to him!
