One of those stories, where she’s balanced on the edge and pointing at the phone screen… she’s a wobble away from being an Instagram Darwin Award…

Yes. She is often extremely moany and she can't seem to cope with the realities of travel to less touristy places sometimes or places that are not in Asia, like Mexico she couldn't handle at all.
She hasn't done any research for this trip, which obviously in place that is less touristy is necessary. Loads of countries aren't set up for tourism or backpackers. I even remember in Myanmar which a good lot of backpackers go to, it was difficult and expensive to rent motorbikes. Yes, the place you are in is not like Bali, what a revelation
. Isn't that the point of travelling to new places or places with less tourists? And all she did was moan when she visited an Indonesian island about how she had been there so many times before , forget which one. So what do you want then?

I agree. This is a total sell out. I wonder how much she is getting paid for this. For someone who is allegedly so up on human rights and supporting the UN she makes a lot of dubious associations

From Carrigaline to Colombia: Meet the woman who has travelled everywhere in-between
Carrigaline native Janet Newenham knew from a young age that she wanted to travel and explore. By the time she was 19, she spent a Summer in France, sailed from Ireland to Poland, worked in a Parisian hostel, and spent a year in Africa. An advocate for solo travel, she had taken most of her...
Conveniently forgets travelling to Mexico and catching Covid, and also her little property empire in Bali

Another problem with press trips is people never say anything negative on press trips so they can remain known as somebody who is "good" to be asked on press trips. They aren't given a contract about what to say but they know they can't say anything "bad" if they wanna be asked again or on others.
Also imagine the basically slave labour needed to clean that mirrored building all day everyday.

I’m guessing long term lease. She’s a turd. Exploiting cheap labour to look at rice fields whilst ordering from gojek

I’m delighted serves her right!! Karma is a bitch! I very much doubt she got anything back either I’d say that’s just saving face at the end of the day their law always favours the locals and she doesn’t even own the land it’s on just a long lease so he can always do what he likes with it.

Is she going to build a new villa? Is this her new business: building villas to let? I really admired her for the unapologetic way she lived her life, focusing on travel & gaining experience instead of following conventional life path of getting a 9-5 job, a relationship, buying a house, etc. Is she just reverting to type now?
