Not sure how I feel about the latest stories. The whipping, the random white tourists mmmm

 

[G+T]

Why are we only hearing about all of this now. At the different points in the year she made most of it out to be OK or never addressed it.

Banging on how poor the country is but takes a free trip back to the airport. Complete dose

 

[instaknobs]

The whole lifestyle seems so shallow and kind of sad.
Functional friends who drift in and out of Bali until they grow up.

they never grow up, they just see the new influx of Instahuns moving to bali and then they feel old, mostly because the new wave are younger, thinner, blonder, hotter, more tech savvy, the OG's ( they think they are OGS anyway) move not because they grow up, but because they see they are outdated. when they move back to wherever they crawled from they don't grow up they just move away from Bali.

Even the way they use the word "villa" over there gives me the ick.

 

[smurphette]

Oh she hasn't missed it. I commented about it under one of her posts and was blocked within 2 minutes

Good for you!

 

[starryeyed10]

I don't really follow her either anymore but I doubt she has said anything about those things seeing as there is literally nothing she could say to defend herself .

And I don't think she has much of a background working in journalism... she was a TEFL teacher in Korea, probably straight out of college or soon after. Unless she counts her blog as journalism! Travel journalist I guess?

Also I'm so surprised she went back to Mexico after she ranted about the place so much the whole time she was there before. She seemed to hate the place.

 

[Imcurious]

Everything about this one gives me the absolute ick. She is clocking up countries just to say she has visited them. I’d say she is miserable and thinks that all this travelling is making her life look fulfilling. It doesn’t

Bali is paradise. Until you realize it got secretly colonized. The western elite throws pool parties in designer villas. While locals built them on a 12-hour shift for $200/month. Here are the 6 shady strategies modern colonizers use to get rich off Bali:

Hope this works as its a threads link but details how ppl like Janet are colonisers in Bali

Good read

 

[instaknobs]

Wtf did she even go there? Was half hoping she fell off the bike down that gravel road

 

[gossipie]

Delighted for her. I hope they put a high-rise in the middle of the rice fields

Great bait and switch by the landlord. Not so nice when the shoe is on the other foot

Anyone any idea what age she is?hard to put an age on her!!

 

[starryeyed10]

She was an unbelievable ass with covid. Also she couldn't hack living in Mexico at all cos it wasn't westernized enough for her. She couldn't cope with how things operate differently there. A well seasoned traveller she is not. She was crying into her phone when she had scratch from falling off her bike. She never stopped moaning about everything in Mexico. Like normal things you would expect there . Also she claimed she was "moving to Mexico" but fled back to Bali and spent barely anytime in Mexico. She is a joke .

[HereForTheTea1993]

I don’t follow her page as much anymore, for obvious reasons, but I’m guessing she still hasn’t mentioned the issues in Iran? Or mentioned the concerns about the Qatar World Cup? She may have and I may have missed it but I haven’t noticed it, so apologies if so. God forbid you criticise human right violations and that it affects your extortionate holiday trip company!! For someone who claims her background is in journalism, she’s very quiet…

 

[smurphette]

Is she really in her 40’s?

Article I found would suggest she's 36 now

 

[starryeyed10]

Omg I know the dramatics. And it's clearly a sticker they have put on the window ! What an idiot. She is so out of touch with any of the work in the house she hasn't even a clue. What did she think they done to the window? She hasn't had to do any of the things you would do yourself at home in Ireland cos you wouldn't bother paying someone to do it. And then she goes on and on about how busy and draining it is. Doing what exactly? Napping while people work around you?
