This is why she'll never be a successful "travel blogger". She only goes and stays at places paying her and doing active social media campaigns. Those type of places tend to be on the spendier end and it's the accomodation that is draw, not the area.
The best travel accounts are those that spend their own damn money and find hidden gems and give genuine recommendations, and then when they take an ad you know it's within their brand.
Her being unwilling to spend any money means everything is "the best" which means her stamp is trash. Larisa Carlson has spent a few years camping and doing jeep trips so when she recommends something I trust it (also helps she's a professionally trained photographer so her posts are gorgeous, unlike Simone and her standard hand on hip and chin thrust and then shaky room panning style

in fact most of Simone's "holiday" content is for to get ready to leave and then how to unpack from holiday )
Do you also find it strange that she is "so wealthy" they have multiple properties and wears "designer" brands but have never even taken a family holiday of any length on their own dime? I'm not even talking an international trip, they haven't done any NZ trips beyond weekend get always. And her only Ozzie trips have been solo and on your cycles credit card..
