Can we knock this living difference on the head once and for all? She took multiple holidays over 4 and a half years before deciding to settle in London. While away all she ever did was drink and train. She cannot claim to have experienced the culture in any of the countries she travelled to.
When I started following her I honestly thought she had moved lock, stock and barrel to Bali years ago. Basically what she did was take holidays for about 2 to 4 months at a time. The longest she was away was about 7 months when Bali reopened after Covid and that was when she had a breakdown - probably because she was away for also long.
Also her carbon footprint
I appreciate this is very long but the bits in bold should give you the gist!
2017
In 2017 she did her bikini comp and took a fair few holidays. Life was good. Approx. 124 days out of Ireland – 43 of those were in Portugal so she “travelled” for approx. 71 days in 2017. 46 days in Thailand training with Titan Fitness Thailand. Hardly ground breaking but not a bad life.

Had she stayed in Ireland with the likes of Leanne she could have her own gym by now and be a respected coach in Ireland. Instead, she followed stupid people like Sinead and James Smith and forgot how to do basic things like meal prep and sweep the floor. Now she is back in Ireland trying to rebuild her reputation. She is not getting invited to coaching events and instead is leveraging her following for the influencer market - two very different careers.
