So they're already leaving Vietnam? They're doing exactly what we said they'd do. Spent too long laying on a beach in Thailand so they're now gonna rush around the rest of the countries they want to visit so that she can say she's been there.

Reckon they'll be home by this time next month

Tbf, I think there is travel restrictions in Vietnam and you can only visit for like 15 days or something?
 
She wanted to do Cambodia and Laos on this trip still and in one of her initial travel videos she said they won't be going to Australia until later in the year. Not that it makes a difference as all the vlogs are just her complaining and going to the beach

Just watching her travel Q&A video and she said she would spend over £1600 in 2 months at home?? She's living at home not paying rent and pretty sure her mum does the foodshops, is it even possible to spend £800??

Her car? The insurance for it? Her phone and probably some other random tit

Why are they flying everywhere 😩 First it was Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh (where the night train is easy) and now flying to Cambodia rather than just getting the 5 hour £5 bus to Phnom Penh! I’ve never known a backpacker to fly when travelling in these countries/between them!
Although, this is the girl who paid for a taxi in Cebu rather than getting the £2 bus!

I agree with all comments here, she wants to say she’s been to these countries rather than actually travelling. She wants people to think she’s a backpacker when she wants to be on holiday. Just look at how she’s travelled Vietnam. AFAIA they didn’t stay in any hostels to meet fellow backpackers. I don’t care how people want to travel but it losses me off that she keeps pretending she’s this backpacker than loves travelling when reality she isn’t at all

Don’t know if she get travel sick on buses. But I know I’d struggle with a 5hour bus ride, even a shorter one (have done in the past). I doubt that’s her reason but I’ve seen her comment on feeling sick on boats before, so a possible reason?

Can't expect princess Molly to slum it on a night train or bus, no matter how 'actually nice' they are.

It's also really bad to put out there and promote without talking about the alternatives, her viewers are 100% a lot younger and could be looking into doing similar and she is promoting such an unsustainable approach to travelling and so costly.

I have no issues with her taking a tour (minus calling herself a backpacker lol) but if you're doing a video like that, say what the alternative is. Like, "i got a £xxx flight, but you could take the bus for £5 if this is something you would prefer" and then it is way more accurate and informative!
