the travel vlogs just don’t feel any different to her regular holiday vlogs, except that she’s in a different location. I think she only travels so that she can say she’s been to so many countries, rather than experience all there is to offer about those places- she doesn’t try anything new ever

also watching her moaning about something all the time isn‘t enjoyable to watch

You're right!! They are exactly the same as her old holiday vlogs. Except this time she's just doing the same thing on every location which is why they're so boring. If we got a proper look at the temples, or her surfing, or even a what I eat in a day (actually eating Thai food etc) it would be good.

But we get bit of a beach, drinks, food, pool, moan about travel, and that's it done 😂😂
 
She’s definitely a flashbacker/holidaymaker rather than a backpacker…

She stays in the flashiest/most expensive hostels or stays in hotels
She often stays in private rooms
There’s no limit on her activities
Eats in high-end/western restaurants (have we ever seen her eat at street markets??)
Doesn’t hold back on drinks (doesn’t seem to be drinking many cheap options)
Almost always takes the most convenient mode of transport even if it’s not the cheapest…

I know some volunteering opportunities have questionable morals but like many backpackers they could of done a bit of volunteering/working in exchange for hostel stay/experiences/food etc.

That would be too hard for them - it's all about staying in upmarket hotels with western menus and ticking off places to visit because they appear in the Google Image search for the place they've visited or the place is 'most famous' for the thing they're doing/seeing.
 
The thing is though I wouldn't even say they were flashpackers. I feel like flashpackers are the people paying for every experience to get the most out of the country. Molly and Tom are barely getting a teaspoon of content out of these countries whereas people like Christianne could film 100 videos in these places and keep it interesting despite travelling on a tighter budget.
 
What do we think this is? I reckon they’ll do a Croatia medsailors gifted trip or something

Why would anyone want to pay to go on holiday with her when she is getting the trip for free and probably profiting heavily from it all as well. I assumed she was doing a competition for her followers to also get free places in the trip but no it looks like she is expecting them all to pay the costly fee. Surely most of her followers wouldn't have that sort of disposable income or even annual leave allowance at such short notice. TU travels can't be that successful if a trip in peak summer is not yet fully booked.
