Zanna van Dijk #28 Obsessed with the mythology of her own life

[martaS]

Once I got past the fact of how strange it was that the team felt the need to do something for her, all I could think is there's no way on earth she would have eaten a slice of that cake.

Same

Poor MLT.. sitting at home all by himself on their anniversary, crying in the bathtub whilst his wife is on holiday.. could things get any worse for the tiny banker?

Then he sees that huge chocolate cake and realises all they have in the kitchen is Huel and Deliciously Ella bars

And leftover granola?

Technically, it's their 5th anniversary, bacause she spent the other four years abroad, without Ant.

It’s not normal to be crying this amount. I’ve also been to amazing spectacular scenery, climbed mountains, watched the sunrise etc… never once have I cried let alone bawled my eyes out. She’s seriously unhinged

She does it as she thinks it proves that she loves nature more than anyone else.
Like she gives a toss, her carbon footprint proves it.

I’ve certainly cried in spaces that have moved me emotionally (I mean, maybe I am also a teeny weeny bit… unhinged). But it’s very rarely on the accomplishment of something, like climbing a mountain, it’s more about the quiet spaces for reflection. I had a couple tears last week when coming across a clearing in the woods in a part of the Peak District. For me it’s something about the beauty of being in a certain space at a certain time and being there for myself.

She talks a lot about sobbing on top of mountains, about how much it means for her to be there, but… does it really mean that much for her to be there? I can imagine for her it’s more about the accomplishment of pushing your body to the limit and achieving something. I don’t think she sobs whilst she rambles round Surrey!

I've cried twice whilst travelling. Once seeing humpback whales and the other seeing Monet's Water Lillies at Musée de l’Orangerie. Don't think ever cried climbing a mountain, maybe a tear of relief that I can have a sit down

 

[Hc68759]

She probably cries all the time because she barely eats so her emotions will be all over the place

 

[Nitfey]

She is crying because of how awesome she is being in the mountains, surpassing the burden of menty b and being tall. She is crying how lucky and privileged the mountains are to see such tall married woman

 

[martaS]

The burden of being tall

 

[Freyjalace]

surpassing the burden of being tall

That sounds like a thread title to me.

Or she just lies about crying because she thinks it makes her seem more relatable?

I appreciate this is an iconic trip but I find all these mountain trips just look the same ! She never visits countries and gets into the history, culture etc - I find her travel quite boring !

Completely agree. I would much prefer having a couple of days visiting the local places and culture in-between all the hiking too.

 

[forthelifeofriley]

Don’t forget you burn lots of calories on a ~ spicy ~ hike!!! No time for culture!!

 

[Patrickthewonderdog]

I’ve always thought this too. Her Utah trip in particular looked quite dull. There’s only so many mountain walks you can do before it all looks the same!

 

[daisychain99]

I just can’t get over how thin and ill her face looks

 

[icameheretospy]

The master hiker/trekker that she is, she still has not learned how to do up her pack straps…

And what was all that drama about not being able to post for a while so she can focus on this challenge? Not a day without multiple updates

Twins?
