  • Travel with me as I fly from Chicago to Barcelona! I banked a whole bunch of miles to be able to swing flying in business class and share my entire journey from prepping my house to leave to exploring the lounges at the airports and navigating between flights. I have lots more of this adventure to share with you, so stay tuned! ✈️

    Thank you for sharing. My husband and I have never been overseas and we really want to travel there as we come into our retirement years. We aren’t afraid of flying, but the claustrophobic feeling of being stuck for such a long flight isn’t something we look forward to. But sharing your experience and being able to travel by yourself, makes me feel less anxious about it. Maybe I will watch this again during our flight overseas someday to help pass the time. Thanks again! You are such a brave young woman. ❤

    When you showed the bathroom at the first airport you didn’t have any of your stuff with you (your bags or the chocolate) did you leave them in the lounge “pod” unattended? I don’t care how exclusive the lounge is that’s just asking for trouble. Theft happens in all areas. Not to mention you should never leave bags unattended in an airport…they make announcements about that all the time.

      I agree, it is wrong to imply that people need to join your pateron because that is how you keep the lights on as a single mother and than turn it around and talk about your privilege. Most of her subscribers do not watch her videos anymore so it would make sense if they bought her pateron out of empathy without being aware of her wealth.

      I’m not saying being divorced and not having your kids full time is a dream. I’m saying being able to not worry about money in the slightest, take a lot of trips, and be able to buy whatever you want whenever would be a dream even after having a divorce, most single moms would be really struggling. I never said her life is perfect. But her financial status was very privileged (which she openly says) even married. I’m guessing her parents have money also, maybe that’s just how she grew up. She is a lovely person, not saying anything negative to her, just an observation.
