Good afternoon from London🇬🇧

Korean Air don’t have WiFi on their long haul planes. So I got bored, and created this thumbnail for my next YouTube video😂

Flying Scoot is like going to a McDonald’s near all the nightclubs at night. Filthy😩 But serves the purpose

Hello all! First post on Facebook in 2023! Just some small updates:
Due to some external event, my home in Adelaide has become 'uninhabitable', as described by our agent. My housemates, the agent and I are trying hard to rectify the problem. During this time, I am cancelling my trip to Europe which I was supposed to be going tomorrow... (was supposed to go to London to see family, Poland to ski etc.)

Now, staying in Australia at my friend's home and hoping for the best outcome (Lily🐱 & I love the Adelaide home, so I don't want to move!)

With YouTube, I will continue my weekly Thursday uploads, the bonus Monday uploads may not happen every week. Fortunately, I did fly quite a bit earlier this month so I have a huge backlog of footage.

So my point is. Weekly video is still coming, but if you don't see it, it'll be because I'm moving around or having a bad day dealing with agent. Thanks guys!!!

Taking a day off from uploading today. I've got a 2021/22 playlist here in case you've missed any :) Have a great weekend xoxo

In case you've missed it... the day before was Qantas 737 ( https://youtu.be/HyB2DDdMQBg ), yesterday was Malaysia 737 ( https://youtu.be/RRcj8bMHz8k ). Tomorrow will be Finnair A320 ✈️
