Speaker 1: He did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I've never been to Hamilton Island. I been
Speaker 2: to the Wit Sunday's Early Beach. I've got family that
Speaker 2: lived there, so growing up would go there all the time.
Speaker 2: But I've never been to Hamilton Island, so we flew
Speaker 2: in there. It's one of those things though, like you
Speaker 2: know after a vacation where you need another vacation because
Speaker 2: it's just so go, go go, Like.
Speaker 1: The whole that was full on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you've got the Sunset cruise, White Apron Beach Day,
Speaker 2: You've just got like everything, and it's just so there's
Speaker 2: so much going on, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you don't feel like you really like got
Speaker 1: a chance to really kick back and relax.
Speaker 2: We had one day by the pool where we had
Speaker 2: like drinks in that so much alcohol, you know, like
Speaker 2: my liver needs a break from it.
Speaker 1: That talks about how his living needs a break, and
Speaker 1: two days later he's on the pick.
Speaker 2: I know, I know that it's actually funny you say
Speaker 2: that because I said last week I'm not drinking anymore,
Speaker 2: and then fair enough, the weekend comes up and I'm
Speaker 2: back out with the boys again drinking. So Chen's just like,
Speaker 2: stop it, stop saying that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was something exciting that happened on your trip though,
Speaker 1: on day two, was it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: So Jen's twin sister, NICKI, who's been with her boyfriend
Speaker 2: Murph for maybe six seven years even longer, I'm not sure,
Speaker 2: finally pop the question and asked to marry him. Yes,
Speaker 2: So congratulations to Nick and Nick they are very cute. Well,
Speaker 2: he did it very in a cute way, so he
Speaker 2: wanted to do it on the boat cruise, but he
Speaker 2: didn't know it was like he thought it was just
Speaker 2: gonna be us on there, but it was with other
Speaker 2: tourists as well, so there was too much going on
Speaker 2: on the boat cruise. But that would be brave to
Speaker 2: pull it off in front of the family, to get
Speaker 2: on one knee and everyone's like yeah.
Speaker 1: Also, like have you seen those Proposals gone Wrong videos?
Speaker 1: And they're always on a boat or in the desert,
Speaker 1: and they like go to get on one knee and
Speaker 1: the ring like either goes in the ocean or goes
Speaker 1: in the sand in the desert. Like, I just guys,
Speaker 1: if you're thinking of proposing, don't do it there. Like
Speaker 1: those videos just the anxiety levels through the ruin.
Speaker 2: I should drop that ring as well, would be sucking
Speaker 2: a real shame, like it's a.
Speaker 1: Beautiful ring, but it is a beautiful ring.
Speaker 2: So he ended up doing it in for the sunrise.
Speaker 2: So the plan was But what I thought was he said,
Speaker 2: we're going to go for the gym in the morning.
Speaker 1: You and him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So he said, let me, I'll like set your alarm,
Speaker 2: we'll get off, we'll go for gym early in the morning.
Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, you know what's fair enough.
Speaker 2: Start the day early there, you watch the sunrise there,
Speaker 2: your day starts early, finishes early. So I was like
Speaker 2: all right. So I'm sleeping away and we're hearing a
Speaker 2: knock on the door and I'm like fuck fuck a
Speaker 2: Gy'm like, jen, get that. And then I'm like tell Murph.
Speaker 2: I'm like telling that I slept through my alarm, and
Speaker 2: she's like all right, all right, and then I hear
Speaker 2: her from the door and she's like bullshit, and I'm
Speaker 2: like just telling my sleeps when I'm quickly trying to
Speaker 2: get dress. I'm like, all, I slept through my alarm.
Speaker 2: She's like, you're lying, You're lying, and I'm like, I know,
Speaker 2: I'm lying, I know, but just tell him I slept
Speaker 2: from my fucking alarm, Like what's the big deal. But
Speaker 2: it turns out that Nicky and him or at the
Speaker 2: door and she just wasn't saying anything, just holding her
Speaker 2: ring in front of Gens. So Jen was talking to.
Speaker 1: NICKI so Jen's reacting to the ring, and you thought
Speaker 1: Jen was reacting to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm like, yes, that I'm lying. Just fucking
Speaker 2: tell him that I slept through my alarm.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was hilarious. And then I came out and I
Speaker 2: congratulated him. But another thing that I recommend from my
Speaker 2: trip when I was away was definitely when you go
Speaker 2: to with Sundays to go out to the Great bew
Speaker 2: Reef and do the helicopter tour. So I saw that
Speaker 2: joined myself went over the love shaped reef, the heart shape. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I've done it before, but it was definitely way
Speaker 2: better to do it with a partner that you love.
Speaker 1: So maybe she thought you were good. IM proposed that's
Speaker 1: like a proposal hot spot. Do you know that?
Speaker 2: Look I thought, you know, when I thought about it,
Speaker 2: I was like, I was like, fuck, this would be
Speaker 2: the perfect time to do it. But there's other people
Speaker 2: in our cabin, so you'd have to book the whole helicopter.
Speaker 2: You'd have to reckon word the helicopter pilot up to
Speaker 2: make sure he does like a hover around the thing.
Speaker 2: So you do it. Yeah, but that would be actually
Speaker 2: a great spot, maybe very cute. Maybe that's one to
Speaker 2: keep in the memory bank. But I definitely recommend to
Speaker 2: go there with your partner.
Speaker 1: Love that. I love that recommendation. You know what. It
Speaker 1: wasn't on my list, but after I saw your beautiful,
Speaker 1: like scenic Instagram stories, I was like, put that one
Speaker 1: on the bucket list.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, we've got our bucket list book that we
Speaker 2: do together, so that's the first one we've ticked off.
Speaker 2: So a happy moment there.
Speaker 1: Cute. Well, while you were away, my little girl group
Speaker 1: who I have been friends with them since school. There's
Speaker 1: a total of five of us. Yeah, the girls chat
Speaker 1: the girls. We decided to finally book a trip a
Speaker 1: girl's holiday, So.
Speaker 2: This is your first one.
Speaker 1: It's we've had girls holidays before, but not everyone went.
Speaker 1: So when I was in Thailand with two two of
Speaker 1: the girls, Sarah and Laura, we were drunk in a
Speaker 1: infinity pool in Thailand and we made we actually went
Speaker 1: skinny dipping, oh okay in this pool and tell us
Speaker 1: more about that, And we made a pack so that
Speaker 1: if we hadn't gone on a girl's holiday with all
Speaker 1: five of us, then we would do it when we
Speaker 1: all turn thirty at some point that year. And honestly,
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was going to happen, Like I've
Speaker 1: already been on a lot of holidays this year. I
Speaker 1: thought like I'd tied my boots up for the year,
Speaker 1: like even probably into next year. Like I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not like moving now, I'm settling in and they
Speaker 1: rallied together and we're going to Bali. So I'm going
Speaker 1: on a girls holiday.
Speaker 2: That's exciting. So who's on that trip. There's a couple
Speaker 2: of you that are single as well, so they'll be
Speaker 2: having a bit of fun up there, won't they.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So there's two single friends and there's three of
Speaker 1: us who are in a relationship.
Speaker 2: So you're two singles friends might be looking out for
Speaker 2: the one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they're going to have a bit of
Speaker 1: a hot girl summer when we're away. So we are
Speaker 1: going to talk all things holidays and holiday romances next.
Speaker 2: All right, so let's talk about hot girl summer. Anna.
Speaker 2: Obviously you are a tanning queen. You're the queen of tanning.
Speaker 2: Do you want to give us some tips on how
Speaker 2: you keep that ten? Because I went into Hamilton Island,
Speaker 2: I did not have a tan, I did not have
Speaker 2: a starter base. I was I did notice that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I was wide as a ghost. I was worried to
Speaker 2: get out and sun. Because you know me, I'm very
Speaker 2: son smart.
Speaker 1: I won't mind.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we both are. We won't go in the sun
Speaker 2: unless we have to. What are the tips to keep
Speaker 2: that tanned? Well, to go into a holiday tanned?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, like you know me, I've been tanning for
Speaker 1: a very long time, so I have all the tips
Speaker 1: and tricks. It's so weird. People always ask me to
Speaker 1: make videos on Instagram and it's like I have so
Speaker 1: much to tell that I just like forget. So I
Speaker 1: thought let's give people some tips on this podcast. Okay,
Speaker 1: So my top tips when going on holiday and you
Speaker 1: want to be tanned is to get a gradual tanner.
Speaker 1: Start using it two or three days before you go
Speaker 1: on holiday so that when you actually get there, you're
Speaker 1: not rolling in pale as a ghost, because that's yeah,
Speaker 1: that's like my worst nightmare. And then I think that
Speaker 1: something that people always forget when they're fake tanning is
Speaker 1: to use an amazing moisturizer to keep your body super hydrated.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're obviously out in the sun, it's going
Speaker 2: to try it out.
Speaker 1: Dry out your skin. Yeah, So I use the Jergins moisturizer.
Speaker 1: It's from Chemists Warehouse. I think it's the Sweet Citrus one.
Speaker 1: So it's like got essential oils in it. It smells like.
Speaker 2: Does it's like orange kind of yeah, I reckon I
Speaker 2: smelled that before. Yeah, it smells really good.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So that's a moisturizer I use. I swear by it.
Speaker 1: I literally will put it on my skin, like lather
Speaker 1: my skin in it like two three times a day
Speaker 1: when I'm on holiday. So for all those hot girls
Speaker 1: who are having a hot girl summer, definitely check out
Speaker 1: that moisturizer. It's a goody.
Speaker 2: Or if you're just going on a nice family trip
Speaker 2: to Hamilton Island and you don't want to roll in
Speaker 2: looking like caspar I'm going to definitely try. I wish
Speaker 2: I knew this advice.
Speaker 1: At where you go head over to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to have to pull your next trip
Speaker 2: match my basket.
Speaker 1: That might help you out a little bit. But I
Speaker 1: want to know. Have you ever had a holiday romance?
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, I mean like I've had holiday like
Speaker 2: when I've gone away and I hooked up with people
Speaker 2: and that Actually they were telling everyone in my family
Speaker 2: will me and Jen stayed at this place that when
Speaker 2: I was younger, I was like thirteen fourteen, I stayed
Speaker 2: at and they told this story about house in the
Speaker 2: spa with a bunch of these older girls at like
Speaker 2: sixteen and ended up hooking up with one. And then
Speaker 2: I kept telling that story the whole time I was there.
Speaker 2: My uncles and aunties. Whenever I mentioned the place, they're like, oh,
Speaker 2: you're going back to that spa, are you, Maddie boy?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, so, I've had like those sort of
Speaker 2: stories growing up, but I have had one. Look. So
Speaker 2: I was modeling in Milan for like three months, and
Speaker 2: I went over to visit my uncle and my family
Speaker 2: in London. So I flown I haven't seen my uncle
Speaker 2: maybe for ten years. He's in that time, got a girlfriend.
Speaker 2: She has three kids. One of them was a girl
Speaker 2: around the same age as me. So we hit it
Speaker 2: off where she's taking me into London and she's taking
Speaker 2: me to my casting. She's driving around, we're going to
Speaker 2: the pubs together. We're drinking, chatting, you know, all the
Speaker 2: stuff that you do, and.
Speaker 1: I'm showing you a little bit of extra love and
Speaker 1: ten yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was like, you know, this girl's an't
Speaker 2: really cool, you know, like really like my vibe, my flavor,
Speaker 2: you know, she's she's a cool chick. So then we
Speaker 2: I go back to Australia. You know, we hit it
Speaker 2: off there. I go back to Australia. We're talking every
Speaker 2: now and then, and then she ends up saying, hey,
Speaker 2: I've bought a ticket. I'm coming out to Australia on
Speaker 2: this day. So I'm like, fuck, man, like we're on here,
Speaker 2: like you know, this is this could be something.
Speaker 1: Actually, I just have one question. Had you had sex
Speaker 1: in England or London? We don't know, so you just
Speaker 1: kissed done a little bit more.
Speaker 2: No I'm not I'm not liberally say, but yeah, I
Speaker 2: actually don't remember if we did or not. Now actually
Speaker 2: you say that it was a bit of a kiss. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't remember anyway.
Speaker 1: Sorry, no, you.
Speaker 2: Know, I don't remember if we did. I feel like
Speaker 2: we did. But so she's come back, she's come to Australia.
Speaker 2: I don't get it right, I don't get what actually happened,
Speaker 2: and I still to this day don't get so like
Speaker 2: she came from the airport, was okay, Like were like,
Speaker 2: hugged it out, We're cool. So you picked her up
Speaker 2: from the air from the airport. She was staying at
Speaker 2: my mum's at the time because I was still living
Speaker 2: at home, and it just was like it was a
Speaker 2: different girl. I'd had this full like schedule plan for
Speaker 2: her for the week she was in Australia and it
Speaker 2: wasn't who I met in England at all. She was
Speaker 2: like a completely different girl.
Speaker 1: Oh so I'm so confused, distant.
Speaker 2: Did not give me any attention. Even got to the
Speaker 2: point where I took her out for her birthday while
Speaker 2: she was here. We went to a bar in Melbourne
Speaker 2: with all my friends, my sister's friends because they have
Speaker 2: his birthday around the same time. She ended up hooking
Speaker 2: up with another guy. What Yeah, So like I was
Speaker 2: sort of like, well fuck me, Like this didn't go
Speaker 2: the way I thought, and I just gave her nothing
Speaker 2: for the rest of her a couple of days she
Speaker 2: was in Australia.
Speaker 1: I'm so confused.
Speaker 2: So this isn't a romance story. I should have picked
Speaker 2: that off from the start.
Speaker 1: This is a heartbreak.
Speaker 2: Heartbreaks. Sorry, but this is the close thing I've had
Speaker 2: to like an actual summer loven that's the closest thing
Speaker 2: I've had and heartbroken. Yeah, yeah, I was quite hard.
Speaker 1: So you're like at the club and this chick is
Speaker 1: like kissing your friend and you're like, what the hell?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was actually aquaintance to mate. Yeah, who is sad?
Speaker 2: I know it was a bit so safe to say.
Speaker 2: I never talked to her. I actually got my revenge.
Speaker 2: I'm like this it gets toxic. The next year, I
Speaker 2: went up to London again and she actually she actually
Speaker 2: was different with me again. She invited me to drinks
Speaker 2: with her friends and I was like, you're going to
Speaker 2: kiss my friend? Oh one up?
Speaker 1: Yeah, cooked out with her friends. Yeah, you don't need
Speaker 1: to seek revenge on this.
Speaker 2: Well, her friend put the move on me, and fuck it,
Speaker 2: you know, it was all fair.
Speaker 1: What goes around comes around, baby.
Speaker 2: I'll get you back. I'll get your back tenfold. So
Speaker 2: then we didn't talk for the rest of that trip
Speaker 2: after that, and yeah, I really we still follow each
Speaker 2: other on Instagram. We're still like, we're still message each other.
Speaker 2: I'm going back to the UK with my family. I
Speaker 2: don't know if we'll see her. I see my sister's
Speaker 2: still in touch with cause she was like family. But
Speaker 2: everything was above board. No this records which she was
Speaker 2: my uncle's girlfriend's daughter.
Speaker 1: It's not technically, but we all know each other.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Yeah? Yeah, have you had
Speaker 2: a vacation love?
Speaker 1: I have had a holiday romance?
Speaker 2: You have I have? Did it? Stay on holiday? I'll
Speaker 2: tell you sorry.
Speaker 1: Okay. So I was eighteen. I was with my friend
Speaker 1: Danny and we met these two guys and it just
Speaker 1: so happened. She liked the friend. I like this guy.
Speaker 1: He was from Perth. He was like six foot five blonde,
Speaker 1: which wasn't like normally my type. But I was like,
Speaker 1: you how in them all?
Speaker 2: You've got the height there, so you've got the main one,
Speaker 2: the main one.
Speaker 1: We saw them every single night. Feeling started to grow.
Speaker 1: He was telling me how much he liked me. Things
Speaker 1: were like kind of heating up a bit, like I
Speaker 1: was thinking this guy could be my boyfriend. Like it
Speaker 1: was moving like very like fast. We didn't have sex,
Speaker 1: but we were definitely seeing them every single night, and
Speaker 1: we were there for a week. And on the last day,
Speaker 1: on our last day of the trip, we obviously had
Speaker 1: to say goodbye because he lives in Perth, yep. And
Speaker 1: he was like to me, I'm gonna come to Melbourne.
Speaker 1: I could move to Melbourne for you and I at
Speaker 1: the time because I was like head over heels like
Speaker 1: had caught the holiday romance. Bug was like, Yes, moved
Speaker 1: to Melbourne. I literally cried. We parted ways and I
Speaker 1: was like I remember looking at the plane window and
Speaker 1: I was like playing some like depressing like a Dell song,
Speaker 1: being like my one true love lives in Perth and
Speaker 1: I'll never see him again. Will he stay true to
Speaker 1: his word and come to Melbourne. Anyway, we had went
Speaker 1: in like August to Bali on that trip, and then
Speaker 1: it was November and me and him had been talking
Speaker 1: like the whole time in between, and it was the
Speaker 1: Melbourne Cup Carnival and he called me and was like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of coming to Melbourne for the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh my god, amazing, and he's like,
Speaker 1: we'll finally get to see each other. The only problem
Speaker 1: is that I had started seeing another guy.
Speaker 2: And is that serious with the other guy or were
Speaker 2: you exclusive or were you.
Speaker 1: Just Yeah, it ended up being like my ex boyfriend
Speaker 1: who I was very on and off with for about
Speaker 1: a year.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, but.
Speaker 1: Like obviously I was still talking to this guy at
Speaker 1: on the side and like things were kind of weaning
Speaker 1: off with him, and then he made like the big
Speaker 1: announcement that he was heading over to Melbourne. Anyway, he
Speaker 1: ended up coming over and he asked to see me,
Speaker 1: and I didn't see him.
Speaker 2: How did you not see him? Did you just ghost him?
Speaker 1: Or Well? It was hard because I just started kind
Speaker 1: of like going on dates with my now ex boyfriend,
Speaker 1: but he was about to be like my first serious relationship.
Speaker 2: So you're quite serious.
Speaker 1: I was like a little bit head over heels, but
Speaker 1: I had just been over heels with this other guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was kind of like in this tricky spot where
Speaker 1: I was like, fuck, what do I do? You know?
Speaker 1: So yeah, I didn't see him and he went back
Speaker 1: to Perth and I've never seen him since. And it
Speaker 1: was just this one week of holiday romance and sparks
Speaker 1: and fun and it was all over Red Rover.
Speaker 2: So you broke his harsh That's the hard.
Speaker 1: Thing about a holiday romance. Like everyone talks about this
Speaker 1: hot girl summer and like how it's so fun, but
Speaker 1: they failed to mention the heartbreak that we enjoy because
Speaker 1: of it. Because if you meet someone on holiday, a
Speaker 1: lot of the times you don't live in the same place.
Speaker 1: And like it's kind of cool because you're like, fuck,
Speaker 1: I never would have met this person ever if we
Speaker 1: weren't like both in this location right now, and what
Speaker 1: are the chances that we're both here? And like it
Speaker 1: feels like the universe has you know, made this happen
Speaker 1: and our paths have collided. But a lot of the
Speaker 1: time it isn't really meant to be.
Speaker 2: And it's it's hard, sort a hard pill to swallow
Speaker 2: sometimes because if things are different, they could be the one.
Speaker 2: But is it better the old fashioned expression, better to
Speaker 2: have loved and lost than not love at all?
Speaker 1: I reckon, Like it's such a cool, like experience to
Speaker 1: have a holiday romance, and like, I feel like people
Speaker 1: are definitely more open when they're on holiday to meet someone, and.
Speaker 2: Like you're you know, you've let your walls do.
Speaker 1: You're riled it down. Your inhibitions are a little bit lower.
Speaker 1: You don't have work in the morning, you don't have
Speaker 1: like your schedules clear, so like you can kind of
Speaker 1: do anything. Like if someone's like, let's go on a
Speaker 1: date tomorrow, you can be like, if you like them,
Speaker 1: You're like, fuck it, sure. And if you don't want
Speaker 1: to go on a date, make up a million excuses.
Speaker 2: My mates take the piss out of me because I'm
Speaker 2: on schoolies. I went on a date with a girl?
Speaker 1: Did you I went on a date on schools today?
Speaker 2: They're like, mate, you fly a gold Coast for schoolies?
Speaker 2: Did you take a girl out for dinner?
Speaker 1: And I was like, that's cute though I like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they would give They gave me so much
Speaker 2: about that, But.
Speaker 1: It wasn't because you were just trying to get laid
Speaker 1: by her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess that was obviously at the end of
Speaker 2: the day. I knew okay, so I knew it from Melbourne.
Speaker 2: We chatted on and and then we're both there and
Speaker 2: we said let's get dinner. Yeah, but they're like, I
Speaker 2: think you're the only person that's come on school is
Speaker 2: and taking a girl on a date. But I'm happy
Speaker 2: to know you. He went on as well.
Speaker 1: I reckon the only reason I got taken out on
Speaker 1: a date on school is because I like made out
Speaker 1: with this guy at the club and like he was
Speaker 1: he was from Melbourne. I think he was a toolly actually,
Speaker 1: I think he was a couple of years older. Like,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to have sex with you. I have
Speaker 1: a five date rule. And he's like, well, you want
Speaker 1: to go on a date tomorrow. He's like, let's start
Speaker 1: that process going.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got what was he he was from Melbourne?
Speaker 2: So you could get the other four in?
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. He definitely tried to get all five of
Speaker 1: those dates in on schoolies. Unfortunately didn't work out that
Speaker 1: way for him.
Speaker 2: Well, when you're on holiday, I'm saying that, do you
Speaker 2: prefer hooking up with a local or a tourist?
Speaker 1: A tourist I think, but like I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: it depends like where you are, Like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever hooked up with a local?
Speaker 2: Have you yeah? Have you p were like in uk
Speaker 2: Milan America, Like, oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe I have. Actually, yeah, it's kind of fun
Speaker 1: hooking up with like someone local because then they can
Speaker 1: kind of show you around.
Speaker 2: So have you ever like hooked up with someone and
Speaker 2: then gone back to their house and they're local and
Speaker 2: ended up in a random spot?
Speaker 1: I remember when I was Fuck, how old would I
Speaker 1: have been. I must have been nineteen, and I was
Speaker 1: in Spain and I was by myself, and I was
Speaker 1: on a Kenticky tour because I like didn't know anyone
Speaker 1: and I just left friends. So I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna fill in this time with a Kentiqui tour and
Speaker 1: I just met all these new friends and I ended
Speaker 1: up like making out with this Spanish boy at this
Speaker 1: festival and he was like come back to hours, come
Speaker 1: back to hours, and I was like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna find my like Kentiki friends. But then
Speaker 1: I couldn't find them. They were like just nowhere to
Speaker 1: be found, and I was like fuck, and I was
Speaker 1: so drunk as well, and like I knew I wasn't
Speaker 1: going back with him and his friends. But then I
Speaker 1: was like also, like but I don't know where I am,
Speaker 1: and like my phone had died, and I was just
Speaker 1: like it was a struggle to get home, but finally
Speaker 1: I found my hotel. But that's the only thing that
Speaker 1: I can think that sparks my memory.
Speaker 2: Have you I remember one time going back to New
Speaker 2: York and I woke up and she was like at
Speaker 2: the window, having I think, like a dart or a joint,
Speaker 2: and she was overlooking like the Manhattan like skyline, and
Speaker 2: she was like started telling me about how going on
Speaker 2: this massive rant about like I say, so obsessed with
Speaker 2: politics over there and like Donald Trump and all this
Speaker 2: sort of stuff, and how like you can't make it
Speaker 2: big in this country unless you've got the backing of
Speaker 2: all this sort of stuff. And I was like, well,
Speaker 2: that's my cue to.
Speaker 1: Leave, but I'm going to wrap it.
Speaker 2: Well, that's enough mood. And I was like probably five
Speaker 2: am in New York walking the streets of Manhattan trying
Speaker 2: to get home, like this is probably safer and funner
Speaker 2: than listening to her rant. But on that when you
Speaker 2: leave and you go on these holidays, do you switch
Speaker 2: your hinge or Tinder location to suit where you're at. Yeah?
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I mean It's like the oldest trick in the book,
Speaker 1: isn't it. If you go on holiday, like two days
Speaker 1: before you go, you just like change the location.
Speaker 2: Like I said, I I never really used dating apps,
Speaker 2: so I wouldn't. My mate did when he went when
Speaker 2: we went to America. Yeah, he would, and he was
Speaker 2: like obsessed with it. But I and he'd catch up
Speaker 2: a couple of girls. Off. I've never used dating apps
Speaker 2: like that. I've never really on efforts. I don't listen
Speaker 2: my time.
Speaker 1: I think right after I broke up with Josh, my
Speaker 1: family actually went to Hamilton Island. So it was just
Speaker 1: basically my parents had me and my brother, and so
Speaker 1: me and my brother were single, like very single at
Speaker 1: the time, and we were both like on the dating
Speaker 1: apps in that location. But yeah, we were in Hamilton
Speaker 1: Island and there was like no one on the whole
Speaker 1: of Hamilton Island. And that's the thing is when you
Speaker 1: were giving the recommendation about Hamilton Island, it's so fun,
Speaker 1: I reckon when you're in a relationship, but being single
Speaker 1: on Hamilton Island is actually not the best of times
Speaker 1: because there's a very small pool of.
Speaker 2: People who I was talking Yeah, I was talking to
Speaker 2: the girl at the bar who was serving me, and
Speaker 2: she was saying, because I was like, how do you
Speaker 2: work here? Like, what's because obviously Jen's fallen in love
Speaker 2: wants to move to Hamilton Island. I was like, you know,
Speaker 2: it's a holiday destination, it's not where you live and work.
Speaker 2: But so I was talking to the bar and I're
Speaker 2: trying to figure out and she was saying though that
Speaker 2: they all fly in, they get jobs, and then they're
Speaker 2: all single and they all have like accommodation and what
Speaker 2: happens is they pay X amount a week and they
Speaker 2: just have parties at night and they all end up
Speaker 2: hooking up with each other.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, I actually have a story about this because okay,
Speaker 1: thinking about this Hamilton Island, I swear to god, it
Speaker 1: gets a ten pm and everything is shut.
Speaker 2: That's what.
Speaker 1: Yeah, me is dead like crickets. Me and my brother
Speaker 1: were single on Hamilton Island. We heard like music coming
Speaker 1: from up the hill. We literally followed the music to
Speaker 1: like try and find this party. Couldn't find it anywhere.
Speaker 1: We're like asking one Tree Hill, Yes, I think it
Speaker 1: was close to one Tree Hill. We were asking all
Speaker 1: this stuff, like guys, like we are single, we want
Speaker 1: to be a part of the party, Like this is
Speaker 1: the only thing that looks like it's popping off tonight,
Speaker 1: Like how do we get an invite? And we just
Speaker 1: like could not find it. It was so annoying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they all party and they all like get
Speaker 2: amongst each other and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: It's very ancestual. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well if my family, because they obviously lived in Early Beach,
Speaker 2: they always just say come up and get a job
Speaker 2: on the island and that. And I just has a kid.
Speaker 2: As a twenty year old, I was like, I'm having
Speaker 2: fun here. I've got my mates. But it's one thing
Speaker 2: I've said to Emma. She's obviously in a relationship now,
Speaker 2: but I've seen your younger sister. Yeah, I was like,
Speaker 2: if you're single, go up there and just live there
Speaker 2: and party and have in your life. Yes. So I've
Speaker 2: got a tip for anyone that's younger and single and
Speaker 2: wanting to change their life, go after Hamilton Island work
Speaker 2: and just get in with it all.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I love that. Okay, Well, look let's talk about
Speaker 1: our top tips for finding a holiday romance next.
Speaker 2: Okay, And so why do you think you're more likely
Speaker 2: to fall in love on vacation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a really good question. I think that generally speaking,
Speaker 1: on holiday were so much more relaxed, like we're ready
Speaker 1: to have a good time and we just don't have
Speaker 1: commitments holding us back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think your your mind, your heart is
Speaker 2: way open and you're ready to let someone in because,
Speaker 2: like I said before, you've let your walls down and
Speaker 2: you're just out there. If you're single, nine times out
Speaker 2: of ten when you go on a trip, you're ready,
Speaker 2: you're ready to mingle.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Did you know that seventy percent of single people
Speaker 1: are actually way more open to meeting people whilst traveling,
Speaker 1: more so than when they are in their homes cities.
Speaker 2: I believe that one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So you've got work, you've got other things going on
Speaker 2: while you're and you're not looking for that sort of
Speaker 2: connection while you're in your hometown either.
Speaker 1: It's almost like when people are at home, they are
Speaker 1: way more likely to be focusing on things like their work,
Speaker 1: their friends, their family. But when you're on holiday, all
Speaker 1: of those doors open, and it's kind of a really
Speaker 1: good opportunity to maybe hook up with someone on holiday
Speaker 1: or to meet other single people who are having a
Speaker 1: really good time.
Speaker 2: So what are some tips for our listeners to find
Speaker 2: that holiday romance?
Speaker 1: So I think the first one we would have to
Speaker 1: say is don't be afraid to talk to strangers.
Speaker 2: Now, when we say this, don't take candy from someone's
Speaker 2: van or something like that. Make sure when you pick
Speaker 2: a stranger to talk to they're not some creep because
Speaker 2: I was always taught don't talk to strangers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're always taught as children do not talk to strangers.
Speaker 1: Stranger danger, it's a bad thing. But on holiday, if
Speaker 1: you're with a group of girlfriends or you're with your friends,
Speaker 1: go up and talk to another group of people who
Speaker 1: are there. You know, like there's no harm in getting
Speaker 1: to know new people. Also, like it's fun getting to
Speaker 1: know people from different backgrounds, cultures, nationalities and kind of
Speaker 1: like learning a little bit about them as well.
Speaker 2: You don't know where it might lead, Yeah, okay. Also
Speaker 2: another one is I don't do this, but you recommend it,
Speaker 2: is using dating apps.
Speaker 1: Dating apps are a mass It just kind of highlights
Speaker 1: all of the single people around and maybe like visually
Speaker 1: there is someone who is your type and like, you know,
Speaker 1: you guys can arrange to meet up funny story. Actually,
Speaker 1: when I was in Byron Bay and single, I was
Speaker 1: on like the Barron Bay location on Hinge and I
Speaker 1: actually saw this guy in real life. I was at
Speaker 1: the is it the Bay Hotel in Barron Bay?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is it? Anyway? I was at the pub in Barron
Speaker 1: Bay and I saw the guy who I'd been like
Speaker 1: chatting with on Hinge. And I saw him and I
Speaker 1: had a glass of red wine in my hand. Saw
Speaker 1: him look at me and was just like hell no.
Speaker 1: Turned around. He just like did not look like he
Speaker 1: did in his pictures. He was also like looking like
Speaker 1: six foot instead of six to four. He said he
Speaker 1: was six'. Four he looked like six foot AND i
Speaker 1: was like hell, no turned. AROUND i was wearing a
Speaker 1: white jumpsuit and the whole glass of red wine spilled
Speaker 1: all the way down my. Jumpsuit and he still followed,
Speaker 1: me tapped me on the shoulder And i've got red
Speaker 1: wine all down me and he's, like, hey are you
Speaker 1: anna From? Hinge AND i was like, yes AND i
Speaker 1: was LIKE i just spilt my red. Wine So i'm
Speaker 1: gonna go to the. Toilet but really nice to.
Speaker 2: Me you see, Later well maybe that red wine spill
Speaker 2: was a blessing in, disguise and he got you out
Speaker 2: of out of talking to. Him, YEAH i.
Speaker 1: Think as, Well like another thing to do when you're
Speaker 1: on holiday is do things like walking tours or. ACTIVITIES
Speaker 1: i know a lot of people and my Friend, laura
Speaker 1: she's gone on a couple of little skydiving expeditions when
Speaker 1: she's on holiday and has like met people doing. That
Speaker 1: like he doesn't have to be skydiving, obviously but like you,
Speaker 1: know doing like little activities here and there that where
Speaker 1: you are going to meet other.
Speaker 2: People another one is like on that you say yes to.
Speaker 2: Opportunity so if an opportunity presents, itself just say yes
Speaker 2: to it and go with it and just run and
Speaker 2: see where it. Takes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah be open minded as. Well like as we've always,
Speaker 1: said we can have a. Type you can have a,
Speaker 1: type but if there's someone who's like a little bit
Speaker 1: off that, type be open AND.
Speaker 2: I RECKON a good one is as well is to
Speaker 2: go on a single. Trip so surround yourself with your
Speaker 2: single friends because it's way. Easier then you also have
Speaker 2: a wingman or a wing woman with you that can
Speaker 2: help you get other.
Speaker 1: People, yeah it's funny because like obviously in, dating a
Speaker 1: lot of people find dating very, stressful but when we
Speaker 1: are put into a new, environment people often experience positive
Speaker 1: stress that raises their adrenaline, levels and researchers from McKendree
Speaker 1: university In illinois found that people with higher levels of
Speaker 1: adrenaline are more likely to find people more, Attractive so
Speaker 1: it could be another reason why people are open to
Speaker 1: catching the love. Bug on, hold that's.
Speaker 2: It AND i reckon the last and main point is
Speaker 2: make sure you visit places where there's other single. People
Speaker 2: so that we said, before Maybe Hamilton island isn't the
Speaker 2: best place to find you. Love that's, more once you
Speaker 2: found your love to go. THERE i think there's other.
Speaker 1: PLACES bali go to beach, clubs, like that's a big.
Speaker 2: One heaps of places where you can find. Someone so you,
Speaker 2: know do your research and find out where they are
Speaker 2: and go with your single friends and take what you want.
Speaker 1: Exactly, OKAY i think it's that time of the, Show.
Speaker 1: Matt it's time to hear where our heads are at, all.
Speaker 2: Right, guys it's our favorite time of the. Show you,
Speaker 2: know we love. It it's where we ask you guys
Speaker 2: to ask us where our heads are At so the
Speaker 2: first Question.
Speaker 1: Anna, okay so this question comes From, emma you.
Speaker 2: Reckon it's my, sister my new. Boyfriend she does have
Speaker 2: a new. BOYFRIEND i, know you, know you can just ask, Me.
Speaker 2: Emma you don't have to ride into the. Podcast.
Speaker 1: Okay she has SAID i want to go on vacation
Speaker 1: with my new, boyfriend but he thinks it's too. SOON
Speaker 1: i think it will allow both of us to be
Speaker 1: more natural together as we both live at home at the.
Speaker 1: Moment how DO i convince? Him all?
Speaker 2: Right M, so going on vacation is a massive step
Speaker 2: in a. RELATIONSHIP i feel it definitely separates the contenders
Speaker 2: to the.
Speaker 1: Pretenders it definitely like makes the relationship more solid or
Speaker 1: could break it could break, it, yeah.
Speaker 2: BECAUSE i mean you get to see another side of
Speaker 2: your partner on. Vacation everyone, does you, Know like they
Speaker 2: could to be, stressful it could be. Relaxing AND i
Speaker 2: think it's a massive indication of where the relationship will
Speaker 2: go as.
Speaker 1: Well, YEAH i think as. Well like something that just
Speaker 1: like sparks my mind WHEN i read this as, well
Speaker 1: is maybe he doesn't want to go on holiday because
Speaker 1: of like he doesn't have enough money at the moment
Speaker 1: like that kind of sparked my. Mind he's obviously living
Speaker 1: with his. Parents maybe he doesn't feel like he has
Speaker 1: enough cash money in the bank to do.
Speaker 2: It you're on, holiday so maybe you.
Speaker 1: Could ask him if he wants to go on a little.
Speaker 2: Staycation start off small and build your way. UP i
Speaker 2: remember one of my exers wanted to go on a
Speaker 2: trip Around, europe AND i was, like, gee, WHIZ i
Speaker 2: don't know the same. THING i could afford.
Speaker 1: This afford?
Speaker 2: It, yeah right? Now SO i sort of got an
Speaker 2: anxiety attack in the travel agency and walked.
Speaker 1: Out, yeah maybe have an open conversation with him and
Speaker 1: ask him his reasoning behind that, is and maybe if
Speaker 1: it is something that you can maybe work up to.
Speaker 2: Together, yeah. Okay our next question comes in From. Sharon all,
Speaker 2: right let's see What shaza has to. SAY i want
Speaker 2: to have a carefree summer and kiss all the. Locals,
Speaker 2: however my friends are very judgy and. Conservative how DO
Speaker 2: i organize a holiday which meets my expectations and doesn't
Speaker 2: lower their expectations of?
Speaker 1: Me, well, LOOK i think you maybe need to get
Speaker 1: some new, friends because you don't want to surround yourself
Speaker 1: with people who you, feel don't appreciate you for. You
Speaker 1: if you are single and ready to, mingle you shouldn't
Speaker 1: have people around you who are going to make you
Speaker 1: feel bad about. That, yeah that's my first.
Speaker 2: Thing you said on another previous episode where you went
Speaker 2: on a holiday with our Producer, ambart and you guys
Speaker 2: did one. Holiday one day was, partying one day WAS
Speaker 2: r AND. R maybe just try and make a criteria
Speaker 2: for the both of, you or you and your friends
Speaker 2: that match both what you, expect both. Agendas, yeah both
Speaker 2: agendas of the holiday for. Sure then you can go from.
Speaker 2: There and THEN i, mean once you take me out
