Video Sparks Debate
An American tourist said she did not like Australia after visiting.
American travel blogger Gracie Cheng labelled her two-week trip “bland”.
She visited Australia for two weeks in May last year.
She travelled to Melbourne, Gold Coast, Byron Bay and Sydney.
Why She Was Unimpressed
Cheng has close to 70,000 combined followers on Instagram and TikTok.
She shared a video on December 29 listing her reasons.
She said none of the cities really stood out to her.
She added Australia is known more for nature than city life.
“The trip pretty much consisted of mediocre beaches and city life.”
Distance Was A Issue
However, Cheng said the country feels far from everything else.
She called travelling to Australia inconvenient and a hassle.
“Australia is also just so far away from everywhere else in the world.”
“Travelling time alone probably takes over 24 hours.”
Some Positives Remained
Now, she said she still had a good time overall.
She said Australia feels cheaper than cities like Paris and London.
“I don’t wanna only talk about the negatives, I did have a good time here,”
Food And Reactions
Later, Cheng praised the food at Australian restaurants.
She said every restaurant she tried was so good.
“I’m impressed to say that every restaurant we went to was so good.”
Finally, her video divided viewers, with strong reactions on both sides.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Gracie Cheng for comment.
