Hey guys, what is going on? I'm your host Lily Monroe and thank you so much for tuning
in to Escort Confessions. I guess it would be travels with sex worker or sex worker travels,
I don't know, or travels with Lily Monroe, I don't know. Maybe I should have a separate
podcast for this. But yeah, it's like it's not it's not sex workers just travels now.
Oh, speaking of travel, I really want to see Anthony, oh my god, Anthony Bourdain's travels.
I miss that show. But yeah, so this is London part five. So I rested on day five because
I decided to, you know, let my feet rest, do these podcasts for the future, you know,
do some cleaning, pack a little bit, wash some clothes, just, you know, get ready for the
departure in the next couple of days and see what what else could I explore in the next
few days because I've pretty much explored every touristy spot and like I had, I want
to see Hyde Park just because it's big. I'm sure there's it's a filming location for something
and it's a nice park and it's in a good area. And then I kind of want to check out Paddington
station because I love teddy bears and I love like Paddington is one of my favorite like
top three favorite movies. So yeah, because I love Paddington. It's amazing. He's amazing.
He's a cute bear and the story is cute. And I swear every freaking time I watch the movie,
there's this critical moment and I want to cry, but it's okay because it ends well. Yeah,
so I have to check out Paddington station and I am going to 221 Baker Street where Sherlock
lives. I don't think he's going to be home that day, but I still want to see the museum
and get my mom some stuff because she loves Sherlock Holmes. Like she, like since she
was a kid, she, you know, watched the films she read. She she's a reader in the family.
Like I don't read as much as I used to when I was a kid, but yeah, she loves to read.
So I'm probably going to buy something for her. Sorry, I'm definitely going to buy something
for her. Even though she says she wants magnets, but she's a woman. She'll be glad that I bought
some stuff for her. More than a magnet, something more than a magnet. So yeah, so I'm going
to go there. Then I'm going to go to Matt Hetter afternoon tea because I have to have
tea. And then after that, I'm going to the Portobello market, which is, I think it's
one of the touristy spots and just, just see what's out there. You know, again, I'm walking
everywhere. Well, I'm taking a tube to Paddington station if I can, if I can get to it without
getting lost. And then from then on, it's just going to be walking, walking, walking
and everything. Like I organize it in a way, I organize it in a way that I walk everywhere.
It's walking distance to everything. So yeah, so after that, I'm going to see, go to the
pub because I feel like it would be fun to go to the pub, try traditional food, try beer,
try all kinds of beer and probably take an Uber home because I'll probably be tipsy.
Yeah. And then on the last day, I, and on the last day, I, you know, have to finish
packing and check out the British Museum and the Twist Museum and maybe go to another pub,
take myself some food and get to bed early because I want to, my plane leaves at 11.45
so I have to be there at eight, hopefully with the whole, you know, border control and
finding the gate. Even though I have, you know, TSA, which is the fast pass pretty much,
was super helpful. I highly recommend getting it. It's, it's way cheaper than you think.
I think it's $75 a year or 125. It's somewhere there, but it's so worth it. But anyways,
yeah, even though I have TSA, I still want to get there at least three, three hours,
three hours before the departure. So yeah, so then I'd rather be super early than late
and early is always better than late. Yeah. So yeah, those are the plans, like visit museums
on the last day, just because I don't want to sit at home on the last day. Like I want,
I want to explore more and maybe, maybe I'll check out the House of Parliament and probably
the Shard because I booked a ticket on my third day, but because Shrek's adventure
lasted longer than it should have been, I kind of lost 35 pounds, which is 40 something
dollars, but it's fine. You know, it's fine. I'm more comfortable with losing money now
than it is. I have different relationship with money now. But yeah, probably check out
the Shard and hopefully the weather is going to be not rainy and hopefully sunny. Yeah.
And I kind of regret, maybe a little bit, a little bit, kind of regret resting on the
fifth day just because it was sunny the whole day and I was at home, but it's okay because
I need, I needed rest. I needed to rest. I needed to get some sleep. I needed to get
shit done. So check out some spots that are non-touristy. Maybe some of them are touristy.
And go from there. And guys, so I've, I've been so anxious because when, again, I have
not been out of the country in 12 or so years, maybe more, and the way you get into the border,
like you had to stand in line for the border officer to put a stamp in your passport. Right
now it's all electronic. You don't even have to have a stamp, which is super disappointing
because I wanted my first stamp to be British and I'm like, fuck, are you kidding me? So
hopefully I will not get in trouble for that. And hopefully, you know, the border officers,
they're like, okay, you're fine. Like, yeah, you're fine. Hopefully, what if they deport
me to Ukraine? What if they're going to hold me up and ask me questions? And I'll be like,
just please let me go home. I love your country, but I have stuff there and my cat, they're
like my children. But yeah. So wish me luck on that. I'm sure it's going to be fine.
Yeah. So yeah. And then probably after that, I'm going to plan a trip somewhere else. I've
been wanting to check out more of Canada because last time I was in Canada, I was on a cross
country trip with my parents who don't know freaking why I decided to drive from Alaska,
where I used to live, to Florida, Orlando. That took us a week to get there. Yeah, I
think it was a week, but anyways. So like, I didn't get to see much of Canada and I want
to see Canada. Canada is gorgeous. People are all so nice. People are cultured. People
are polite. They also have really colorful money and it's also British and people speak.
So they speak English, they speak French and there's lots of Ukrainians and Russians out
there, which I think is good because it's good. And they do have free healthcare, but
one of the, one of my clients that I recently met who is super cool and nice and really
sweet and gave me presents. Yeah, he said that healthcare might be free, but you have
to wait in long lines and schedule an appointment. Like it's still free, but you have to schedule
it and it's free for a reason. I'm like, okay, well still, but yeah. And I'm sure
Canadians, they have way better food and obviously they are all very active. Yeah. So yeah, probably
Canada will be my next destination or maybe Australia. And I might rent a car. I don't
know, but Australia is actually, it's almost as big as United States. Yeah, because it
takes a very long time to go around Australia apparently, because guess what? I didn't realize
this and I did not know that the map is wrong. It's completely wrong because if you go to
Google and just compare the size of different countries, it's going to blow your mind. Yeah.
Oh, and apparently in Australia, their map is upside down. So like Australia is at the
top left corner, right onto it is, you know, China and Russia and, and on the other side
is United States. So it's like, it's upside down, which I think is super cool. It's a
little bit confusing just because people in Europe are used to one map. People in Australia
are used to another map. So it's like, I'm like, this is really cool. Kind of creepy,
but that's cool. Yeah, cause I was going to go to New Zealand, but I don't know, whenever
I go to my Delta app, no trips are popping up. So, and I really don't feel like doing
another airline because I lose points and I don't know. I like Delta. I trust Delta.
Delta was the first company that got me into United States. And after that, I'm like, I
fly with Delta, not American Airlines who freaking lost my baggage. The first time I
and the first and last time I was with them. Yeah, I flew with them. You know, I don't
know how United, how good United is or what are the ones out there, but yeah, I like Delta.
So Australia might be, might be next destination. So Canada, Australia, maybe I'll go to Ireland
and see my, my real family, my Ukrainian family. It would be really interesting because they're
like, Oh my God, you look so different, but I have to get skinny. I feel like I have to,
I have to get super skinny just because they won't make fat jokes again. Because I remember
when I came to Ukraine and I got fat after being in America for a year and a half, my
cousins made fun of me because I was fat and I was, I was fat. I was overweight and yeah,
so like I have to look good and whatnot. Yeah, this, this time only. And you know, just talk
with them. Like I have not seen my Ukrainian family for 12 years, 12 or 13 years. So it
would be fun. And I get to explore Dublin and more of Ireland and it's going to be similar
weather because maybe a little bit more rainy than in UK, but yeah. So Ireland, maybe Scotland,
maybe I'll go to Scotland and try to understand what the heck people are saying to me. Even
when they speak English, they speak yeah, with Scottish accent, like I don't know. It's
like very, very rough. Yeah. So maybe Scotland, maybe, I don't know, I was thinking Denmark,
going to Denmark because yeah, I've been hearing really good things about it. So yeah, I was
thinking of France, but I have to learn the language first. So why could, so people would
not think that I'm a dumb American because apparently when I talked with some people
here in UK, they thought I was American. My last thing, my last job is to not sound or
look like an American, which I hope I don't. I really hope I don't because I still have,
you know, my Jewish slash Ukrainian nose and, you know, mature facial features. Yeah, because
American girls, they all look kind of the same. They look cute, but they're American.
I don't know. No, there's some gorgeous American girls and yeah, and most of them, I have a
question because most of them are actresses. But yeah, I do hope I don't look like American
and because they said I have American accent, I'm like, oh my God, no, no, no, that's the
last thing I want to do. And when I, whenever, you know, in my personal life, I tape auditions,
they say that I sound like a Russian. I'm like, oh, come on now, come on, is this why
I'm not getting the part? But yeah, anyways. Yeah, so stay tuned wherever it is I'm going
to go. I still haven't decided, like I want to book the trip while I'm still here in UK.
But I'm kind of scared about the whole border thing. And yeah, so fingers crossed. Cross
your fingers for me or pray for me. I don't know how religious you are, but yeah, hopefully
it will be all fine. Yeah. So this is it. This is the end of part five or six. I think
it's five. Yeah. And thank you so much for listening to me ramble and I might have another
part just on my travels. So yeah, stay tuned and hope you guys have a great day or evening
or even morning wherever it is you're at. Bye.
