NathanSkype Dates
So the plane safely landed and Zilla reached safe and sound. By the time she reached her hotel room, the first thing that Zilla did was Skyping with her parents to let them know the place where she would be living in for the next few weeks during her stay in Thailand. Zilla frequently Skyped her parents and she would always keep them posted on her whereabouts that day. Zilla would tell them about what she ate, the beautiful places she went to and the wonderful people she met on her journey. So it made her parents feel a little better and a lot less worried to know that she was doing good.
Backpacking Around South-East Asia
She soon stayed in Thailand for a few days and did whatever she was set to do. So next it was time for Zilla to move on to Cambodia and then to Laos. It was a frequent thing for the 25-year-old to Skype with her mother and father and also her dear friends to show them how her new rooms are every time she changes locations. So, on every Skype session, Zilla made sure to inform them about all of the wonderful adventures she got to enjoy every day. She would also speak about the other people, the backpackers she met along the way and their new friendship. She seemed very happy to be experiencing all this.
Social Media Updates
The meaning of taking a vacation would be lost if someone spends most of their days cooped up in their hotel rooms right? So, Zilla was not about to waste her time in her hotel room doing nothing. So even though Zilla made time to Skype her family each week during her trip, she did not intend on spending her whole time during her vacation stuck in her hotel room or on the computer talking to people from her home. So she made it a point to document each of her moves and adventures that she embarked upon each day. She would send these photos to her closed ones and occasionally share them online.
Photos Of Paradise
It would be a new photo every day that Zilla would post or send her family. Every chance she gets Zilla would go back to the hotel room she stayed in, to post whatever pictures she was able to click and the adventures she experienced. The majority of these photos showed her having so much fun swimming in the fresh blue waters at the heavenly beaches that she got to visit, while some of the images showed her going to ancient temples, and some pictures were all about the mouth-watering delicacies these South-Asian countries had to offer. Zilla was having the time of her life and it was very evident in the radiant smile she would wear on her social media photos.
Stuck At Home
To see someone you know experiencing the kind of life we see on television would definitely make anyone of us green with jealousy. So we cannot blame Zilla’s dear friends and family who were incredibly jealous of Zilla each time she would post pictures of all the amazing things she did and experienced while backpacking through all these countries. Everyone else was still stuck in their own boring, mundane lives, going to work or attending classes. She was the hot topic of conversation that everyone was speaking about. They were all bummed that she had the luxury of indulging in all these activities while they were stuck at home.
Living A Lie
But wait, there was something that no one had any knowledge about. It is something that no one thought possible because she was doing such a good job of hiding it. Zilla had kept some secrets from all of her loved ones.No one that spoke to Zilla was aware that she was not actually experiencing all of the stuff that she was posting online. Her updates about online for everyone else to see were all fake as well. To make things even more bizarre, this 25-year-old graphic design student had not even been to south-east Asia like everyone thought she was. It was all a lie and everybody fell for it.
