“Travelling as a Fat Person”
Young woman shows the problems overweight people encounter on vacation
Not only in everyday life but also on vacation, overweight people encounter problems again and again.
Finally holidays! But not everyone can really relax in a hotel. In a viral and self-deprecating video, a 28-year-old American woman shows how difficult “traveling as a fat person” can be.
Unwind in the hotel, relax by the pool and forget your worries: That’s exactly what many people want from their summer vacation and it’s no different for 28-year-old Mary from the USA and her family. But as soon as she checks in, she realizes that the hotel room is obviously not equipped for overweight people. Without further ado, she decides to capture the problems in a holiday video.
I deal with this through humor. I made fun of a situation that is a very real stress for fat, plus-size people.
In the video we show you Mary’s hotel tour, which obviously struck a chord with many people.
