A Louisiana woman has been recounting on social media her experience of sustaining herself in Thailand with only $7 in her bank account, relying on her faith in God, her adventurous spirit, and the generosity of her followers and friends.
However, her journey has not been devoid of challenges and sacrifices after she took a one-way flight to Japan. She stayed there one day and due to expenses, she took another one-way flight to Thailand.
At one point last year, Kiaa’s TikTok page was taken down. Her newly restored TikTok account has documented only a portion of her travels but shares that she decided to move from Baton Rouge to Asia within the last year with no desire to come back to America.
The young woman says she purchased a one-way ticket to Japan, but within one day there realized that did not want to stay there and bought herself a one-way ticket to Thailand.
She said she moved to the country “with no plans and not knowing anything about the country.”
“After staying in Thailand for five months, I still was not able to obtain income. I still wasn’t able to figure out how to make income. I ran out of money, and that is how I ended up homeless,” she says in one video pinned to the top of her profile.
