“Travel from South America back to Florida with me,” she began. “I was so ready to leave, I honestly love South America but I hate staying in one place for too long, and we were supposed to be there for like five days, turned into two weeks. And I was just like, I need to go home.”
As she picked up her boarding pass, she added: “Of course my seat was 1D, I feel like this happens every single time I fly. I also get such anxiety before flying so I like broke out in this weird rash.”
After documenting the flight, Kate revealed that she’d safely arrived home in Miami. “I was so happy to be home. It was just so relieving. The first thing I did - ordered a bagel, obviously, with cream cheese because eggs gross me the f*** out, and then I got in my clean bed,” she explained.
