" TikTok has allowed Chloe, who works for a creative agency, to connect with her followers, who have been sending in suggestions for streets and areas she should visit next. "Everyone is suggesting tall hills, and I’ve had so many people asking me to visit streets they used to live on, for example old Brighton university students," she said. Chloe’s fans are not just watching, they are actively participating in her journey, which has made the experience even more meaningful to her.
One of Chloe’s favourite discoveries so far has been the "Cuddly Colony" in East Street, a quirky and hidden spot she never knew existed before starting her walks.

" Chloe says she is looking forward to finding more hidden gems. On the subject of Tiktok, Chloe has encouraged others interested in content creation to be brave and give it a go. "Just go for it - you could film anything," she said.
"People should pursue it if they want to." As she continues her walks, Chloe’s adventure is not just about ticking off streets on a map but it is about reminding people of the beauty that exists all around them..
