A woman who mistakenly said that Wales was in England on TikTok has arrived in Wales having been personally invited to visit by First Minister Mark Drakeford. Pavlina Sudrich, who has over 207,200 followers on the social media platform, comes from the remote city of Whitehorse in the northwest Canadian territory of Yukon.
The TikTok star is an avid hunter, with her videos often capturing life in one of the remotest places in North America. In a video that was posted last November, she demonstrated how she kept warm in the territory's cold weather but a slip-of-the-tongue led to her being criticised by many of her Welsh followers.
During the video, Pavlina talked about an item she had recently bought called a Cosymajig, which is a type of sling for a hot water bottle or heat pack. The product had been created in Wales. Pavlina said: "If you have ever been cold or someone you know gets cold, you need to stop and look at what I've discovered. It's called the Cosymajig, it's a wool hot water bottle harness so you can get on with winter life but with this secret weapon of warmth. I saw this online and ordered one immediately, they are handmade by a woman named Belinda in Wales, England".
