She’s been on a tour of many EU countries since August. She doesn’t intend to return to the UK before next year.
Post-Brexit rules allow British citizens to spend 90 days out of 180 in the bloc’s Schengen free-travel zone.
Honour, a Cheshire resident, claims that he has found a way around the restrictions.
She said that she wouldn’t be required to return to Britain for three more months, as is the norm.
“We need to figure out a way to explore this beautiful world we have,”She spoke.
“That’s why I looked for a loophole which I hope will work – although we will have to wait and see.”
Honour, who reportedly makes £4,000 a month with her travel and modelling content, has visited France, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Italy and Hungary – all within the Schengen Zone.
Honour’s clever loophole is that Romania and Bulgaria do not belong to the zone.
She’s allowed to stay in Romania for three months without a visa – the amount of time she needs to be out of the Schengen area.
Honour will travel to Bucharest to test her theory.
After the three-month period, she can travel again and stay another 90 days in Schengen.
She said: “Hopefully this loophole will work but we will have to wait and see.
“When I cross into Romania I have to get them to stamp my passport so I have proof that I have left.
“It’s really important because otherwise I could be penalised or be banned for life from the EU apparently.”

A new visa system has been introduced to allow all UK citizens to travel to Europe in the next year. This means that Brits who are going to Europe next years will need to pay to get into any EU country.
