ABOUT ME🙋🏻♀️
I'm Christianne, a solo traveller, vlogger and entrepeneur from Surrey, UK. I spend half my time exploring new places around the globe with my backpack, and the other half creating videos about my experiences, what I'm packing, solo travel advice, money budgeting tips and anything else in relation to my backpacking lifestyle.

FAQ's
How do you afford to travel? - I now earn a full time living through creating these UA-cam videos, affiliate links, selling digital products and my clothing line. I used to simply just work any temporary job I could find to save up to travel! I budget the money I earn meticulously to reach my savings goals using www.backpackingbananas.com/pr...
Is travelling solo safe? - I would argue the answer is almost always yes! As long as you use your common sense and you follow your own government's guidelines about travelling in that country. I have made several videos on backpacking safety on my channel.
Do you have plans to settle down? Yes, I'm currently saving to purchase my first property in the UK and I'd love to have children one day. I doubt I'll ever live a completely 'conventional' lifestyle by society's standards though, as I often have my own preferred way of doing things.

This is perfection. I know you know how useful this must be for people beginning their travel journeys but you have NO idea how freaking useful this really is?! 😂 I shall be waking up tomorrow morning, watching this video again and starting my check list (admittedly from about half way at this point) hehe!
Yayyy im SO pleased to hear that 🥳🥳🥳 good luck with the planning!
Super love this. I think this list is helpful for any traveller, really. Also love how the welcome to travel tours really makes sure that you aren't alone in your journey. This will really be something I will be putting in my list soon.
This couldn't have come at a more perfect time! Heading to Australia early next year but will be applying for my visa hopefully by July!!! Had already watched your Australia content from years back so glad to see you're back there again :)
Nothing more on time than this video 😍🇦🇺 thank youuuuu
Finally what I've been looking for thank you so much!
you two bounce off each other so well and are respectful when the other person is talking, makes for an easy to watch video. New subscriber here :)
You guys are soooo great thank you for making these videos. I'm going solo travelling to Aus for the first time in Jan 23. These videos make me feel like it's all gonna be okay lol! x
This is SO helpful thank you so much!!
Hi! Thank you for the very useful video! :)
I LOVE a check list! This video is so incredibly helpful and I'm excited to get started!
Me too 😍😍 yay!
Omg I actually just LOVE videos like this! I’m in the process of applying for a New Zealand working holiday visa so I find them all v applicable - it’s now or it’s not hey!
Absolutely the right attitude 🥳
Glad to watch your lovely videos.
Ahhh I'm thinking about this rn!! You're videos have been such a big help and inspiration 💛
Yayy ❤️❤️
I love your videos! You are an ispiration for us. ❤️
More great info and resources!
Ahh this is all such great advice! Thank you so much for the shoutout🥺💕
Well done guys, Australia needs the working holiday folks to return 👍
I'm starting my Working holiday Visa this September.
This video is just perfect
Woo so exciting! So glad you found it helpful!
This got me so excited! Definitely going to do a working holiday Visa with in the next year! Thank you both so much for this, super helpful!
I want to work as a personal trainer/fitness/Pilates instructor x
did you go?
Thats ecxactly what i needed right now 😍😍🙏🏼
Great timing 🥳🥳
What a great vlog.and a nice couple.😀
You guys are a life saver....tysm
The video i wanted! I am arriving in august for my working holiday
Yay, how exciting. Not too long to go now :) Where are you starting your Australian travels?
Such an informative video :))
Hi, I'm Natsumi from Japan. I'm planning to go to Australia and am thinking about working as a coffee barista in Australia. I love making coffee and I've worked as a barista in Japan for a year. I'm excited about the prospect of living and working in a new country, and I'm looking forward to meeting new people and experiencing a new culture. about working as a coffee barista in Australia.
Planning on going to australia for a few months for working at some horse places and traveling around. I've seen a lot of stuff with my parents already a few years back and now i wanna go back just because i freaking can!!! hahah thank you
Thanks for the info.
Pleasure 😊
I’m planning on studying in Sydney from July to November, which is very exciting, and then travelling around for a month after!
🥳🥳🥳 how good!
GUYS this is brilliant. Very helpful. ------- I have to say this is the only working holiday visa video I've found that mentions anything about prescription medication!
Great to hear you guys are aware of the people with disabilities (Seen & Unseen) that may want to travel AUZ as well.
What are the best means to find out if my prescribed medication is available in Australia? I have contacted all PBS, medicare and even the Government Health site contact emails and not found out if my medication is available and if it is even affordable under the medicare! (GOD BLESS THE NHS!)
Your help would be amazing! Cant wait to join the Welcome Travel tours!
I don't know why I'm watching this. I live in Australia I'm apparently old and I have just started a family....but it's still exciting
I’m coming in January guys I can’t wait! I’m going to join your Facebook group as I have no idea where to go 😂
Couting down the days for my own Welcome to Sydney Tour with these guys and I cannot wait! I'm always making lists so this is super helpful thank you! I want to work in a cocktail bar shaking cocktails on the beach. Any advice on getting the RSA? Do you need different ones for different states? Love your videos!
We can't wait to have you join us. RSA do vary from state to state in Australia unfortunately. What state were you looking at working?
So helpful! Me and my boyfriend are going in September and we were sat ticking each thing off our list 😅
Hahaha amazing!! We love to see it 😎
Hello ! thank you for this video, verry helful. I am arriving in australia on the 17th october 2022. Obviously looking for a job !
Have you ever been to Perth? Was thinking of starting there on my WHV and then making way to Melbourne and up the East coast but it seems many people skip it out for some reason!
This is something I'd love to do. I am about to graduate from university and I don't have anything planned for my next step. I know I want to start working but I also want to finally travel. I was suppose to study abroad in Denmark but covid took that away, so I never got that solo travel experience.
Sounds like a working holiday visa would be a perfect option for you!
Im travelling to aus hopefully by December! Only just sent my visa off but once that comes through I'm gonna get a flight and jus look into hostels in Melbourne, get lieka cafe job when I'm out there and after a month hopefully get a spare room kind of deal with a mate but don't think you need to necessarily fly out with a job already set up, you can find one there and I'm gonna do regional work after a little while of research whilst im out there as don't wanna end up in a bad place
Hey! Great video! I'd like to ask how you did your health check. Did you go through an NHS clinic or does it have to be an approved Australian clinic in London? Thanks :)
Do you happen to know the name of the app you were speaking about where you can add notes and pictures of your journey? TIA
I just got on a plane and turned up. pretty easy. I got a job at Cole's Supermarkets within about 2 weeks of arriving 😅
Congrats!! 😊
@@BackpackingBananas cheers! Admittedly it's all a bit easier if you have a NZ passport to go with your English one (which used to be Euro passport 😤). AUD$1000/day + 10% super pays for a lot of travel, and it's 100% working from home 🕺 Missing Thailand a bit but as far as working holidays go, it could be worse 😁 I hope you're getting some sun wherever you are - it's back to daily rain here again 😭
Is there any chance where a work and holiday visa can turn into a longer stay? Like get sponsored by an employee to live in Australia?
I wanna work as a divemaster in Australia, is this doable ? Do you have any tips or advice on how to get a dive job in the country?
Also LOVE your videos :)
Amazing video, got 3 questions left. 1. Is it mainly 18 year olds doing the visa or will i meet more people around my age 27? 2. Is it sensible to go and do this as someone who is not jabed? I heard people are really adamant about this stuff there (not sure if it varies per state). 3. How easy are restaurant and farm jobs to get at the moment and will they usually do minimal pay or could it be more?
Hi, thank you for this video! It’s really insightful and has helped me know where to start with preparation for my trip! ☺️ I’d just like to ask how I can access the savings checklist, I’ve currently downloaded the travel checklist but cannot seem to find the other one
Hii Nina, please email hello@backpackingbananas.com with your order confirmation numbers and we can help you!
how do you get emergency cash before you get to australia? another advice video said to get it before you land, because the taxes or commissions or something are really high in the airport.
Bloody lifesaver tbh
can you do 6 months of rural work in one go and earn your 2nd and 3rd year visas in one stint? thanks for all the tips!
Tip I’ve come across - with A Revolut premium account you get travel insurance included. Only £7.99 a month so way cheaper than any quotes I managed to find, plus other benefits that come with the account!
They have aaximum trip length of 90 days though so be careful. They won't cover you for a long backpacking trip
Work ideally I would be looking for is graphic designer/web designer first options
I would looove to do my whv once I’m done with school and work in conservation 🥰
Yayyy a perfect treat for all your hard work :) When do you finish school?
@@WelcometoTravel Yess!! 🥳 I still have 3 semesters left though haha
@@zoerheaume9124 That is not long to go. You will be finished in no time :)
Wise also provide 'Bank account" details for the UK, the USA, Australia and Europe
How many days does it take to set up an Australian bank account? I wanna start working asap
What's the best website for apartments? I'm going this month and won't be staying in a hostel.
this video takes me back to a better time lol
Back in the good ol days 😅
Back in the good ol days 😅
i’ve just booked my tickets to cairns for my WHV in august and i’m scared i’ve chosen the wrong place to start 😬 is cairns still a good place to start? i want to work my way down the east coast instead of up due to the time of year i’m going
Hey, I'm planning on doing a WHV in Australia too. It is all new and exciting, so a massive thank you for these kind of videos! ☺️ As a job I would like to help/coach in basketball camps for children. Plan to come October - March. Is this job a good idea? Is it done already by backpackers? Do you have recommendations (don't have a coach diploma though)? Love both of your YT channels 🙌
It is so exciting to hear that you are planning on doing a working holiday in Australia :) Coaching basketball is not a common job by backpackers in Australia. This means less competition for yourself. More common sports people work at are surf schools. Where are you thinking of starting your Australian trip?
@@WelcometoTravel Thanks for replying 🙏 I had a feeling that it isn't common 😅 Well, like to start in Sydney or maybe Melbourne, still figuring that out...
@@elifbes3457 It is a tough choice. If you are into sport Melbourne is considered the sporting capital of Australia :)
Have you got any other recommendations for a 40-50l backpack that opens like a suitcase? I can't find the Eagle Creek Global Companion in stock anywhere💚
The Osprey fairview/fairpoint is a nice option! Doesn’t open quite the same but it’s the next best thing 😊
Is post office travel insurance okay?
Hey Christianne! I'm going to Western Australia in August. I know you mentioned it briefly in this vid but what was the exact process to get in covid-wise? Did you have to have a PCR test before-did they check? Can you just show the NHS Covid pass on your phone at the airport or do you have to print it off/get a certificate instead? Anything else that I'm missing? Thanks in advance! ☺️
Hey Tazmin! Honestly the rules are likely to soften up a fair bit by August so I recommend just checking the Australian immigration website a week or so before you go! Im pretty sure what I did to get in 6 weeks ago already has changed! The restrictions change fast!
Recommendations for travel insurance when you have a medical condition to declare? I’ve seen lots of suggestions for general insurance but they don’t ask about medical conditions. It’s only mild asthma but I want to declare it just in case x
World Nomads Travel Insurance has cover for existing medical conditions, they also can insure you for many other things as well :)
What is the Facebook group called again im coming out to Australia in September on my own need a place to talk to other travellers😁
Perfect video but I can't help but keep think that his voice sound like Jon Snow!
If you come to the Gold Coast, I will show you around 🥺🌸✨
That’s where I plan to stay when I’m coming on my whv 🙌🏾
@@BANGTEEZ_IN_YOUR_AREA yes message me, I know the good places around here ☺️
Whats the name of that app!? It didn't actually get mentioned in the video but it sounds incredible and something I'd love to have as I travel round SE Asia in July :D
Which app were we talking about??
@@BackpackingBananas One where you can share your journey with your family and upload like a daily blog and pictures etc? You mentioned one of your friends had it on their phone but couldn’t remember the name of it 😫
I have just applied for holiday working visa just what I need
Woooo 😍😍
Plz vám you help mě to work in austorali
Is there a need for butchers?
Is it easy to get a job as a chef On a working holiday visa?
Australia is very desperate for workers at the moment, especially in the hospitality industry :) When are you planning on coming over?
Planning around 2025 too
I have a question: Is it possible to apply for a working holiday visa when you already had the visa about 7 years ago? 🤔Or can you only apply for it once in a lifetime?
The answer to this question used to be no. But we may be in luck as they may be changing the rules to mean we could get another chance!
What’s the Facebook group?
100 command
Me just realising I’ll be that one person watching in 2025 because that’s when I’m planning on going to Aus 🇦🇺🦘
See you again in 3 years 😅
@Neyha Waqar I'll be here in 2024! Planners unite haha!
Me, an Australian: 👀
You guys just have living the dream as a built in lifestyle 😅😍
New update
Is the whole COVID shazaz still relevant in 2023?
If yoy want many viewers just simple make video in indonesia🤭
Am Jansen from African Nigeria I wish to migrate to Australia please share your mobile with me
Would love to go but not getting an experimental vaccine to go to a communist style country especially when I have natural immunity which pfizer says is just as good according to their released data papers... but love watching Christianne's videos, I guess this is the closest I will get 🙃
my boyfriend and i are planning to go to australia for 3 months in november. We would like to land in sydney, hire a van and go to kangaroo island and then back along the coast to cairns. Is this recommended or do you have a better idea? would like to hear! 🌸🦘
Sounds amazing :) Maybe you could fly to Adelaide and hire a van from there, that way you don't back track on your trip.
