    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.

    I remember watching your videos in 2017 about Australia because I was going for a W &H visa there. I ended up staying two years and I came back home right before the covid started in march 2020 (I was lucky as my visa finished exactly then!). I hope I'll make it to AU sometime in the future but for me, to move in there (even I'd love that) it feels that it's way too far away from Finland, which is the place I'm from and where all my friends and family are... happy to see your back to AU! These videos make me so happy and I realize what an experience it was for me to stay there for two years. These videos give me the memories of me first watching your videos of Australia based videos before I went there in 2017!

I'm 21 and I could count on my hand the number of times I've seen a wild snake. There are spiders but they're not that bad, they do their own thing, stay outside or the most common ones in houses are huntsman spiders or daddy long legs. Daddy long legs can't even hurt humans either. I promise you, Australia really isn't as dangerous as it seems!
