    Episode 2/2 of Backpacking Montenegro. This time I doing lots of hiking and exploring of the mountains. After spending a night in Niksic, we got the bus directly to Zabljak which would be our base staying at Hikers Den Hostel. We hiked around the Black Lakes and up to Durmitor Camp in Durmitor National Park. Unfortunately the weather wasn't quite good enough to get to Bobotov Kuk but hopefully one day I can return and do this hike!

    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 RUclips 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'm definately putting this on my research list for hiking around the balkans. I know you are training for your pakistan trip and i can suggest doing the Yorkshire 3 peaks as a challenge to get ready for pakistan. I would suggest to just stay in leeds and take the 1 hour Train to Horton (where the challenge starts) then return back to leeds in the evening. I've just done it and highly recommend it.

    I was just scrolling and your vlog popped up. I’m from Montenegro and absolutely loved your video and the insight you gave 🥰.Montenegro is a tiny country but full of beautiful places, from beaches to mountain ranges and there are lot of activities that you can do lake rafting, hiking, horse riding , diving, skiing no mater what time of the year is. If you plan on visiting us again I recommend you visiting Biogradska gora and Lovćen national park, from Biogradska gora you could go hiking and horse riding on Bjelasica Mountain, there are some beautiful canyons like Nevidio, Tara, Mrtvica…There is also a large number of beauty and unique ethno villages across the whole country. Once again I really appreciate the video and hope you come and visit us again ❤️
    P.S. I laughed a lot at your pronunciation of the town Žabljak😅😂❤️

    Hi Christianne! So exciting to see you in Montenegro. I didn't known it was it's own country. Lol! Inspite of the "iffy" weather, the views and sceneries are still beautiful. Also nice to see you flying on the zipline again. I watched your El Nido video again just to compare the two. They're both wonderful and I'm just happy to see you having so much fun. Looking forward to your upcoming videos. 👋😄

    I was so unwell when I visited Zabljak waaaay back in 2013, and this video has highlighted that I need to go back and do it justice! I did a bit of rafting when I visited. In fairness, it was summer so the water levels may have been lower than when you ere there, but it was more like a 'gentle raft' down the river so I think you did right to give it a miss, Colombia RIP Go Pro or not 😉 I've never hitchhiked in my life before - am curious to know how long you had to wait until the couple picked you up? Super excited for your Albania videos!

We will choose our flight according to the bus time. If there is a company or website you can recommend to us, we would be very happy. Suggestions are welcome, thanks! :)
