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.backpackin...
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.

"why buy a house when you can go to peru" is gonna be my favourite quote to live by in the future
😂😂
Should've done a slo-mo, deep voice edit on that quote and made it into a meme 😂
Your eyes shine brighter and your face lights up more when you talk traveling over buying a boring house.
Thanks Jeffrey, the house is also gonna be smashing though 😅 just a more distant plan 🌚
Complete world tour nice effert,🥰
Literally how every planning session goes 😂 maps and interesting flight combos can take you into all sorts of directions 😅
😂😂 such a fun game honestly
haha yes exactly 😂
Oh my gosh that Thailand retreat sounds like such a freaking dream!!! I'm so happy and excited for you for all of your travel plans! You've inspired my to dare to go solo traveling. I've done it in the past BUT now this Sunday I'm flying to Thailand to do my biggest and longest backpacking trip yet in South East Asia and Australia and yesss I'm going totally solo and you've totally motivated me to believing it's possible. Thanks so much for that! This video got me even more excited and I can't wait. Have the best trips ever and enjoy your time at home before traveling! Looking forward for all of the amazing videos to come!
This is so exciting - well done!! We’re on a similar vibe, I’m doing the same and travelling to Thailand next month. Hope your trip goes well!
I’m so excited for you Christie! Traveling is way better than buying a house!
I've been researching backpacking Peru for several months then got cold feet and put it on the backburner. Recently got my first Osprey bag and when I was looking at another bag on the site it featured a Peru travel book in the promo picture and now I'm watching your video about traveling to Peru. Might be time to revisit 😁
Definitely a sign you should go!!!
OMG!! Why did I not know that we’re the exact same age, Christianne!! I’ve been watching your channel for years and never knew!! High five to turning thirty this year! 🥹
the smile,the shine in your eyes, you clearly are made for this travel life. Life is short, the world is wide, go out there and make some memories
I love living vicariously through your travel planning! I miss travel so much since covid changed everything!
You are literally living all of my biggest dreams! While i have probably done more travelling than the average person, I admire you so much for actually just going when there's somewhere you want to go! obviously you're at the advantage where you can just go because this is your actual job (which i still can't even wrap my head around cos it seems to good to be true), I know you have made this happen for yourself. You have inspired me to just bite the bullet and book places i want to go, unfortunately, very recently, my dreams have been shattered a little since I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. And i am now restricted by access to my daily and weekly medication and treatments, which has completely devastated me... i haven't yet figured out a way I can back pack with my condition, but i am determined to give it a go one day soon! if you or anyone in the comments has any advice for me, I would appreciate this endlessly, because I'm not ready to let my chronic illness (at age 22) destroy my dreams yet
Hey really sorry to hear about your arthritis at such young age (my elderly mom has so I have some idea)…
What I would suggest is travel! Take your meds and travel!
Maybe not a very hard and rough backpacking trip and maybe not too much of adventure sports etc, but travel.
Arthritis is there for the long haul, but don’t let it hold you back.
@@anups7958 thank you I really appreciate your reply! X
same here!
These are my favourite ever videos - seeing the plan come together is so satisfying!!
Loved this video! You have such great energy. I think you should Definitely go travelling now and see everywhere you want to see! You have your whole life to buy a house but you will never be this young again 👏🏼 and congrats on setting up the trip to Thailand it sounds amazing. So cool to see what you’ve achieved from RUclips, I’ve been watching you for years x
I’m arriving Lima tomorrow (28th) then working down to La Paz, (currently in Guayaquil). Happy travels.👌
This video came at such a perfect time! I've been backpacking for 2 years now and am quite exhausted. My plan was to leave in late August to Peru and stay until Christmas before returning home. Yet now, I won't be leaving until beginning October and 2 months just doesn't seem like enough time. I feel so stressed to fit everything in, including visiting a friend in Buenos Aires, yet I didn't understand where this sense of "urgency" came. Perhaps its because I return to uni next year and feel this clock ticking, but I now I will continue to travel for the rest of my life and in reality, there is no rush.
🥰🥰🥰
The scratch map part is always so satisfying
I bloody love it 🥰🥰
I love her so much . She’s my inspo
I also watched that movie on the plane after my peruvian friend recommended it to me. Loved the scenery so much!! As a travel consultant I make a lot of itineraries for Peru but it's high on my bucketlist to visit it myself :) You are going to love it so much!!!
Eeek I can’t wait 😍 i think I’ll have to watch the movie again on the flight over!
@@BackpackingBananas for sure!! Will be good for your Spanish practice as well ;)
You uploading has made my day I can’t wait to watch
❤️❤️❤️
Loved to hear how you organise your travel, and hear the excitement in your voice, it's contagious
I'm like that as well, whenever i see some inspiring and beautiful places on some videos i watch, i get butterflies and just wanted to go there. Yeah, just a wanderlust things. 🤩
This is one of my favorite videos you’ve ever put out! Love how your brain works😊
Really loved this video, Christianne. I’m solo interrailing for the second time this weekend and so hyped. Back binging your videos like I did 5 years ago. Also thanks for talking about house stuff. I’m the same age as you and there’s so much unnecessary pressure on it these days!
Thanks Natalie ❤️❤️ I hope the Interrailing goes well 😍😍
I love Ecuador!!! Quito is amazing, the Galapagos is expensive... but you have to do it if you are going. you can't go to Ecuador without the Galapagos you just can't.
Hahaha that would be really cool to go to the Galapagos!
@@BackpackingBananas :P
The stages you went through were similar to mine when I was planning my own 6-month trip around the world earlier this year, it brought back good memories! I don't blame you for going on these trips instead of buying a home right now; when you're my age, you won't regret not buying a house earlier but you may regret places you didn't see. I wish I was young enough to go on your Thailand trip, sounds fantastic!🏖🍹
💝💝💝
I am heading to Thailand next week, I will be 52 in November!
@@SabraKay You're lucky, have fun!🏖
I remember the gap year to Peru video 🤣 I actually love your ethos towards money. Asking yourself what else you could do with £2,000 rather than having 1 week on the other side of the planet!
Money can go soooo far when you’re backpacking hey!
I'm going to Peru in October too! It'll be my first time out of the US and my first time backpacking. Thanks for this video!
I resonate with you so much! I’ve planned to finish another degree, one year in, I’ve decided to have a break and travel the Southeast Asia as that’s what my heart wants 💗 the universe sends as where we have to go 🌞🌞
I’m definitely watching your videos to help my planning my big trip. Lots of love to 🌸
Busuu is amazing! Did help me a lot!
Best luck on your next adventure! Even it’s just chill! Lol
It is so funny that you're going to Peru! I came across your channel in preparations for my first solo backpacking trip... to Peru lol I'll be going in November/December so who knows, maybe we will inadvertently cross paths!
You have plans till April 2023. I love that!
Oooh so excited you’re going to Ecuador and Peru because I have a trip booked to both countries in January and February! Can’t wait to see what you get up to 👏🥳
I was just thinking after you scratched off Egypt that South America looks like it needs more attention. “My travel dreams are bigger than my home owner dreams” couldn’t agree more.
Hi! I often check your videos, and it’s my first comment:)
Actually, I’m gonna go to Peru as solo in this November, too! I’d like to see you very much🌏✈️and thank you for telling me a nice film. I’ll watch it before going to Peru:)
Ah exciting! Yes maybe I will bump into you :)
Oh amazing! That's so exciting, cannot WAIT to see the videos. ✨
I totally understand that feeling of urgency and trying to fit in as much as possible. I also have to remind myself to slow down! Lol
Watching this video whilst sitting in a hostel in Cusco eating my breakfast!😂 It’s amazing (Cusco, not the breakfast), soooo much to see and do. Went to Humantay Lake yesterday and it is unreal!❤
We did flight into Lima, short flight to Cuzco. 4 day hike to Machu Picchu. Then "luxury bus" to Lake Titicaca then bus across to Arequipa. We spent Christmas in Arequipa and it was wonderful. Then north Peru - Mancora for NYE, for surfing and beach time! Then maybe bus to Equador?? AAAAH travel planning is the best!!
Girl you are my idol 🙌🏼😂 so happy you are crushing it and excited for your retreat!
Sounds like a great plan wonderful Christie!!! 💖
you're living the dream 😍 so happy for you!
I can’t actually believe this! I’m flying to Peru in October for two months! If I see you I don’t want you to think I’m stalking you hahahahaha
😂😂 good job I have no idea what you look like otherwise fingers shall be pointed
Check out Banos in Ecuador, they have the cutest Christmas lights! We saved all through covid after having to return from India and last month moved into our new house. We saved for travels alongside house purchase and figure we will just rent it out when we go again (hopefully in April!)
Good plan. Buying a house is overrated. I bought mine at 30, wished I would've waited. You go on your trips! When you decide to settle down they'll be excuses or other reasons to postpone travel. Btw, your hair is lovely.
Haha I am leaving for Brazil on december 6th and after that was planning on going to Bolivia and Colombia. Deliberately not wanting to go to Peru because I was not that interested. Then I also saw the same movie on Netflix and decided that I most definitely should add Peru to my travel plans! So funny. It's good (unplanned) marketing for Peru it seems. I just ended op on your channel today, I like your videos! And looking forward to seeing your travel videos in Peru.
Peru is a backpackers paradise! 🇵🇪 Prepare for that high altitude in Cusco! Machu Picchu is lower than Cusco and easier to acclimate to. If you have time I recommend going to Manu!
I can’t wait 😍
Ahhh I just treked Perú/ Machu Pichu in July and had the best time!! I would deffo recommend the salkantay trek for the best views ever!
I can’t wait 😍😍
omg im going to peru in october, i really really hope we cross paths, you've been my biggest inspiration to travel as much as i have and plan to
Loved that video and your energy, totally worth pursuing travel plans over everything else! ✨
Absolutely wonderful to listen to you and your dreams! You remind me of myself when I was your age as far as traveling - the only difference, is you're actually doing it! I bought the house instead ;-) So, since I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, I think I"m going traveling :-)
love the idea, would definitly attend just to hangout. pretty sure ill be at full moon party already thoe, cant wait to see the vlog of how it went!
I watched this movie a few weeks ago, and it filled me with the same wanderlust butterflies, the next day I bought a ticket to Sri Lanka. I’m going in 3 weeks🤞🏻
I love your videos I've been watching you since I was 12 and now I'm 15 you've inspired me to backpack and now I have a whole plan for the future. I'm so grateful for you for showing me this backpacking world, now im looking for jobs to earn money to backpack when im 18
Hello Christianne! I watched “Without Saying Goodbye” on your recommendation when you spoke of it in another video and I loved it too!
This sounds exactly how my trip planning always goes. Constantly changing as I look things up 😅 one way tickets are my best friend.
Yayy loveeeed watching this and SO excited because I will be in Peru at the same time as you this year!
The Thailand dive retreat honestly sounds so so good!! Hopefully you'll do something similar again with scuba diving in the future and for sure will join that. Moving to Australia in March so saving all my last coins 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Can’t wait for the South American vlog series 🤩
Enjoy your travels.. I hope someday you can remake new adventures again in Colombia. It has inspired me to travel as well. Awesome work!!
These are my favourite type of videos of yours!
So excited for all the new South America videos😍 I want to visit those countries so badly
As a peruvian, te doy la bienvenida a Peru!!! Im so happy you are coming to explore my country, can’t wait to watch the video of your fun adventures.
I'm looking forward to all your adventures. The house will wait for you. Time won't. 🌷🌷
Thanks Rhonda ❤️ wise words!
Im getting so excited for you! Also the retreat in Thailand looks so amazing!
Thanks so much 🥰🥰
If you visit south america, you have to go to Argentina definitely. Its my country and you can have a lot of offers in diferent provinces. mountains, lakes, glacier, waterfall, lovely food and wines. So cheapeast for you with pounds or dollars !
Thank you a lot for your amazing videos. Alex ☺
I would love to visit Argentina one day!
I love how you explain your thoughts as they happened! I plan my travels in a very similar too haha. I loved this catch up video :D
I’m leaving from Heathrow to start my WHV in Australia today… absolutely loved your channel in these past few planning months!
Wow amazing!! Safe travels, I'm heading there in march for my whv
Love this.
If you can Cuenca is THE place for Christmas in Ecuador, it has tons of parades and activities that begin mid-December and continue through the end of the year. Inter country flights are quite cheap and fast. Cuenca-Quito is about $50 USD.
Ohh thanks for the recommendation! That would actually work perfectly for me logistically 😅
When I went to Peru I used a service called Peru Hop to get around which i highly recommend. A Hop on and off service around Peru and also goes to Bolivia La Paz. You choose how long you stay in each destination and go from there. Some beautiful stops along the way but Peru is amazing! and I think it’s a great option.
There’s also Ecuador Hop (sister company) which I’ve also heard is decent.
Cool! Thanks for the recommendation ❤️
Yay excited for you! Thanks to you I’m heading out to Australia next year 🫶
Omg, you're going to be living my dream trip! Just before covid I'd planned to travel to Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia and wasn't able to go/went other places when things opened up as they were on the red list! I'm hopefully planning to go at the end of next year!Hope you have the best time, I'm going to be looking out for the videos!!
YES ! I’m going to Peru next May , first big travelling since 2016! Can’t wait to see what you get up to 🇵🇪
Amazing plans! You're so inspiring about travel and planning your trips!
I love your travel planning videos! I’m planning my year long trip around the world so it gives me so much inspiration 🥰
You are looking totally fabulous these days x Love it.
Peru was absolutely amazing, would definitely recommend! So much to do and the people/food are amazing
Would recommend booking your Inca Trail Hike soon because when I was there in July they said they're booked fully until end of October!
so excited
I'm so glad you're going to Peru. That is my trip for September 2023 but first I'm off in 2 months for Argentina & Antarctica.
No way! As someone who has family in Peru, it is such a lovely country to visit and a great place to practice your Spanish. Definitely recommend visiting Arequipa and the Colca Canyon which are between La Paz and Cusco. Also try literally all the food you can, it's some of the best in the world!
You must visit Uros Islands on Lake Titicaca. It’s an unknown gem near Puno in Peru. Enjoy! Andrea
If you go to Ecuador you also need to do The Galapagos so best to postpone it so you can have at least 2 weeks in the Galapagos.
I'm in Thailand in January and then heading to Queensland in Feb/March so I might see you there! Looking for to your videos on Peru. Heard good things.
I love the planning and omg the Thailand trip seems awesome I wish I could come
I'm still hoping that you are going to make a Thailand backpacking guide? Would love to see it and really hope that it is still coming!!!! Totally understand that you have a lot going on but I am visiting Thailand in Jan and it would be super helpful. Thanks!!
Yes it’s coming!! Sorry for the delay 😅😅
@@BackpackingBananas Wahoo! So glad that I am still holding out for this! Thank you!!!
Omg I’m starting my gap year in Peru and going to Ecuador in November!! This is perfect timing :))
Love Peru, didn’t get two months there but can totally recommend it. In terms of Cusco, if your looking for a balanced hostel with some party vibes but also work and chill vibes, Supertramp is the one. ( a bit of hike from center city to it but you did Pakistan so no worries)
Watching from the Philippines!
The diving in the Similan’s is incredible!
I can’t wait! 😍😍
Literally me everytime I start to plan a trip lolol can't wait to see the vlogs of Peru :)
We are all the same 😂😂
Dude, new years eve is awesome in Montañita, Ecuador. You have to go there.
Ooohh thanks for the recommendation!
@@BackpackingBananas yeah no problem, I’m from the States and I tend to visit South America here and there. Also, keep in mind that flying from Ecuador or Colombia to Miami(or Fort Lauderdale) is dirt cheap. You could get flights at about $100-$300 price range, but between December and January is holiday season, so prices are a little higher, February is cheap.
Hello...good night, nice to see your video...greetings from Indonesia.
Ahahahah I love how messy your process of choosing a destination is. Reminds me so much of how I end up with backpacking plans. Xx
Oh amazing, I can't wait to see videos from more South American countries! And also super excited for the Pakistan series 😍 The dive retreat sounds wonderful, I'd love to book that but as a fresh solopreneur/freelancer, I'll have to wait to get a more steady income before I book any (bigger) trips haha 😂
yay Peru! it's a great country, we loved it! 😁 Don't forget to buy Coca leaves and sorojchi pills for the altitude!
well well well we might end up meeting then, i'll be in Equator probably around January ^^
we should chat! I'm planning a south/central america trip coming up here, backpacking of course
Just throwing it out there but Peru hop is a really interesting option for travel around Peru. I have heard great things and honestly that would be my plan going to Peru.
My best friend and I just returned from traveling in Peru a month ago, and it was an amazing time! Peru is now my favorite country, because it’s astonishingly beautiful in every destination. My favorite part of our trip was staying a night on the floating islands of Puno (Uros)! I think people usually take a day trip, I recommend staying there overnight on the islands, the family who ran the place we stayed were very kind and helpful. Watching the sunset on Lake Titicaca was literally one of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen (though it was so so so cold when we were there in August, it was so nice)!
You are an inspiration!
I live in Melbourne and I have no idea what’s going on with flights at the moment, it’s so ridiculous 😭 I am from the UK and haven’t been home since before covid!
