  • BACKPACKING THAILAND 🇹🇭 EPISODE 21 📍KOH LIPE
    I made it to Thailand's most southern island - Koh Lipe! This isn't a super popular one on the backpacker trail (probably because of how far away it is) but I was super keen to make the special effort to visit as I had heard how beautiful is was. With my friend Sean, we got a long tail boat to the neighbouring island of Koh Adang to hike to mountain and get an amazing view of Koh Lipe. We also did some scuba diving at 8 mile rocks which was incredible - my favourite dive that I have done in Thailand so far! We stayed in a dorm room at The Chic Lipe boutique luxury hostel. Next stop - Railay!

    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.

    Out of all of the friends you've met and/or brought along with you on your trips, I have to say Sean, Cole, and Karen are my favorites. They all seem super open to adventure, much like yourself, and the best sort of people to bring along on an adventure. I hope you'll be able to travel with Sean again sometime.

    you are such a good diver and so much interest in diving. You arranged all the things that needed for diving like diving computer, glasses, go pro to record the diving and so on. You showed the marine life underneath the water. It is so amazing to see it and you are a hard worker too doing the work while eating that means how good you are at your work and dedication to your work as well as travelling. Keep vlogging and have a wonderful tours around the world.

Wasn't too bad to be stuck at such a beautiful place tough. Smoked some joints and had some beers with the border patrol officers while banging on drums and random other instruments. Good fun :)

      This is the type of travel I'm interested in, so I really enjoy following her journey. I highly recommend watching some of her other trips. She is not afraid to go out and learn something new or explore a place off the beaten path. While to me most travel vloggers are like "here's the most popular city in this country and a couple popular things to do here. okay next place." She spends months in a country and makes all sorts of friends. She also doesn't typically stay in resorts or pricy air bnbs unless she is with a group, so you get the actual backpacker experience that not a lot of travel channels offer. Sorry this is long.

    Due to its tiny size and geographic isolation, Koh Lipe is much lesser known than its popular brothers and sisters. But it's this sense of mystery that makes Koh Lipe worth visiting. It may be a bit more tricky to get to, but a visit to this tiny Thai island is well worth the effort.

      As long as you have the means and feel physically fit enough to backpack, you can backpack. The older you are, the less likely it is that you'll find people with a similar lifestyle in your age range, but that shouldn't deter people from doing it (in my opinion). It just means the friends you make might be younger by quite a bit, but again, that shouldn't be a reason not to do it.
