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.

Absolutely amazing vlog! I am loving the day-to-day vlogs and seeing what you’re getting up to, so much fun!
Thank you 🥰 this was such a fun day!
Wow, wow, wow, I want to go back so badly. This island is stunning and the idea of renting bikes and cycling around the island looks amazing! The golden hour as you glided back down was all kinds of beautiful! Ayran is lovely, but great with a kebab! Really loving this Turkey series and excited to see where you go after Istanbul! ❤️
I just love cycling around islands - it feels so adventurous! Thanks lovely 🥰🥰
Ayran is great with baklava too. I know it sounds weird but actually great.
Walking or riding a bike are such good ways to really appreciate the scenery.
Wow, so beautiful! Thanks for the bike tour, what a wonderful island. I'd love to check it out when I go back. So helpful you vids!
Such a nice vlog! Beautiful island and fun times with Jeremy! Thanks for sharing 😊
❤️❤️❤️
Istanbul..Amazing city and your vlog showed us so many beautiful places. never had I thought it's so interesting. Great vlog..!!
Thanks Carlos! I was amazed at how diverse the city was!
OMG 100 lira to rent a bike for the whole day? I only paid 25 lira per bike and that in the high session. Never buy or rent anything in the first row. In the third row or in the side streets is everything always 1/4 cheaper. In the side streets there are also signs with 25 lira rent all day. You don't have to bargain anymore :) but nevertheless the island is mega... enjoy your time in turkey especially the turkish traditional breakfast called "van kahvaltisi" is a dream.
Such a good video! Thanks for sharing this great city.
Thank you 🥰 always a pleasure!
You've been killing it recently!! Great work
Thanks Celine 🥰🥰
Great vlog wonderful Christie!!! 💖 Looks like you had a fun day on the island!
Thanks Sean! It was a super fun day out!
*Loved this* 😍 It's been 6 years since I visited Adalar and it's interesting to see how little has changed since I was there in 2015. *Great job as always Christianne* 😎👌
Also at 14:59 I think you're looking for the word *_circumnavigate_* right ?
Yes!! Circumnavigate!! That’s the word I was after 😅😅
I totally need to visit Istanbul/turkey at some point! Great video!
This lady does what I would do without tiring every second of my life.GO Girl
🥳🥳🥳
Whilst you had a hiccup with the last ferry that does present the REAL issues that travel can present. Great job, enjoying your trip along with you.
Very true! Adventures certainly do not always run smoothly
I am loving this channel, first actual authentic backpack vlogger I have ever seen
A banana, coffee, and a backpacking banana are a great start to the day. It looks like you had fun * circumnavigating * the island. Istanbul is quite interesting…
That’s exactly how I hope people enjoy my vids 😅 a coffee ☕️ and a banana 🍌
Circumnavigate is indeed the word I was looking for!!
I’m glad you guys enjoying your trip to Turkey it’s amazing video❤
Mackinac Island in Michigan is an small island with no vehicles except emergency vehicles, 1 of each.
My husband and I went there for our Anniversary 2 yrs ago for 5days. It was so pleasant and relaxing!
I enjoy watching your videos. I have been to many of the places that you have covered in Turkey. Thankyou for your professional videos that make me realise what I have been missing and also give me the drive to get abroad again soon. Keep up the good work
I am always so glad I found your channel. I hope I can travel even half as much as you do one day. I'm working on finding a remote job and building out a van currently. Fingers crossed I can get to 50 countries before I die. Anyway, thank you for being you. You're one of the most fun travel channels I've found.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment 🥰🥰 that sounds like a great plan! Finding a job where you can work remotely opens the door to so many possibilities! Good luck 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@BackpackingBananas Thank you! 💜😊
Love your videos, Christianne! 🥰
Thanks Mila ❤️😊
Jeremy must miss you as you’re a ton of fun and super funny! In this vlog alone-you often pleasantly surprised him w your humor.
Ayran is excellent for gut heath. Ayran is made from yogurt. Kefir made with milk.
I am new to your channel and am really enjoying you and your vlogs! Thanks!
I spent 3 months in Antalya, Turkey last year. Its incredibly beautiful!
Safe travels!
Hi Christianne
It’s great to see you travelling again. Hopefully I will be able to travel next year to the Philippines to see my family as I have not seen them since 2019. Great videos. Stay safe
Hi Mark, oh I hope that can happen for you too 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 the world needs to be reunited again
Are you back in the UK now?
@@markandrews7715 nope, I am in Egypt right now
Just reminded 7years ago I was here because my friend lived! Such a beautiful island!!
Princes Island looks lovely! "Too bad" you had you could only get the whole bottle of wine 😂
16:28 to 16:44 was amazing footage of those women on the boat great colors it looked like a WES ANDERSON FILM!
Enjoyed this video. Thx!! 😊😊
native turk here, love your blatant honesty about the country without sugarcoating every single shenanigan. come back soon!
Cristianne always finds the best looking guys!😍😝
I can’t disagree with you there 😅😋
Obsessed with your videos 😍
Thank you 🥰🥰
Hey, loved the video... and welcome to my country 😊🙏❤
Loved this video, editing seems to be really on point.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 If you've done a Cappadocia video, any chance you could publish it now....I'm arriving there tomorrow from Istanbul! 😂😂
Haha I have filmed a cappadocia video but it was my lost stop on my trip so it will be up in a few weeks 😅 hope you have an incredible time!
@@BackpackingBananas Well thanks for nothing! 😉😂😂 Haha. Looking forward to seeing it regardless. 😊
As long as the weather holds out for my balloon tour I'll be happy.
Enjoy the rest of your trip. (if you're not back already)
@@leechafertravels all ya need is one day of good weather 🙏🏼🙏🏼 fingers crossed for you!
Ready lovey this video. So much. Beautiful country have not see. Thank so much to beautiful video beautiful 😍🎒🎒🎒
Thanks Maria 🥰🥰 this was a super fun vlog to film
I soooo just missed traveling. 🧡
Turkish is just amazing wonderful country 🇹🇷🇹🇷😊🥰✈️
Love the ayran went to other islands as cannot manage the uphill..looks amazing
You’re an ayran fan too?! Jeremy will be thrilled to hear that 😅
@@BackpackingBananas 😅😅😅
Try the sahlep made from orchid roots ..it s a winter drink!! 😁
@@lbunnygordon1133 I will have a look out for it next time!
6:30 much appreciated
Wow, this place looks unreal!! I wonder if there is accommodation on the islands as it might be nice to explore at a more leisurely place. I'm not sure I could handle tackling all those hills on a bike within a few hours!! 😅
Yess there is lots of accommodation options on the islands 😊
Adorable video! When you go on day trips like this, what do you do with your big travel bag when it’s not with you when staying at a hostel? Or do you keep it with you when staying more than one night at the same hostel?
I always keep my big back at the hostel when I go on day trips 😊 I’ll leave it by my bed and any valuables, I’ll put in my locker
Great video
Jeremy is so cute haha!
I'm ready for him to be her new backpacking boyfriend. Ha!
He is quite adorable 🥰
Lovely
Haha so funy !!
Hi there! Am planning to make a trip to turkey, however i cant decide on which of the island to go on....can you tell which part or side of byukada were you on in this video? I head you say sunset side however just to be sure of the direction
Nice video bdw!
Amazing loved the vlog 😍. I have a question, do u think it takes a whole day to visit princess island?
A whole day is recommended yet, because it takes almost 2 hours of travel each way!
Lovely video as always you look good together sorry cant help but 🚢👀💕😉
You have been in Istanbul for some time, just buy an Istanbul card and sync it with your HES codes, you dont need to get ticket everytime and tickets are much more expensive. Cheers.
If I were still there, I’d get one for sure!
I will definitely try the same .
love this series 😍 how did you and Jeremy meet?
Thanks 🥰 we met on the hostel bar crawl in Istanbul 😅
4:44 “we are feet” I like Jeremy’s accent haha
Feet, fit, same same 😂
Looks amazing! Random question- which knickers do you buy which are seemless and can wear with any type of clothing? Especially tight clothing such as the shorts so it doesn't have a VPL?! but also good quality? Thanks 😊
I love the Victoria secret thongs 😊 I don’t know the name of the exact style but they are like this stretchy sporty material
Thank you! Are these the only ones you'd recommend? Definitely on my boxing day shopping list☺
Hey Christianne, what is the name of the song at 14:00? I Can't find it with shazam 😢
😍😍😍🇹🇷
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow i would to meet you guys
'ayran is milk and cheese'. well, not really 🙂 it is actually a good combination of yogurt, water and salt. but it is more than just a simple mixture of the ingridients.
How long did it end up taking you guys to get around the island?
About 2-3 hours of cycling 😊
deli delidir ne yapsa yeridir.
Don't get me wrong, things are not cheap in Turkey. It seems cheap to tourists because of the currency rate and devaluation of Turkish lira in recent years. I think everything looks cheap to you so you are not looking for alternatives. For example, 32 lira for a ferry ticket is quite expensive it is 32 lira bc it is run by a private company. You could have bought a return ticket for 10.40 lira from the city-owned ferry and the last ferry is leaving the island on 23.55 Same for a rental bike, 100 lira is expensive for that bike, I'm sure if you looked other stores you could have found a decent quality bike with a cheaper price.
I mean, of course, money is yours and you can spend whatever you want but because it seems cheap to you it doesn't mean it should have bad quality. Also, it is doesn't mean that it always has good quality if it is expensive. Prices and quality of services or products vary a lot in Istanbul. I lived in Istanbul for years and when I go there I still ask for advice( best places, price, taste)
Note: I wrote this not only based on this video but in general I have seen that many tourists/backpackers had experience similar things.
All the best!
For sure, I know you’re correct there! It would be amazing if someone like you could make a RUclips video on how to get those cheaper prices like where to access the city ferry etc - I’m sure a lot of people would be interested 😊
You gotta let a bit the locals of the country that you are visiting make their living as well.selfishness and boastfulness should not be disregarded by you.sorry to say that to you .whilst you are filming on these issues more carefully so that you would not offend the people of the country that you are visiting
Funny Vlog again and AYRAN is a Yoghurt drink ,,,its only Yoghurt & Water & Salt thats it ... taste is only change when you have a Yoghurt from Cow or Goat or Sheep thats it ;)
Ahh interesting! I didn’t know that! 😅 that makes it sound a bit healthier haha
Hi
Do they have child chair for bikes ?
What do you film with, a go pro?
Yes! This vlog was mostly filmed with a GoPro Hero 9 😊 A few iPhone clips in there as well
did you have to give them your passport as collateral for bikes? what do you do in this situation?
I think one of us gave them our drivers license for the day 😊
Ayran is honestly the best drink ;D So refreshing asp if you're not feeling like drinking sth sweet
I just can’t be on board 😂 but Jeremy will be thrilled you’re also in the Ayran fanclub!
You will be back in the UK for Christmas?
I wanted to ask will you go to the Philippines again?
I will be back in the UK for Christmas yes! I would love to revisit the Philippines one day but I have no idea when
@@BackpackingBananas Hi Christianne
Did you hear about the super typhoon in the Philippines? It hit yesterday I was so worried about my family because it hit there island
you could take another boat from bostaci to karakoy lol
Is thiere any cheap hostel in the island 🏝 princes?
which apple watch model do you have? it s very nice! thank you
Series 6 😊❤️
Might visit in 2023 and have enough time to learn how to ride a bike 😂
Circumnavigate! 😁
Circumnavigate is the word you were looking for 😉
Yesss that’s the one! 🛎🛎🛎
You saved me posting this lol
😎👍🇦🇺
🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Religious you are meant to walk bare foot up the hill to the church. Up until last year, you was not allowed to take the bikes up after a certain point
I was on a horse carriage and i petted all the ponys
Bisiklet kiralayan abiyi Turizm bakanı yapalım:))))
Nice place, well worth sharing. Easy biking around the islands here, esp Buyukada, Heybeliada. Unfortunately video here a lot of selfies instead. Hard to understand why, sorry.
I recommend channels like the National Geographic if you are interested in more scenery, less face 😅 this channel is about me and my travels so it’s what you get 💁🏼♀️
The location tag is "Instanbul" instead of "Istanbul" :'( at 0:02
although it is "Insta"-able
Wooops 😊
15:04 circumnavigate maybe ?
That’s the one!
to cruize the island sir.
circumnavigate 😆
That’s the one! 😅
*me yelling at the screen* CIRCUMNAGIVATE
If only I could’ve heard you in the video 😅
23 yaşındayım daha ben gidemedim adalara
circumnavigate? 😛
Hello Cheristinne , I hope you doing well I love you so much and I am always watching your videos 😄❤️. When I saw you visited the mosque I said to myself “oh I hope she being a muslim 😔” coz islam is a great thing and the truth, I love you and I want you being in the true way which is islam ❤️❤️ Just Read about it and how many people feel after they become a muslim. ❤️ BIG LOVE 💗
Leave out the religion lad
Thanks Budoor ☺️ I’m thrilled for people who are happy in their religion whatever that may be 🙏🏼 Personally I’m very content not having any religion in my life at the moment. It’s a nice thought to think that everyone religious or non-religious can live amongst each other in harmony 😊
@@BackpackingBananas Ok it’s your choice 👍🏼
@@joshcoyne2983 At least I want she to be in the true way🤷🏻♀️😏
Don’t mind me, just an American who realized you rented that bike for less than $7 for the whole day and is now crying over how expensive her own country is
100 liras for a day is crazy expensive. Be aware that the minimum wage is about 2825 liras here. Normally as a local the maximum price they would be able to charge you is 50 liras for a day. In the southern towns you can even find bikes for 15 liras a day.
Min wage 350 dolar
Do not and I repeat do not ride bikes there are about 800 hills just walk my legs hurt
🍌
Ayran with wine 🤢🤢🤢 Jeremy has issues sorry not sorry :(
😂😂 I don’t think he’s washing one down with the other hahaha
Don't they have a dress code for women there? Modesty is a virtue.
Yes, please insult the beautiful country and the people living in it :)
And delete all the comments that mentions this situation as well, because it is better to ignore than to acknowledge, right?
I have been subscribed to your channel for years, but not anymore after this video. Hope you learn to respect and not insult the countries you are "appreciating" in your videos.
What happened that was insulting?
I second that question from Mikaela, please can you expand on what you found insulting? I don’t believe I said anything insulting at all and if it came across that way, it absolutely wouldn’t have been the intention.
I also haven’t deleted any comments so I really don’t know what you’re suggesting 🙃
@@BackpackingBananas I think he is referring to 12:04 I noticed it, too.
@@abditekin9245 ah, I see. Misinterpretation of what I was insinuating it seems 😊 when things come at cheap prices (like everything does in Turkey - which is amazing) I can’t possibly expect the high quality equipment. I didn’t think that one would need explaining but thanks for the feedback, I will try and word things more clearly next time.
@@BackpackingBananas I think that’s nitpicking but hey! Some people are super passionate about their country
