This week I'm in Spain! I have been volunteering on a farm in a little town called Letur in Castilla-La-Mancha. I got the job through Worldpackers and in exchange for my volunteer work, I get free food and accommodation. I chose this job because I'd never done anything like it before and I also thought it would be a great opportunity to practice my Spanish.

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 KZbin 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.

IMO, this is THE way to travel. For a year and a half I traveled through Central and South America doing “WorkAway” (similar to Worldpackers) and what’s funny is when I came to Bolivia to volunteer on a farm, I fell in love with the host and we are now together for over a year hosting people from all over the world to learn all things permaculture. It’s so enriching to see how impacted people are when coming here just as I felt while traveling and volunteering. Happy to finally see you jumping into this way of travel!

[@BackpackingBananas]

I completely agree, it gives you a completely new perspective on things. I'm glad you enjoyed your experience. 🤗

[@mikedouglass643]

I can weld an do electrician work. I'd like the culture experience.

[@LaurenCotter]

Just wanted to say thank you soooo much for creating this video! I'd never heard of world packers before and 24 hours after watching this I'm now travelling solo to Estonia in December to film content for an eco forest lodge! Haha! Also, cheers for the discount code much appreciated 🙌💝

[@BackpackingBananas]

Omg that’s awesome 😍😍 congrats on getting the job!!

[@itsevelinakp]

I hope you'll enjoy Estonia!! Im from Latvia (its next to EST), have a good time there

[@TheFunnyCamGuy]

What thats awesome! I didn't know worldpackers had filming/video volunteer work on there. Thats soo up my alley!

[@MusaSowe-kh6mb]

Hi​@@BackpackingBananas

[@elissaanntorres9123]

AMAZING! I found your channel last month when I started planning my backpacking trip starting in Croatia, Montenegro, Albania and ending Greece for the end of September and I am always so eager to watch your videos. I just love how you choose opportunities that take you outside of your comfort zone, while still being safe and connecting with new people and cultures. If there's one thing I've consistently noticed from your videos it's that you aren't afraid of a challenge and you are so respectful. Sending love from SF. ❤

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks so much for your sweet words Elissa! You have such an exciting trip ahead 🤗

[@massimoremis9745]

Wow Elissa ....brava! Io sono andato in Liguria nella vecchia ferrovia tra Andora e Imperia a pulire , a togliere tutte le bottiglie di plastica Love you guys Ciao

[@shemargoinss]

I love how you’ve made this like a tv show. If that makes sense. It’s very refreshing. Love it ❤

[@yvonneandbeyond]

I loved this one!!! Would love to see any more Worldpacker's trips that you get to do. Seems like the ideal way to slow travel and "immerse" yourself as you said. :)

[@BackpackingBananas]

It Definitely is! Yes - there will be one more vlog to come from Spain :)

[@john87442]

Wow that view from the window at 17:09 is amazing might have to go to this little place next month

[@MetalMario137]

Thank you for sharing this. I am planning a long 3 - 6 month adventure for myself. To learn the ways of homesteading, as part of my mission. To be independent for all that is important. As well as spreading knowledge of woodworking blacksmithing so that people may also thrive. And find those that resonate. Seeing an attractive lady like yourself also gives me some hope that perhaps (maybe) I find a partner on the journey. Thank you.

[@rgmm8888]

I love this idea. I'm going to share with my niece. She's 18 just graduated and really wants to travel. 🌺🌼🌺

[@carlabottazzi]

I love the fact that the half of this video is in Spanish 🤩🤩 "es el único, no lo pierdas" 😂😂😂

[@BackpackingBananas]

[@crushonyunho947]

Incredible! I just came across to this amazing video. Its kinda sad that im not earlier here. But your video is truly inspiring for me whos afraid to out of the comfort zone. I want to do the same thing as you once I graduated my college. Thank you for the beautiful video!

[@dulcegrosso2816]

Nice work Christi! How nice to remember an adventure through a video. Thank you! ✨💜 I look forward to the second one with all the draaaama and action of Letur hahaha or perhaps better not... 😏 Abrazo 😚

[@BackpackingBananas]

Hahahaa the ✨drama✨ 😂😂

[@marmoth9786]

despite one week sounding like a very short time for a trip like this, it looks amazing! that view!!

[@raymonortiz3084]

Hi Christianne! I saw the photos you posted earlier on IG and I've been eagerly anticipating your Spain travel video since. The town and countryside are just beautiful! Your accommodations remind me of the old house I grew up in. So glad you posted this! 😄👍

[@BackpackingBananas]

Yay! Thank you SO much for your lovely words! There's still one more Spain vlog to come so keep an eye out! 😊

I actually borrowed them from Corné!

I will come with you in Albania 🇦🇱 Me gustaria muchisimo

[@wanderlustybanana]

what is the microphone you're using? can it attach to the camera? ALSO LOVE YOUR ADVICE! I'm on my third year working holiday now in Australia and now too old for other work visas so I'm excited to try worldpackers! PS I found your channel because I dress up like a banana and travel and do silly videos and I want to create a travel blog. i'm thinking of names like banana travel or something and I found your channel (Just to make sure I don't share a name with another person who's already doing it :D )

[@Alux804]

Curioso yo practico mi ingles con tus videos y tu intentas practicar mi legua madre. Un saludo desde mexico.

[@Amanda-eq5tu]

Amei demais! Incrível!

[@petapumpkin1219]

This sounds like so much fun!! Since it's 'volunteering' can you do this using visa-free short stay travels or would you need a work visa?

[@BackpackingBananas]

You dont need a work visa ☺️🙌🏼

[@forextradingsignals2022]

Hi dear friend I recently got acquainted with this program The only cost that is necessary is to pay an amount for the reservation at the beginning of the work, right? Does it cost anything anymore?

[@gabrielmolina4348]

Hahahha NO LO PIERDAS buenisimo

[@BackpackingBananas]

😅😅

[@AnnaJoan]

can you see if you'll be with other volunteers when applying?

[@BackpackingBananas]

You could always ask your host ☺️

[@mariasophie97]

Hi! Thank you so much for doing these videos, I really want to start volunteering too so this is very helpful 😊 can I ask you if the hosting activity decides for how long are you going to stay there or maybe there is an amount of time where you can choose from like 2 weeks, a month etc?

[@rootedro]

Was literally just thinking about doing a worldpackers trip then I saw this video!!!! How far ahead can you plan these?

[@BackpackingBananas]

Oh great timing! I applied about 1-2 months in advance but it could totally be possible to find more immediate jobs as well 😊

[@CcccYyy979]

Más linda hablando en español 🙊🥰

My ex girlfriend does this and she loved it.she said not all are the best but nothing in life is perfect but this is pretty close lol

Question :) do you ask if you can record?I´m travel nomad and I don´t do more content because I don´t want to disturb(Portuguese culture mind). Thanks keep travelling. Saludos

[@BackpackingBananas]

Yes I do ask beforehand ☺️

[@monikasebtravel]

Hi, thanks for your video. I am thinking of this type of work. Could you please confirm how many hours a day you worked over there and how many days a week? Thanks ❤️

[@tugceerylmaz9922]

Hello, thank you for the lovely video, so helpful 👍🏻❤️. I have a question. As a woman on period times, how do you cope with travelling or with this kind of work? I love travelling and volunteering but my period times killing me and it is impossible for me to travel or work like that. This prevents me to do things. Would you recommend anything?🌸💗

[@TammyTravelsTheWorld]

Respectfully, if your periods are that bad I'd recommend you see a doctor.

[@brunobris]

When are coming to Uganda? 😊

[@aitormolinerobozas-urrutia2465]

Come on! You are volunteering with an argentinian woman. In the next video try speak in spanish with each other and put subtitles in english. If you have the chance visit "el nacimiento del rio mundo" in Riopar, you will be surprised

[@BackpackingBananas]

I couldn’t understand Dulce’s accent unfortunately 😂😂 I really did try, my Spanish isn’t that good yet

[@freelancekate8919]

do you need to get a work visa to do this?

[@BackpackingBananas]

Nope ☺️

[@mr.anonymous5950]

Tourist visa ?

[@SherelleWallace]

Hello. I just found your channel, and this question is one of the things I don't feel comfortable with. The work\tourist visa. In The Bahamas, no money exchanges, but accommodation and meals are compensation; therefore a work visa is required. Any government approvals that you can verify this type of travel is legal?

[@kimcusters5011]

Which visa do you need a for Australia if you want to volunteer?

[@sophlizmay]

Amazing! How far in advance did you book?

[@BackpackingBananas]

A month or two ☺️
