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.

Can I just say I love so much that you're still backpacking and haven't gone the luxury travel route? Your content is so much more inspirational and approachable for it.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks so much Anna 🥰 I still love backpacking just as much as I did on day 1!

[@ronaldoago-go5907]

She'd have to change the name to bougie bananas.. lol

[@Jazzvibesicl]

I love your videos so much, your channel has changed my life, I’m 18 just finished alevels and was about to go down the uni route that would have made me so miserable. Thanks to you I have the confidence to go and travel for the foreseeable future. I’m currently in Kazakhstan! Then Uzbekistan. I have a volunteer thing scheduled for Croatia, I’m volunteering at my local wildlife park over winter, and then going to India. Also have ideas for Albania, Germany, and maybe New Zealand. Thank you so much for showing us your life❤️

[@BackpackingBananas]

That is so awesome! 🥰 I’m proud of you 🥲🥲

[@ronaldoago-go5907]

Wow! Go, mouse girl...should be called tiger girl!

[@navn]

Wow, way to go Mouse Girl! Wish I hadn't been so caught up in what society told me I was supposed to do at that age.

[@WhenAdventureKnox]

That woman!!! 🤣 I'm dying of laughter - love travel moments like that!! The swim spots around this place were just amazing but I was so worried about one of you stacking it on the moss on the rocks at the 2nd place.

[@BackpackingBananas]

😂😂 so many possibilities to absolutely stack it across this town haha

[@lisamahoney4344]

Christianne, I literally never comment on KZbin videos but thought it was time I commented on one of yours as I’ve watched almost all of them and love them so much. I used to be a KZbinr back in the day (started a channel called Travel Sassy back in 2015 which took off fairly quickly but I ended up quitting as it wasn’t for me) and you’re the only travel KZbin lot I’ve continued to watch. You just seem like a lovely straightforward girl and someone I would be friends with in real life, and I think that’s why your channel is so popular. I finished work today and sat down with a glass of wine to watch your latest video and it’s just the best escapism and made me smile a lot. So THANK YOU for being you and for continuing to produce content that makes us all smile, even in the darkest of time (your Mexico videos in lockdown were a god send). Keep doing what you’re doing and hope we get to meet someday! X

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thank you Lisa 🥹 this comment means so much 🥰🥰🥰

[@Charlies1Lyf]

Dulce REALLY seemed to "come out of her shell" in this vid. And Corne seemed like a great host.

[@MillaExplores]

I loved this little volunteering series, really inspiring! 😍 This is such a great way to explore, meet new people, and practice a language while doing good at the same time ☺

[@raymonortiz3084]

That was a wonderful video and experience you did in Spain, Christianne. It's amazing that you can go from the modern world (like London or New York) to a more basic and simpler world in this day and age. And that these two worlds exist in the present at the same time. Thanks for sharing it with us. 🥰👍

[@filibusterfirework74]

Oh my gosh I really hope someone can contribute a full breakdown of what happens in cornes convo with that woman. I’m dying 😂

[@BackpackingBananas]

Calling all Spanish natives in the comments 😅📣

[@bfunirfeyh5822]

Dear god you have an incredible vibe. I’ve just been dumped and your videos are so comforting. Inspired me to sign up to workaway

[@BANGTEEZ_IN_YOUR_AREA]

Been waiting ALL WEEK for a notification, so happy!!! Just LOVE your style of vlogging and editing 🙌🏾

[@BackpackingBananas]

Yayyy! Thanks so much 🥰🥰

[@TheFairestMan]

She's so lovely and Beautiful I'd treat Kristi like a princess for ever .. be a proper upmarket gentleman to her

[@billmccaleb7481]

What a great morning for me...coffee and a new Backpacking Bananas video! A great way to wake up! That is a very cute town and the surroundings seem great too. I love Spain and the ciestas! I would definitely partake in the napping...

[@BackpackingBananas]

Yay thanks Bill! Thank god for siestas 😎😎

[@chloecaddamy3668]

Your videos are so wholesome!! I’ve loved watching your videos for years, one of my favourite travel KZbinrs I get excited every time you upload and your one of the reasons I’m travelling now!! Xx

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thank you so much Chloe ❤️❤️ this comment means so much xx

[@Charlies1Lyf]

You've put Worldpackers on my research list. I have looked at Habitat for Humanity trips, but this seems to be a great option to travel AND "give back". GREAT Vid Series!

[@WhiteSamsara]

Amazing videos thank you for sharing.

[@liapenny]

Dulce has very impressive climbing moves! 💪

[@bethmeredith]

I absolutely enjoyed the Spain volunteering videos. Thanks so much! Beautiful location. xx

[@ixlikextox69x]

I love your videos! I’m on my bf’s account and I’ve never commented before but I truly love watching your old and new videos, you’re inspiring! I will making my way around Europe May/June 2023 and I’m living through you till then!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thank you so much 🥰🥰

Hi Christianne!! I'm from Japan! I love your video so much! I wanna go to trip like you. Thanks for making and posting amazing videos. by the way I like your Kyoto T-shirt lol. Take care!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks so much 🥰🥰 I’d love to visit Japan one day!

[@Jamie_Does_Life]

Another brilliant video, thanks so much for sharing

[@chriscwtine]

This might be my favorite video on your channel! What an amazing experience!!! 😍

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks so much for watching Christine, glad you enjoyed ♥️

[@everydaysaschool-day7517]

What an absolutely stunning place!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Isn’t it just 😍

[@adammcgrath9252]

Love the channel! You should do a video ranking your favourite countries and also possibly least favourite!!!

[@seandesmond5560]

Great vlog wonderful Christie!!! 💖 Looks like you had an amazing experience!!!

[@faizad6758]

Love it!! 🙌

[@BackpackingBananas]

❤️❤️❤️

[@ootenba5910]

Your channel is awesome! Radiating 🥰💛

[@xiomaraserradilla.8695]

it's so funny to se you all confuseddd by the old woman. Here in Spain people who live in villages, specially old people have that way of talking and it's hard to understand even for people who speak spanish but are not from spain, like Dulce.

[@rozstap]

Where is Dulce from?

You pronounce Corné's name so well you could be Afrikaans yourself. You'll have to come visit us in SA sometime. Love your channel, cant wait for it every time

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks so much!! I’d love to visit SA one day 😍😍

[@eben6787]

@@BackpackingBananas please do and feel free to reach out if you need contacts or a pickup at the airport. SA is more difficult to navigate than most countries due to so few public transportation options.

[@NASAvideos355]

What is your next destination 😍

[@KOTDM1988]

I've got your volunteering site saved for next year when I leave my job... Maybe you'll have another code available by then 😅

[@BackpackingBananas]

I hope the same code will still be available then 😅🙏🏼

How did you learn to speak Spanish so well?

[@BackpackingBananas]

I took online zoom classes for 10 hours a week during lockdown in 2020! It was the BEST thing to help me improve

[@ronaldoago-go5907]

Also recommend cd,s or tapes.. learn while driving

[@charmainemarievallecera1859]

You almost sound like a native 🥰

[@BackpackingBananas]

Aw thank you, that’s so sweet! 🥰
