BACKPACKING SURFERS PARADISE 🇦🇺 Bunk Hostel + Wet'n'Wild

Backpacking Australia East Coast 🇦🇺 Episode 2 📍Surfers Paradise
My 2nd stop on the Greyhound bus was Surfers Paradise where I stayed 3 nights in Bunk Hostel. I laid by the beach, went on a night out and spent a day at Wet'n'Wild! This is not my fave place on the East Coast but it was fun to visit.

ABOUT ME🙋🏻‍♀️
I'm Christianne, a solo traveller, vlogger and entrepeneur from Surrey, UK.

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.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.

Thank you.

You have forgot one very important thing with surfers paradise. Schoolies is definitely a place well try to avoid due to the amount of school kids who swarm there to celebrate finishing high school. Schoolies week is held at the end of November each year. It usually spreads over multiple weeks due to some states and schools finishing their school semester at different times. Queensland school leavers celebrate schoolies first, with NSW and Victoria then being spread over the following 2 weeks.

Waterpark sound so much fun.

[@billmccaleb7481]

That looked like a great time! Lots of fun! I agree that it is very similar to Miami, and quite a few tourist cities in Florida as well. I'm looking forward to the other videos as I would love to go to Australia!

[@rebeccac4493]

I started following you almost 4 years ago before I went on my trip up the east coast! Now you seem to be doing a VERY similar trip. So far, you’ve stayed in the same hostels I did! Very much enjoying the nostalgia. Have a wonderful trip!

[@n6885667]

How do you survive without sunglasses? 😮

[@seandesmond5560]

Great vlog wonderful Christie!!! 💖💖

[@joshirymc8556]

So interesting watching you explore my home!

[@haxter3]

Awesome video Christianne 😊👍👍

[@VSS32542]

❤ I love watching you having fun ❤

[@Lee02065]

Can I just say that your editing is incredible! Wowow I feel like I’m watching a reality tv show 🔥🔥 love it

[@sunshinemindset8497]

Fab video as always Christianne 😊❤

[@LeahAlareebi]

This takes me back to my childhood, I need to go 😭

[@Daydreameruk]

Love the more bitsy vlogs.

[@MillaExplores]

Oh I love a good water park haha! The hostel prices in Australia are so high but I don't know what else I'd expect 😂

[@everydaysaschool-day7517]

Ah, the surfing fear. I get it. I got that too. Remember, the best surfer is the on who is having the most fun. Who cares what board you ride or if you choose a foam board 🏄‍♀️

[@TheShauNanigans]

This is the case with all sports involving wheels in my opinion.

[@anabaltazar7845]

Wet n Wild looks so fun! Next time you need to go to the other parks 😉

[@Alfredosolotravels]

I love that you still use hostel bunks even though you can afford regular rooms. True backpacker

[@myronn.menezes]

how do know she can afford regular rooms?

[@Alfredosolotravels]

@@myronn.menezes she has a successful KZbin channel

[@TheShauNanigans]

@@myronn.menezes She has gotten them before, but it is usually in countries where hotel or private rooms are affordable. They are certainly less affordable in countries like Australia. She got a lot of private rooms when she went to Thailand, for example.

[@markreed9853]

Strange, my sisters from Bribane but is back here in the UK at the moment. When I visited I did a surf and scuba lesson at the north of end of Surfers.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Nice ☺️

[@markreed9853]

@@BackpackingBananas I did a tour of Australia back in the 90s and drove from Adelaide to Brisbane in a Campervan. Then I flew to Cairns, then Darwin then home. Amazing country just a bit expensive 😬

[@chalermchaiwattanawongpitu5365]

Hi! Christie.

[@trevorwilson2966]

Hi you do know the bus station in Surfers was the bus station in the inbetweeners movie?

[@hanb2173]

Oh wow this was Feb, quite a while ago, was going to say because you are in a shirt and it’s too cold now 😂 surfers paradise is for the retired or young party m goers, Noosa is definitely a better travel surf location

[@khkk1999]

Hi , would you recommend going to surfers paradise for a weekend. land on friday and fly back on monday. the most i can get is 4 days off from work. I am in melbourne. Thanks

[@BackpackingBananas]

I don’t personally think I’d pick Surfers Paradise as my first choice. I think there is more to do in Byron Bay or Fraser Island.

[@sonny585]

Are you coming down to Sydney?

[@user-ig8zv5vs8g]

❤😅😢

[@femkeisondernemendonderweg]

I'm so curious to see your vlogs from Brisbane! I went to Australia last september/october (after preiring myself with your old video's!) but abolutely hated Brisbane :') Partly because of the hostel, but also because I didn't feel safe nor clean in the city. Then I also got sick and had to spend 50% of my time there in my bunk lol. So I can't wait to still "enjoy" Brizzy through your vlogs

[@BackpackingBananas]

Oh no 🥲🥲 I had a really nice time there but I TOTALLY appreciate how enjoyment factor of destinations can be affected by things like bad accommodation and illness 😭 (and the weather!!)

[@valak3374]

Hello sister is victoria state similar to uk landscapes and climate ??? I would like to know??

[@BackpackingBananas]

Victoria is a bit warmer than the UK. The landscapes are more vast also. But I guess Melbourne feels most similar to London out of all the Australian cities.

[@yureituesday]

I thought you were in Miami

[@ashertan2752]

Hello! Do you mind sharing the bunk hostel’s name that you stayed at? 😊

[@BackpackingBananas]

It’s called ‘Bunk’ 😅 literally, that’s it haha

[@ashertan2752]

haha love it 😂 Thank you for this & thank you for all the contents, we appreciate it!! 🤩@@BackpackingBananas

[@furkanmermer5633]

Great video. I don't know if it is caused by a rendering issue but video quality is really poor.

Nice milkies. 😊
