I’m planning to travel South East Asia for 6 months and this video is very helpful. I travalled Costa Rica as a broke backpacker but I want to save up more this time because I want to have more flexibility and to be able to help the local economy😌

[@SerenaJayne]

So happy for you!! Safe travels!

Planning on doing a gap year after college just to travel, but also traveling during college and the last year of high school. I just discovered your channel and am excited to see another young solo travel lady on YT! 😊

Thanks Serena, great video. I'm just starting to plan my gap year :)

[@SerenaJayne]

Thank you!! Hope you have a great year!!

[@chelseanna5305]

Such a great video! So sad to hear that you had to cut your travels short. I think I'm going to be taking a travel gap year this year as I love to travel, where was your favourite place that you visited? x

[@SerenaJayne]

I really loved the Philippines, Bolivia, and Colombia! South America content coming soon:)

[@SamanthaHernandez-c8u]

Your video is incredibly informative and started me off with the basic questions on how to get started with all of this and planning

Fab video! I can't wait to post my solo travel vlogs ❤️

Thank you so much for the tips! Your hairband is soo cute! I didn't actually know that Work Away has a member fee.... something I'm looking into at the moment but I am worried about safety at staying at random people's houses... do you have any tips for that?

[@SerenaJayne]

Glad I could help, and thank you! I totally understand, I definitely would suggest choosing a workaway with 3+ reviews, one where you wouldn't be the only volunteer, speaking for former volunteers, and maybe starting with one in a city or otherwise not isolated place so that you can leave and have a backup if needed :)

[@freyassouvenirs820]

thanks so much! I will definitely take that into account :):):)

I live overseas and where I ive you can get malaria medicine for very cheap so some medication may be less expesnsive in the country you travel too.

[@SerenaJayne]

Yes! It took me a while to learn this but so true!

[@rachelmarrod1472]

Hey loved the video but you didn't say anything about how much money was needed in general to travel various countries 5,000 8,000🙃?

[@SerenaJayne]

Totally depends on where you're going and how you like to travel! Would it be helpful if I made a more specific video on the topic?

[@rachelmarrod1472]

@@SerenaJayne Definetly💕, specially being students working part time jobs it helps to know how long it will take to save up😁

[@jessbaldwin]

Yeah China you have to go in person to get visa. x

[@charlotteburke1689]

Thank you very much!

[@SerenaJayne]

you're welcome!

I loved your video and planning to do a gap year myself. I was thinking of getting travel insurance from global nomads but I dont have existing health insurance. Will that be a problem from getting travel insurance?

[@SerenaJayne]

Hey! Not totally sure, but there are many different companies that you can check with. Have fun on your gap year!

[@williambarrett1234]

Damn sounds a bit 2 expensive 4 me

[@beth5174]

What was your daily budget for the countries you went to?
