I'M HOME 🏠🥰 How I Manage the Travel Blues

[@matuklon]

The post-travel blues can really hit you hard - even after a short trip! Great video.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Yes it really can! Thanks so much! :)

[@ArchieAroundtheWorld]

The timing of this vlog couldn't have come at a better time. I always have a hard time dealing with the travel blues and what you said about viewing the trip as a completed memory is something I never thought about before. Thanks, Christianne!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Aw pleasure ❤️❤️

[@alexou2111]

I went on a 3 week vacation abroad and I came back 2 days ago and I have been suffering so much since. I am constantly crying and feeling so sad that I came back and that the fun is over. All the touristy activities and so on. I keep watching videos on how to get over this but I feel like it is easier said than done. I am sure other people can relate to me right now. When you have been waiting for so long to do this trip and then all of a sudden it came to an end and you realised it, it hits you really really hard.

[@lucilasandoval3084]

The part of thinking about what you want to change as a result of what you learned is huge. It makes you feel like you are sort of integrating the travels into your life and your person.

[@KatyJames71]

I’m having a tough few days on a backpacking trip but this video reminded me how lucky I am to be here and that I’ll miss the lifestyle when I’m gone - thank u christianne!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Pleasure ☺️ hope things turn around!! ❤️

[@juliak7353]

This was just what I needed to hear right now, thanks! I just got back from my trip in oz that went from being 6 months to just about over 3 years. You can definately say that I'm feeling the travel blues atm. Great advice, made me happy to watch :)

[@dasha9048]

I just decided my next trip will be there. I'm glad you had a good time! Any advice for a female US solo traveler?

[@ayseteshdemir3567]

You're always inspirational, positive and see things from a clear perspective; Makes watching your videos truly time well spent! Thank you Christianne :)

[@halashareef221]

That was so positive and helpful, thank you! 🥹

[@Angela-1974]

One of my favourite quotes is "don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" 🙂

[@BackpackingBananas]

That’s a great one!

[@pako_nam]

Thank you so much for your inspirational and encouraging words. Each time when I came back from a trip, I felt very down, but couldn't explain why. I feel very lucky that I could travel and looking forward to the future :)

[@robbiedolan340]

Travel blues are killer, especially after backpacking. I always find the first couple of days at home are really nice when you see family, eat some food you've been missing etc then it hits super hard.

[@dasha9048]

Thank you for this video. I really needed it. I've been deep in the travel blues after returning from a 4-month backpacking trip to the UK in December. Now, I've decided my next trip will be to Australia and New Zealand next year. So, now I finally have something to plan and look forward to. Your video helped me feel reassured that I'm not alone in feeling this way.

[@billmccaleb7481]

I love to travel but I have always loved getting home. Reflecting on the trip is fun, especially when you have great memories of the journey and destination. Also...that's a lot of pants! Lol

[@mollyhowieson9969]

Grocery shopping is one of my favourite activities, it's like a mini shopping spree! I also like visiting grocery stores in other countries -- love seeing the selection, what's the same and what's different.

[@waffl3h0use]

Amazing tips, Christianne! Thank you so much!

[@raymonortiz3084]

Hi Christianne. Glad you're safe back home. Yes, you've been on quite a big adventure. Love your new maps. But now it's time to plan the next great one. Rest well, take care. See you in the next one. 👋🥰 Btw, you turned me on to Cody Francis' music. Love it. 😊

[@BANGTEEZ_IN_YOUR_AREA]

Those maps look insane! I’m deffo going to get the scuba one as I really want to explore the underworld more and I just love the water ♥️

[@runnalls]

I just got back to Canada after being away 10 months on Friday - thanks for the video because I have the blues big time.

[@haxter3]

Awesome video Christianne😊👍👍

[@johnnymaldonadoparedes3502]

Bruno Ascenso is very happy about your movie recommendation. Come soon to Peru!

[@AdamMcDermott]

Your life on the road is exciting - why I subscribed - but also nice to see home life.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Glad you like both styles of video! :)

[@EmmaNicole]

I loved this video, especially the completed memory advice 🙂

[@bethmeredith]

Glad you made it back safe. Great video.

[@kimiimore]

Not gonna miss this of course! Glad you're back home and safe!! xx

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks Kimii 🥰🥰

[@SkyKangaroo]

This is perfect timing. I just finished traveling a little bit and just found a new apt in a new town yesterday!

[@seandesmond5560]

Great vlog wonderful Christie!!!! 💖💖😍😍❤❤

[@tysoncodes]

Maybe you should consider getting lasik? After lasik you wouldn't need to fuss with contacts or worry about getting them ever again. So much peace of mind.

[@shannomadic_8939]

Watching Backpacking Bananas is how I deal with travel blues 😂 thank you for making this video!

[@holliejane3605]

I love sainsburys too! Can’t wait for you next trip to Pakistan! 15 weeks for me until I fly to Las Vegas to get married and begin my life with my other half, no kids just careers and travelling forever ❤️

[@EdGoPlaces]

That's a cool map. I need to start spreading my wings and fly far away. 🦅😍🦅👍🏾🦅🦋🦅

[@BackpackingBananas]

🛸

[@Lauren_aida]

Thaaank you for the movie rec! So hard to find good travel movies, especially that center women! My favorite is Queen with Kangana Ranaut!

[@ireneinneverland4328]

You should come to Sardinia during the summer! It’s amazing

[@chasingadeline]

It’s always nice to be back home after all that traveling

[@BackpackingBananas]

It really is 🥰

[@j-bow.mylife97]

Came back from a month in the Philippines on 27 April (a month ago yesterday). I was back at work 2 days later. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing, all I know is I'd still rather be out there but it's ok because every day here is a day closer to going back out there again. It also nice to get back in your own bed, see friends and family again. Before I went I changed my bedding and laid out a towel, tracksuit trousers & my favourite T shirt. I also made sure that there was semi decent ready meal in the freezer (as my Wife was out there for another 15 days with her Mum), tooth paste, shower gel etc so after unpacking chuck the food in the microwave, have a shower then food and crash out in a lovely fresh bed. Happy days.

[@BackpackingBananas]

That is SUCH a good idea! I love the preparation of you thinking of yourself post-trip!! I’m deffo gonna do this next time 🤩🤩 and I imagine would absolutely make it feel all the better to be home with your comforts

[@Chichicoco417]

For me, it was less about the specific locations. Sure they were beautiful, but what I really miss are the friends I made along the way while hostel hopping. We are all off in different directions now and I hope to meet them again. But there's no guarantee and there's not even a guarantee that we'll be the same ppl in the future and that we would still want to meet which is very sad.

[@carinateske6261]

Just came back from the Philippines and heartbroken to have left, so really need this video rn!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Aww, it can definitely be tough! Glad it helped :)

[@ellalin24]

Hey, love your videos. Are you gonna upload the Thailand trip budget video, like how much everything cost all together. It would be very helpful. 😊

[@BackpackingBananas]

Yes! Tomorrow ☺️

[@lana.9073]

Uuh I miss the UK and Sainsbury’s so much 💙💙💙

[@vegalopez4698]

hahahaha i had just finished watching your last video and was wondering if you were gonna make an unpacking videooo. I am binge watching all your videos and taking notes for my SEA backpacking trip!. love from Spainnnn (if you do come let me know!)

[@BackpackingBananas]

I am in Spain right now 😍😍

[@Hassan-chattha]

Your subscribers are gonna skyrocket as soon as you visit Pakistan. We would love to welcome you here. So happy you chose Pakistan for your visit.

[@xiaxenia]

😍 love the video

[@annalang5687]

I highly recommend to try monthly contact lenses if you want to switch to contact lenses only, they are cheaper in the long run and I found them to be much easier to get in and out of the eyes :)

[@CirrenaMarie]

I’m sure the movie inspiring you to go to Peru is not The Emperors New Grove but it’s the first thing that comes to mind when I think about Peru 🙃

[@BackpackingBananas]

Hahaha it wasn’t that one, but that a good one 😂

[@GlitterMoonbeam]

I suffered quite badly from travel blues The last time I came home . I had no idea what was wrong lol. One other thing, I’m a skin care fanatic . Physical exfoliants are not good for your skin. You would benefit more from a chemical one such as The Peeling Solution from The Ordinary or Revolution in Superdrug and Boots used once a week . Just a thought. Your pretty face doesn’t want lots of micro tears from those scratchy beads 😂. Please feel free to tell me to shut it lol 😂

[@faryalalam7730]

Home sweet home.

[@joxp6971]

You should move to australia cause you seem to like it here,we live here in sydney and love it,never been to perth but been europe and america many times,my wife is a pommy and we,ll travel back to uk next year as she has never been back have you done a cruise we are going on royal caribean to NZ in november.

[@paulinaweclawik]

Hey! I also wear contact lenses. PureVision2 is the name of them. They are monthly lenses which you don't need to take out, you can sleep and shower in them. But I'm not sure how they work in pool/sea. You might have to do some research. Just make sure you have moisturising eye drops.

[@luvablesweetnsassy]

Have you considered LASIK eye surgery to replace your glasses and contact lens? Highly effective, very safe and mostly affordable. Great video thanks 💕

[@zanimoji7695]

hello Christianne♥ i miss you from Thailand ♥

[@VTK72]

I’m not a big talker/writer but i love all your videos ❤️❤️❤️

[@verenadienstknecht8515]

Just bought the towel 😂 Going on a trip to Asia and Australia for a year in October, so this will be perfect😍

[@BackpackingBananas]

😍😍

[@Olivia-zq2wr]

Christianne, have you considered laser eye surgery? I got it last year and its been the best decision ever!!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

I definitely will think about this in the future! At the moment, I’m not sure if I will qualify

[@SabraKay]

Trying to figure out how many pairs of pants I'm going to need now....

[@carascloset3870]

Hiiii girl🥰 I’ve been patiently awaiting your thailand budget guide!! Is that video still coming?

[@BackpackingBananas]

Tomorrow!!

[@Xeneon341]

Kind of random but do you know if you have the Wanderlust Gene, "DRD4-7R?"

[@dandiiiful]

Is the canvas map travel friendly? Like will it roll up well in a suitcase?

[@BackpackingBananas]

Yes, it rolls up very well actually!

[@domim4496]

Go girl travel 🙂 💕🦋💚🚲🏖️

[@Amanda-eq5tu]

I love it! 💚🇧🇷

[@sunnytony697]

I love your video

[@rachgeorgia9993]

Have you thought about getting lasik eye surgery?

[@AC-kk3vo]

I got to learn to make and save more money so can travel ,, got to many responsibilities

[@jeffreymore6799]

I forgot to mention nice copper shirt. 😊

[@BonkersAboutAlice]

Top Costa tip**" Normally takes 8 drinks to get a free one on the app. Take your own refillable cup and it only takes 4 drinks to get a free one.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Haha that is FANTASTIC insider knowledge 🤩🤩

[@tillyholland1443]

Not a SAINSBURYS montage🤣🤣🤣

[@turjoy225]

❤️

[@jeffreymore6799]

I loved to see everything emptied on the floor 👌you should have skipped the makeup I personally think your fine without it. 😊 The travel towel will definitely be a conversation starter I’m sure. Have a nice time.

[@jf6395]

I think you'll survive

[@gabii8369]

10 pants?????? How? Why? I am confused! 😂 I travel with 3 - jeans, leggins and flowy pants and my bag is heavy enough. Been away for 7 months. What happened with you trying to be a minimalist? The small backpack just didn't do the job? All of us need something else indeed but I feel there is nothing worse in a hostel room and multiple massive bags and no space to walk around. Obviously with the exception of people who travel with camping gear, they need the extra space.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Im not sure where you’re from but in England, we call thongs/underwear ‘pants’. They’re tiny 😂 whereas you guys call jeans/leggings pants. We call them bottoms lol

[@gabii8369]

ohh, in this case makes sense 😄 although met a guy yesterday who's got 6 shorts and 5 tees.. (i've got 2 shorts and 9 tops) i suppose we all r different and consider different ammount of clothes suitable 😄

[@andzgaming25]

Plss comeback to the Philippines 😂😂

[@BackpackingBananas]

One day I’m sure!

[@rockynosesnorter2076]

It would be awesome to have a piggy/squirrel nose snorting hug fight with you🤡

[@sampatterson7761]

British people don’t smile at anyone haha. Just as bad as the French lol
