Travel Expenses? Solo travel? Favorite country? Practical information after my 161 days world trip!

[@Astailic]

Hi Yan, congrats on being able to monetize your channel. I think your channel grew really quickly in the last few weeks, but can't say I'm surprised because you are always respectful in your travels, your videos are also very nicely filmed, edited and narrated. Very much looking forward to your China videos, wishing you and your family well.

[@julianaphang6534]

My hubby loves your videos and recommended me to watch. I only started watching when he said you visited Malaysia 😂 I am Malaysian Chinese 😊 We have travelled to many countries preCovid and I can tell you every time we travelled, we can’t wait to get back home; we missed the food and the people. And of course, nothing beats living expenses in Malaysia! IMHO 😅 We have many friends who have married Chinese spouses and also meet many Chinese who have made Malaysia their second home. If you come to Malaysia again, you are most welcome to stay with us in Kuala Lumpur ❤🎉😊

[@mojaff3085]

I'm looking forward to see your videos on the daily lives of people in different parts of China. It will be very interesting to most foreigners like me who are armchair travellers to have an insight of life in China from an insider Chinese citizen. And I'm sure you'll gain a large number of subscribers.

[@solotransform]

Hi, great insight. You're meticulous in your record-keeping and analysis. I am looking forward to your take on your China trips. I like your format with narration in English and that it's from a native's point of view!

[@luxinfinity73]

I was in Chiang Mai a few years ago and I had to share my room with a young French woman because most accommodation were full. After a few months, I went to Yangoon in Myanmar and guess who did I meet? Yes, the same French woman I met in Chiang Mai. Keep your heart open.

[@Zerpentsa6598]

Malaysia is not far from China and many tourists there often change itinerary and would have liked to visit China from there. China should make it easier for them to apply for visa in Malaysia and Singapore instead of demanding they must apply for visa in their home country.

[@davidrichards1741]

@@Zerpentsa6598 No, actually, it is My govt that makes it hard to go to My. This has changed very much (for the worse) compared to before. So Malaysia tourism is way down. You need to compare to Mexico, which is booming and much easier for foreigner visas & travel. Also, get rid of those masks and dumb covid practices, like Mexico never had any covid rules so Mexico kept its business booming and lots of jobs for Mexicans.

I just discovered your channel today, & I just instantly love everything about you, your videos on 161 countries, & Yanjin. I look forward to watch all your videos, & your series on China. You will open the doors of China to the foreigners worldwide like me. Even though I have seen many good documentaries on China made by CGTV, CCTV, seeing through your lens is very refreshing. For a new travel blogger, you are good, & the qualities of your videos are excellent in terms of contents, music, photography. Well done. I wish you success & safe journeys.

As an occasional solo female traveler myself, your videos have given me so much inspiration to be more open. I've definitely found that simple things like making eye contact with the locals, smiling and a greeting in their language are all you need to start a conversation. Congrats on growing your channel!

I can't believe you aren't making a living from your channel yet as you certainly deserve to and seem to have plenty of views. Looking forward to seeing more of China. In these times when Western politicians and media are creating hostility towards China, it'd be helpful for someone like you to show the true human face of your vast and diverse nation.

[@CasterMedicus]

I am deeply impressed by your determination to save 6 years for such a trip and to try to make a living out of it. I hope you earn enough money with it (your Patreon link is a bit hidden). That being said, I am sure you could work together with a lot of companies with your video format. Some would probably pay while others might offer free flights, hotels etc. just to be mentioned in your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@MYTHOMINHTRAN]

EUR47 is less than CHF44. I used to earn more than CHF200/day in Switzerland in 2004 (before leaving to the US). With your budget if one stays in Europe, it even can not buy 2 meals (at a food stall) for a day.

I just saw part iof your 161 countries episode. I love you & your work, I applaud you for taking the bold step of traveling across the world solo. Though you met many kind, friendly & hospitable people, be cautious, hitch hiking can be dangerous, & is illegal in many countries. There had been cases of single female hich hikers being abducted & killed in 3rd world foreign countries. I pray for your safety. I am certain your hard work will be very well rewarded soon.❤🤙👏

[@eugenpreda-yz5fl]

Young Yan, you are a brave girl, however, should pay more attention to your own safety. As an example, hiking. Definitely proper equipment is a better option, especially shoes, but not only. There is a recent case of a female tourist lost in Tasmania, Australia, and very little chances for survival, after so many days. Nature is beautiful, but can be also very unforgiving if not prepared. Please keep this in mind, especially when travelling to countries with harsher climate, vegetation or even sometimes people. Be safe and happy.
