PLANNING MY NEXT BIG TRIP! 😍🌏Destinations + Timing + Budget

[@izzyregonini3585]

I really like this style video where we actually follow along as you plan, rather than just a list of tips. It makes it seem much more realistic and inspiring!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it ❤️

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

I’m so so looking forward to your adventures.:) This all sounds an amazing and I loved watching your whole process. Josh and I are headed to you neck of the wood mid Sep. we’d love a local guide and I’m happy to see you’ll be leaving after our time there. Lemme know if you wanna show two lil yanks the best fish’nchips in town😉 -Ash

[@BackpackingBananas]

Yaaass 🙌🏼 I’d love to show you guys around! 😁😁❤️

[@ashleym5436]

A return flight from London to Cancun is only 460 pounds. Cozumel would be an amazing place to do your divemaster! Lots of cheap eats and amazing diving!

[@KaliAlexandria]

Backpacking after college is my goal!! Thanks for inspiring me :)

[@HannahMcFarlane1029]

Liked the way you done this video. I have so much fun planning an adventure, even the boring stuff I try to make fun so it was cool to watch :D. I am about to start planning for my working holiday in Australia which I am super excited about, been on my bucket list for a while and can't wait to get there and explore!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thank you ❤️ Woop that’s exciting🙌🏼😎

[@TheHerothief]

so fun to watch! seeing you not get overwhelmed makes me less overwhelmed hahaha

[@adrianad8699]

This video was soo useful. ..probably i should start to plan as well because i prefer dont think about exact budget because it stress me a bit :D i m going to Vietnam on December and for sure i would like to go to Mexico in summer and live a bit in Toronto because ive just fallen in love with that city :D

[@emmaschippers5626]

Yeaah fun video! Im already preparing for my very first big solo trip to Guatemala, Belize and Mexico in February. Also I've never ever been outside Europe so my knees are already shaky lol. I made a budget overview and I have to save a lot the next coming months but I know it will be worth it. Biggest challenge is to stay away from my saving account tho!

[@reesaforrester4266]

Have a great trip. I've been to Guatemala and Mexico and they are beautiful. Just brush up on a little Spanish and take the basic precautions and you will be fine. The exchange rate meant my budget lasted a long time.

[@billmccaleb7481]

wow that is some plan! I hope you do it, and I hope you are able to vlog whilst doing it. I'd love to see how it goes! Good luck, we're all counting on you!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Me too! I’d deffo try to vlog as much as I can! I do always find it more difficult to keep on top of things while I’m on the road though 🙈

[@heathereuphemia]

Your plans sound amazing! This video inspired me loads because I'm planning on saving to travel Asia next year and hopefully teach English in Thailand or Vietnam! :)

[@BackpackingBananas]

Yay! That sounds like a great plan 😎

[@natasharisman5839]

Glad to hear you’re planning to attend the wedding! 13:15 dad pottering in the hall 😂

[@BackpackingBananas]

Dad lives his life pottering the hallways

[@CrossingBeauty]

I was planning on having weekend full of house cleaning, running errands and sorting stuff, but ended binge watching all your videos (accidentally clicked on your Perth video, which was the BEST thing I did yesterday 😄). Love your energy, enthusiasm and adventurous spirit! You really made me question some of my life's priorities 😁 Keep on with your great adventures, if nothing more, I'll be here to follow. Love from Croatia.

[@BackpackingBananas]

😂😂❤️ Consider watching my videos as research, time well spent 😉

[@BeerForBreakfast]

Hey girl! What a great video not just for you to get your head round but also for those who would like to do something similar! Very useful! :) We are also heading to the Phillippines in Jan & Feb so maybe we can meet! By the way, we are currently in Borneo, been here for a month, still got a few weeks to go and trust me, it's incredible. We definitely recommend coming here! Cheers !

[@BackpackingBananas]

Heyy! No way that’s awesome yay! Would love to meet you guys if we cross paths 😁 Borneo sounds so lush ❤️

[@johncarter6852]

beer for breakfast already in fiippins in the past and familiar w/ the country, def. do collab. work w/ them whilst there.....

[@marie_ls]

Very exciting video, i love to "plan" my trips, it always gives me motivation to save more money

[@BackpackingBananas]

Me toooo 😁😁😁

[@hannahvandervelden690]

How nice :) I am planning a 5 week backpacking trip to the Philippines this january/february! Maybe i’ll see you there

[@jonnyb4271]

I'm really looking forward to your Bali videos I am creating a plan myself. It looks simply incredible 😎

[@fadzlySunny]

I have backpacked southEast Asia , australia and new zealand for 7 months . Now back home in Singapore and next plan is just a trip to bangkok and bringing 2 of my friends that have never left the country . Love from Singapore . You could visit singapore for less than £100 from both indonesia and phill .

[@rachelblack6966]

I did a work away in nozawaonsen, a ski village in japan. All the working holiday australians find a service job and ski/snowboard for a whole season while they work. Might be worth checking out

[@margarida9172]

Great video! Even though some people find it boring or cumbersome, I absolutely love planning and organising trips. In less than a month I’m going to China (doing Beijing, Macau and Hong Kong) for two weeks. It had been on top of my bucket list for ages, so I’m really excited for it!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Yay!! That’s exciting 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@BoStark]

Love/hate the planning phase. I usually have upcoming destinations as slideshow wallpapers on my computer. Keeps me motivated. Love Hong Kong, fantastic city!

[@sarahcosca]

I don't have any new plans yet because I just got back from a 21 state road trip through the US a couple days ago! It was so incredible and I got to check so many things off of my bucket list! I am already itching to go somewhere else now.

[@BackpackingBananas]

That’s so cool! I’d love to road trip the states one day 😍

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

I love the idea of this video! I have a feeling we might just cross paths at some point too which would be awesome! ;)

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks 🤓 oohhh really?! That would be amazeballs!

[@TheWanderingQuinn]

Yep! My plans will change i'm sure but I think I'll be in Indonesia around April-May time next year! Could be earlier, could be later though, you know what it's like! :D

[@SiggyStansfield]

thats so exciting! you're gonna have so much fun, i've just finished my divemaster a few days ago in Utila and it was so so amazing :) excited to see where you decide to go!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Ah so jeal! I’m really excited to do mine 😊

[@DanicaChristin]

I lived in the Philippines for a few months and you don't save a lot of money by taking ferries. Once you add up all the additional expenses you might as well take a flight. 4 weeks in probably enough to see the Philippines.

[@jixxy3337]

Good video! I'm in this process now and its quite daunting picking what to do, where.... and how!

[@tijay8507]

My son just landed in Bali again on Monday night for two months! he did Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Bali prior to that and he is already planning the next one LOL!

[@nannaborregaard3187]

Unfortunately no big backpacking plan any time soon, but will be going to Malta for some days in October and planning to take a semester abroad fall 2019, probably in the USA or Australia and doing som backpacking before, after and hopefully during the school year. Top of my bucket list is definitely South America

[@BackpackingBananas]

It’s cool to have things on your bucket list though! More time to research everything you wanna do 😍

[@Lauren_aida]

Definitely come to Ecuador!! It's a small country that's easy to backpack around with an amazing variety of cultures and beautiful places!

[@roamnaturally8086]

Everytime I watch one of your videos, I feel an instant need for a cuppa and toast! Your videos are just so cozy and it really feels like I'm just having a chat with a friend :D Excited for you to be on the road again!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Yay! thats what I want :D xxxx

[@AdventureswithRach]

If you do come back to Perth again I'd love to meet up with you! Also really love this video, not sure if its coz i'm living vicariously through you or actually taking things away and getting inspired to travel again, but either way!

[@minnatheflamingo3792]

Very useful video. :) I also enjoy planning and organizing things and at the moment I'm planning (and saving money) for my first ever backpacking trip to Australia. 😁

[@BackpackingBananas]

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@JohnDahl-p6h]

Your videos are great Ms BB! You are super duper charming. Keep up the good work and stay safe!

[@debsmith7050]

Planning for South America in November 2018 :) I agree that planning & saving is a fun part of the process. Thanks for sharing

[@BackpackingBananas]

Ahh I want to get myself to South America so bad! That will be awesome! 😎

[@onehundredmillionstars1276]

Great video! Lots of luck, just seeing even one of those destinations in your vlogs would be really amazing. Keep up the great work 🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@Taylortakesontheworld]

Love these types of videos from you! So I leave for a 2.5 month backpacking trip around New Zealand in 2 weeks and It'll be my first solo trip. So excited, but also a little nervous

[@BackpackingBananas]

Ah that will be epic!!! Such a nice amount of time to see the whole country as well. Make sure you have lots of layers though, the South Island will be very chilly!

[@Taylortakesontheworld]

Backpacking Bananas that’s what I’m worried about. I’m from Sydney Australia (well 1 hour south) and it’s currently 12 degrees and that’s cold enough for me! Not a winter girl but I guess I’ll have to change that 😂 Currently going through your NZ videos and binge watching them to prepare me

[@BackpackingBananas]

😂 you’ll be sweet.

[@oscarsole8982]

I am leaving belgium in September and go to Australië :p it will be mine firstbackpack experience i'm so excited :o like your videos ;)

[@BackpackingBananas]

Woooo! 🙌🏼 So soon! 😍

[@wanderingaj6801]

Saw this and loved it because I'm probably going alone to Bali nxt year but I'm trying to save and it's really hard but this video have me Hope and Inspiration to keep at it...lok love to travel with you i think it would be an EPIC ADVENTURE 🙏🏾 and hopefully getting my channel up and running 🤙🏾🤙🏾💙🤗 soon

[@sariihn]

such a good video! I should plan my next trips like this as well. In just a few days I‘ll be leaving for Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. And afterwards at the end of october I‘ll be leaving for Colombia and South America 🙌🏼🎉

[@BackpackingBananas]

Wowweee you gotta lot coming up! 😍🙌🏼

[@Lauren_aida]

I plan my travel this way too! It doesn't always happen but it definitely makes it more likely and easier to plan! This is how I made my Indonesia and Laos backpacking trip a reality this year! And it sure things change - I had a few journal pages worth of Kenya backpacking ideas for next July but then my friend asked me to be her bridesmaid in her Guatemala wedding happening at that time - looks like it'll be a Guatemala backpacking trip instead! Perhaps Kenya 2020? ^_^

[@Julerdable]

Definitely recommend to dive on the perhentian islands in Malaysia!

[@BackpackingBananas]

I’ve heard that is super busy and over saturated with tourists no?

[@Ctayla92]

Hearing really good things about the Perhentians for diving as other people have said! Would defo look into it

[@BackpackingBananas]

I’ve heard the opposite so I’m a bit sceptical about the Perhentians 🤔

[@0pima0]

Would LOVEEEE if you did a video on the whole process of getting your dive master! I'm currently rescue certIfied, so DM is next!😍

[@BackpackingBananas]

I definitely will when I do it!!

[@laurenmyatt1740]

Can’t wait for (hopefully) your Philippines content!! Been hoping to use your Bali vids for inspo but I go start of October😩 any excuse to visit again

[@lucilasandoval3084]

Next year I have south Africa, US, and Costa Rica all for work but I'm gonna squeeze travelling in there too

[@BackpackingBananas]

That’s a fun work trip! 😜

[@MattNav]

Exciting times ahead for you 😄 Perth should be pretty easy to squeeze in since Jetstar does fly nonstop flights from Bali to Perth for I think about £50 one way ?

[@MattNav]

As for me I'm also in the planning stages of a 5 week bounce around trip around the world. Hoping to get to Banff in Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Cape Town South Africa and Los Angeles.

[@BackpackingBananas]

That’s a BIG trip! Wowza all in 5 weeks?? 😱

[@MattNav]

Backpacking Bananas yep 😅 well last year I did my first rtw trip. I did 11 countries for 6 weeks flying eastwards continuously. But I only got to spend a few days in each country. This time I hope to dedicate more time to each one. So my plan is 1 week in Canada, a few days in Asia, 2 weeks in Cape Town and a week in LA (since it's my third time visiting California)

[@hannahmacdonald9520]

Hi! Quick question as I don’t really fully understand Googles answers. What’s the weather like in Australia (south coast) in summer? Please? What type of clothes would I need to pack? Is it often cold? Thank you so much in advance :)

[@Katyob7]

Ooh I love this video :) and I like your set up!!! Very profeshhh 👌👌😂❤️

[@jf6395]

snowboard holiday and someplace amazing and non European one word Montana usa....it will be a trip trip you will never forget...

[@emida1022]

What are you working that allows you to take so much time off an travel the world? Just started watching you videos a couple of weeks ago and it inspires me sooo much!

[@cwaddell171]

I spent a month in the Philippines a couple of years ago and loved it (and actually want to get back sometime to places I didn't get to, now I have my drone to make an even better video). With the visa limit of 30 days I decided to book my flights in between in advance to make the most of my time (some weren't too bad, others a little more pricey). But managed to get to El Nido (10 day tour), then Coron (my favourite place), Boracay, Cebu and Bohol. And even a month felt slightly rushed for some of that. So 6 weeks is probably perfect. Komodo Islands are high up on my list too. I planned to go last year but managed to sprain both my wrist and ankle in Bali so had to cut my trip a bit short :(

[@BackpackingBananas]

Ohhh no I hate getting injured while abroad, that is gutting! Hopefully you get to visit soon 😊

[@johnrobertruiz9201]

That’s actually a good months to go to the Philippines, Jan and Feb coz it’s the cold weather. I would just like to give u a tip *always anticipate the traffic it’s worst hehe *the airlines usually have a delay especially local flights And *just be careful in Manila there’s a lot of dodgy stuff going on in there. Anyway good luck hope u enjoy the Philippines 👍👍👍👍

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks for the tips 😁😎

[@Alexis-jw7ot]

Thailand and Cambodja look amazing but I don't know when I'll have the free time and money to travel due to uni

[@SavageTraveling]

I'm visiting Vietnam in December then I'm still debating on if I should head to Philippines afterwards or elsewhere. Planning is half the fun :)

[@BackpackingBananas]

😁🙌🏼

[@SavageTraveling]

I'm trying to give this channel of mine a "kick to the rear" if you know what I mean... The Philippines is a good place for that and Cebu looks nice :)

[@natalieduden630]

MY DAD AN I ARE GOING TO NEW ZEALAND AND I'M SO EXCITED I CAN'T CONTAIN MYSELF

[@TheFirstone99]

What would be your priorities on choosing the countries for your journey ?

[@rebekahcoulson6918]

Yes come to Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

[@delilahtaylorkay]

Hey! I'm a solo female traveler and im going to be in Bali in April and May!!

[@Ginask2]

Love this!!!😍

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks girl ❤️

[@FlunkingMonkey]

Have you thought about the Perhentian islands, Malaysia for your Dive Master?

[@BackpackingBananas]

I’ve heard it’s awful there 😰

[@mollieskiffington5606]

If you see this, may I just ask for your advice? my boyfriend and I are currently going to Australia and only have a one way ticket, we plan on staying for 8-9 months but no set plans but I was wondering how early before wanting to leave would you recommend booking your flight??

[@justaperson2687]

First comment! Great as always :'D

[@BackpackingBananas]

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@roamnaturally8086]

Also would you ever consider doing a WHV in Canada? Thats where I'm off to next year, theres so much info about WHV in OZ and NZ but barely any on Canada so I really don't know what to expect!

[@BackpackingBananas]

I would love to! I know the visa's are quite difficult to get for UK citizens so congrats! Maybe you should make some videos with all the info after you've been 🙈

[@roamnaturally8086]

No harm in trying!Also if you have 2 years travel insurance then you can stay there for 2 years so definitely loads of time for adventures. We definitely will, we're upgrading all our equipment specifically for this trip!

[@JohnDahl-p6h]

A natural beauty, no doubt!

[@TheFirstone99]

All that dive master illusions are lust

[@DaniellaSushi]

Loved this video idea!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks girl ❤️

[@philybrowne8239]

Would you go to do a whv in Canada to do skiing/snowboarding

[@adamboon1302]

I’m torn between interailing or Bali in April/May at the moment 🙃

[@BackpackingBananas]

2 very different options you got there!

[@anze.r]

Hey, do you know that you have really cheap flights from London to Singapore for 160£ and then you can fly for 50£ so in total is appx 200£ :) carrier is Norwegianair

[@BackpackingBananas]

Great tip!

[@anze.r]

Or more adventures way: go from london to dubai for around 100£ and then fly from dubai to manila for another 100£. You have cheap flights to Australia with scoot from Athens for around 200£ and flight to Athenes is another 50£ let say :)

[@johncarter6852]

fillipinen 🏝🌿🌹live the adventure.....

[@maxMAXmaxxx123]

Can you please show us your entire bucket list - I am so courious 😇😍

[@mellymarich8822]

Really good, I can recommend going to Surabaya in Indonesia, also if Etihad is a little bit more expensive, it’s worth it (to CGK) also to Surabaya should be Lion, (AVOID AIR ASIA INDONESIA AT ALL COSTS) also hope you could make more flight reviews

[@coolbeanismymiddlename9274]

Hey! I really want to go travelling but I don't want to go alone, so I have tried to find friends who can come with me but it seems really difficult to get our schedules to match up so we can go together. What can I do about this?

[@BackpackingBananas]

Maybe go on a tour? Have a look at Topdeck, contiki, intrepid travel or G-Adventures 😊

[@patricia_w]

Americaaaa :D California and NYC :D and then back to NZ for 2 weeks

[@BackpackingBananas]

😍🙌🏼😎

[@FranziFrantic]

Hey :) i did my divemaster here in beautiful Komodo National Park and live here since october last year. I can highly recommend diving here because it's just AMAZING!

[@BackpackingBananas]

That makes me so happy to hear 😍😍 any particularly good or bad dive shops that you recommend or don’t recommend?

[@FranziFrantic]

Hey, these is not really a dive shop i heard something bad about. I did mine with Komodo Dive center and it was amazing because also as a dive master training i had the chance to join their liveaboard trips! So when you checking different shops you can ask them if you will also go to the liveaboard cause its a great experience living on a boat for 4-7 days and go diving 4 times a day

[@BoStark]

Haven't heard about Komodo before, sounds like interesting place.

[@FranziFrantic]

yes, basically i can summarize that we have a lot of different dive sites with different topography and different marine life. The highlights is for sure the healthy coral reefs, the reef mantas and the different currents you can experience! Komodo has so much to offer and its one of the best places i dived.

[@summerberryxoxox]

Awesome video!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Glad you liked it ❤️❤️

[@rachelroberts2592]

What work do you do to save up??? And how much does social media contribute towards this??

[@lewishomer211096]

Off on a WHV to Aus on 20/08, any tips!?😬

[@BackpackingBananas]

Video I made a week or so ago is FULL of tips for you 😁

[@AmandaMcGee]

I realize this video is 2 years old but I love it

[@mellymarich8822]

How is the Sri Lanka Airlines video going

[@BackpackingBananas]

I may have uncovered some footage 😏😏😏 stay tuned

[@emily25342]

Other than your freelance film editing do you do any casual work ?

[@BackpackingBananas]

Not at the moment 😊

[@emily25342]

Backpacking Bananas Do you ever work when you are abroad I mean other than the internship? I take it that means the dive master is free? How do you find one?

[@BackpackingBananas]

When I had working holiday visas in Oz and NZ, I had random work abroad. I worked in a hotel, did some office admin as well as a few other jobs.. Is that what you mean lol?

[@emily25342]

Backpacking Bananas I think you answered my question ! :) Forgive me if you already have but a video on how to find work whilst travelling would be very helpful :) :)

[@mellymarich8822]

Dive master would be great in Indonesia

[@BackpackingBananas]

I’ve heard some really great things 🌚

[@LakwatserangBisaya]

I love all your travel vlog

[@bayuchandraprasetyo2353]

Bloody shock when hear most of the places are in Indonesia. Wish you get an Indonesian guy LOL 😂 Greeting from 🇮🇩

[@pumpkinprincess1031]

Philippines with Tal!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Will he still be there??

[@Cocomariex3]

Hurd Thailand is the cheapest to get it! 2-300 dollars !!

[@gabsjourney2599]

[@MrHdos]

Just come to Australia, road trip?

[@BackpackingBananas]

[@Nessanako]

[@BackpackingBananas]

Yes I’ve been to Kenya and Tanzania 😊

[@gabsjourney2599]

[@BoStark]

Sign me up on a snowboard trip any day. If anyone know of about some more unusual ski destinations let me know.

[@Kane1993x]
