[@ellesbellesbieber]

Was not expecting this! I was thinking Australia! Have a great time there, such a great decision! Can’t wait to see more videos!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks lovely ❤️ I'm excited for this new chapter 🥳

[@1wildCHIICK]

Our Border here in Australia is only open to Australian citizens and as of this friday New Zealand.

[@ellesbellesbieber]

Pianochiick I knew borders were closed but I felt like she previously said a sibling lives in Australia and I heard you can get into Australia if you have an immediate family member there, so that was why I was thinking it could be!

[@1wildCHIICK]

@@ellesbellesbieber Unfortunately not, at the moment the Border is still only open to citizens and permanant residents. There has been talks of that changing soon. Also the possibility for a travel bubble with japan and singapore and other places in the asia pacific.

[@heysoph.9]

"nothing's challenging me" Me, in Melbourne, hasn't left my house for 6 months... Getting dressed is challenging? Ha Literally not allowed 5km from home, out of the state or out of the country 😭 Kinda crazy that the government can ban you from leaving Australia

[@BackpackingBananas]

Sending you good vibes 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I hope Melbourne gets out of this soon!

[@juliebrooke6099]

That’s mad. I can understand them wanting to control who comes in at the moment and where from, but why would they stop you leaving the country? Just knowing that would make me want to go!

[@heysoph.9]

@@juliebrooke6099 I think they stopped us leaving because eventually, you want to come back, then you have thousands of citizens complaining flights are cancelled, and then thousands of people in hotel quarantine system etc. In march, a lot of people still went in their holidays even though they were advised to come back immediately, then thousands got stuck overseas, some still stuck there and complained to the government the return flights cost $15000+ each etc

[@emilysherry2724]

This was me in Melbourne too, living with my parents and unchallenged, so I moved to the Gold Coast 🙈 not quite Germany like I wanted but it will do for now 🤣

[@yoovie]

lol imagine if you were allowed to leave but no one will let you in! I would gladly trade you my

[@LeighAnneMarie]

The storytelling, editing, and music were all so on point in this video. So excited to watch your new life in Mexico unfold

[@alexcox9841]

Wow omg this incredible, you’re so badass and spontaneous just packing a backpack and moving to Mexico!! Inspiring 😍. The suspense on this video was so worth it, the build-up, the editing, the music... amazing! I can’t wait to see what you get up to!!!

[@FeedMyPostBox]

00:50 I'm 38 years old and I still run up the stairs like this 😂

[@BoStark]

Haha, didn't even notice that.

[@lucyhetherington5399]

god I desperately need a mama mia moment after this video 😅

[@BackpackingBananas]

Gotta do it once in your life 🤠

[@theowletblog]

I aspire to this level of spontaneity. I became a full time travel blogger last year (I review cruises and travel within Europe). I got on my first plane last year and was so anxious that I nearly didn't go. I made it and had the time of my life & was planning so many trips when corona happened (the UK went into lockdown on the day I was going to take my second flying holiday). I've been regretting not being brave enough to travel sooner & then finding your channel a month ago gave me the final push. I've been saving up and as soon as this is over I'm booking more flights and travelling to wherever scares me most. Thank you for the encouragement!

[@BackpackingBananas]

That's awesome!! Congratulations on going full time! ❤️❤️❤️

[@OmgGlitter]

Everything about this video!! The editing!! The music!! The Country!!! Absolutely love, hope you have such a great time and can't wait to see more :))

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️🥳🥳🥳

[@Monica-jq4gy]

WOW !!! Big twist !!! Loveddddd this video !! Your editing skills are insane lol !!!!!!! Love this so much :) btw love the sound track...ABBA rocks !!!!!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

I needed an excuse to use this song at least once in my life 🙈

[@Monica-jq4gy]

Backpacking Bananas 🥰🥰💕

[@ImogenWhite]

Omg this is SO exciting- I’ve missed the travel videos!! I cannot wait to see what you get up to!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Yayyyy 🥳🥳🥳

[@mercedesmartinezbruera9861]

Me a LatinAmerican girl making plans to get away from here and she moving here😂😂. We could make an exchange programme

[@BackpackingBananas]

Haha now that's a system I could get on board with 😜

[@ladycake1515]

Do you want to move to Stockholm, let me know LOL

[@mercedesmartinezbruera9861]

Kakan Trädgård that’s funny bc me and a friend were actually looking into moving to Sweden since it’s the only UE country that still gives out visas.

[@mariaribo.]

haha same here! I'm from Mexico and I can't wait to get out of here.

[@sierrashavon6459]

@@mariaribo. I'm curious, what are your biggest pet peeves of living in Mexico?

[@farfromholmes3383]

Oh my god this made me SO HAPPY to watch. There's light at the end of the tunnel for all the travellers who had to go back to living with our parents 😭😂 So happy for you have an amazing time!!!!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

The light is near ☀️☀️☀️

[@delgem7337]

Okay I’ve never commented on a video before, but I have to say that the editing on this video was incredible! Well done. Excited to follow your adventures!

[@chloeogg1127]

OMG I was literally welling up watching this! I can just imagine how stagnant life was feeling (as it is for all of us in the UK) so I'm so glad you've made the decision and just done it!!!!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks lovely ❤️ I feel good about the decision!!

[@hayleymorris]

Mate your editing kills me!Everytime I watch one of your videos i'm like SHE'S LEVELLED UP AGAIN! Insane, so bloody pumped for you, cannot wait to see you in Mexico and also, now I want to go to Mexico haha

[@il3077]

Same as a kiwi

[@LauraOnTheMove]

Absolutely loved the editing and music. The fast pace was just fun to watch. Happy you're out and about again and excited to see what you get into in Mexico!

[@JennaBrown]

Your editing has leveled up in quarantine and I’m loving it!

[@kitkat2114]

I came here as I am subscribed to Joel&Lia and their individual sites. This is so amazing to make the decision to move! And To Tulum! I did not expect to hear that location. 😃 Tulum is awesome According to my daughter. She currently lives in London. She wants to move there or to Bali. We shall see. 🤔 Wishing you the best of luck in your move!🙏🥂

[@marisaclark678]

AMAZING editing!! Enjoy! I just moved to Tel Aviv two months ago!

[@shreyas111]

What a beautifully crafted video ..amazing:)

[@AnnuSia]

Always exciting to see a new video of yours!

[@sharayahkristell]

I was thinking Spain because you've been learning Spanish but Mexico seems to make so much sense for you! I can't wait to travel internationally again (if only I had the money 😅) I hope the move and transition is fun and easy! Xoxo

[@BackpackingBananas]

Spain would also have been fab! But I'm super happy with my decision 😊❤️

[@marjiecleveland]

Wow! Congratulations on your big move! Looking forward to seeing videos about your new life in Mexico!

[@kazmatthews3749]

You are so inspiring! That feeling of not being inspired and challenged is so relatable. It’s amazing that your reaction to that feeling was to move to a random place. What a boss!

[@joymorrill574]

So happy for you and so happy that 1 of the travel vloggers I watch didn't buy an RV. So excited for you!

[@jadehendricks4916]

This is my first video of yours that I'm watching. I absolutely love your vibe!

[@annaellerhausen3679]

I totally understand what you mean when you say „I am on longer happy here“. I came back to live with my parents in Germany at the end of March and it is the longest time I have been at home since I finished school in 2015. I am currently writing my bachelors thesis and will stay until I finished studying by the end of the year, but I am already looking forward to move out and start to work afterwards even though I have no idea where to go yet 🤷‍♀️ My plan was to go back to working on a cruise ship next year, but it doesn‘t look like that‘s going to happen 😔

[@lucilasandoval3084]

I'm not sure you know this but a very devastating hurricane just hit Cancun, like yesterday, it might be a little bit under the weather right now, also the area is having a lot of issues with Covid still, so maybe you'd like to be careful about that. I think you'll enjoy living in México a lot but please do consider the fact that the Covid crisis is no way controlled here, and that even though "lockdown" is over (it was never really official) the pandemic is still very much raging in this part.

[@analils]

Mexico rlly be like “um que es eso del covid 🥰” & people rlly just wanna pack up and go.
