The Perth Diaries RETURNS - Becoming an Auntie 🥰👶🏻

I'm back in Perth baby! It's been 3 long years since I saw my sister who lives here and so I was THRILLED when WA decided to FINALLY open their borders. Just in time for my sister to have a baby as well! We welcomed to the world beautiful Baby Ivy and while Tish and baby were recovering in hospital, I was housesitting looking after Bailey the dog and getting up to regular mundane things that I do when I'm not backpacking.

ABOUT ME🙋🏻‍♀️
I'm Christianne, a solo traveller, vlogger and entrepeneur from Surrey, UK. I spend half my time exploring new places around the globe with my backpack, and the other half creating videos about my experiences, what I'm packing, solo travel advice, money budgeting tips and anything else in relation to my backpacking lifestyle.

FAQ's
How do you afford to travel? - I now earn a full time living through creating these KZbin videos, affiliate links, selling digital products and my clothing line. I used to simply just work any temporary job I could find to save up to travel! I budget the money I earn meticulously to reach my savings goals using www.backpackingbananas.com/pr...
Is travelling solo safe? - I would argue the answer is almost always yes! As long as you use your common sense and you follow your own government's guidelines about travelling in that country. I have made several videos on backpacking safety on my channel.
Do you have plans to settle down? Yes, I'm currently saving to purchase my first property in the UK and I'd love to have children one day. I doubt I'll ever live a completely 'conventional' lifestyle by society's standards though, as I often have my own preferred way of doing things.

I love that you are honest about the botox, I know a lot of people do it but don't really talk about it and then it's like "well whats your skincare routine" when it's something else. Also such a pretty baby, it so cool that you went there to see her first few days of life.

[@BackpackingBananas]

Honesty is always the best policy 🥰 thanks lovely!

[@jenniferanderssonmolin2978]

Great Vlog Aunty Christie!!! 💖 I lived in Perth when i was little for two years before moving back to Sydney. We loved in Cottesloe!

[@katiemichelle4639]

What a gorgeous video! 💕 I became an aunty almost 2 years ago now to my own niece and it was such an incredible, emotional moment meeting her. She is such a big part of my life, it is the best role! Congratulations to you and your family ☺️ Also btw there is many City Beach stores along the east coast of Aus, just to let you know for your next visit! Keep up with the amazing videos 💕

[@elena_a-2023]

Congratulations to your family! Baby’s are always a blessing! And you had a great big smile holding her, very sweet. I never would have guessed your beauty regimen. If you like it, do it! Btw I enjoy the non travel vlogs just as much.

[@BackpackingBananas]

[@BackpackingBananas]

She’s soo cute 🥺😍

[@tap836]

You and your sister look so similar. Awesome that you could be there at that time in their life.

[@elianaa.4375]

So nice to see the more normal and real parts of you & your life...now I feel like I actually got a glimpse into your real world and life. Congrats on being an auntie! I lived in Australia a couple of years and their deepest winter was like our mid-spring in Europe 😊 such a lovely part of the world. Keep being you. Lots of Love 🌟

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thank you 🥰🥰 yes it feels nice to post content like this sometimes!

[@karenlouisepresent1273]

Congratulations :)

[@buzzwig]

Congratulations on auntiehood! :D

[@eliseeey95]

I don’t think your sister and brother-in-law will have a lot of time to do puzzles in hospital with a new baby. It’s a very sweet thought but for anyone else thinking of doing this, those first days are spent learning to take care of your baby, having medical examinations, trying to sleep when you can, just enjoying cuddling your baby & having visitors now that it’s allowed. Theres just so much going on and the TV is there for the short amount of time you need entertainment!

[@VTK72]

❤️❤️❤️ 😱😱she’s is so cute 🥰

[@Angela-1974]

Congratulations to Tish and Liam on the birth of baby Ivy, she's so cute and congrats on becoming an auntie 😁 🎊❤️

For the washing up bit: you've got really good mini apartment style dishwashers you can put in the kitchen. So even if there isn't one build in. You can put a small one on a countertop. 😊

[@BackpackingBananas]

That will 100% be on the shopping list! 😅

[@carlosmarindiez4118]

what an amazing vlog..!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks Carlos 🥰

[@tijay8507]

How lovely! many congratulations to your Sister and her Husband on the birth of your beautiful adorable lil girl, also congratulations to you on becoming an Auntie ....I am 55 and i haven't had botox yet lol xxx

[@tijay8507]

I have got excellent DNA and i don't have any wrinkles yet apart from 11's but i have a fringe so who cares lol

Cash buyers only means they don’t want to wait for you to get a mortgage or there’s some reason you won’t be able to get a mortgage on it. You’ll need to ask the agent. Your little niece is gorgeous.

[@chloebrown1336]

City Beaches are all over SEQ! I live on the Gold Coast and they're in Brisbane too.

[@BackpackingBananas]

I never knew! I’ll have to look out for them next time I’m there!

Haha City Beach is Australia wide.

[@dahnahewlett6349]

Just thought I'd let you know I'm pretty sure I have the same soft short sleeved black crop (I actually have several, I just love it). The fabric is so delicate that when I adjusted it I tore a GIANT hole in the back of it when I was boarding a plane (it rode up under my backpack), so be careful with that one 😂😊

[@BackpackingBananas]

Omg no way!! Mine doesn’t feel delicate at all but perhaps I should start being extra careful just in case haha

[@stormer6364]

Great video, enjoy Perth🐕. City Beach was founded on the east coast, in Brisbane City 😉.. Great stores everywhere now.. Bought my first surfboard there as a kid 😎

[@chloecaddamy3668]

Loved watching more day in the life videos!! Sometimes it’s nice to see youtubers and their normal lives x

Yesss love swell in the mornings!

[@angelvillalpando4700]

Have you ever considered doing a tour? Im sure your followers would love to travel with you. Specially first time solo travelers

[@BackpackingBananas]

Hey Angel! Thanks for the suggestion. I'm actually running my first trip next month which I'm so excited about and I'm sure there will be more to come. Feel free to sign up to my mailing list to be first to hear about any future trips! 😊 www.backpackingbananas.com/

[@labonihira]

your sister and you look so much alike. I was so confused when I saw your pregnant sister for a second 🤣🤣

[@BackpackingBananas]

Hahaha I didn’t magically become 9 months preggy overnight 🫣

[@jeffreymore6799]

Good morning Christianna I’m sure you will make a great Auntie congratulation’s. Nothing to comment on for back packing but that’s ok so I’ll compliment you wearing the copper color shirt😉 I wonder if you could find some time to shop for a nice outback hat for me. (Hahaha) just kidding . Have a nice stay with sister and family

[@nikolawright1241]

Being an aunty is the best bloody thing ever! Also the internet is just shocking all over Australia

Your sister has definitely picked up an aussie accent

[@N8turElle]

OK sorry I’m watching and commenting because it’s a lot of comments but we are so alike I refuse to do the dishes my husband does the dishes yep they just won’t get done he knows this

[@MsWenders]

Big congratulations! What did baby Ivy weigh???? Such an important detail you missed out lol Great video, lovely to see you so happy and relaxed with your family xx

[@BackpackingBananas]

Hahaha I think she was 6lb 11oz ☺️

[@everydaysaschool-day7517]

Not sure why her weight is an important detail... maybe Christianne didn't want the little human to be labelled with a number from birth?

I wouldn't recommend that as a foreigner

[@ishaq79]

@@multa7053 but why?

[@multa7053]

@@ishaq79 because you can‘t fully own the land and there‘s many of houses, villas etc. so not easy to get someone to rent it. I wouldn‘t suggest it, but better look into condos in Bangkok or something which sometimes can be 100% in your name. but no good investment either

[@Elinbenfelin]

I thought a cash buyer meant no mortgage, you pay 100% of the fees? not that you've got no chain? I could be wrong though

[@BackpackingBananas]

I thought that too! But when checking with the agent, they said it’s just to have no chain behind you!

@@coraliemarra4235 i agree, even some men don't want to have kids but women force them. Further it depend from country to country and culture to culture. In some countries your life is in danger if you are LGBT, while some countries it is part of their regular life.
