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

Hi all,
I've finished my longest way back home, a journey of 161 days crossing 10 different countries and regions. So this episode is about some pracitcal information of the trip: such as how much money did I spend? How did I finance myself? Is it difficult to travel solo? which is the best country? etc.
So I hope those will be interesting for you! And if you have any specific questions, leave me a comment!
大家好！
我终于完成了我的小半个世界环球之旅，161天，经过了了10个不同国家和地区。 这一个视频讲一讲一些有关行程的实际信息，比如说有人问我花了多少钱呀，一个人害怕不害怕呀，我怎么支付旅费啊，哪个国家最好玩，等等。希望这些信息可以回答你们的问题，也作为你们旅行的参考。
对啦！还有什么问题，欢迎评论区留言哦！
祝好！

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.

[@kindface]

I think if you continue to make YT videos, you're going to be very successful. Because watching your videos is very enjoyable and relaxing, while at the same time it is quite educational and even inspirational. Keep up the good work! Jia you!

[@littlechineseeverywhere]

Thank you very much!

[@jackietai1909]

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. I am from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. You are welcomed when you plan to come to visit. I will be happy to host your stay. 👏❤🥰

[@katiirabbi]

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!

[@mohdzaki1089]

I hope more tourist will come to Malaysia from your experiences...

[@bitterale72]

I did and still am in Malaysia

[@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.

Hey Yan, you’re a natural KZbinr, so we like to encourage you in this sort of presentation. You speak very well, honest and straightforward…a very good approach.

[@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.

I discovered your channel a few days ago and think your videos are really well produced and interesting. 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.

[@hhspore]

I am hoping to do solo travel some day. I am a frequent traveller but have never done solo. I really admire you when I saw the countries that you visited in the 3 months. Most of these countries are really the more exotic and always perceived as the more dangerous places to visit especially for a solo female traveller. I hope that you can make a video on travel safety and precaution so that we can learn from your experiences. Thank you. Fan from singapore !

[@iwantgotoiran2080]

Thank you for good information 🙂

[@umehermanski2677]

Hello! I have been watching your videos almost every night lately! They are lovely!!!! I love watching you explore markets, and interviewing local people, and I love your drone footage!

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.❤🤙👏

Thank you, great video. I also did the same in Europe, work a lot and then spend my savings backpacking around Asia and India. Life can change in an instant so always follow your heart and never postpone. I have been severely disabled because of a disease for the past three years so I'm grateful I travelled a lot and did everything I wanted to do so that, even if I die today, I have no regrets. 🤗💖😁 Please, make a series about China, I would love to see the tower where white snake was imprisoned. Yes, many of us love martial arts, legends and traditional cooking. China has changed so much in the last 30 years and, at the speed of light. A big hug 🤗👏😘

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!

OMG 😳 suggestions if can you use better country Taiwan or HK than Switzerland. Boost algorithm wider audience and keep grinding 💪😁🤭most Chinese china uses this country 🤭

[@RoadDestination]

That's a quite decent budget given all the flights you've taken. Personally, I found Hangzhou quite expensive, mainly because hotels refused me or were quite expensive. Not entirely sure whether they were fully booked or just told so to get rid of me. In most places I visited in China it's fine, but some cities have very foreigner unfriendly hotel policies where you can only get expensive hotels (for Chinese standards) or the more dodgy, super cheap places.

[@RoadDestination]

@@littlechineseeverywhere It was late october early november, don't think there was a national holiday. Maybe I was just picky, and it felt expensive as when I arrived, I was used to cheaper prices in the west 🤣
