What Happens BEFORE I go travelling // Preparation vlog

[@madelainepearce265]

I just wanted to say that I was so scared to travel solo this time last year and was watching your videos to prepare me!! This year I backpacked 16 countries by myself (10 at the age of 17!!!!). So thank you and keep doing what you’re doing ❤️

[@BackpackingBananas]

Whaaaat?! That is so badass! 🤩🤩

[@theultimatedocumentary8333]

Whould do the same but my parents wont let me 😭

[@JayPalfrey]

loved this! also thankyou for going to the polls even when you were that tight for timing!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Wouldn't have missed it!!

[@mw5218]

Where did you go and did you have any troubles when you were still 17 (e.g. with hostels/ hotels)?

[@EmilyClaireDaly]

Eeeek I think the prep time is one of the most exciting times!

[@dejashu]

Have been wearing my Solo beanie every day since I've had it! MISSING YOU but so excited to see what you get up to!!! 💛

[@BackpackingBananas]

Love youu ❤️❤️❤️

[@SaraSigismondi]

[@clarkman325]

Perfect way to start my winter break! :) Hope you had fun during your layover in Miami!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Aw yay! Thanks Selena ❤️

[@mariofigueroa4248]

I’m from Bogota, I’m glad that your Colombia trip was wonderful. When I was flying to London for holiday, I was very expectant. Finally it was a great experience.

[@clarabracey982]

I have to say your videos are the most detailed and relatable I've seen - I am about to travel South East Asia for 5 months and feel so prepared thanks to your experiences - you are so fun to watch !! Enjoy Colombia

[@passportoadventure]

Can't wait for the Colombia videos! I was there last July and loved it!

[@carsonkinsley7492]

hey christianne, you were a huge motivation in planning my trip, on new year’s day i leave my home state in the USA and fly to costa rica, and i’ll be going to 19 other countries over 7 months!! i’ll be passing thru colombia and ecuador in late january so maybe we will cross paths!!!! keep an eye out for a super short american ginger!!! thank you so much for being such a huge part of the planning process for me :)

[@jasonpetersharpe]

You are totally fun to watch!!! Your videos are really fun and cool 😎! Thanks 🙏🏽 for doing them. -j

[@brynmordey2659]

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks! Greeting from Colombia 🤓

[@natasharisman5839]

Gooooooood vlog myfanwy👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Looking forward to receiving my card 😂 sorry, there is not one on the way to Colombia for you.

[@BackpackingBananas]

I shall wake up lonely on Christmas morning now!

[@liannezonnebeld6377]

hey loved the preparation vlog! One thing that did kinda throw me off was that I had to keep changing the volume cause the clips with music over them are very very loud compared to the parts where you talk.

[@billmccaleb7481]

I really like that fold able mini backpack. Perhaps another product for your line...??

[@explorewithbonnieproductiv7936]

I always get my eyebrows waxed before ton trips lol I hate going away looking like a mess.

[@toocooltanvi]

i love your videos! it's awesome to see the mental checklists that you go through before traveling. i have a question-- what do you do with your apartment while you're gone?

[@wanderlustandsparkle4395]

I know this may sound random but could you do a jewelry collection, I love to see what items travelers pick up and what they take with them when they travel.

[@nickygriffiths7036]

Looking forward to following your adventure! Which airline did you fly out with?

[@BackpackingBananas]

Norwegian and Avianca 😊

[@CarolinSoldOut]

MAJOR TIP (or maybe you are smarter in general :D) Dont put your shampoo in the lush tin when you done. like done ly them in there but let them dry sticking out, because the day will come that you can't get it out anymore. Please dont make the same mistake :D

[@BackpackingBananas]

I got a soap saver to combat that problem! So far so good 😅

[@Goghahahahahaeej]

Smart. I would never think of that until it hapens 😂

[@marie_ls]

Or just let it dry in the lid. I am travelling now for over a year with the containers. I let the shampoo stick to the lid and just cover it with the container.

[@cc-ic7rj]

Excellent! !!

[@travelingskys4551]

How are you liking to Hero8? I'm so torn between the Hero and the Max! Also, are you using the built in mic on the Hero?

[@BackpackingBananas]

I love it!! I've never tried the max though. Yep just using the build in mic 😊

[@sydneyevenblij5469]

What’s the name of the face tan? I tried to find it in store today but I think NZ might not have it so online it is? X

[@eliseemma9031]

Hi Christie! I LOVE your videos and you’ve inspired me to travel and go for it! I’m leaving for Nepal on the 10th of Jan, which is the first of many trips I have planned. I really want to film it all and take loads of pictures, but don’t have anything to do it on (even my phone is naff), I was wondering if you have any budget ideas for a camera I could buy with Xmas money to take with me? As well as 3months in Nepal on ICS, I’ll be travelling Canada over the summer, and then going to Thailand Laos Cambodia and Vietnam next January, so ideally I want something that will last! Thank you so much for inspiring me to go have my own adventures ❤️

[@lizgerdes]

Elise Emma I thought they stopped ICS? Have an amazing time! I went to Nicaragua and it was incredible. X

[@meganwilliams8144]

What are your christmas plans?x

[@BackpackingBananas]

I will be in a city called Cali learning to salsa dance 😊💃🏻

[@jiltedgenerator]

Just don't get the shampoo and conditioner lids mixed up with there bases😉

[@BackpackingBananas]

Haha I'll try not to

[@lordpreminger]

is no one gonna talk about 2:07 how it says D c instead of Dec? Anyways have an amazing trip, can't wait for the next update!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Small glitch 😅 Thanks xxx

[@meganwilliams8144]

Where did you get your desk from?x

[@BackpackingBananas]

Amazon!

[@livingdeadcakes6454]

OMG im so early! LOVE IT

[@BackpackingBananas]

Woohooo 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Kleiduif]

You have two sisters? Looking forward to the vlogs!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Si! 😊

[@greta3475]

hi! i am going to new zealand in ten days and i am really really scared how everything is going to be. maybe i’m not made for traveling, i don’t know. do you have any advice to overcome anxiety like that?

[@BackpackingBananas]

Its totally a normal feeling before you go travelling! Its just a fear of the unknown 😊 do as much research of the place you're going as possible and push through. Everything will make a lot more sense as soon as you arrive and settle in x

[@notablackperson2126]

cool

[@benafluck]

Where you at now? And where you going...Take Care Girl😊😉😮

[@henrithomas2131]

tips to survive a long haul flight?

[@Arnel_A67]

👍💖

[@dcpowered]

The audio in the wind is awful!

[@magda1988g]

I though it's going to be about preparation and there is nothing useful about it or helpful...

[@BackpackingBananas]

It is about preparation 😅 it's about how I prepared myself... I'm unsure what else you'd be expecting from a preparation vlog lol

[@Catyren]

When you see the word “vlog” in a title that means it’s not going to be tutorial/instruction like. Just a tip for when you watch you tube.
