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 RU-vid 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.

That's quite a trip! 3 days at sea can be exhausting but it looked like a lot of fun. I'm so sorry you got ill but glad to see the recovery!

@juali222 Год назад

The underwater world looks stunning! I'm so scared of immediately getting sick when stepping on a small boat but hopefully one day I'll do it and give diving a go💕

@LisaBambi Год назад

I loved the underwater footage 😍🐠🐟 After I've finished watching your vlog I continued to watch Grey's Anatomy (S18E3) and in the first few sentences she explains heat exhaustion - what a coincidence 🙈 Good to see that you were feeling better afterwards! 💫

@mrjohnnob152 Месяц назад

Your friend Karen is a real pal that’s a true friend sitting with you like that , respect

All the fish, they look amazing 🥺I love the underwater footage! You've truly inspired me to take my scuba certificate, it's definitely on my bucket list for things to do in the coming year or two 😍

@TheShauNanigans Год назад

This video was phenomenal! The last dive looked like a dream! I so hope I can scuba some day. It is on the top of my bucket list. It looks so phenomenal. I'm worried I'll cry the whole time.

Incredible underwater video! Brings back memories of diving in Thailand, but never been to Similan. I heard it is the best diving area in Thailand. I am glad you are feeling better! This looks like an amazing experience! Thanks for the awesome video!

@mattbilski5837 Год назад

I enjoy watching your diving videos I look forward to seeing more thanks for sharing.

@meganchownvlogs Год назад

I hope you managed to recover ok! I try to drink an electrolyte drink a day (like with a hydration tablet in, or some coconut water works great too) when I’m in hot countries. You don’t want to get hyponatraemia (low salt levels) from just replacing fluids and not electrolytes as you’ll feel weak and headachey etc. Sorry if you already knew this, I don’t mean to be condescending, but hopefully it’ll help others too 🤞🏻

Awesome video. Can’t wait till next year🎉🎉🎉

@JTinney1 Год назад

Heat exhaustion is no joke! Glad you felt better & were able to dive again the next day 😊 I had heat exhaustion in Mexico but was able to overcome with coconuts 🥥

@BackpackingBananas Год назад

I would’ve killed for a coconut on that boat! 😅😅 the heat exhaustion really was no joke, although I managed pretty well the next day, I then had a MASSIVE decline for the following 3 days! Could t stay awake for longer than an hour or so before needing a lie down and nap, also completely lost my appetite. I was like dang - This is really serious!

@Angela-1974 Год назад

Definitely the coolest video I've seen this year 😎🤘 Those fish 😍

@BackpackingBananas Год назад

Thanks Angela 🥹 sooooo many fish 😍🐟🐠🐡

@paulprice7482 Год назад

Such amazing underwater footage with the moray eels, sea snakes and turtle, awesome. I went on a snorkelling excursion once in Thailand but no one explained the method and I ended up drinking sea water through the tube and puking at an Olympic level

@BackpackingBananas Год назад

Oh no 😅😅😅 that’s terrible, I’m not sure how you managed that haha

@stevenmitchell4461 Год назад

I’d be very careful about getting your lip sunburnt again. I had what I thought was a cold sore on my bottom lip that wouldn’t heal. Ended up being a cancer that I had have my bottom lip cut off and the skin pulled forward to form a new lip. I Never go out in sun without zinc on it now. Wish I’d done that before hand. Our little ps need sun protection as well. Keep the great videos coming.

@thanaang1455 Год назад

Interesting, never been to overnight trip in small boat like this. Underwater footage is pristine!

@ItsBrad100 Год назад

I've watched you for a couple of years now and always dreamt of doing stuff like this, I'm currently 4 months into my first solo trip I travelled thailand for 3 months and now driving the whole of aus! This video makes me miss thailand so much. Have you ever dived in Koh Phi Phi. Maya corner is so incredible i left koh tao a month ago and miss diving there 😍 can't wait to do a live aboard here it looks insane!!

@BANGTEEZ_IN_YOUR_AREA Год назад

Wow doing the while.of Australia!! That's no easy journey but very exciting!

@ItsBrad100 Год назад

@confyna1 yes!! That's plan in the end to do the full circle and to of gone fully through the middle.

@jamesmattingly5064 Год назад

That was awesome

@adammason4454 Год назад

Looks really good diving. Im looking at doing a liveaboard there next year. I did one in egypt 2 weeks ago and it was amazing.

@csully214 Год назад

Great vlog! Did you use a go pro for the underwater footage, lights and red filter? I would love to know your camera set up.

@BackpackingBananas Год назад

All underwater footage was filmed on various different GoPros ☺️ no light or red filter but I did colour grade it in editing

@user-ob3ob3ii3u 8 месяцев назад

Which liveaboard is this? I am going to Thailand for the first time in February and a three day live aboard is exactly what I am looking for!

@adamcollinge9021 Год назад

Which manta queen boat was that I have been on 1 and 3 ?

@alinepelzer-minimalistisch1694 10 месяцев назад

Maybe good to know: massages are a no no after diving due to the bends!

@jianhuali6624 2 месяца назад

hello，Is the visibility of seawater unrelated to the new moon and full moon while diving in Similan?

@Sknichy770 7 месяцев назад

Very nice Vlog, as a fellow diver im intressted in trying a Diving Safari aswell. What kind of LVL of Diver are on these Boats only exp? i have around 90 Dives Logged so am i ok to go? You said "grouped around air consumption" depending on deeps ofc. i can go around 50min with the 12l tank for an avg. dive usually people last a bit longer, is this still ok? thx

I miss diving. How much does a live aboard like this cost and do they supply all the equipment or do you need to bring your own?

@BackpackingBananas Год назад

You can expect to pay £500-£1500 depending on the liveaboard you choose (at least in the Similan islands). Doing a liveaboard in other countries may be much more expensive. Usually all equipment is included, yes.

@tarajanssen4602 Год назад

Love this video, it looks amazing! how much does the diving and adventure retreat cost? I would love to do this once but i don't know if I could afford it:))

We’re going to have 2 itineraries next year! All the deets are on this webpage - www.backpackingbananas.com/thailand

@@BackpackingBananas thankyou!

@nadinew.2278 Год назад

why did people leave halfway through the retreat? just bc of time reasons or is the rest only for more experienced divers? just curious 😅☺️

@BackpackingBananas Год назад

People had the option to book the retreat with or without the liveaboard add-on. You had to be at least open-water certified to attend the liveaboard so we didn’t recommend it for those who were just learning to scuba dive for the first time on the retreat (just in case they didn’t like scuba diving and didn’t want to over-commit too soon!)

@thenostalgicguy46 8 месяцев назад

Great stuff. Do they let you take your own equipment tho because ain't no way you gonna catch me using a rental reg or BCD.

@BackpackingBananas 8 месяцев назад

Of course you can bring your own equipment!

Hi i come from Thailand and is my nationality i just wanna tell u if u wanted to visit any type of temples please wear non-reviewing clothes cause is very disrespectful in our country u can wear reviewing clothes but make sure to wear something over it (not forcing)and u have the best journey of ur life -Your local Thai girl :)

@user-ob3ob3ii3u 7 месяцев назад

Was the diving very advanced?

@BackpackingBananas 7 месяцев назад

Not particularly so, the wreck yes, but the rest is suitable for open water divers
