    This week I'm in Spain! I have been volunteering on a farm in a little town called Letur in Castilla-La-Mancha. I got the job through Worldpackers and in exchange for my volunteer work, I get free food and accommodation. I chose this job because I'd never done anything like it before and I also thought it would be a great opportunity to practice my Spanish.

    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 CZcams 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.

    IMO, this is THE way to travel. For a year and a half I traveled through Central and South America doing “WorkAway” (similar to Worldpackers) and what’s funny is when I came to Bolivia to volunteer on a farm, I fell in love with the host and we are now together for over a year hosting people from all over the world to learn all things permaculture. It’s so enriching to see how impacted people are when coming here just as I felt while traveling and volunteering. Happy to finally see you jumping into this way of travel!

    Thank you for sharing this. I am planning a long 3 - 6 month adventure for myself. To learn the ways of homesteading, as part of my mission. To be independent for all that is important. As well as spreading knowledge of woodworking blacksmithing so that people may also thrive. And find those that resonate.
    Seeing an attractive lady like yourself also gives me some hope that perhaps (maybe) I find a partner on the journey. Thank you.

    AMAZING! I found your channel last month when I started planning my backpacking trip starting in Croatia, Montenegro, Albania and ending Greece for the end of September and I am always so eager to watch your videos. I just love how you choose opportunities that take you outside of your comfort zone, while still being safe and connecting with new people and cultures. If there's one thing I've consistently noticed from your videos it's that you aren't afraid of a challenge and you are so respectful. Sending love from SF. ❤
