    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.

    I’ve really enjoyed the cultural / leisure activities that you’ve done throughout the sk trip! Your vlogs of sk and their well-known cities are very refreshing (considering the several SK travel vlogs I’ve watched over the years)- I’m learning new things to add to my itinerary for when I eventually (hopefully) go to sk as well!

    To reduce the cost of accommodation, one way is to get accommodation in the vicinity of 30-40 minutes by subway from Seoul. And you can use the bus card at express buses, taxis, and convenience stores, so you can use it conveniently.

    That’s such a weird thing to say… you get into a Korean bus and it smelled like chicken so you make the assumption that it’s possible every Korean bus could smell like one. That’s so ignorant. Have you thought that maybe someone bought fried chicken to take home or maybe it’s actually you because you also had fried chicken? 💀

    • @gaon1405
      @gaon1405 Před 6 měsíci +3

      She is just sensitive to smell. She said it because she was afraid that telling Koreans that they smell would be seen as racist. She is from a country of white people who only smell fragrant, so the smell of public places in Korea must have been uncomfortable.
