    🤓 I’m Christine and I keep it REAL 💯 and also REAL FUN. I do A LOT of research before I travel to the places I go to, and I take EVERYTHING I learned and EVERYTHING I experienced and I make the travel videos I WISH I GOT TO SEE before I traveled to a place. That’s what you’re seeing in this video. I hope it helps.
    📱I created the first 100 TH-cam videos of this channel using just my iPhone. I both shot and edited everything from my phone (mainly while standing in lines at the airport or sitting on the beach) cuz I’m a non-stop traveler. I’ve evolved (not much! I still film from my phone!) since then. This is a list of…

    Hi dear thank you so much for your videos. Am, you seems to know a lot about it, is it possible to travel to zanzibar and meet a conscious community? yoga people etc? is the island receiving foreigners or covid has stopped all travels?

    Hi :) We’re really struggling to decide on where on the island to stay. We are going for 2 weeks and will spend a couple of days in Stone Town. Is it worth spending the rest of the time I Nungwi? And is there a big difference on the east and west Nungwi?

    hello! Great videos, thank you ... did you travel alone, I am thinking of going on my own but was wondering if Stone Town for instance will be safe enough for a woman alone (obviously will not open myself up for scary situations) but like walking around in the town during the day etc etc ...

      @alchemyroot 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      i disagree with her reply to you. i was there as a solo woman and it was VERY safe. i've traveled to 30 countries solo, this was on top as one of the safest. not sure what her reasons are (never mentioned them?) but it's totally safe.

      This is a great question. It's so hard to answer a question like this because I don't know where else you've traveled (and what "safe" means to you). I’m hoping someone else in the comments might know the answer to this and can help out! .. I personally wouldn't travel here alone.
