LAND BORDERS / OVERNIGHT BUS JOURNEY (Solo Female Backpacking Ecuador 1)

Hey friends! I am so excited to be entering a new country and taking you along! This (and every other land border crossing) is full of events. It becomes easy with experience but always nerving and long journeys. This one happened to be a very exhausting 26-27 hours by they time we got to our hostel! BUUUUT WELCOME TO ECUADOR!

I have had 2 jobs since I was 15 years old and made sure to save at least 90% of that for travel and school. I always have a temporary job when I am home but hope to be able to travel full time to consistently make videos! -Is traveling solo safe? I want to say the answer to YES! With lots of caution to everything you do and following my ‘basic backpacker rules’ you should be able to remain safe! See here for my backpacker rules: https://youtu.be/SFKaxYND1OM -What has been your favorite countries? I LOVED Mexico, Nicaragua, Colombia and Ecuador. I know this is a lot but they are all amazing for backpacking throughout the country, meeting international friends, and keeping to a backpacker budget!
