⭐ About Travel Beans:
Hello and welcome to our channel! We are Alex & Emma, a British couple who have been exploring the world together for over 10 years – from backpacking to vanlife:

2012/13: We both embarked on our own solo backpacking trips through Southeast Asia, where we would eventually meet at a hostel in the mountains of Thailand and begin traveling together. After a year and a half of backpacking around Southeast Asia & Australia, we returned home and to the corporate world!

2015: Travel Beans was born and we filmed our first videos on a road trip around Europe with friends! This was our biggest trip yet.. and you can go back and watch the entire adventure because we filmed ALL of it! This trip took us through Russia, Mongolia & China, on the longest railway journey in the world. Followed by highlights such as staying on a local island in the Maldives for a month, going on safari in Sri Lanka, couchsurfing & hitchhiking in Korea, seeing the snow monkeys in Japan, island hopping in the Philippines, trekking 60km through the centre of Myanmar, exploring the Indian Himalayas, and checking out some of the incredible US National Parks.

2016: Despite an unbelievably memorable year and a half of travels, which we were incredibly grateful to have had the privilege to experience.. we found ourselves in New York City, battling depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head-on.

2017: After 6 tough months at home we decided to go away again, but this time with a goal in mind.. to turn travel into a lifestyle. We left the UK with just £500 in our bank account and a dream to make a continuous travel lifestyle happen! We both got online English teaching jobs to be able to fund our travels and to keep creating videos. We can’t quite believe that our younger selves decided to take this plunge but we are so grateful they did as we are still on this journey today!

What now?
Over the years, we’ve discovered that we LOVE road trips and even decided to renovate our very own little VWT4 van into a campervan to be able to enjoy vanlife and spend more time on the road. We are now the proud owners of 2 awesome little campers – one based in the UK and one that we keep in the USA. You’ll often find us using one of these vans to explore Europe and North America. If you enjoy this kind of content we’d recommend checking out our Italy Road Trip series, USA vanlife series and our Japan in a Tiny Van series as well as our UK vanlife content.

Our time spent overcoming depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. We love sharing the highs and lows of our trips through our videos and hope to spread a little positivity and light to all of the beautiful people who take the time to tune in and watch each week!

  1. From what I can tell, anywhere in the higher latitudes has similar geography, similar flora, similar fauna.

    Australia is a whole different world. We don't have deer, or native bovines of any kind, nor equines nor camels nor cats nor foxes. We do have ferals we'd be better without.

  2. Just watched your q and a, I wondered if there would be a question about if you would rent your home in cicily? I for one would love to be a renter 🙂

  3. Canada is not daunting I drove from southern Ontario to the middle of Mexico with a 3 year old and our dog! You can do. MIT!

  4. Thank you so much for sharing your wedding pictures you to are so cute together love the video love from Pennsylvania

  5. People go to places. They eat things. They look at things. The difference with the beans is the warmth and humour. I'm not sure how to describe warmth. But you both have it.

  6. Honestly I love your videos and you’ve inspired me to follow my dream and buy a vintage camper in the America. I’m interested in purchasing a vehicle from the same place you bought yours D&L autos but I’m just wondering if you know any ways to register a vehicle in the states if you don’t live there?

    Many thanks

  7. Happy 2025!!! and Emma I'm with you – mustache NO!!!! My guy tried it once.. lasted all of 10 mins….I still can't unsee it.. years later! 😭 I can't wait till you come to Canada… please don't forget Cape Breton lol Oh and you mention a travel channel…. did I miss a launch of a new channel?

  8. I love you two – you even make Q&As (the most boring videos) interesting and more importantly, funny. Beautiful wedding pics. Make no plans, just do what you feel – it's been great so far!!

  9. Good luck with everything. I was hoping you would start renovating so we could see the finished product – but can appreciate that isn’t a quick time line. I’m unsubscribing
