    ⭐ About Travel Beans:
    Welcome to the official Travel Beans RUclips channel! On this channel, you’ll find a variety of travel and vlog content, in which you’ll see us in places like Thailand, Japan, USA, Slovenia, and more.
    In 2017 we left home with just £500 in our bank account and a dream to make a sustainable travel lifestyle happen! We are now living our dream as digital nomads and want to inspire you to create your own story, whatever it may be!
    After 5 years of aimless, yet enjoyable, backpacking around the world we found ourselves in New York City battling with depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head-on. 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.
    Our time spent battling depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. In our vlogs, we talk openly and honestly about our travel experiences, the digital nomad life and depression. We hope our videos can help to inspire you to create a life that makes you happy!

    I like to thank you for bringing us along on your adventure with you I try to surround myself with genuinely nice good people on RUclips who can uplift me and give me a positive view on life because I’ve seen way too much horrible things up until now and you both are an uplifting influence on my life and I thank you both so very much Beans

    I can actually relate to what you said about planning a trip and reflecting on your travels. Yes slow mornings and sometimes getting lost in the moment is amazing but to have a plan is what gets us going. Also I feel reflecting is what makes us actually grow and appreciate travel so much.
    Absolutely loved this winter van life series guys.🥂

    Welcome home guys. Have loved watching your videos for what has been an epic European tour part 1. I fully agree with you not giving exact location as your channel has been about your van life and hoping others may take the plunge on their own van life. Cant wait for more adventures both nationally and internationally, stay safe guys and take care.

    Really enjoyed this series, thank you. It’s great to see some of the amazing place’s you have visited as well as the interaction with the weather and the amazing wildlife 🐺. I have never travelled and at the age of 55 going on 56, along with my wife have decided to (at some stage) try out full time van life, even if it’s just for a short time and get some of the wanderlust out of our system before we get too old. Take care guys and look forward to watching your new adventures.

    Thank you Beans for having us along on your adventure. I've enjoyed every twist and turn and admire your "can do" style. I totally get your reflections on plans -v- freedom, the latter can be weirdly disconcerting. My motto is to have a plan to guide you on, but not be tied strictly to it. If a diversion comes along that you want to follow - break the plan!! Thanks again, and look forward to more fun!!

    Loved watching the winter tour, you guys are such fun to watch. Fully get your point, permanently living in a van must be incredibly difficult even though it has this magic about it. I as you need some structure in my life and having a plan certainly helps. Look forward to the next video , this time without the bean machine.

Great contents, interesting your view about van life. I appreciate your honest talk! Quitting full van life didn't mean for me to quit watching - I see two of you as very interesting human being to share your life. I will be enjoying future postings. A great channel - Please keep up!👍

    It's been a great series but I'm looking forward to some non-vanlife Beans again.
    A campervan can save you a lot of money travelling, but you've still got the initial cost of getting one. And if you're renting one, the charges and security deposit can be enormous. A hotel stay, I can aspire to!
    Plus, you can't beat the comfort of a nice hotel room with plenty of space, hot and cold running water, climate control and all the modcons.
    Enjoy your next adventure! Here we come refried Travel Beans

    @AngelaBrinker 2 года назад +2

    Good for you for being considerate in how much you share locations. It wouldn't even occur to many people that sharing an exact spot could be a problem. Your point about how you are aware that you can choose or not choose van life really says a lot about how thoughtful you are as well. I'm impressed too with how you lived so continuously in your van, I think I would enjoy it for a weekend or so, especially camping out somewhere beautiful (or in a campground where I would have access to bathrooms) but I don't think I'd ever feel comfortable stealth camping in a city.

    Your perspectives make perfect sense to me. I’m looking forward to your future series - both with the van and without. I’m firmly in middle age now and definitely enjoy a good hotel - but a van trip still seems fun - though for me it would need to be a few weeks at max.

  • @angelamouland8012
    @angelamouland8012 2 года назад

    What a gorgeous ending to this video and to the winter vanlife series. I got all emotional. The series has kept me company over the last few days. It is so healthy to look back and reflect on what you have experienced and learnt about yourselves. Looking forward to the next episodes, although I am scared for what is coming in Amercia (again, so pleased you are both ok).

I'm looking forward to every adventure that you choose to share with us in the future! I started watching your videos with your Italy series, that you filmed just before the pandemic hit. You were enjoyable to watch then, but I've got to say that your videos have just got better and better, BBC worthy, but with the personal connection with your audience that only RUclips can provide. I have so much admiration for the two of you, you're living the bean! 💚😆

I personally love to plan ahead, not to the tiny details but a framework of where I want to go and what activities I want to do, this is going to be my debut Van trip and I am super excited and nervous about it! Thank you for sharing your trip with us! Excited to see where life takes you in the next chapter! x

    Thank you for this amazing series. You started your 3 month European adventure about when my daughter and I returned from a long delayed 3 month European adventure. So it has almost been like an awesome extension of our trip. I had only planned a couple of weeks in France for my daughter and a couple of months in Italy. Truth is I fell in love with France and you found my favorite spot Annecy! (And Chamonix) We are planning to do Western and Central France in the fall after Ireland! Again, thanks for the inspiration!

    I've always viewed this channel as a travel vloggers channel rather than a van lifer channel. The videos you've made whilst doing your little van life stint has been great, I've always felt that there was a little something missing. The travel series you've done has always been, for me, a reason to keep coming back to this channel every week. Good luck with your future adventures and I can't wait to see more from you guys.

    Nice one guys. All totally understandable. Much nicer to have the van and bugger off somewhere every 3-4 months or so. Having a structure to your plans as opposed to totally winging it also helps I think. Thanks for the fun and humour that is always a part of Beanie Adventures. Taker care of each other.

    Would LOVE to see you guys make your way through Norway!!!! It looks so epic and has been on my "someday" list for so long but also feels like it would take a lot more planning/driving/$ than other places so have not been yet - so would really enjoy living vicariously through your travels there! But I enjoy all your travels to wherever you go!
