After recently becoming first time parents, and our full time travel lifestyle grinding to a halt, we are starting to get restless! In this UK travel vlog, we decide to test out whether it's possible to travel full time with our 8 week old newborn baby.. by just doing it!
We leave our home in Somerset and head north towards the quintessentially English region of the Cotswolds. Here, we stay in a traditional thatched roof cottage (where we give a full house tour) and explore some of the most picturesque villages in the area.

⭐ 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!

here’s a great idea you guys most probably have already had advertising baby products 😂😂😂
😂😂😂craven weren’t they cigarettes ? 8:40
Ok guys before the wee lad Noah starts teething (way off) those amber necklaces really work our Daughter Kaylee was crying all the time and drooling like a gun dog 😂 as soon I was a huge skeptic but I was willing to give anything a go to stop her pain anyway as soon as we put it on her the drooling stopped and she stopped crying as much it works 100%
Hats keep away ear infections and brain chills for sure!!
Hi Beans, if you head toward us in USA, let me know where I could send ahead maybe I could get you a blanket...
Janie
Hi guys. Please don’t panic about getting back to “the big trips”. Many of us really love you documenting the UK tourist destinations and villages. As an Aussie you are helping my wife and I plan our next UK trip …. Very valuable content. More pubs, B&B’s, nice walks, beautiful villages and we’ll be very happy. ❤
Ditto!! Very interesting and entertaining. Love the tiny village of the village :-)
Can’t wait till you connect with Eric and Alison again!
It's amazing how having a baby makes people come up to you , I've had my grandchildren with me and random people just come up and start talking , great to see you both out and about again
Not as cool as puppies 😂
Same with a puppy or cute small dog 😄
So adorable. His little smile at the end😊😊
Right! little natural bean ;))) Oh, I just talk to him through the computer...lol My Texas Accent is just telling telling him HI!
Awesome (and realistic) video! Glad to see you're back, but don't feel afraid to take breaks when you need them. Noah is just so cute! Soak up all of this time with him because children grow up so quickly! Happy and safe adventures to the three of you - you're going to provide Noah with an amazing experience travelling and seeing the world!
The smaller the baby, the easier to travel. It's starts easy and gets harder with toddlers, etc. Enjoy! 😆 Seriously, that baby will be a teenager before you know it.
Exactly, infants are actually pretty easy to travel with. Toddlers are hard, and once they reach 4 or so and really start to need stability so they can do preschool and start making friends for life--then you pretty much need to figure something else out. I have lifelong friends I met when I was 4-6 years old and grew up with...I wouldn't trade them for anything.
Then once they get a little older than toddler, it starts getting easier again. It's just a challenge when they're that age where they're newly mobile but totally uninterested in what's going on around them, unless it's stimulating... 😁
Delay his walking skills and you’ll be fine 😂
I feel this! I would love to travel but I have a 5 year old and I can’t believe how fast that time has come 🥺
Yep tot’s agree with you do it while a newborn.
Alex and Emma welcome back 🎉❤🥰🥰🥰 Noah is too beautiful for words! God Bless
Fancy saying "This is the nicest place you've pissed yourself" to the baby. How nice.
Noah has the best parents!
Keep being you, Beans!
Seeing Brum, like meeting a celebrity! Immediately sent it to my 34 yr old daughter who had a Brum she slept and bathed with.
Noah is beautiful.
It is so adorable seeing you guys with Noah! ❤ you guys are great parents.
Love that❤your back and love the video
That town looks out of a fairy tale 🥰
I love your guys' sense of humour and taking the piss, it's refreshing when so many youtube couples pretend travel is easy and perfect with kids!
Flying the Nest has traveled with a baby/toddler for almost three years, and they just had another baby! Good luck!
There is a village called Ugley, you could always go there 😅
Thanks for sharing another journey with your "little man." My wife and I visited England and the Cotswolds in May, 1984 as our last "blow-out" trip together before starting our family. In March of 1985, our first daughter was born. Interesting timing. ;-)
I’ve always wanted to see England, especially old historic villages ❤ very excited for this video!
Right! I love this video probably one of my favorites!
Alex, that's still where the magic happens. Sleep is magical when you are a parent. 😂
Noah is such a good traveler at 8 weeks old. He'll be an old hand at adventures quickly. Good job you two.
I loved your little excursion! Such a quaint & beautiful little village! Thank you for taking us along. Your little fella gets cuter by the minute! He’s becoming a sweet little man of the world 🌎
Bright sunlight in the eyes and loud noises are key triggers to upset babies, nice scenery just the same thanks. :)
My husband has to stop me from just reaching for babies. They are a joy and are a sign of hope. He is beautiful. Have the best time you can. You will not believe how fast it goes. Our is 23 and I still dream of her at 3 years old all the time. Much joy to your family.
Oh, my! Thank you guys! summer 2022 our family got to visit the UK but we only stopped for tea at Lucy's in Stow-in-the-wold. but i did make them take a photo at the church! What i really wanted to say is that I also became a first time Mom in my thirties and getting a regular out-and-about-in-everyday-life routine with a baby was challenging and took a whole new approach then what I had known before her. but our daughter, now 16, now likes to check out the world, new places, peoples, culture, foods and that's largely because we all stepped out everyday tackled those things together. Cheers to y'all and your dear intrepid family.
I love the way you’re showing the reality of having a newborn. It’s such a challenging time but I swear it gets easier!
As an Edinburgh bean I can safely say I almost choked myself by laughing so hard at Edinburger. May you all have many happy travels together. And come visit Edinburger at some point.
Yes, it's that forever now👍 kinda matches now you have the Burger King.
ah I lived in the Cotswolds for 4 years and this video makes me miss living there so much. I still travel through the Cotswolds to get to work so I at least get a small bit of satisfaction from it. Such a beautiful part of the country.
Traveling with Noah while he’s tiny will acclimate him to travel and changing surroundings. You’ll find your family speed like you did your couple’s speed. Enjoy!
I was taken to Bourton and that museum to see Brum for the day for a primary school trip. A boy in my class dropped his wallet in the stream from that little bridge and we went to one of the shops to buy a net to fish it out. Happy childhood memories. I loved Emma's completely blank expression.
The life you are creating right now for young Noah is going to set the wee lad up for life ❤
Wow, this video really resonated with me! As someone who loves to travel and is considering starting a family, the idea of full-time travel with a newborn is both exciting and intimidating. It's great to see your perspective and hear about your experiences. It's clear that there are challenges involved, but it seems like you've approached it with careful planning and consideration. I appreciate your honesty about the mistakes you've made along the way, as it provides valuable insights for those of us who may be contemplating a similar lifestyle. It's important to remember that every family is different, and what works for one may not work for another. Ultimately, it's about finding a balance that suits your family's needs and prioritizing your child's well-being. Thank you for sharing your story and shedding light on this topic!
I collect old magazines, and I’ve seen that Miniature village in a copy of the National Geographic magazine from the 1930s. I was always fascinated by it, and I’m glad it still exists. If I ever get over there I’ll happily pay £4.50 to see it!
That's amazing.
He's one fortunate baby.
That golden smile from li'l Noah at the end was priceless...❤😍
I think it is great how you are building small trips slowly, to find your feet and work out the logistics of them with a small person in tow. Look forward to seeing your future adventures.
We love you so much, all three of you ❤🎉
Aww loved this video guys! My sister in law got married in Castle combe in 2021 we had some beautiful photo's! My daughter and I were bride'smaids, my daughter dropped her bouquet of the bridge while we were having photo's, luckily we got it back and it didn't go in the water! X
Noah is so cute, when you have a small child everything runs on baby time 😄
I can see why England is regarded as the garden of the world. Loved it.👍😊💙🇮🇪🇬🇧
I love this! My parents took me traveling right away, and I got my first passport for international travel when I was four months old in 1979. I’ve also traveled internationally and domestically with my daughter when she was little. Babywearing was a lifesaver. People think it’s difficult to travel with kids, but I have traveled with other adults, and sometimes it feels like I’m herding cats and juggling a preschool with just a single adult travel partner, lol. Babies are the easy ones.
So happy to see your beautiful family. I never knew England had blue bonnets. I havent seen them since my family went on trips to Texas. I am 70 now and live in Las Vegas. I would have loved to visit England. Take care and have fun. The scenery is so pretty.
Happy Mother’s Day 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Loved the smile at the end from Noah. He's going to be a natural in front of the camera. What a flirt!
Yay! So glad to see you again! What a great first outing. Such beautiful little villages. The more you journey out with Noah, the more comfortable he will become with traveling. I look forward to see more of you!
I like the idea of calling towns whatever the hell we want! That’s the way it should be!! Love you both, Alex and Emma. And little Noah too!
he's perfection Baby Bean
Little Noah Bean is a perfect mix of mom and dad. Adorable. A beautiful trip with spectacular visuals. So glad to see you guys! Blessings to you all!
Emma looks radiant and Alex is just Alex....lovely to see.
Little Noah is in good hands
Noah is so 😍 cute . Enjoy your travels
I see Noah is already happy to be on RUclips; what a darling! I admire your guts to keep traveling when everything takes twice as long to accomplish but thank you for doing it! PS - I live in Missouri, but LOVE England, I've been to all the little towns you went to in todays video - can't get enough!
That is a beautiful cottage, but I am pleased I don't own it. I lived in a cottage, in a village many years ago. It had stone walls two feet thick, and roof timbers with the original bark, exposed roof beams in the ceilings. It was built in 1564 and was in need of bringing to modern building standards.
You two look like such lovely parents! I have been to England 5 times but never to the Cotswolds. So incredibly beautiful!
Hey thanks a lot for sharing your newborns journey with us. It is a pleasure to see you on the road with him. Emma, a small comment about immunization. Best gift you can make to Noah is breastfeeding him as long as possible. With our now 8year old boy, we where avoiding salt and sugar for the first two years. Might needs a bit more time to prepare the food, but it was worth to do it. This helps to build up a good imune system. Looking forward for new videos about you three-beans 😃
Brum! We’re Dutch expats so my kids grew up speaking English. They always watched CBBC and loved Brum 😁
Baby Bean Noah is beautiful. I loved this village tour.
This was so much fun to watch. I live in Michigan, but my husband and I had friends in the Wiltshire area of the UK. We visited them for three weeks in 1980. We stayed in Hullavington but traveled around the area. The thatched roofs fascinated me. We saw many of the places you visited, including the miniature village. That was really fascinating! There was even music playing in the miniature church!
Glad you are getting back to traveling with baby. He's so cute!
that's true I found it easier working around the baby's schedule, even now that my child is 6, like driving when I know he needs his afternoon nap. The Drive-thrus were made for parents with infants. I remember when my baby just fell asleep and I'd be hungry and decided to go through a drive through just so I can have a little bit of something in my tummy without disturbing the baby. Also a helpful tip, I used to have a sleeping baby CD songs running on loop in my car. most of the time it helped a lot and kept my baby calm. now that he's 6 he just wants to hear Encanto CD and talk me through the songs and what scene it's happening in the car. ( I know CD's may be out dated, but my Subaru still has a CD player so I utilize it.)
You saw Brum! Alex, it is your duty as father and partner to source it and educate Emma and Noah! Missed you guys!
Hi A/E/N, I agree traveling with infant is so much easier. My son traveled abroad to visit grandparents/families at 3 mos. He visited a dozen countries before 1 yr.old. flight over / back slept, ate, diapers changes, Repeat. Visiting Scandinavia in deeps snows of winter (-30 +F). Took daily strolls outside, and dressed in many layers. Little planning, and several day packs set up, so you were always prepared for anything that may arise . I always mapped out a traveling route with pharmacy & health food stores just incase a cold or ear infection started up. You are such a lovely family unit!!!💜🌸🌷🌸💜 (Posted from WI/AR USA)
Lovely to see you guys back!
We had Brum in Australia as well, love him!! ❤
Your little man is so adorable, thanks for sharing him with us.
Love the cottage, what a great experience.
You all are so enjoyable! Happy and easy going.
You’ve got this guys! So happy for you ❤
Good to see you back on the channel. Noah is lucky to have parents like you and he is very lucky to be travelling at such a young age and I'm sure he will be proud of you (parents) to see these videos when he grows up. These will be great memories for him as well as for two of you as parents. 😊
Love seeing the little guy, he is sooooo cute. It's good to take them with you, as he will adjust to the travels and become very accustom to it. Precious Precious Precious
Yes it is ❤

Even Kiwis know of Brum!!! loved it as a kid, now on my bucket list to go to this museum to see the real Brum!
Also amazing to see you guys out traveling with Noah, love seeing whatever you are up to and im sure im not the only one that isnt super fussy about, just that somethings coming out from you guys, love your sense of humour, always enjoyable!
Welcome back! Great to see you feel up to travelling again.. this time with Nathan
Lovely to have you 3 back! Look forward to upcoming adventures no matter how small....
Such a beautiful family. Noah is adorable!
We took our six week old from Chicago to Mexico for six weeks in a VW campervan. Since I was breastfeeding no food and bottles etc. less baggage to take and no worries about the water. most people thought we were crazy,, but we had a great time with no problems. I would do it again if asked
Good for you! You'll do awesome, and Noah will have the most amazing childhood!
❤ So happy for you guys 🎉
Awesome to see the 3 beans ❤
Aww little man is getting bigger and love the smiles he gives. Beautiful place you guys stayed at.
Welcome back on your travels,I love your videos
Your videos are really interesting and funny. I look forward to them each week!!! Noah is precious! Stay well and safe!
Oh my ❤, he’s precious. This was delightful.
