  • Here is our story of how we met in Thailand in 2012 way before we became digital nomads. We were both on our own solo journeys before meeting in Pai (Spicy Pai) after a series of coincidences lead us both there.

      Edit: wow, truly incredible story. I’m speechless! Alex everything happens for a reason as I’m sure you know; life works in amazing ways!! 5 years (or more not sure) later y’all have made beautiful memories, traveled to breathtaking parks and monuments!! Most excitingly y’all recently found out Emma is pregnant & y’all are having a baby!! So excited to meet little baby travel bean and watch y’all’s journey after baby is here 🤗👶🏼 can’t think of two more deserving people to become new parents, such sweet genuine souls! Plus you two are truly such an inspiration and a HUGE motivator to follow my dreams, be happy, and to step outside my comfort zone! Love love love this channel and it’s relatability. I can sit here for hours watching videos on this channel and not realize it’s been hours 😂🤦🏽‍♀️ feels like an 1 or so to me 🤷🏽‍♀️ so funny, real, and humble. Very very very happy I stumbled across Travel Beans somehow! Been telling all my friends and family to subscribe as we all like to tent camp, travel and try new foods/go to food festivals close to us in the States! Keep up the amazing work and stay happy healthy and safe out there it’s a crazy crazy world out there right now sadly. ❤❤❤❤

    I know you posted this five years ago, but… I think I was meant to watch this today. This will be the fourth Valentine’s Day since I lost my husband to cancer, and I miss him terribly, as you might imagine. We, too, had one of “ those” meetings, involving a summer algebra class, my tendency to transpose digits and showing up in the right class but the absolutely WRONG section, and the algebra teacher from hell. I think the only reason my husband and I stayed in that class for two weeks was so we had an excuse to keep meeting up! Anyway, instead of feeling sad, I’m laughing and remembering our first date, where he impressed me by forgetting to bring any money followed by me impressing HIM by locking my keys in the car!

I've come to realize how much I really don't know about you guys which is normal because I thought for the longest that beans was his last name and now I know how you met and that's why you call it means and travel beans I didn't know you called it travel beans..... And from United States of America I live in Michigan born and raised..... I think you're the most adorable couple I've been watching you a lot I'm sorry about your recent van issues but understand that things do get better life does get better even with some setbacks I think your story is amazing and that it was meant to be that you find each other keep traveling travel beans and I'll keep watching
