In this USA travel vlog, we try boondocking for the first time in Sedona, Arizona! Boondocking, or dry camping, is essentially camping in your car, RV or campervan without any hookups (water, electricity etc.) We decide to try it out for the first time and it was an absolute success! Boondocking in Sedona was easier than we expected. We found 2 great boondocking spots in the public lands surrounding Sedona, met some interesting neighbors and tried White Claw Hard Seltzer for the first time. We even got to see some of the local wildlife, waking to the sight of a coyote outside our campervan in the morning. We are truly falling in love with our American van life adventure!

⭐ About Travel Beans:
Welcome to the official Travel Beans KZbin 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!

In another time you would have been called "hippies"! Love your lifestyle!

[@TheGodExperiments]

Emma "I Love America" - Don't be too surprised, but we love you too! Great episode!

[@DDIII3]

Here here!

[@TravelBeans]

Aw you guuuyyyys ☺️

[@SeniaYam]

Thank you for the exciting free content!

[@mariondiemert430]

Alex, your photoengraving is amazing.

[@DDIII3]

What a nice camper van. I agree with Terese, the joy on your face Emma, at sunrise, was amazing. That is the best advertising the travel van company could hope for. Thanks for another great vlog of the Southwest US.

[@robincloud7744]

My father would take us down in the hills of Ohio in a tent, in the middle of nowhere. We had what we thought was a rock under the floor of the tent. In the morning it had moved, it was a box turtle! The only howling we heard was cool dogs hunting! Love you guys!

[@allegra1236]

Oh Emma!! I loved the joy in your face when you opened the van doors to watch the sunrise! The music you chose for that piece was perfect. Thanks to you or Alex for the beautiful editing! You probably could spend years traveling the US as it is so very big! Loving your vlogs. Continued safe travels.

[@TravelBeans]

Thanks so much Terese! That means a lot 🙏 we've loved filming/editing this series.. so glad you're enjoying it

[@betsyduane3461]

White Claw is a flavored malt beverage. The alcohol in White Claw Hard Seltzer comes from fermented sugars derived from malted gluten-free grains.

[@kenreilley1434]

Been binge-watching your vids and I have to admit that my favorites are where you're traveling around our home, Arizona. We've been to all the places in your vids more than once, but it's so refreshing seeing them through your eyes. We travel in a 42' Class A, so it's a bit more glampy, but we do still love to boondock whenever possible; the National Forests just outside of Grand Canyon park are our favorites... that they're only 3 hours from home is a big bonus. With fuel prices -- especially diesel -- going through the roof this year, we're sticking much closer to home in our travels. We have at least a half dozen trips scheduled for the rest of the year and none of them are more than 500-600 miles away. We leave for Grand Canyon to Durango to Taos to Flagstaff in a couple weeks, and that's our longest planned trip... which is nothing compared to the 5k miles we typically rack up in one trip. Truth be told, we're very much looking forward to all these shorter trips... should be a fun change of pace. Be safe out there :)

[@mariezp]

I must be out of the loop. I've never heard of White Claw. Maybe it's popular among boondockers? lol! Not surprised that you ran into some unique travelers out there. Seems like the "interesting people" you meet when traveling are often the hardest people to forget. Definitely a big part of the memories we make. We used to camp for 2 weeks in one of the national forests in Colorado. I called it roughing it... even though we were in a motor home. We did not have electricity or hookups and had to haul in water but did have a generator. Thankfully, we came to our senses and stay in hotels now. I am just not cut out for camping anymore. I am glad the both of you are enjoying your travels in the USA so much. Too bad for us if we miss out on a free video or two every now and then but totally worth it to know you are out there having fun and making even more video content to share with us later.

[@Melissa-wx4lu]

White Claw is pretty popular with the Keto crowd and anyone who is watching their carb intake. Black Cherry is the only one I can stand though. Never been Boondocking before. Never really used a camper. We've always been tent people. closest I got to that is In Girl scouts they taught us how to camp "Off-Grid" They took us up the mountain to an undeveloped campsite. Meaning we had to dig our own toilets. Make our own fire site and cooking area. no benches, so you had to eat sitting on the ground or standing up. Though many of us found large logs we rolled over to use as a bench until we chopped it up for firewood. We all built our own lean-tos out of branches and how to make a bed out of the leaflitter and the best place to build one in case of rain so you're not in a puddle or flood area.

[@kelsiehutchinson5306]

My husband and I spent 4 months this summer camping all around Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and Montana. I felt like we barely scratched the surface of what there is to see! We just got back from a long weekend of mountain biking in Sedona. So beautiful!

[@stacyelliott3491]

I love boondocking in our van! It’s the best way to camp. Glad you met some of the “good” weird folks while you had your adventures in the US. I’ve really enjoyed your van life episodes.

[@BrendanExplores]

Always wanted to travel around the US! Looks awesome guys! 😊

[@laurarodger3028]

It’s going to be awesome following Frank and Beans in the US 🤩

[@bentheredonethat5541]

Bird tip. If birds sound happy in the morning then the weather will be nice.

[@mountainhobo]

Never heard of the White Claw. Mild alcoholic flavored drinks used to be a thing for a while a couple of decades ago, then kind of faded away. I guess from time to time some company will try to revive it. In the end beer always wins.

[@TheMarshallmallow]

Love your channel, you should have many, many more subs. This America trip has been excellent!

[@TravelBeans]

Thanks Mike 👍 we've had a blast making it

[@robmyers9239]

Lucky me first to watch this amazing video. Once again brilliant content and well edited, can’t wait for the next one.

[@TravelBeans]

Thanks so much Andy! 🙌

[@iRoehl]

Welcome to America. Been a subscriber since your adventures from the beautiful Philippines, the country I still call home. I love Sedona. It’s 6 hrs away from where I live in California and every spring we visit it to mountain bike. In fact, we always boondock on the same spot where you stayed the first night with our campervan. Have a great adventure.

[@randyholloway920]

White Claw is the modern wine cooler from the 1970s, most popular was called Bartlesville & James.

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

Yeah, 2 weeks is hardly enough time to do anything in America really. We used to go on 2 or 3 week vacations when I was growing up, and they usually involved a bit of a large loop of some sort where we didn't backtrack over the same roadway coming and going. Only one trip did we do that and that was out to Colorado and back because there was only one basic way to get there and back.

[@TravelBeans]

It's just too damn big and too much to see! Guess we'll just have to come back again.. what a shame 😁

[@tonytiangco]

There's lots of boondocking spots in Northern Arizona. I saw elk, a red wolf and other animals.

[@TravelBeans]

Nice!

[@sids7658]

That may be fox... Not wolf...

[@danielgarrett979]

Werewolf... There wolf. (from movie Young Frankenstein)

[@blowba]

Find yourself an A&W restaurant and get a root beer float or get yourself some good root beer and some good vanilla ice cream some cups and make them.

[@Marathon1260]

You inspire me to go camping. I reserved a Tesla Cybertruck and one of things I will do when I get it is go camping. Thanks for the video. I love America too!

[@TravelBeans]

Nice! Enjoy!!

[@debramoss4089]

LOVE this series...the music fits in well also...Thanks

[@a00141799]

👍👍👍👍👍👍 I don't see a link to your Patreon!? This has become probably my favorite channel. ⭐⭐⭐Whenever you post a video I immediately go and watch it and it never disappoints.⭐⭐⭐ As a matter of fact it always exceeds whatever expectations I have. ⭐⭐⭐ I love the smart commentary that accompany your videos and the videography is always stunning and so well edited. Would love to support your channel. BTW I live in Seattle.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@TravelBeans]

Wow.. what a comment! It genuinely has made our day and put big smiles on our faces to hear how much you love our videos.. 🙏 thank you for taking the time to write this. We hope to visit Seattle on our next trip.. 🌎

[@Archit]

I love this video! you've come a long way! congrats on 63K subscribers 😍😍

[@Nevada_Dan]

Glad you're enjoying my corner of the US. New Years greetings from Henderson, Nevada!

[@cindyrichelderfer7625]

Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!!! 🥰

[@sadmadworld8889]

Beautiful special place

[@billvegas8146]

If you are visiting from abroad and your time is limited you should have just focus on Utah. 5 National parks many, many great state parks and untold acres of public lands for free, secluded boondocking. But the big tip is use Las Vegas as your entry point. From LV you're just a mornings drive to The Grand Canyon or Zion or Sequoia or Malibu or a 2 hour drive to Death Valley.

[@TravelBeans]

Yes, unfortunately our van wasn't suitable for below freezing temperatures.. otherwise we would have love to spend more time in Utah. We'll have to spend longer there on our next trip 👍

[@billvegas8146]

@@TravelBeans Yeah the best month to tour the Southwest is September. It is cooling off but not not cold and the kids are back in school so most of the other tourists are adults. The Grand Canyon for example is great anytime but September is the best. The weather is fine and the crowds are more than manageable. But sometimes it's better to 'just do it' than strive for perfection. Waiting to get everything just right often results in not ever going.

[@Rehanshahzad]

Simply Superb ..

[@MalcolmPaulBroyard05]

The fire outside your door looked so cozy. Beautiful place🔥

[@discojelly]

I always love it when you guys visit here! Arizona is a beautiful area.. I hope to get out there to do some landscape photos!

[@user-us6ce7me8k]

Great scenery and footage! 💙🧡

[@LyndaLou2002]

I'm so glad you got to see Sedona. I love it. That's why we gave you our maps to Sedona when we met you in Page. When you come to Utah, you need to visit Goblin Valley. It's a really strange and interesting place.

[@misterednwilbur2292]

Hello again TravelBeans! I’m one of your former subscribers during your Philippine travel series! I’ve become a subscriber again and look forward to many travel series again! BTW, have u considered traveling in the east coast specifically Charleston, SC?

[@jeffersonnavas6595]

Sedona is an amazing place. I hopd I could meet you here in Arizona.

[@PocketTrailblazer]

Always keeping it real, you guys kick ass! Lovin your work 😉💪

[@treasurehuntfoodies]

Lovely camping spot! We plan to go out west soon !!

[@susannortham11.11]

Loving your channel from Oro Valley, Arizona!

[@randyherbrechtsmeier4796]

Boondock. The Word. Comes from G.I.s returning from The Philippines. What the Locals called the Brush. Brought it Back Home. Have Fun Kids

[@magecraft2]

Another win for the mighty reds and another Beans vid what a good day this is :) #YNWA

[@barrylevitt1170]

Watch out for the rattlesnakes!!! Enjoy America, next trip come to Colorado.

[@chrisdickinson3168]

A new word to add to the travel beans drinking bingo game 'boondocking' to go along with other classics such as turkish mezze, digital nomads and YHA

[@PaulAlexander48]

Done Wild Camping in the UK and have the USA and Europe on our list to do :-)

[@randyherbrechtsmeier4796]

Im so Happy ya found America!!!! Ya Like it?

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

That pesky work always gets in the way ;)

[@JSingh_8185]

Just wanted to know how you came up with this name Travel Beans? What does it mean actually?

[@blowba]

Get some creme soda. It's so good!

[@Divinefeminine888]

Can you talk about how you edit your videos and what you use to edit? Filters, music, etc.? Thanks!

[@3HOUSEOFFICIAL]

i tried drinking 12 cans the other day lol!

[@blowba]

Don't worry about the coyotes. Unless you have dogs (especially small ones), cats, or very small children you should be fine.

[@dalemoore1308]

You could come to Decatur Alabama, where I live and see coyotes.

[@tonytiangco]

Did you go on any hikes? There's so many in Sedona.

[@TravelBeans]

Only a couple.. I wish we had more time there 😔

[@blowba]

I hope you made some S'mores.

[@DVaccarelli1988]

That couple's van conversion is not a Ford Transit, it's a Ram Promaster, which is a rebadged Fiat Ducato from Europe.

[@billvegas8146]

Fiat bought Chrysler and makes Rams in the USofA.

[@DC-jb7oz]

White Claw? Never heard of it.

[@Nubianette]

That Claw drink I think is only big in areas that have mostly bad booze. Ok, or young women on a diet. Otherwise, I’ll stick to gin, seltzer, and lime if I want to cut the calories. Hehe! Oh, coyotes are everywhere. My friend took a picture of one 2 days ago in San Francisco near Golden Gate Park. I’m sure they hang out in Manhattan and Central Park. Yeah this country is filled with strange people on the fringes. I’ve kept “car camping” to a minimum because of the weirdos.

[@juannatan1409]

How do You guys get along so well, what are your astrology signs.

[@crs7937]

astrology . a load of crap

[@juannatan1409]

Your attitude is a load of crap, lol. Negative Nancy.

[@gusbert]

I can't stand it anymore! It's vortices, VORTICES! even though they don't exist >:-( Sorry about the rant, yet another great video, you can't fake genuine emotions like yours.

[@mariezp]

I have never heard of vortices so I was curious. According to a quick google search, the majority of responses list both vortexes and vortices as correct for the plural of vortex.

[@gusbert]

@@mariezp Well, I will admit the word vortexes is in common usage (although it seems a bit ugly to my ear), but since vortex comes from the Latin vortex meaning eddy, the Latin plural is vortices, which, as a native English speaker, is what I was taught. But I am an old pedant, so can be safely ignored!

[@mariezp]

@@gusbert, I initially just assumed that perhaps vortices might have been a scientific term. Thanks for taking the time to explain the Latin origin. Languages can be fascinating. And since you fessed up, just to be fair, I admit that I have a few words that annoy me as well.

[@gusbert]

@@mariezp Thanks, it's nice to have a civilized discussion about totally unimportant matters without them blowing up into a giant crapstorm. I've been told that this sometimes happens in KZbin comments :-)

[@mariezp]

@@gusbert, thank you! You made my day! The entire time I was writing my post I was holding my breath and hoping it would not come across offensive. You have to be extra careful with every single word you write these days! It is indeed fantastic to actually have a conversation without it resulting in drama! If you have never been on the receiving end of one of the crapstorm instigators you have been very lucky. One of my most recent comments on a different video was directed specifically in support of another person's comment. I got attacked and then they started directly insulting me. I've been a little shy about posting since then so thank you for proving that there are still good folks out there who don't actually mind carrying on a conversation.

[@caulkins69]

So next time they're going to be complaining about the "huge" gaps in public restroom stalls. More predictable Britardedness.

[@TravelBeans]

I do love a good pun 👍 well done

[@neoanderson726]

I think like you Alec

[@johnc3403]

..so it's kinda like dogging, but without all the discarded tissues

Please tell me that you had a tamale.
