⭐ 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!

Wow….awesome seeing Noah walking!! Go Noah!!

[@arlenesolis024]

Omg baby Noah (aka baby bean) is so adorable 🥰 all you need to do is look at his smiling face and forget about any storm. Gale winds 💨 , crashing 🌊, and uncontrollable swinging cranes 🏗️ is nothing compared to the adorable Noah laugh ( and sneeze) to distract from natural disaster lol. There’s always light ( or beautiful day) after the storm. Just brace it and have fun.

[@annspires8380]

"Follow the sun, they said!" Emma is such a good sport!

Yeah but that's NORTHERN Spain, it's hardly Spain... They need to get south to Murcia.

[@katavy8944]

Listen guys you are in the wrong part of Spain. You are getting all the bad weather because you are right at the bottom of the Bay Of Biscay and all the Atlantic storms roll in there. Head south all the way to the very South of Spain - Andalucia. When we say go south we mean all the way south to to Mediteranean coast on the Straits of Gibraltar. Good luck. xxx

[@HensOnly]

Yes go ALL the way south!

"wrong part of Spain"😂😂 How dare you to call the north wrong😅

Loved Noah playing with his reflection in the mirror! Thank you so much for sharing❤

[@jml4774]

We decided to come to Nice, France (from Boston, MA, USA) to get away from the cold and snow. It has been wonderful. Around 60 (F) most days, it is sunny and the sky is always blue. We chuckle at the locals who zip around in full winter gear, long coats, hats, scarves, and gloves, thinking that the weather is cold When we left Boston there was snow on the ground and the temperature gauge read 14 (that's 16 degrees below zero in Fahrenheit.) PS Yeah Noah! Walking :)!

[@kookietherapy9398]

Your blood thins in warmer climates. You would dress the same if you lived in Nice a few years. I lived in Hawaii 12yrs, we don't swim in the winter. I grew up in Boston Proper.

I feel like I'm watching " I Love Lucy." You guys are so funny, and I love it. Thank you for the laughter and for sharing your journey with us❤.

[@nigelreadon8381]

Seville in Southern Spain is 17c.......I checked the weather map.

[@AngelaBrinker]

I think with those cranes they are actually set up to spin freely (or the brake is turned off) when the winds get up to a certain level so that they don't break off. It looks wild, but it's actually a lot safer.

[@gaeldejonge]

Noah looks like a lot of cheeky fun now 😀🥰 Crikey, that wind 😮

[@star_etraWrites]

I am one of those Americans that says hi and wishes people a good day. I am from the southern part of the US. Hospitality and kindness and politeness goes a long way. I now live in the Northern part of the country and it is another world. Less people say hi. Most people are rushing off somewhere and look at me funny when I try to strike up a conversation over the bananas. A few kind words costs nothing! And maybe you help someone's day!!!!

The west coast is always going to give you the weather fronts coming in. Great to see Noah walking ❤️

[@lucienhikingdroneflying2543]

17:39 about the construction crane. this is normal as it rotates freely due to the wind. If it didn't do that, it would actually be dangerous. think of it as a weather vane.

[@soxrox2574]

Windy, windy and More wind... the theme of this video. Noah is growing up fast... walking already 🚶‍♂️

I think you found your new mode of travel now that you have a toddler! You could stay at unique places and give us tours of them - that would be fun!

[@cherilangguth2151]

Cant believe Noah is walking already! My dad and i had a similar storm experience in our pickup camper in Nova Scotia many years ago. It was so windy and cold, in August mind you, that we had to turn the furnace on. Then we had to unhook everything and turn the truck camper to face the other way because the wind was blowing the furnace flame out. We were supposed to take a ferry to Prince Edward Island the next day but it was cancelled because waves were too rough. That was a crazy few days

[@dennisrittershofer9263]

I'm in the eastern half of Tennessee and its 80 degress F today !!! 🤠

[@yvonnekneeshaw2784]

You are right…if you were out in the States or Canada you’d have had an instant greet/invite. Never seen such a cramped van park…r u sure u weren’t on a “for sale” lot 😅 🇨🇦 ❤

[@princesa_fugitiva]

I lived in Barcelona for 4 years and I wouldn't be going to the Pyrenees at this time of year, burrrr. But if you must, Ribes de Freser is an adorable town to stay. From there you could visit Queralbs, a beautiful village all of stone buildings, and maybe make it up to Vall de Nuria. After (or instead of) the Pyrenees you might want to head to Barcelona, if there's a place to park. I spent Christmas and New Years in Barceloneta last year and there were many days I could lie on the beach in my bathing suit midday, which is typical, specially now, a great time to be there.

[@eleanorcramer7986]

Watched you again even with the grays. We too had rain in Spain. You just make it fun without sun. You’ve got your own Noah so there is bound to be son-shine paired with rainbows.

[@princesa_fugitiva]

Get out of the water crazy boy!!! Ufff, that view at 18:00 gave me goosebumps, Sanse is so beautiful. There are some really beautiful beaches on the Bilbao coast, Playa de Sopelana and Arrietara hondartza, and the Bilbao old town is enchanting, I hope you get a chance to see them. And it's cheaper there than San Sebastian.

[@lw7240]

It’s always worse near the sea. ❤

[@Shelbourneworld]

Highly entertaining, thank you. Funnily enough we took off in April last year to go ‘Around the Pyrenees’ in our Ducato van, and encountered wind and rain there too! We headed off to the Med coast via Huesca and Valderobres (‘one of Spain’s most beautiful towns’) and Miravet hitting the sea at Peñiscola (funny name!) which was fabulous, with its promontory, promenade and loads of bar restaurants. You must go! From there we turned north and enjoyed all those famous resorts back up to the Tarn Gorge along from the Millau Bridge. I wonder where you’ll take us this time!

[@brendariley8982]

So here's one. Planned a huge trip to Florida with fun in the Sun and it all came to a halt while we hunkered down during a hurricane instead. Sometimes, snow is best. lol I loved you trip, I got to see something new. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Communal meet-up sounds lovely for those who want to be social. Personally speaking, when I go away I'm chasing soitude and quiet. The less humans I have to interact with the better. I go away to escape people. 🤣

Hi Beans family. The winter on Madeira Island is so mild that a lightweight jumper is all that is required at times. Sometimes it's just short sleeve t-shirts and shorts. Perhaps we see you here sometime soon as it's part of Portugal.

[@tracymac1111]

Noah is such a treat, he has a wonderful character, he is a very happy baby and watching him learning to walk is a joy to behold. Great episode Beanz .. full of laughs, excitement and daring do, (hurricane strolls with baby & dips in cold Spanish seas), I’m looking forward to the Beanz in the Pyrenees.

Where is the south? 70 ( not under 20 degrees celcius )? I have lived here inland Malaga for 11 years. And winters are cold. We have had 0-25 degrees celsius in winter. Mostly 10-20.

When I was a kid, 4 of us were camping in a small VW camper (the size of your red one) at the NJ shore and got stuck in the middle of a HURRICANE (Agnes, 1972)!!! We had a small awning that kept collecting all the water so periodically we'd push it up in the middle so the water would go out and not break it. At least it gave us a little more space...

[@Juggernuts]

grats little man on his first steps, i found myself watching him walk with wide eyes and big smile

[@hilda4114]

What an adventure you had. Nice that you ended up in a hotel for that added comfort. You should consider stopping in on some of the Chateau's in France with new UK owners who are renovating them and the outbuildings. There are a number of them in france with their own youtube channels some are even renovating a village... I'm sure they would let you camp out on their property for a night ..or two...and probably welcome a fellow youtuber. Can't wait to see where you end up next.

So encouraging to see you keeping your sense of humor during a raging storm 😊 Our first winter camping trip after purchasing a small travel trailer almost 10 years ago was on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean in WA State. It was wild, thrilling, and gorgeous, but I thot the wind would blow that little trailer off the bluff 😮 Thankfully we survived the night with no issue. Thankfully you all moved to a hotel and were able to enjoy a better night, and a beautiful day and delicious food after the storm.
