In this USA travel vlog, we take a lesser-known drive to Big Sur through Los Padres National Forest where we were amazed by the colourful autumn leaves and gorgeous views - including hills that looked VERY similar to the Chocolate Hills in Bohol, Philippines!
After we eventually made it to the famous Big Sur coastal drive, we enjoyed the scenery and made our way up to the seaside city of Carmel-by-the-Sea. This charming place was a lot of fun to explore and walk around, and even had it's very own white sand beach which has to be one of the most beautiful beaches we've seen in California so far on this trip!

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!

Big Sur smells so wonderful. You are smelling white sage and other wild flowers and the Red Woods and ferns

[@ruiyuandong1398]

Before this episode, you guys just missed Hearst Castle, and from Cambria to Lucia 50 miles of treacherous but beautiful coastal Hwy 1.

[@katajha831]

The purple and read plants are called Ice Plant.. They bloom gorgeous flowers i believe in the spring.

I’m surprised you didn’t stop and comment about the hawk sitting in the top of that tree

[@patrickw123]

The high Sierra Mountains, the deserts, and the northern redwood forests have dramatic scenery, but there are lots of places in central coastal California that have quiet, sublime beauty. Thanks for taking us along!

[@BeyondYourDoorstep]

Oh wow!! We absolutely love beautiful coastal drives and this one looks incredible! 😍

[@SeniaYam]

Love the nature and pelicans!

[@mountainhobo]

"Private, no trespassing, I am guessing that's why it is so nice" -- No, there are tons of public, empty, beautiful beaches on that stretch. Please stop by Pomponio Beach and Greyhound Rock Beach on your way north, and walk down. Both are breathtaking.

[@alibaba19631]

mountainhobo thank you for sharing this information

[@DDIII3]

Nice vlog Beans. I agree. The Pacific Coast Hwy. is gorgeous! I've been through there many times and I agree with Alex, little variations in weather, season, mood, always keep it interesting. Can hardly wait to see your reaction to the See Lions at Fisherman's Wharf. One thing I know we won't see, is Alex driving the van down Lombard Street.

[@iRoehl]

As a Tarsier-loving Filipino who frequently drives our campervan through the hills and coast of Big Sur, I appreciate watching this video. I hope you got to visit the town of Santa Cruz and it’s magnificent redwoods. It’s my favorite place to mountain bike. Happy travels!!!

[@lizame65]

Breathtaking!!

[@kayako4199]

Philippines miss you guys🥰🇵🇭 Stay safe🙏

[@pennywollett3953]

My backyard glad you liked it! You can always catch sea otters in Morro Bay down by the wharf lots of good seafood places there too!

[@fatmanhikes]

I dig watching you Brits on your adventures! Thanks!

[@chichidarl4309]

Omg your laughters are contagious! 😅 Awesome coastal drive! Awesome scenery! Keep safe always!

[@bengalishaw2889]

Wowzers ! Extremely magnificent mountains awesome footage

[@genevievejackson1779]

Cool video. Autumn colours are beautiful.

[@joanhall3718]

I always feel like I don't have enough time to see/do everything I want to when I go on vacation. There are so many interesting places to visit in the world but I also want to spend time in the places that I love.

[@chrisdickinson3168]

Beautiful, love a bit of mist! I love the extreme differences of the alpes from winter to summer

[@jorgiesjog9904]

If you get the chance to revisit Zion National Park in the winter with snow it will blow your mind again.

[@tzazarizona2676]

Have driven the coastal highway myself, one of the most beautiful trips in the world. Keep up your videos and keep enjoying life.

[@teaandabutty]

Oh my gosh that would have been amazing if you'd gotten to see sea otters in their natural habitat! I love them! But you're right, just the anticipation of knowing they're around there and there's a chance to see them is enough. Beautiful video!

[@andypeake4492]

Leaking ends are epic!

[@henrymercado9949]

Stunning view

[@danellis-jones1591]

I love the coast in winter as much, or more, than in summer. It's beautiful and wild

[@ruiyuandong1398]

9:20 The name of that city pronounces "car-mel" "car" as the motor vehicle, "mel" as Mel Gibson.

[@ruthuckardes7401]

You are both so entertaining....I just wish your videos were longer, they end too soon 😞. I remember my dad driving us up to Derby before we left England. The fog on the Moors was really creepy....couldn't see past the front of the car....and then suddenly we'd have to stop because of Rams appearing out of the fog in front of us. Beautiful scenery guys....enjoy the rest of your trip.

[@bue90774]

been missing for your PH travels..:) thanks for sharing that spectacular scenery of usa,..

[@grahambullman]

Awesome stuff guys as usual. We did the same trip a couple of years ago but in reverse. SF down the coast to LA, across to Vegas and then all the national parks, Zion, Bryce, Antelope Canyon etc. Sorry to say we saw dozens of sea otter when we were there. This brings back so many great memories. :)

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Hwy 1 is just one awesome road, good views around every corner. Happy travels👍

[@rudymena4388]

When you were at Carmel Beach on the other side of that green spot on the right is The magnificent Pebble Beach and I live on the other side Pacific Grove which as it’s on unique Ocean front ! Were I get to enjoy this beautiful place I call home ! Safe travels!

[@bethsalazar6970]

Lovely video! Loved the Liverpool vs Everton match on the Telly!

[@siracampos1929]

Carmel by the Sea is my favorite place in California! I am happy you stopped there!

[@johnandrewcatubay3444]

Wwooooow what a lovely place!

[@angelamalner5174]

One of our favorite travel days was in Kauai when it was pouring rain and we drove up to Waimea Canyon in the mist and fog, spectacular and no one around. I grew up in Los Angeles, still live here, we are camping in Big Sur for a week in August. It's $36 a night. The best deal in all of California. (just make your reservations 6 months in advance) Also it's pronounced Car Mel (as in Mel rom the Spice Girls) :) YOU ARE MY FAV

[@ogiecruz8063]

2:13 Its misty like in Baguio Phil. Happy you still love the Philippines. Have a great week Travel Beans💗 😆

Hi Alex and Emma, I'm Jade the new subscriber to your channel and it's very nice to meet you. Lovely adventure video! 😀

[@robincloud7744]

Looks like the Great Smokey Mountains!

watching in 2022

[@mikesmith-nn6sd]

As much as you love nature and animals in the wild you should research hiking the Appalachian trail.

[@noellehilgesen612]

Fantastic

[@rosenouna4413]

I loveeee your videos guysss 😍😍❤️

[@TravelBeans]

Thank you Rose! 🙏

[@TruthHurts2u]

Morro Bay is a good place to view sea otters.

[@blowba]

Go to either Moss Landing or Elkhorn Slough. There are sea otters there, it's pretty much a guarantee and it's one of the best birding areas in the state. A local told me about that place and sure enough it paid off. I think we saw like 4 or 5. It's very close to where you are about half an hour North, so it's on the way.

[@Dutchbelg3]

Take the highway no. 1!! It is soooo beautiful! And you WILL see the animal life (IF you like and have some patience..) I only passed the highway no. 1 once and saw sealion, seals, Elephant seals AND sea otters! And it was just on our daily drive with some stops when we felt like stopping :-)

[@STANDREW2]

Clint Eastwood was one time Mayor of Carmel, I think.

[@j.gravett2878]

Yes, he was!!!

[@teammaumau7207]

Bohol-style! we're just in LA, so no excuse not to drive up there soon!

[@Nagranddan]

You should check out Morro Bay and the elephant seal beach (it has parking just off HWY 1) south of Big Sur someday :)

[@wenozurc2433]

same beautiful people Emma & Alex fr Bohol Ph

[@mountainhobo]

You guys must have passed very close by Mission San Antonio de Padua (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_San_Antonio_de_Padua), where the first Catholic marriage ceremony in California took place. It is a gorgeous little place in the hills. Did you stop by there?

[@irissindol7814]

🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 hello guys.. I miss you..

[@robincloud7744]

Look at 1:41 on the video, I think you missed a big ass hawk in the background! Top of the tree!

[@ptjzmemory]

I saw that too

[@alibaba19631]

Wow I missed that too, that would have made Alex go crazy LOL

[@PEPPER2323]

Carmel is the best.

[@blowba]

I don't know this but the no trespassing sign maybe bullshit. I'm pretty sure in California you have to allow public access to the beach. I think the only the state can restrict access is if it's protected land.

[@lynnesears6254]

Once again, I enjoyed your enjoyment. Was wondering how you were finding the driving on the right side of the roads especially where there is no line and no traffic. Were you concerned that you might pull to the left (incorrect side in the US) if a car came out of nowhere? That's a thing I'm concerned about if we visit the UK again and drive.

[@dean8842]

Emma &Alex: The Passage Pods; The Journey Drupes; The Roving Pomes; The Sojourn… er, The Sojourn… eh… uh. Hey, has anybody seen where I put my thesaurus?

[@jcl4107]

When did u come back in Philippines?,we miss you here

[@2210courtney]

I’m curious as to what Emma thought about the egg nog, especially if it was her first time, and if Alex tried it

[@Donald43ify]

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I thought by California law that no more beaches are to be private and that all of them were to have public access with the exception of military bases of course.

[@allegra1236]

Dear Beans Are you ok? With all happening with our favorite vlogging couples, worried about you. Haven’t heard from you in comments for awhile. Continued safe travels

[@chrishutchison5031]

Paso Robles, Sounds like Robe Less like you forgot your clothes. I'm loving the road trip, keep up the good work.

[@caulkins69]

No it doesn't! Next time you want to "correct" someone, try looking it up before embarrassing yourself.

[@terryphilbin2494]

I was born in San Luis Obispo over 70 years ago and got a thorough lesson on the Spanish heritage of our place names. So I'll call it Paso "Robe less". After all its from the Spanish for El Paso de Robles, the pass of the Oaks. Others call it "row bulls" and that they are staking out some higher ground. This difference happens all over the american west which was once a colony of Spain. See Nevaaaada as opposed to Nevahda. There are some serious panties in a bunch over that pronounciation. But after all, who founded Las Vegas eh! And that Naciemento Furgeson Road that they were on crosses over the route of the Portola expedition (September of 1769). Two diaries from that expedition can be found on line as well as a decent article in Wikipedia.

[@chrishutchison5031]

@@terryphilbin2494 Here in South Texas it's "Robe Less" and it's a very common sir name

[@axeljacobs9723]

Good video, but you are mispronouncing Carmel! As I'm "Carmel by the Sea"
