We are finally scratching off all the places we've traveled to together on our travel scratch map! We have never actually counted the number of countries we have been to as a couple, so we thought that now, before releasing our new series, would be a great time to reminisce and look back over the last 8 years of travel, at all the places we have been to and tell some stories.

⭐ 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!

How many countries have you been to? Let the d*** measuring commence!!

[@zachoryjohnson4984]

Just three countries outside of the homeland so far, but with many more (hopefully!) coming soon. I’ve used many of your videos to build lists of places to go and things to do!

[@soxrox2574]

4 okay you win bye-bye 👋

[@alexj9603]

30, including tiny countries such as Liechtenstein, San Marino, Monaco and Hong Kong. It's easy to boost this number by traveling around Europe. And I still haven't been to all European countries yet.

[@benoitdevolder4371]

You should defenetly hit Norway, Sweden and Morocco.

[@stephenjomartz5621]

i am sitting on 70 countries but was only on 16 on my 50th birthday and i have done 54 since i moved from australia to dubai 9 years ago , best norway, switzerland and new zealand and most pleasant surprize was iran. most recent new countries were georgia and armenia xmas 2019 and both were amazing and so cheap

[@wilf18]

It’s difficult to imagine these two being depressed. Emma especially seems full of joy with an infectious laugh and seems so happy. In really enjoy listening to these two. ☺️✌🏼

[@marykaraguzel479]

Seriously love how honest you guys are! And the fact that you are Brits with awesome sence of humours is a bonus!! On top of this you are in the Costa del Weston where I lived for a number of years, but also you always big up Turkey where I am now!!! The fact that you do not shy away from your own personal battles with depression and try to always keep it real is truly inspirational! Keep it up guys!!! FYİ no d*** measuring here, wanted to travel, got to Turkey stayed 🤣

[@mariondiemert430]

Worked as a flight attendant for Lufthansa for many years. Way before your time. 70's/80's. My first time in Cape Town was mind blowing. I felt as if the Creator was done and just threw everything he had left in his pouch into the Republic of South Africa. I can see you guys touring New Zealand in a van too. Beautiful country. Really enjoy your work.

[@glenncamp733]

I love your Beans. I traveled for many years for business. Lived in Hawaii and Guam and Spain with the US Navy, but traveled quite a bit in business after the Navy. In total, I've been lucky enough to have visited 75 countries and 50 states. Many for only a day or two, and many to really dig deeper. You two are doing what I should have done; however, I have enjoyed my travels. Many have been on business trips covering multiple countries in South America, Asia, and Africa on multiple week travels. I'm trying to redo some of these. Keep your channel up and continue to recount your previous travels. I have enjoyed following you two screamers ("BEANS OUT") and find you both entertaining.

[@BaeZzangBooBoo]

We will continue to support your wonderful trips in the future. like 824

[@realta140]

The story of how ye met is so interesting

[@DivandBenny]

What happens when you’ve completed the scratch map? Space exploration? 😂

[@TravelBeans]

Damn it.. You worked out our next series 😂😂

[@DivandBenny]

😂😂😂

[@alancolley9937]

I will say it again. Hands down the best videos on KZbin. So honest so fun thank you thank you

[@stevebignell9603]

Loved this. If you don't take chances in life you will always be left wondering. 😁😁

[@RobandJenny]

Every time we watch your videos, we are always just left with a huge smile on our faces. Thank you for keeping on sharing your amazing story! Keep it up! 😃

[@mailme352]

That' s it...living the best years, the that you can. You guys are so so lucky to have found each other and that lead to more traveling and exploring...never stop...never.

[@GoodFellaTR]

Hi from Turkey. Have been to 51 Countries so far. :)

[@ianmeredith130]

Fantastic video guys. Fascinating to hear your stories! I'm really looking forward to your future videos 😊👍 x

[@carolfields6837]

I'm sure this was sweet and therapeutic for the two of you to look back at your travel story. I really enjoyed this, well done!

[@TaylorFalynn]

As a newlywed couple.. That is starting our journey on KZbin it was so fun to sit back and watch this video! We are looking forward to doing a country count like this in our future! Keep up the content!

[@rakshithappaiahhs4186]

The both of you have a unique calming vibe. I'm always happy watching your videos. Your travel guides seem very realistic to me and relatable. Love your work. Thank you :)

[@janicedagul9334]

We just found you! Slightly obsessed already...love your camaraderie. Can’t wait to catch up on ALL your adventures. It’s going to be a lazy, Californian weekend for us...thank you!!

[@always.wondering.wandering]

Loved viewing your quick tour of the countries you've been to. Oh to be 30 years younger so I can have many more years left of traveling. I just hope all these countries will really try and take care of their nature, cultures and people so we can still all share with one another and enjoy our differences and similarities. Thanks you two!

[@neothedemon]

This is so inspiring. Thank you x

[@nithyamenon1478]

Travel Beans, I hope you have many many more adventures!! I love watching your videos and can't wait for the new series!!!! Stay safe & happy :)

[@elmo319]

What a fascinating story you guys have had, truly amazing.

[@TomBedlammusic]

just hit our 30th country. we decided to drive our campervan to turkey - we were driving through Montenegro and that was the country that blew us away. had no ex[ectations and just loved it. stayed there for a month. love it when that happens!

[@cookinglikeramos127]

Loved this well done for following your passion !

[@kimwarrio]

I am so happy I found you. I was stationed at RAF WOODBRIDGE for 2 years 91-92. Near Ipswich. I loved it.

[@lydiaweigel]

I've been to 19 countries! I'm so excited for your new series :)

[@xtransam9970]

Congratulations Travel Beans, like the positive dynamic between both of you, regards from Southern California USA

[@JerryCasas921]

So very nice to have run up on your channel. I am looking forward to catching up on your videos and to all your future travels! Cheers

[@AngelJBlue]

Y’all are travel goals! I gotta fill my board up lol. Travel is life ✈️✈️

[@Professionalmoochers]

What a journey! All the different types of sausages to try!! 😍

[@oldfartsadventure]

This is one of my favorite videos from you guys. I can't imagine full time travel for 8 years. We are on our 1 year trip and it takes a bit of commitment. This is awesome

[@saraf9469]

I would love to hear more of your travel stories 😃❤️

[@cindyfajardo7571]

Loved ths post! Cheers!

[@angelamouland8012]

Good video guys. A lovely idea to give an overview of what is coming. Good luck with the editing. Look forward to the series.

[@joanhall3718]

Can’t wait to watch your new, old series 😁.

[@bbette00]

48 countries, 48 states. It looks like a lot, but many are Caribbean Island Nations, lol. I already texted you this, but I stayed in the same Airbnb you did in Macedonia literally right after you. I thought that was so cool and I got to show my parents the Airbnb from your video. That is when my dad started watching you guys. Your travels have inspired me and I can't wait to see where you go post Covid. Stay healthy and travel on!

[@tomhurst5701]

Hi Emma and Alex. I discovered your KZbin channel two days ago, and am very impressed. I've just watched the whole of your recent Italian series, and found it very interesting and entertaining, I like your clear communication, relevant content, sensible video editing, and your sense of fun. In these difficult times, it is a refreshing diversion. Keep up the good work. P.S. as I am more than your two ages combined, you now have some proof of how broad your audience is. P.S.S I live just down the road from you in Bridgwater

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

What a great video thanks for the smiles this morning! We visited Egypt, the one area we felt a little uncomfortable was is Sharm el-Sheikh, however the Red Sea was beautiful! Looking forward to your new series. ~Cara

[@teresaroland7853]

Wow you 2. I have been watching fort a while now and am absolutely glued to your videos! I'm currently working on watching all of them! Keep them coming! Teresa in Alberta Canada!

[@thebells516]

What a cool story! Love all the places you have been. I have a less grandiose but similar story. I was completing teacher ceertification in 1990 when I was given an opportunity to travel to London. A friend offered to give me a place to stay until I got on my feet. I bought a suitcase, 35mm camera and a plane ticket and off I went. I got a job working in a Pub within a week or two. Within a month or so, I got a job in a poorly funded and resourced private school in North London. The next year I got into the state system. At the end of my first year I met my eventual wife who is Turkish. We ended up living in London for an additional 5 years and traveled on each school holiday. We got married at Easter break in Istanbul in 1994. The English weather and teaching in inner city was wearing me down. I started searching for teaching jobs in Turkey and eventually found one in Istanbul wherre my wife was from. Alex…. your favoirte city Istanbul… we made residence for 2 years. I got to learn more about the culture, travel throughout Turkey, and get to know the family better. Sadly, the teaching job did not work out as well as it should have. I was supposed to teach Middle School English, but the school did not get built on time. I was redeployed to Pre-K operating in Turkish. After much tense negotiations, we were give early release from my contract, compensated and provided flights to America. Sadly my almost 8 years of advernture came to an end and we had to return to America…. This video reminded me of all our good times and fuelled my desire to once again travel. Honestly… those days, even though much poorer were in many ways more happy. I am now in my 21st year of corporate life anchored in Illinois with only occasional vacation travels. Enjoy and cherish the times you are having now.

[@farahsali1]

Enjoyed knowing about your trips and how you met. Btw I'm binging all your old videos. 💞

[@richardwohlers5245]

I loved this episode! I found your channel looking for more sights of Italy - your last set got me hooked on you guys. The wife and I have covered most of USA together- our parents were car trip people. We took our kids to camp in Yellowstone and our daughter had to see Forks, Washington back when vampires were a big thing. Back in the BC time (before children) we did a month in Australia, Amazing! Scuba in the Caribbean in the 80's. We found Europe in the 2000's. A week at a time every other year is all we could afford - traveling from Iowa meant those adverts for UK for $500 for NYC were $1800 for us. Our Greek trip with friends for last summer died with the Covid shut downs and Expedia has our airline money "saved". I thought we might be retired next summer and do a Grand Tour in a rental, but that doesn't seem likely. I just tested positive so our family plans for the Holidays are in flames too! I want to let you know that I think your talking about depression is a very good thing and people need to know that is happens to everyone. Both my wife and daughter are counselors and I know this can be hard for people to admit. Keep sane and safe!

[@kristirichards2249]

Wow! There are few places you HAVENT been. You're so right about getting out of your comfort zone. So happy you are able to see so many incredible places while you're young enough to be fearless!! I'm from the US, Indiana to be exact. We are an hour east of Chicago. Going there today in fact to pick up son and his girl from O'Hare. Hes a cornhole pro so they travel the country for his tournaments. They both have the travel bug as well. More young people seem to be finding ways to make travel possible and it's because in part, of couples like you! Keep the vlogs coming!!

[@joantharp8973]

Im an old camper soon to be 77. Im telling you that because I've been inspired by your videos. I recently bought an aliner pop up camper and I've been getting it ready for camping trips. You inspire so many people to get out and try new things. I'm forever grateful and I would like to be a patron . Please tell me how to do that. Again, many thanks Joan

[@Lauren_aida]

I enjoyed this so much! You guys have had so many great adventures and we're all so lucky you share them with us! I think I've been to 17 countries so far? And Kenya is next on my bucket list!

[@medelbucu]

Such a lovely couple. Stay safe.

[@dustgreylynx]

A nice cut when Alex says "Quicker". I see what you did there

[@treasureoftraveling9581]

Love the video!

[@seanfallon4580]

[@zainulabideen9464]

Beans, you are doing a fabolous work. Watching you for about an year now. And, just love your videos. Further, I see a factor of honesty in you guys that i havent seen in any other travel vlogger. You deserve much more appreciation.Keep entertaining us. Stay blessed. Love from Pakistan ❤

[@TravelBeans]

Thanks for such kind words 🙏

[@cazt8110]

Great!!! I'm very impressed by your map scratching abilities - so much better than mine. Been to 62 countries but have had to resort to the Been App as my map went wrong!!! Looking forward to your next series.

[@katherinepacey4163]

25 countries. So many more on the list.....Top places when we can travel are Norway, Finland, Canada, Turkey, Russia and many many more.... Can't wait to see your upcoming series

[@stevebignell9603]

[@PortlyTravellers]

We've been to 15 countries. I love your stories. I can't wait to hear more about your ups and downs especially since I suffer from mental illness and other disabilities. I usually find travelling helps my metal illness. -Shawna🍁

[@TomekLIst]

Lovely video!

[@zzzhannahadam]

I’m from Singapore and I’ve been to England, Italy, France, Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea... That’s about it, really... Once travel restrictions have been lifted and we have a vaccine for the dreaded covid virus, I’d love to visit Morocco, Egypt, Jordon, Greece, Germany, Iceland, India, Japan, New Zealand, etc ❤️

[@classicentertainment2416]

Wow, that's a lot of traveling ! Really cool lifestyle, I enjoy your videos, great energy. I'll pass on the toilet cafe though, lol

[@roguz444]

I got teary hearing how you met. That is some divine intervention. I don't know you and feel so happy for you. I can't wait to travel again. I'm moving to London to be with my fiance. After that, I would like to go to Turkey again and France for the first time. I look forward to more videos and this series. Robin in California

[@pegcaptain]

It's windy winter night, food is in the oven and the Travel Beans are here.

[@ianbatty186]

Hi Emma and Alex, just came across your Vlogs, content I’ve seen so far is great so looking forward to subscribing and watching more. Personally I’ve been to more than 80 countries (don’t roll your eyes)and looking forward to more travels when I can. Lots of highlights but a couple of recommendations are seeing the Grizzlies in Alaska and Galápagos Islands and my all time favourite Machu Picchu.

[@floydventures]

Hey I loved the story and have been following just the past couple months. I did the scratch map too and thought my 33 countries would stand out but I definitely have a lot of ground to cover. I hope to finally become a digital nomad next year and continue to travel and vlog on my YT channel. . I can't wait until you come back to Canada again and this time visit my region in the Rocky Mountains of BC. Keep safe and stay healthy!

[@brookeyool]

Going to Egypt next month, and all of the planning has my head in a tizzy!!! This will be country 32 for me.

[@12elpida]

you guys had the BEST first dates anyone could dream of!! hahaha maybe you can tell us in a future video how you started out(budget and stuff) before you had the chennel...

[@TravelBeans]

Good idea 😀

[@waseemakbarraja8167]

As always, it is a delightful time to watch your videos and enjoy your conversations. For your future trips, you may consider visiting Pakistan in detail as many other vloggers and travellers have already been surprised after visiting this hidden gem on earth.

[@karinpople1019]

17. Would really like to do a nordic road trip, cross Russia on a train, and go through New Zealand and Australia in a camper van

[@iamturok67]

We are new subscribers to your channel and we love you guys. We're asking the question that has probably been asked a million times, what in the hell does travel beans mean? Lol.... we look forward to finish watching the rest of your videos.

[@Globaler]

Love you both. 24 countries so far and want to hit 50 by before I am 50. Backpacked in Thailand/Laos/Cambodia for the first time when I was 42. Cant wait to get back on the plane. I travel vicariously though KZbinrs when I am @ work :-)

[@jhickman4735]

I'd recommend driving the Crowsnest Hwy in the south of Canada stopping at Waterton Lakes NP. Vancouver to Whistler on The Sea to Sky and onto Banff through Yoho and Glacier National Parks. I'd then drive the Icefields Parkway to Jasper then through Saskatchewan to beautiful Manitoba including Riding Mountain NP ( lots of bears) . Great video guys , look forward to your future videos.

[@Katarzyna1886]

I love your guys's humor & honesty. I don't know if it's a British thing, but you def make me laugh :)

[@cliveashley9364]

I'm such a fan of this channel I just want them to hit 100k. 🙏❣️

[@Alina_Valentina]

Romania is here...waiting... I'll more then happy to help with acomodation, ideas, anything :)

[@i_am_moldo]

Guys you are so wonderful to watch, I love your vlogs and I can't wait for the pandemic to be over to see you travelling again. You really have to go and visit Romania 🇷🇴, from the castles in transylvania to the Danube delta you have plenty to see and plenty to eat 😍. I started to travel just 5 years ago and I have been to 10 country's, now we live in England, for the moment 😋. Keep doing the good work.

[@emilyserafamanschot800]

Hello Travel Beans, I love your channel! My husband and I have been to 44 different countries, but we've gone back to several many, many times (Spain 16, Mexico 7, Canada many (we live near Detroit, you actually go south to go to Windsor). BTW, several couples that we know have done very small weddings (going to city hall) and will have the big wedding at a later date after the COVID crisis passes. We even attended a ZOOM wedding! The best to you, stay safe and well. Looking forward to your views on mental health and more of your stories and travels!

[@chrisfolkharmonicaplayer6292]

I'm glad you liked Istanbul . My dad was an English teacher at Robert College, and we lived there for 6 years . We spent one of our summers in Scandinavia and went far north into Norway to experience the midnight sun. I'm surprised you haven't done Scandinavia , being relatively close to UK. Maybe there's a car ferry from UK . After your misfortune with Frank, you should take your VW camper there this summer. I am impressed with all you visits to different countries around the world.

[@abdulhameedkhan9968]

Awesome, for me two countries but I have a dream to visit all the countries like both of you lovely couple...😍😍😍

[@vickyb785]

I went to Serbia it was totally out of my comfort zone as a wheelchair user!

[@PocketTrailblazer]

Who can forget Alex’s Turkish bath experience! 😂 I got given one of these maps once and like you guys, the big gaps are Africa & South America! I still have no idea how many countries I’ve been too!! Looking forward to the next ‘monster’ series 💪😉

[@JorgeMorales-tw5ox]

love this video!!! would love to go to Morocco!!!

[@merridybenton7028]

Great video. I have been to 12 countries and am so looking forward to travelling again as my home country of Australia wont allow overseas travel as yet (except for special circumstances). So looking forward to the holiday in Europe we were supposed to have last xmas, hopefully next xmas.

[@ynys_mon6928]

Loved it. Looking forward to your new series. P.s. what happened to Sri Lanka being scratched?

[@MunecaBrava69]

I'm thinking of buying an SUV and start traveling here in Uruguay...I was born here but lived in the USA for 50 years... I say come on down, se this beautiful little country and teach me some tricks for solo traveling!!! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!

[@virginiafeliciano9318]

I love your story and throughly enjoyed reminiscing with your travel adventures. I have been to Canada, Dominican Republic, St Lucia, Dominica , St Thomas, Puerto Rico(from here), Italy, France, Belgium (quick stop for a beer 😀), Amsterdam , London, and Spain. In the USA, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, Virginia, Wash DC, NOrth Carolina, South Carolina(live here now) Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, and California. Wow lots of States covered in US but more to go. Next trip whenever we can travel will be to Greece and then Central and South America God willing. Stay safe and God bless🙏🏻

[@graememedley2506]

[@dominikcharciarek8888]

Best regards from Wrocław. And I invite you again to our Christmas Market and more. It's wonderful to watch you 🤪🌍🇵🇱

[@johnspivey4063]

75 countries…and the best was ……NAMIBIA in Toyota 4x4 from cape town to Windhoek via Etosha and the big salt pan.. Also Fiji and Hawaii were amazing. Glad to see you went to Antelope Canyon..which we had entirely to ourselves…great photos. We also had a year in Australia living (and working) in Atherton with side trips to Darwin and Sydney and Canberra (campervan location at 5 dollars per day).

[@giorgirostiashvili7578]

Guys try Georgia, the capital Tbilisi is only 2 hours flight from Istanbul. Beautiful country with mountains, seaside and lovely towns. Lots of churches and monasteries, castles. Tbilisi is European nice city with beautiful old town and lots of activities.

[@Ari-ld9hi]

Emma you have such great energy. You are beautiful and have the personality to boot. You guys are awesome. Keep up the great work. Lots of good vibes from the USA.

[@itchyfeetwilltravelk5122]

nice , very inspirational. Can't wait for this virus thing to be over.

[@catt2000uk]

Have just come across your channel by accident, but you have me hooked, I love these types of channels. By the way I have been engaged to my better half for 25 years, no need to rush into marriage.
