Worst Proposal Ever | Vanlife Europe Campervan Series ep 9

[@tommyedodson2412]

Guess we'll check in in 5 more years for the 10th anniversary of your engagement.

[@randimason7567]

The "Before Trilogy" was so, so good.

[@lovelyhawaiigal]

It IS a beautiful place! And you get extra points for originality, Alex! I first started watching your channel when you lost your van (Frank?) in the fire in the US. I have since gone back and watched a lot of your posts because you are SUCH a sweet, funny, and REAL couple! My son-in-law proposed to my daughter whilst they were in Rome, overlooking the Castel Sant'Angelo and they are always saying how hard it is to "top that" as far as him trying to be romantic. Between Covid and him suffering from Stage 4 Lymphoma, as well as being on dialysis from his PKD (end-stage renal failure) the last few years, those travel memories have had to sustain them through all the rubbish! I'm happy to say they have been together for 11 years, married for 5, and not only is he cancer free and had a transplant in January, but after 7 unsuccessful tries last year with donor sperm, he has recovered sufficiently so they are expecting their first child in April! I've seen what a great team they make in the many doctor's offices and hospital stays. But when they travel, they really play and have fun, much like you and Emma! I'm trying to persuade my daughter to make a KZbin channel and I'm definitely going to tell her to watch this video in particular. I lived in England for 3 years back in the stone ages (the 80s!) when my late husband was in the US Air Force. He was stationed at RAF Lakenheath in East Anglia and we loved traveling to Europe while we lived there in the UK. The travel bug bit me hard and since then, I've been to 10 countries, and 48 states, including Hawaii, where I lived and taught Special Education for the last 5 years until I came back when Katrina and Branden were going through all his health problems. We are planning a cross-country move from Oregon to Virginia Beach at the end of October. It will be his first road trip and Katrina's and my first since we drove from Chicago to Seattle before flying to Hawaii. Thanks again for all your lovely, fun videos, Beans Out!

Emma driving like a mad woman thru the streets and Alex complaining that he can't reach the ticket machine (insert small hand joke). Other than those bits of humor I'm glad you got to go back and reminisce on a great memory. The fact that it was in the dark adds to the originality of Alex choosing that way to propose. Here's to 5 more years 🍺🍺

[@pauljawor5859]

Cesky krumlov is really romantic and one of my favourite towns in Europe. Great video, makes me reminisce too about my wife and I dating each other around the country and we had particularly fond memories of Cesky Krumlov.

[@domish5]

I haven't been able to visit the Czech Republic like I usually do with my family to visit my mom's side in Prague in the summer for a few years now, and seeing the scenery here brought back some memories that I had half forgotten about from when I visited Český Krumlov. It really gives a feeling like no other, and I really hope to be able to travel to Europe again sometime soon, I never realized just how ____ it feels to not travel there for a while. ( I really can't think of any word to describe the feeling, I guess it's just kind of an "If you know, you know" type of situation) Either way, thanks for the wonderful series. Love from Seattle, USA!

[@inFAMous1013fm]

you guys are my fav travel vloggers by far. great personality and great sense of humor. Cant wait for you two to get married. Alex, what u waiting on bro, seal the deal

[@susannortham11.11]

Like how you guys keep it real, not overly romantic and full of drama - a real friendship as well :)

[@2210courtney]

I find it wonderful to return to places just to reminisce, so happy you got to do just that. Hope you don’t go back in 5 more years and your still engaged

[@TravelBeans]

😂 Can't rule it out!!

[@dandanchen6807]

[@travelertrome8449]

What a beautiful place. Thanks for letting us stroll down memory lane with you. I agree, traveling and experiencing other cultures really is educational and I feel more like a whole person than before. I have also experienced romance with someone I met while traveling. The attraction feels so much more powerful when meeting under those circumstances.

[@maxjeggo8014]

Great vid. "Before Sunrise" is a great film!! But so obscure, have never found anyone thats seen it 😂😂. My proposal story just as romantic lol, went away to Longleat and stonehenge for weekend, as we unpacking in hotel, he on his knees ( as in both) and kindof throws me the ring out of his bag, and says" Is it a yes"🤣🤣 ( of course it was) 😁😁 13 years later we are still engaged 😍😍 and very happy together. X

[@lovelyhawaiigal]

I think a lot of people have seen the Before series! Maybe just we ladies? Stonehenge is a very cool place to get engaged!

[@oldabocek2222]

So wierd to see you drive through places in the series that I see so daily, luxembourg, the piece of german autobahn and now czechia, its pretty funny.

[@robincloud7744]

Love you two, you're my favorites! Want to see the wedding!

[@majebrennan5668]

Me too!!

[@MrKjlassoc]

Just before you brought it up, I'm thinking that this scenario reminds me of "Before Sunrise" (also a favorite of mine). Now you two will need to make a pact to meet at the Cesky Krumlov train station on the same day, next year. It will make for loads of new video content!

[@luvyou-baby]

it was nice to hear that story. also i didnt know they were on the news & famous for their travels

[@migandkris9674]

Awesome video! I love how you guys always care about the animals. The bears made me so sad!

[@gregpaull9768]

My wife and I are hopefully going to Cesky Krumlov late next year. So looking forward to seeing that place and being able to stay there.

[@staciepatel2536]

the Lovie Dovie stuff was cute

[@bibekdas5595]

Travel beans is the best of you tube

[@TravelersThread]

This was a very endearing video. Thanks for opening up a bit more and sharing your story. That really is the “meat and potatoes” (or cheese and wine😂) way of connecting with us who watch your channel. So thanks. Keep it up 👍

[@TravelBeans]

Aw thanks Erin.. 🙏💛 So glad you enjoyed it

[@TravelersThread]

Travel Beans hey there, just a thought but have you ever done a video on the total number of countries you have visited so far in 5 years? That might be an interesting one to compile some time when you are at home and on a travel break. 👍

[@TravelersThread]

And could also encompass a favorite and least favorite thought/experience from each country. Could be really a really endearing video too

[@TravelBeans]

We hadn't thought of that! But it's a great idea.. Thank you! 🙏

[@TravelersThread]

Travel Beans sure. It could also be a good way to catch up on your adventure as a whole for those of us who have more recently started following you (and a way for you to recommend/promote some past videos to watch that we might be interested in but haven’t seen)

[@heatherinnaples1521]

Best. Story. Ever. Y’all crack me up!

[@citydesk4527]

What an engaging episode!

[@lovelyhawaiigal]

Haha!

[@pegcaptain]

Nice to watch something fun before going on a 3 hour Zoom call.

[@TravelBeans]

Yikes.. Good luck!

[@louloulapetiterenarde8573]

The bears in that enclosure make me feel very sad and angry at the same time ...No respect for the other species is my biggest pet peeve. That and littering and anti social behaviour. ....

[@bibekdas5595]

Travel beans is the my favourite you tube channel

[@magecraft2]

Coincidence or what as the Travel Beans move around Europe on their channel those countries are added to the UK quarantine list !!!! Only joking of course with the time delay you missed it all and hopefully got back safe and sound :)

[@JSingh_8185]

Lovely story of proposal. But you guys seem to be shy romantic couple in front of the camera. ❤️

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Aww sweet video beautiful views ( those poor bears 🙁). Great video take care .

[@dannystoelzaet3318]

Dear Alex, happy that you have Emma to drive this Campervan, you would only break down. Happy Heloween from Brussels - Belgiyum.

[@joachimniebling5034]

Nice video. Btw. "...There were 8,662 inhabitants in Krummau an der Moldau in 1910, including 7,367 Germans and 1,295 Czechs. After the World War I, the town was a part of the Bohemian Forest Region which was initially declared to be part of German-Austria. By the end of 1918 the Czechoslovak army had occupied the region, which became part of Czechoslovakia. In 1938 it was annexed by Germany, as part of the Reichsgau Oberdonau unit of Sudetenland under the Munich Agreement. After World War II the town's long-standing German-speaking population was expelled and the town was returned to Czechoslovakia...."

[@randyherbrechtsmeier4796]

No Beans Out. What da Hey!!!? You Two are Meant to be Together. You are two Halves of the Whole

[@snowflakes888]

The longest engagement I have known. 😁

[@TravelBeans]

😂 We've been busy

[@sanlewis6068]

@@TravelBeans I've been engaged 27 years!!! My first marriage was like something out of a scary movie so I am being more careful this time around lol!!! (no regrets!!!)

[@tonys1636]

Have you thought about having the hitching back in that Town, it would be cool to be spliced in the town the contract was sealed, it would probably need to be a civil ceremony though. Stay safe you two. 💋💋👸🧔

[@kerricarder-mccoy5338]

Such a cute story

[@RoxanneM-]

[@bibekdas5595]

[@Dutchbelg3]

The "pointing finger" is in general addressed as "Index finger" but it could also be the "Poking finger" or the "wipe your bottom-finger" or "Irritating-know-it-all-student-finger" or the "fingering-finger" ;-)

[@Professionalmoochers]

So we’ve had tipsy beans... Is this romantic beans? 🤮
