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! ⭐ Make sure to Subscribe to our channel for more videos like this one! ⭐ BEANS OUT!

Holy cow have you looked at your images in this video. You both look 5 years younger so obviously something is resonating as a huge positive. You’ll be better than fine because you are resilient and flexible. Go for it and drag me on your trip. Luv you both. Bob
Can i just say Emma you are glowing. Like always You look absolutely stunning…. I can see the happiness. I’m so excited to see this next chapter and journey.
I am so excited for you guys! Life is too short, it's meant to be lived. Your children will love you for it ❤️
You hit the nail on the head with that statement about grieving the way the world used to be. So much of us are going through that and feel hopeless at times. Just want you to know there's probably millions of people that feel the same way across all the countries on earth.
Emma - you are looking better than ever. Motherhood looks good on you!
I understand your mourning for the old world. My husband and I feel the same. The difference is that we are old and we know that things evolve all the time. At the moment I cling to the fact that the big reasons for this unhappy time, cannot live forever. I am praying that my husband and I will outlive them so we can breathe freely again.
You could let a relative stay in your house six month and you stay at there place
You’re doing the right thing. You will only fail if you stop trying. Keep going ❤
When I was 21, I moved to Japan three weeks after graduating from university. I gave up a major magazine job offer in New York City to go to a country where I didn’t speak the language, didn’t know the culture and was on the other side of the world from my friends and family. It was my first house, first car, first official job. Everyone told me I shouldn’t go. Everyone said it was a mistake. I stayed for four years, traveled to 40 countries, became a travel journalist and updated Lonely Planet books and wrote for airline magazines. I came back to the States and went to another 50 or so countries. Continued as a travel researcher for journalists and influencers. Bought a van and have done Vanlife for 5 1/2 years. Now 26 years later, those who told me I was making a mistake wish they had done more than just work in a cubicle for a quarter century. Thing is, everyone will tell you travel life is wrong yet they all love when you bring them a souvenir 😊
You will be teaching your kids the most valuable lesson in life with these arrangements and that is that home is not a building or country it's your family. So few people understand that these days. Good luck with the future.
Amazing, take the plunge. Life is too short . Great Opportunity for your family. Xx❤
Yay the beans are back!
Why not apply for one year visas from Italy rather than having to leave every 3 months? It would permit you to finish your house in Sicily!
Don’t ever think to follow your dreams that you are made of fun of..if people are saying bad things about you then goodbye to them lol…do what makes you all happy …good luck I think it’s amazing….❤you guys be brave …
This is called the Schengen Shuffle. There are groups that give info on countries and rentals while Schengen Shuffling. Good luck and live your dreams ❤
Bravo Beans .. success 💚
Many Blessings on your new adventures!
Do an exchange with someone in another country, share properties.
Love your plan! It suits your soul quite well. I would only suggest that your parents buy a cheap place in the same town in Sicily so you all can be together ad lib.
You both look a lot happier and healthier ❤ bon voyage 👍
