As the year draws to a close, I reflect on what turned out to be a great year. Despite the pandemic and getting scammed, I am pleased to say that 2020 was my best year mentally. Having been on anti-depressants, this year could have easily spiralled out of control for me mentally. I am so happy and proud that my mind has stayed strong and despite note being able to travel and create as much I would like, I am still happy. The mind is a powerful thing and we can create our happiness within. If you are struggling, please reach out to me on Instagram, I am always happy to talk.

⭐ About Travel Beans:
Welcome to the official Travel Beans RU-vid 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!

As a mental health provider I would like to thank you and Alex for using your platform to highlight mental health issues. You let people know that everything is not sunshine, lollipops and rainbows, and that’s okay 👌

Amen Emma. Well spoken. I lost my son in 2018 and live day by day and hoped to use travel as my medication until 2020. Each day can be a struggle but one needs to find just the little things. Little things matter no matter what anybody says. Stumbled across your site this summer and find it refreshing and true. Keep laughing, you don't know what that does for people who watch. Smiling here. Beans Out.

Emma, thank you so much for sharing this video. I am a recent above the knee amputee and believe me, I have experienced the literal pain, which comes from nothing else but the brain, in phantom pain. I could numb my nerves with medication, but have found if I breathe deep and think of the wonderful things I have experienced in life and my family and pets, the pain goes away. It is all in our heads. Love you guys and we are all looking forward to wearing our sausage/tree shirts on Christmas!

@TimHayton 3 года назад

The scumbag is in prison! Excellent! I'm really happy you are navigating your way out of depression. It is a navigation process as I found when I came off the antidepressants a few years ago. With the experience of knowing how it feels I was able to identify the darker feelings and navigate away from them. Over time these feelings become fewer and further apart to the point I am back to my old self. So with your thought 'tools' to hand and family around you, you'll be super fine. :)

@bigkruck 3 года назад

Yes, meds help. They gave me a bit of space between me and my depression/negative emotions. I am not my disease. But it’s great to get to a space where you can cope with it on your own. I am so grateful for you and your journey! I feel so much joy in your channel. Keep it up!

@annabelv.2400 3 года назад

I have been there and went over it as well, in the past. Unfortunately the challenges of 2020 made me relapse into medication after losing my job, and having to do it all by myself, being a single mom. It s all because of fear, but not for me, for my kids. However I am grateful I was able to watch you today while being cozy in a plaid and sipping a warm delicious tea. And I am grateful I have my kids who actually, even if it' s also worries for their future, give me the strength to fire up my motor to continue going on and find solutions

@kpkelsey 3 года назад

Emma, I have dealt with depression for most of my adult life. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to talk about it openly as you have done, but it also helps so many people to see you facing it head on. I have found that the more I talk about my struggles, the less of a grip it has on me. I'm not embarrassed by my depression, just like I'm not embarrassed by having diabetes. Keep fighting, Emma. Even when you feel your worst, there are people like me who are cheering for you and praying for you. Thanks for doing this. You changed lives today.

@TravelBeans 3 года назад

Thank you Kevin.. 🙏 I hope it becomes a more normal thing to be open and talk about, because there is no need for anyone to be embarrassed. I think we'd be surprised at how many of us have struggled or are struggling 💛

Love it, having been in a similar boat I know the appreciation journal really works. I have to admit I'm useless at doing it but its something that I get my eldest daughter to do as she unfortunately seems to struggle with her emotions and can get stuck in a negativity cloud all to regularly. As soon as she says three things from her day it makes her think and within a short space of time I have my smiley happy girl back

You are so lovely Emma! Great to see a Bean this morning. I focus on the positive too and my life is good. As simple as my life is, I'm living someone else's dream. When I'm out in the cold I remind myself how lucky I am I have a warm home to go back to, I have food, enough money (not loads but enough), I'm safe, I have family....I could go on and on, so much gratitude. You too are living someone else's dream. If you and Alex do your homework on places you'd like to travel to and put it all together for your viewers to see, I would happily watch. I need ideas but where to start?!! My husband thinks you should be travel presenters on the telly. Happy thoughts to you both, because everything in life is how we choose to look at it. x

@roguz444 3 года назад

I loved this! I started a gratitude journal when I was I was living in Australia in 2007. On one side I wrote what I was grateful for that day. On the other side what I was grateful for, that hadn't happened yet. The things started happening for me that I wrote down. Our minds are and thoughts are so powerful. I wish for all of you more happiness than you can imagine.

What are we grateful for? Well, one of the things we are grateful for is Travel Beans. In this crazy, sad year, you two have helped lift our spirits with your adventures, your humor, and your personal stories. Thank you! By the way, the benefits of an attitude of gratitude were known to the practitioners of "Stoicism" (a school of philosophy) as far back as ancient Greece. It was central to their philosophy. You might enjoy some reading on the Stoics.

Never would have imagined you were ever depressed. With that precious smile, I thought to myself, what did I do wrong to not be this happy. Today is the first day I found this channel, and it is great and your smile is probably the thing I like best about it, and your personality. Of course don't forget to be grateful for your husband! Probably number one. For me, I am grateful to God for giving me all the answers to my questions and prayers, and though I suffer now, and we all do, his plans for this earth are everything to me. “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, · Nor have entered into the heart of man · The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”. Reading the Bible can make everything clear. And understandable. May God Bless your heart! I know he absolutely can!!! And I hope and pray he will!!!

I was on and off depression medication for 17 years at the end on huge amounts, feeling worse and more suicidal, not taken anything for 10 years now. Yes better to ride the storm. Well done. Love your channel.

@dirkjansen4309 3 года назад

Talking about this issue so free and open in public is is VERY BRAVE of you. Wow. In great parts of many societies, talking about depression and mental problems is obviously still a taboo - while talking about physical problems is quite "normal" and not a big deal. Anyway, it is good to see the clever, funny and wonderful Alex at your side. We are so sorry, that you got scammed AGAIN (remember the VW-Van!)! Jesus! Thanx again for your inspiration. Go ahead, Beans!

I've struggled with depression as so many have. It's so true about being grateful and changing the 'radio doom and gloom' in your head - as one book I read called it. I'm daily grateful - amazed tbh - that I'm a Dad. My 2 are teenagers, but it still floors me 2 people in this world call me Dad.

Thank you Emma. I think it's a nice tool for changing how you view things throughout your day. If you know you're going to be noting what you're grateful for each day, then you're going to look for those things everyday. Having a positive outlook at you experience everything throughout your day instead of a negative attitude about those same things, leaves you happier at the end of it. So, the tool you describe helps you train your mind to look for good. And, since we always find what we are looking for...

Such a relatable video, I very much enjoyed it. Very grateful for this lazy day, and my pups keeping my feet warm while I surf RU-vid. On a side note, I was lucky to visit Brighton (I'm from the States so were able to fly nonstop Chicago to Gatwick and take the short scenic train in to Brighton) in August 2019, and was so pleasantly surprised. Such an artsy, seemingly close nit community. One of the many highlights was finding a great barber who had a place tucked away with just one chair for hair cutting off the high street. He was a really interesting guy. I definitely plan on visiting Brighton again!

I feel your pain; I was scammed on an apartment in Brussels (I was moving there for an internship). I paid probably near one thousand pounds and after a quick image search, I realised that the apartment in question was in London, NOT Brussels, and I had thus been scammed. It is just the worst feeling, knowing that someone has just cheated you. I felt violated. I got some of the money back this year after Western Union did a massive inquiry involving a whole network of scammers. It took 4 years to get some sort of money back but I'm happy I did. I also realise how naive I was back then. Now I think 'of course it was a scam!' But 22 year old Kristina didn't know this! I also know what you mean about 2020 weirdly being the best year of your life. This year has been the worst in so many ways for me but also the best personally. I finally started a business venture I've always wanted to and just got more creative! All the best for the end of your 2020! I hope you can travel more next year (as I hope to!)

Thank you for sharing your journey. It’s really hard to deal with depression and you provide hope to those that feel hopeless. I’m so glad you got your money back and that scoundrel is in jail! There is so much to be grateful for and we need to focus more on that than what’s not going right. Tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone so “today is the day that the Lord has made so let us rejoice and be glad in it.” I think King David was right on with that verse. Yes live the good old days! Stay safe and God bless💞🙏🏻

Thank you for being so candid about your depressions. When I first experienced it 10 years ago it was more taboo to discuss. While it’s still taboo to some people, talking about it honestly changes that over time. I’ve been on and off anti-depressants three times now, taking then when I feel like I need them, and then weaning myself off VERY SLOWLY when I don’t, all with the guidance of my doctor. Your honesty is refreshing and hopefully liberating for some people experiencing the same things! ❤️

@SetCCC 3 года назад

Thank you for sharing your journey! My aunt is bi polar and her depressive episodes are very bad. The meds truly saved her life multiple times. So I'm a believer in medicine BUT I really wish doctors would also prescribe exercise, counseling and things like an appreciation journal. If my aunt had learned some of these things, I think it could have staved off some of the depressives episodes. It wouldn't cure it but I think it could have helped. She's doing great now btw. Thank you again for sharing.

I got scammed out of most of my life savings a couple of years ago, and now with the economic consequences of this pandemic, it looks like I will become penniless and homeless by the summer. A chat with the local council about trying to get a local authority dwelling, looks fairly bleak - there are so many facing similar circumstances. My last years will be characterised by poverty, hardship and possibly homelessness - not what I'd planned at all! However, walking, cycling, nature and appreciation of friends are getting me through this difficult time, and I have good health! Life can be more random than we like to think. Best wishes to your continuing happiness, Emma.

Hi Emma & Alex. I just clicked onto your piece of advice about mental health , i know all too well about mental health as i was diagnosed with Bipolar syndrome type 2 , i can really relate to your plight Emma , as like you said it can be as something as simple as just getting out of bed that can be such an absolute effort in it’s self to do that each day. I find so many things such a damn struggle to do , things like driving to appointments , besides Bipolar i suffer from an array of other illnesses including ( OCD , SCHUEMANNS DISEASE OF THE SPINE , SCHOLIOSIS , OF THE SPINE , the whole lower part of my spine sits , bone on bone , i walk with a limp because i have one leg that is shorter than the other one , with all my issues my pain management consists of morphine 100 ml per day , & other drug’s that i wish i could stop taking as they are not good for you. P.S. MY APOLOGIES FOR THE SPELLING OF MY AILMENTS , EMMA & ALEX. I have other symptoms to which i am embarrassed to mention , so we’ll leave it here ). I’m always telling myself , there is someone out there that is mostly worse off then you , so stop your whinging & wining & try & get up & do something. Easier said then done. The pain i’m in every single day is excruciating to say the least guy’s. It puts my depression so far down i have attempted to take my life on a couple of occasions but my wife at the time was too well aware of my demeanour , she knew when i had taken way over my daily limit , & being a sister in a private hospital she knew all the signs to look out for with people that take morphine for pain management. It has destroyed my marriage , i am single now , i lost the love of my life through having been stricken down with all that is wrong with me. I guess till death do we part , wasn’t on her values , never mind maybe this is how it’s supposed to be. I still love 💕 her. But unfortunately it’s only one sided. Well Emma i’m so happy for you , that you got yourself out of the hole. Your now a Mexican jumping bean 🫘 lol’s. Happy to see you , yourself again , congratulations on winning the fight girl. Take care of yourselves , & BEANS OUT !!! Namaste 🙏

Thanks so much for sharing your struggles and then your victories. I'm grateful for my home, my husband, Fred our darling cat, our health, the fact that we don't need much to be happy, it's having the right attitude and keeping things simple. Take good care.

I really am thankful for the variety of vlogs I follow. Emma, your story makes me happy. I am thankful for my wife of many years, our house, our ability to do things like golf during this pandemic with friends, and while we miss our son and his family, I am thankful that they are all well. I am hopeful to be traveling again soon, as I am sure you are. However, in the meantime, we should all be thankful for the trips we have made and the joys we have shared. Keep up the good work, Emma. And as for Alex, I can only echo Lucas Pickford's comment below - MARRY HER ALEX.

I think that one of the best lessons I have learned from a tribe from Peru (the Ititas) they say that you have to "think with the heart and feel with the brain" and this has help me so much. Thank you Emma. And beans out. Se cuidan chicos. Adiós. 🤗😘

I appreciate this video very much. I have also struggled with anxiety and depression. 2013 was my year of gratitude by way of a gratitude jar. It really was a revolutionary year for me. We love your videos and look forward to what comes next. We're hoping to retire to Italy one day. Perhaps we'll cross paths out in the world. All the best! Thom and Kelly.
