⭐ About Travel Beans:
Hello and welcome to our channel! 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!

While I can understand Emma’s hesitation about letting go of this van because she customized it, a different camper van with the necessities in it will make your ‘family’ trips much more enjoyable. Two things you might want to consider having in the van is a toilet and a shower. It will help with bath time an potty training when you’re out traveling the world with baby Noah.

@Anberel Год назад

You don’t need a shower or a toilet for a kid. Potty training toilets for toddlers are quite small and portable, and any plastic tub will do for washing the babe.

@lesleyhughes3174 Год назад

As a fulltime nomad for 5 plus yrs, a senior, a mother of three, Nana of three, I feel fully qualified to tell you, no need for the toilet and shower. Unless you do van life, know van life, not sure how you can advise what can and can't be managed. When it is what it is, you do what you do. Nothing is impossible. If you need all home comforts, cannot bear to rough it, this life is most definitely not for you.

@tonys1636 Год назад

They have a compost toilet in the van and a portable shower. A washing up bowl is large enough to bathe a baby.

@TeutonicNordwind Год назад

@@lesleyhughes3174 We are doing a build on a Promaster right now - high roof, 159wb extended length and are putting in a toilet and a 30x32 shower. Because we can. They will fit. We can "rough it" just fine. Did so on our northern Michigan off grid property over 20 years. Still have an outhouse. Lived with no electricity except occasional generator until we put in a solar system 4 years ago. We are civilized and would rather be able to shower in the dead of winter and drop a deuce in our own "home" with no lingering smell, thanks. Unless space or money is preventing you, why wouldn't you?? LOL Otherwise, I would take the three bathrooms out of the house and make even bigger family room and bedrooms.

@TeutonicNordwind Год назад

@@Anberel A nice size sink and/or a tub would do fine for kid. Nice for parents to have a sink though. A toilet inside is quite nice too but not needed for a kid in diapers.

I so look forward to your unique travelogues every Monday. The two of you manage to be informative and hilarious at the same time. Of course, the little one (Noah) is "icing on the cake," always adorable....Be the Man and regale us with some more, oh so naughty, nicknames for Emma. We who follow you expect nothing less!...Love and (virtual) hugs from the West Coast of the United States--Portland, Oregon. (Just turned 73 but there's a 20-year-old inside my body.)

@pixelukulele401 Год назад

If it makes you feel better, I've started living in a suv last year and I've just had to make a bed that turns into a double bed so one of my 3 mini clones can come and stay with me at a time. Its cramped, but they bloody love it. They don't like going back home to mummy 🤭. Next year, I'll be able to take all 3 when I get a vw camper. Awesome video. You have a beautiful baba beanie. Keep the van lol. Have😅 you seen the beds you can get for the cab? You can get a single and a bunkbed.

@crazgirl80 Год назад

Add a tent to your set up. That way You can set up a pack and play . An inflatable rectangular swimming pool makes a cool play yard for a baby . Throw in some padding , some colorful toys.

@lindabarker7142 Год назад

Great suggestions. Also nice to take a wagon along when the child is older.

@tammy2423 Год назад

Sell it to someone who will love it just like you did! and give them that fun adventure as a single person or couple and buy and embrace a family van. Its okay. You will truly love it! U both rock!

@louisalove3912 Год назад

Totally agree! A part of becoming parents is accepting that you have to let parts of your old life go, and embrace the new with open arms. I hope they can make travelling work, I can see it being easy with a baby, but getting more difficult when he becomes a toddler.

@trish_b Год назад

I love the idea of holding off and using the money saved to rent cool spaces or campervans! What ever you guys do, I am sure it will be great!

@nathanhomer7020 Год назад

Add a rock & roll bed in the back with seatbelts for a baby seat & a double passenger seat then there are child cot beds that fit across the front seats in a vw. For when he gets older there are child safety nets for the pop top bed (our daughter is 5 & now sleeps up top with a safety net) also add a awning for extra living space. Jobs a goodun 👍

@hallscroft Год назад

We travelled in a VW campervan for several months when our baby was little. It got harder when he started to get mobile because he was no longer happy to sit in his car seat for long journeys, so we had to stop at that point. Do it now, don't wait!

@RiaEvans-x8f Год назад

Loved today's video. If you want to hold on to your little van, how about buying a tiny caravan to tow behind as your bedroom and possibly have a shower room in it as well, to make your life a little easier with a newborn. You can leave the caravan at a campsite and go exploring for the day using your van.

@pauldupre2269 Год назад

I like that idea. Best I've seen yet!

@cggnow Год назад

I had actually wondered if the van had enough power to tow around their small car to do the exploring, but I think I like your idea better 🙂

@helenlayley Год назад

I agree with this, tow your bedroom or use tents. Change out the bed for a bench seat which can be a bed if needed. Seat baby and an adult there and use it as a day van. Keep the lovely kitchen/dining/seating area that Emma built and just sleep elsewhere. Our T5, George, is now 15, the kids are 18 and 14 years old. I can't part with George either! We used the bench seat bed when the second child was small enough to sleep with us, plus a cab bed over the front seats. Since then we just throw people out into tents!

@juttagrimmer2058 Год назад

Aww, do you know I have two babies who are 30 and 28, we camped with them from when they were both tiny….I love what you are both doing. We have a old Italian van now, but our babies are too into their own lives to camp with us now, we love using it still. You two remind me that I may have Grand babies of our own and we will most definitely introduce them to the wonderful world of being in the outside, one way or another.🥰

@katherinemaas6712 Год назад

Living in a van with a child does get easier, you know! We were VW campers (Kombis) before we had a family, and we kept on camping through both girls' babyhood and until they were about 7 and 10. At that point we sold it because it needed a LOT of body work (rust) that we felt we couldn't afford. The family who bought it fixed it up and camped in it for many years with THREE kids. We became tenters until after the girls grew up and left home. But I sometimes still regret selling that old camper and wonder if we could have made it work longer if we'd tightened our belts. Just like you, Emma, just going into the camper had a calming effect on me, and I still remember the comforting smell of it. It definitely helped that the camper was equipped with seatbelts in the rear. When the girls were babies, they slept in a portable cot, so they couldn't roll off the bed in the night. When after they were a bit older, they slept together downstairs and the grownups went up top. In our 50s, we bought another VW camper, this time a Westfalia, because sleeping on the ground was getting hard for our aging bones, and by then we were living in a rainforest, so we really appreciated being under cover. That worked until we were in our 70s and the aging bones wanted more sleeping room than the Westfalia had, so we gave it to the daughter who had small kids herself.

Back in 1979 my Dad came out of the RAF, we all travelled around Canada, America & Mexico for 6 months in a VW campervan, my Mum, Dad, me at 3 years old & my 2 brother's were 13 & 15 years old!! We all managed to fit 😍 And my parents are still married, their 60th Wedding Anniversary this year. 💕

Can I just say how much I appreciate that you haven’t turned your channel into just an endless montage of your baby. It’s great that you’re sharing the challenges of traveling as new parents, but it’s still about the travel. Too many channels I follow have been ruined for me because they stopped showing regular content and it became about everything their baby is doing.

@noornoornoor23 Год назад

I get your point. I on the other hand love those channels :P The only reason I watch Flying the Nest is coz of their kid. What other channels do you know of who were travel channels and then they had babies? May like to give them a try :)

@vicki9929 Год назад

Have you thought of bolting seatbelts to the floor between/behind the front seats? You could belt his car seat there at the floor while still being able to reach him.

@monicabrown3789 Год назад

We have a 1981 VW Vanagon weekender. Not a camper, only the back seat folds into a bed. My husband and our 3 kids did a 3 week camping trip across the US. We set up a tent and slept in it. One night it was raining so hard the dome tent folded in half. We needed up putting down the backseat and my husband, the 2 oldest kids and I squeezed onto it and the little guy slept on the middle seat. We made it work. I wish we had your camper. I think you should keep you van and modify it so your bed would convert to a seat for travel that you can mount seat belts for the baby seat. But convert easily at night for sleeping. Maybe you could find a used VW van seat for this. Ours was a rear engine van. You could build a platform for that portion of the bed and have storage under it for extra baby stuff and have the bench seat with seat belts in front of it that would convert to the rest of your bed. You could leave your bedding on the back part during travel then just pull it over the converted seat at night. We also had a 1971 VW Camper that had a cot that went over the front seats and the 5 of us travelled in it for awhile. Had the pop top also. Now my husband and I travel in a 2000 Class A diesel pusher. Can’t wait to see what you decide to do. Good luck.

@allisonnewman6580 Год назад

And I think it's wonderful that your van traveling even with a baby you are showing him marvelous miraculous wonderful things you're teaching him at a young age he's going to be so smart and learn so much don't listen to anybody if they tell you any different or anything negative about camping in a van and traveling with their baby you are doing amazing keep it up!!!!!!

@sherriclearlake1611 Год назад

Great video! One suggestion from the US - double check car seat requirements for whichever states you want to visit - they can be quite restrictive. For example in California "Children under the age of 2 must ride in a rear-facing car seat in the back seat until they reach either 40 pounds or 40 inches in height or more."

@monicabrown3789 Год назад

I used a swing to calm my son. We took it everywhere. They make smaller ones now that would fit better in your camper van. We used rechargeable batteries to power it. Saved lots of money on regular batteries as he used it all the time. Made it easy to be able to take a shower or cook dinner as he was very content napping in it. I looked up used van seats for your van here in the states and they are available and come with the seatbelts built in, so you would just bolt the seat to the floor and belt the car seat to the chair. They were $250-550 per seat USD . So I’m sure you could probably find one in the UK also. Good luck.

@treehuggingmusician595 Год назад

My first born was fussy in the evenings and required a car ride, while I sang a German lullaby to get him to sleep. I don't know what it is about babies and car rides. I agree with others who have mentioned that traveling is easier while babies are young and not mobile. You just have to stop to feed them and diaper them at regular intervals but they seem to enjoy sleeping in their car seat.

@chels3429 Год назад

Hi guys!! Keep the van!! You will be happy you did in the long run! And just like you say! When he gets a bit older, it will be perfect, especially with the bed above! Also, Emma put her whole soul into making it the special van that it is, and I truly think you'd all be heartbroken for a long time to come, if you got rid of it. Maybe use it, and then store it when you want to go for longer excursions? Rent another larger van for those said journey's?! Anyway you look at it, be safe, have so much fun, and thank you for filming for us all!! Love from Oregon, USA.

Emma, don't worry about the hiking with you "mom body". The more you do it, the more it will come back, and you are still very freshly post partum. (One of my favorite memories was sitting on the side of a trail in Banff just feeding my 3 month old, I had to give up as I couldn't manage any further and it was an out and back, and my group met me as they came back out. But I chatted with so many wonderful people passing by, and it was so nice to just sit quietly and nurse in nature; even if it was kind of a bummer to give up on the hike.)

My husband and I were just remarking over the weekend while we were camping as a family of three that it was so much harder when are almost 14 year old was a baby and toddler. We did it, it was hard but worth it. On Saturday night, we were treated to watching a camp fire that our son built and maintained. Sadly, the time from when he was a baby to now has flown by. It might seem like a long time before you can properly use the UK camper van, but that time will fly by. Enjoy the travels as a family of 3.

We traveled with our 2 boys in a Volkswagen Rialta. We all loved it it had four captains seats (the front two rotate to face the rear) and the back two fold flat to make either one queen bed, or two twin beds. The rear has a dinette that seats 4 and also folds into a queen bed. It has a cleaver wet bath, as well as a galley kitchen. It was the perfect small camping van for a family.

@immgrntsrus Год назад

Keep the van!! Rent it to subscribers looking to have UK adventures in the Bean Machine, and use the money to pay for travel when you’re not with Phoenix. 🤓 I’d rent it with my husband if it weren’t a manual transmission 😅 but I’m sure you can find lots of people who’d like to use it. As for your next trips, you should do the train from Bergen to Oslo when you go to Norway. It looks amazing and Noah might sleep the whole time with the gentle motion. But do try to be in the US as much as you can. From now to October you can have so many wonderful experiences in nature with your stateside van. ❤🚐

Well done for trying out van life with scrumptious Noah! A couple of channels I dip into are Glyn Hudson (new baby in a Nissan NV200, recently!) and Life is Vanderful in Aus. They started van life with a toddler (and deserve many more supporters considering the work they’ve put into their channel). Their van tour vid tackles where their daughter sleeps (not where they’d planned!) and the third travel seat for her. Hope that helps! Onwards and upwards, hopefully with some sleep! Laura, Warks UK

@susanjensen5787 Год назад

@4WhatItsWorth Год назад

We LOVE Forbidden Island. So much fun! 👏😊 Playing as the Explorer & the Engineer usually yields the best chance of success for us. Co-op games are in such short supply considering how big of a market there is for them (both board games and video games). Hubby & I started sleeping separately about 9 years ago after we got back from a trip to Europe. I had horrible jet-lag (a 30hr flight will do that to you!) and needed to get some rest before returning to work. So we slept separately for a week and both noticed how much better we felt not waking each other up constantly. So we reluctantly decided to give sleeping separately a try and it was the best thing we ever did. Can't wait to see the inflatable kayak in action. We are hoping to get one ourselves so keen to see how you like it :) I would say our version of "boy-racers" here in Australia are called Hoons.

We have 1973 Westfalia bay window that I restored, It is now part of the family. Our 2 kids have grown up with it. both kids a bit scared to go in roof till they were 6-7 but we have a cab bunk/hammock that goes over front seats and it was ideal even from a baby we put the crib on it. I'm sure they do a T4 equivalent now, try NLAVW or JK We found it easy till they got a bit older/bigger then we invested in an awning. It would be a shame to get rid of your van, I couldn't and now our eldest is driving he wants to use it. So many great memories made. good luck with everything.

I think it would be awesome if you guys got a new van but one that Emma builds again. Dont get a ready made camper for the UK but if you got a sprinter and Emma could slowly build it out she would be able to express her creative side and make it very custom for your needs. It could be a side project on the videos like her solo video that she did. Maybe once every few weeks we could get a build update video. That would be really cool I think :)

Add the bench seat I have one in my van you can fit a full size mattress on top of it , what we do is use the fold up table to hold up the end of the mattress and then we can use the folding seat for the little ones, and it is very comfortable.

Noah is adorable!! They grow up so fast, before you know it, he will be racing you to the camper van for a trip! Our grandson is six and as soon as he gets out of school for the summer, we are taking him on a weekend camping trip. He loves it so much, sometimes when he’s at our place, he and I will sleep in our trailer in the backyard for a little backyard camping adventure 🥰

Totally understand Emma’s hesitance to sell the VW van seeing that she built the interior (and you have certainly learned your lessons from being scammed). However, you have considerations with Noah until he gets bigger. Just love how you talk about things and the pet names you have for each other and Noah. Shows how much you love each other. Love it.

@itsavdubthing692 Год назад

Lol, I'm loving that Noah settles to rap. Our son Ben (now 21) used to be the same with Cypress Hill, especially the Black Sunday album lol

Please spend time in the Natural Parks of Spain. So many beautiful mountains and lakes. Everyone promotes the cities, but to me the nature is where it is at! ❤ Enjoyed this video. Cool walk to the old bunker!

My firstborn was a Full time screamer unless driving. Took about four months, after which he was quiet and pleasant. It was like someone hit a switch when he turned four months. Though I also worked on relaxing myself and giving up regret for the life I’d had, and wouldn’t have again. That might have helped as I focused on the joy of the present instead of the past. But I think it more likely he just grew out of it. None of my other kids (I had five) were like that!

If you ever come out to Austin, TX in the US, my husband, 6 month old son, and I would love to take y'all to a board game pub and play games!

Noah is a beautiful boy!😊you guys still make me laugh, wonderful!

@carolineault6360 Год назад

Keep your van. I had a vw campervan and I use a powerchair. I absolutely loved it. Not able to travel far these days due to a change of my needs. But the adventures of my travels in my vw campervan and an old yellow transit live with me daily.

@thetruthseeker6668 Год назад

I like this family.... Calms me down, such a peaceful vibe..... and noah is the best addition

@samdriver9469 Год назад

To be honest when you asked Noah if he had any comments before your outro to me with his tones sounded very much like Beans out which wouldn't surprise me since he has heard it so much during the pregnancy. Cheers and safe travels from Canada.

@theathjr Год назад

See !! I knew you clever beans could throw together some great content with your little baby bean in tow ! Loved it.

@tomwinch9107 Год назад

If you do consider converting another van (you may have said 'never again' last time, if so just ignore this comment), another van travel channel, love sundays, has recently become a family and is currently converting a transit into a family van to replace a Vauxhall vivaro van (similar size to your T4). There's quite a lot of info in Shaun's vlog if you want to DIY or just get layout ideas. The other van life channel I started watching for the layout (and stayed for a similar level of crazy that you have!) is an Australian couple called Lydia and Wehan - whilst they don't have children their layout has a permanent raised bed (lots of storage and no need to keep making the bed / moving stuff around all the time) plus a small dinette to eat at ... the thought I had was that the dinette would make a great bed when Noah was old enough to need one, and provides a place to eat / work at separate from your bed Hope this is vaguely useful / interesting to you or anyone else ...

Major props for to Mr. Bean for his work going back and forth to set up great shots!

@JarrettGaza Год назад

Just always think of Noah first. Not just what makes you happy. You guys are young and have plenty of time to do whatever you like but be mindful of him to the first couple of years.

@kirgeek Год назад

you should definitely go to the isle of arran- pick a sunny time! lamlash is the most beautiful and peacefull area of the island but there is plenty to do, see and enjoy. the beach is gorgeous and the food is fresh and unique (as are the drinks). I went there with my partner and we dont have kids but i do remember remarking on how lovely this isle would be for young families.

Go back to 7:40 and you can hear the spirit mess with your mic..I went back 10 times just to make sure it wasnt my earbuds.... I got goose bumps

@Stephrp613 Год назад

could you possibly install a chair in the back? Flying the Nest installed a seat for their lil girl Hunter.

@Stephrp613 Год назад

i heard Noah at the end saying Beans out

My children loved a bumpy ride in the stroller…great sleep

@christielevin548 Год назад

Your Noah is precious! I especially loved how he was talking to you just at the end of your video. The way he looked at you was pure love! Regarding future travel plans - I grew up in Seattle and can say with enthusiastic honesty that Western Washington has SO MUCH you would love to visit. I now live near Sacramento not far from San Francisco in Northern California. This area also has so much to see and do. In our area there are beautiful vineyards in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains where wine-tasting is a favorite activity. Lake Tahoe is less than 2 hours east of where I live in Folsom, and Napa Valley and the Pacific Ocean is about the same distance west of here. When you do start planning your trip to the West Coast, let me know and I'll answer questions and send info. God bless your traveling family!

If you come to Quebec Canada, promise you would have an amazing time. Would be happy to show you around. So many travel bloggers miss Quebec because of the language but if you come down you will find so many things to do in this province. If you want more info reach out. Would be more than happy to help you plan or answer any questions you may have. Good Luck With Noah!! And yes one day, you will be able to sleep in again. Hang in there!

Van/coach seat tracks ,similar to ones fitted in Mercedes Vito. A custom welded fold up seat . Job sorted !

@danielruel5099 Год назад

You guys are my hero ´s Noah his so cute and always okay with a baby always time to go with the flow sending love your way French Canadian (Suzanne)

@Twogirlsabroad Год назад

Just keep what you have. Maybe you can find a way to add another bucket seat behind the passenger seat. And make the bed more foldable for driving. Like a futon or something like that.

@jackiegunter6001 Год назад

Hey Benn's Family. Emma you are absolutely glowing motherhood looks great on you. Keep doing these little get always, and if y'all decide to get another campervan at least will have these memories to share with Noah. But whatever you decide to do and share we will be right here for it. Much love from Baltimore MD USA.

@edferreira5372 Год назад

Guys this was a very fun and cute video, loved the fact that it was the three of you. Dont give up on the van...

@FreezyAbitKT7A Год назад

have welder fabricator install steel cleats on the floor to strap the baby seat to or.... get another bucket seat that can be pinned in and be used as outdoor seating when stopped.

@journeytakesatrip Год назад

If you put a double seat in the front you should be able to put a baby seat in the passenger seat if not the middle seat, though you can get isofix bases that fasten in with a lap belt or fit a three point seat belt that fixes into the ceiling. These options would make your van ok for occasional travel with a baby/ toddler but if you’re wanting to live full time and give up the house then I’d suggest getting something quite a bit bigger with enough floor space for crawling, toddling and playing with toys. I had a Luton van when my boy was small, now he’s a lot bigger we’ve sized up to a 7.5 ton truck as being full time on the road I now need a large enough family home to see him through the impending teenage years.

@hollym6381 Год назад

You probably know this, but there is a car ferry from Denmark, that takes you to the faroe islands and onto iceland, you could take your van all the way.

@MysticalMum68 Год назад

My sister and her husband called each other pig and piggy, we all swore that when their son came along he would be called piglet! So, I totally get the wonderfully unique pet names for one another, I think it is adorabubble! And in Victoria, Australia we call them "Rev Heads" or "Try Hards".
