⭐ 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!

Went off and bought even better house more amazing with 15 acres at significantly less. A few months later teh real estate agent reached out and said that house I was interested the buyers are willing to accept my offer ... oh well too late I bought a better house at a better price with lots of land ...

    Really exciting! Having gone through this process several times myself I was caught up in your emotional journey. One thing I would suggest though - Sweden is full of beautiful little houses by lakes. Keep looking - if that is your budget, then you will be able to find your actual dream home here. Best of luck and I look forward to following the adventure.

    Ive lived in Sweden for 25 years. Thiugh I live in Gothenburg we have a stuga as well. As people have mentioned, ask around in any area you are considering about how the mosquitos are in the summer. Our stuga is by a lake and there are some mosquitos, but it's bearable. Other areas are impossible! Wintrrs arent too bad if you consider that exotic. If you dont like the cold, then they are norw challenging. Sweden is a lovely country and jn my view the general standard of living andnquality of life are much better than in the UK. However there are social issues, dodgy politics with the right-wing parties currently leading the pllitucal dialogue. In general people are very accepting of Brits, but I have known people who have moved to the countryside and not felt welcome in the local community. Personally I have never regretted moving here. I adore Sweden and would never move back, but as with anywhere, it is worth knowing that it are some issues to think about. I hope you get to spend some more time here and test it out and enjoy the beautiful Swedish countryside.

    • @23Gears
      @23Gears Před dnem

      Regarding bidding on properties..When we have bought houses there have often been bidding processes where places have gone up by 30%. In other cases we have experienced having many people at the viewings and then there have been very few bids. So you need to be prepared with a personal maximum limit and back out if needs be. Most houses in popular areas sell after just a few viewings. There are rarely chains and houses tend to just sell unless there are problems with them or they are in really difficult areas.

    Have to admit that after 27 years living in France, I was feeling a bit pessimistic about the situation at the Peugeot dealership. Customer service (outside of restaurants) can be a bit rubbish - and from experience we've not had the best service from Renault garages. But then again, I live in the Paris region. So that probably changes my outlook. Great that things got sorted. Playing the baby card won't work for us now, son is 17 and very big and tall, daughter is 13. Make the most of it. LOL
