    ⭐ 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!

      God bless this man who had the strokes. I was also fit ,and worked full time as a Midwife. Driving home from a night shift, I had the first of 4 strokes. I managed to stop the car on a , luckily, nearly empty road. I lost speech and movement in my right side. Whilst I recognised my husband and 2 young sons, I couldn't remember my sons' names, which was terrifying for them. I slowly recovered, and eventually returned to work. We re-evaluated our lives and decided we had to live our dreams. We emigrated from the UK to Australia, then moved to New Zealand. We enjoyed both Countries but I missed Europe. The close proximity of different Countries and cultures. I had my 3 rd stroke, and we decided to fulfil the dream I'd held, since Childhood. We packed again, and moved to Europe . We're all healthy, ( despite a small stroke. Turns out a major artery hadn't ever formed in my brain) We're happy in a way we've never been.,
      The only true treasure in life, worth having, is our health !!

    It was great to see you guys again. I have been watching Luca and Sara for a bit now. Their story tugs at my heart. I don't think they realize just how strong and resilient they are. Such wonderful people.......not to mention Lucia, lol. So happy you met up with them. Loved Sweden, but Italy fascinates me. Do your research, schools, medical, air quality, seasons, etc. I have heard Italy isn't high on the list of places some people would chose. Keep in mind you aren't "some people". You do you! Daunting isn't it?..... but exciting. Just don't bite off more than you can chew..... I know, old cliché, but I am old, so I can say that. I hope you find what makes your hearts sing. Sooner rather than later. My personal preference is anything coastal. I truly believe in the health and healing properties of the sea. So I guess that would be one vote for Sicily. Hugs for Noah ❤❤❤

      @@TravelBeans I want to jump in to address something said that you are responding too about how Italy isn't high on the list compared to other countries for things like education and medical. I can tell you from personal experience as an American living in Italy the last 7 years and having lived here in the past, Italy is exceptional when it comes to education and healthcare. I can compare it to the US, though not to England, when I tell you that the schools here are top notch. You will never have to worry about your child getting a good education here. Also, for medical, it does highly depend on where you are, but Italy's system is among the best in Europe and beyond. The doctors are professional, the care fantastic, and the facilities are modern and efficient. However, having previously lived in Sicily and now live in Friuli, the healthcare is not nearly as good in Sicily as it is in the north of Italy so keep that in mind.

    There's no such thing as a 1 euro house. You are given the property in the villages that run the "1 euro" scheme and the houses that are in the scheme are usually uninhabitable. You sign a contract that you will invest € 25,000 to € 30,000 in refurbishment or renovation within 3 years of signing. Many have minimum length of residency schemes ie you agree to live in the property for 2 or 3 years or so. Maybe longer in some cases. It's a serious commitment. Some houses need full electrical rewiring or wiring for the first time. Ditto plumbing. And roofs cost a FORTUNE to renovate / replace unless you're a roofing expert.
    I'd say the 1 euro houses are strictly for builders, electricians, plumbers, roofers, or very talented amateurs. It's a serious business. It's not just about "being on holiday" and La Dolce Vita.
    (And Italian bureaucracy, taxes, utilities etc are a nightmare.)

    • @AndriyValdensius-wi8gw
      @AndriyValdensius-wi8gw 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      The € 20 to € 30 thousand investment is a MINIMUM, for small houses. Larger houses require much work which can run into hundreds of thousands or even millions in the case of some of these Italian palazzos on the market for € 70 or €90 thousand. Don't even think about it unless you have serious wealth.

    • @tonys1636

      No worse than renovating a semi derelict property in an AONB/conservation area in England, at least the hoops and miles of red tape are in English not Italian. The cost for materials and labour are far higher in England, finding period correct materials, fixtures and fittings is far harder.

    • @AndriyValdensius-wi8gw
      @AndriyValdensius-wi8gw 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      @tonys1636
      Of course a full renovation is expensive and tough in any country. I owned a house in a conservation area in Lincolnshire. I know, believe me. Nevertheless, in many of these Italian places really major work is required. I saw a video on a beautiful 18th century palazzo for sale for a really low price. Under 100,000 £, I think. The house or mansion had beautiful frescos which are art treasures in their own right. Not a job for any old Bob the Builder. The thing is that the property was 18th century. Nothing had been added or done since. No bathrooms or plumbing. Not sure about electricity. A proper refurbishment would probably cost millions. If you are an expert at that kind of thing, fair enough. Very few people are. That's all I'm saying. As for England being "more expensive", don't bank on it. I'm not familiar with Italy. But here in Normandy where I'm based, a local French guy quoted € 3000 for a replacement window ! A local English bloke did a beautiful job for just over € 400. And he's not particularly cheap either.

      To work hard on getting it finished with hopefully Not any extra costs 🤔. ( unless you have to get hulp to build )

    We were excited to hear (as Americans) that the US and Italy have reciprocity between the countries. We can buy homes in Italy, Italians can buy homes in America. We were thisclose to buying a vacation home in Italy because homes there can be so darn cheap. BUT, that idea was put on hold after we found out while we can buy a home there, we're limited to 6 months a year of visitstion that can't be consecutive months. So three months in Italy, three months back on the US, three months in Italy, etc. It was disappointing to learn this but c'est la vie.

    I heard from a farmer ho farms in Sicily that water on farms is quite unreliable and they had to scale down their plans of organic produce because of the water situation. They were buying bottled water. Water is diverted to supply city folk. The reservoir was extremely low this year so Sicily really needs a desalination plant badly as the weather extremes happens. “A reservoir is an artificial lake where water is stored”

I started watching you guys after you vid with Endless Adventure & started watching Luca & and Sara after saw the health scare on my timeline & and turned out cause was a rareish condition that I'm also at risk getting #CSFleak & in last few mths discovered I have Italian ancestry inc at least 1 that lived in Sicily as nobility (had zero clue) I always loved Italy especially Venice (had a Holiday there several yrs back) where I couldn't believe also ancestors from there, ecstatic to find out as my dna didn't pick it up as too far back beyond 500yrs 14th cen & I beyond. ps already knew also Portuguese ancestry & yes my bit of vikings maybe Swedish too 😅

    Have you thought of Belize? I’ve heard that there are many English speaking people there. I believe a lot of Americans have bought property down there.

AS far as finding a way to settle and where...I would look now at access to water, power and other climate and resource access. Then I would think about the government and social services..health care, senior care. I do not know how you could not consider these just as carefully as the cost of property.

I did that during COVID and lost 20 pounds and have been successful in keeping it off. I exercise in my basement to videos. I am 74 and I am in better shape than when I was in my sixties.

    Also for many people it may be of no importance but Spain as well as Ireland with the first two countries to side with the Palestinians who have been robbed of their birthright and the land of their ancestors for 3/4 Century on so I feel more in tune with these people than I would with the Italians who I do adore and where I have lived for about almost a year and study Italian and spoke Italian but I also spoke and studied Spanish so smart sticks for me as for language and I think in the end of the Spanish people have the bigger heart so that's what I will be
