Thank you so much for your support everyone, the comments have made our day and we will come back and read them during the bad moments. We have some amazing content coming up, really excited to show you :D
Depression can affect anybody regardless of status in life. If this statement could help decrease your episodes of depression by 1/1000, it would be great - you are a beautiful person outside but more importantly, your inner core, the person who you really are is more beautiful. You have a husband who loves you, and the whole world to explore - what more can you ask? I am dealing with a depression I think. Never been officially diagnosed but because of my medical background, I recognize the signs. It is not a nice thing to have.
You guys esp Emma should take even for a 1 month quick break back in UK just to refresh yourselves. Im sure it will help to alleviate depression because you will be back with your family and get some rest. As Emma said, she became depressed after travelling. I agree that it is one of the reasons that adds up to the depression because of chemical imbalance when tired or stressed and of course the pressure of earning by taking online english jobs just to pay for your travels.
Travel Beans we thankfull that our beloved country philippines is the one of your choice we thank u guys its good for you and good for us maybe bcuz of your blog can bring us more tourist .God bless u booth.
Travel Beans want to meet both of you guys,im so glad that both of you having fun in the Philippines 🇵🇭 I can’t wait to come home miss my country 😁
Travel Beans your videos r lit
In the Northeast America, we experience the cold winter months here and you will see the cold, naked trees. The lack of Vitamin D's do take a toll on us during those several months. Many here work extremely long hrs and save up every year to visit a nice, tropical beach. Many don't have enough vacation days to visit a sunny, relaxing island. You have experienced more than others by traveling and meeting people from other walks of life. That is important and being grateful makes us very appreciative of the wonders and beauty of life.
Gratitude is so important for a positive mind, I completely agree ❤️
Interest is the most important thing in life. Happiness is momentary, but interest is continuous. Maintaining an interest and learning everyday keep life in balance. The natural Vitamin D of the sun and learning about people through conversation make life more exciting and whimsical. Safe travels to both of you! I miss the Philippines.
Lovely comment! Thank you 🙏
The thing that makes you happy is in the Philippines. That’s it, nothing else. It’s not about the beauty of it but the ambiance and surroundings with the locals living in it
Yes it truly is a magical place :D
"There is a certain vibe here that you truly cannot explain unless you come here"
YES!!! Thank you for that.
And because of your travel blog, i suddenly realized how beautiful my country is. Thanks.
I hated to hear Alex not getting the love he deserves from the subscribers! He is hilarious! And yal are such a striking couple. Love yals videos, I went back from the beginning to watch them all 😄
Your enthusiasm about my country is very inspiring. For many years, I grew up believing my country is ugly. That is I why I thought the reason many Filipinos chose to leave. You are a wonderful couple. You changed my view of this country. Amazing infecting happiness and enthusiasm. More power and stay happy 🙏🏻
i am away from my country but through your vlogs i feel like i'm just at our backyard. thanks guys! you bring a lot of energy😍😍😍😍
Those drone shots - I CAN'T EVEN HANDLE THE BEAUTY!
I’m a Filipino American born in Virginia USA. I’ve been to the Philippines once when I was 5. I want to visit there again some day. Thanks for sharing your experience
... quest for happiness? i think is in your heart. You are a child of the universe and you are half way to answer it, within yourself.
Omg im so happy for you guys. Definitely visiting and meeting locals will get you out of depression.
To see you both Happy exploring the Philippines makes us Happy.Enjoy as we enjoy watching you guys!!!
Thanks Sam!!
People,no more skipping ads for these lovely couple pls,thank you!
Thank you, Alex and Emma for sharing your wonderful adventure in the Philippines. Watching your videos make us all happy.
11k subs today. I am willing to bet you will double that before next year. You guys are amazing!
Amazing shots. Very creative. Keep up the good work.
What a paradise.
You guys are creative... Very nice to see your perspective in the places you visit...
Philippines is paradise! Filipinos are genuinely nice people!
If happiness is what you seek, the Philippines is the place!
Live modestly in the Philippines.
Live a simple life in the Philippines.
You'll find a less stressful life in the Philippines.
Peace!..
I'm a fan of your channel! i too had anxiety and depression i hyperventilate, had vertigo feeling like theres' an earthquake or out of balance, palpitations, fear of the unknown, losing air like you can't breath and i had used anti depressants for a year but happy to ditch it by meditation and deep breathing. i guess the cure at-least for me is exercise to release endorphins (happy hormones), get in-touch with nature and just try to find the positive out of every negative situations.
We have just started a fitness bootcamp as we haven't exercised in a long time. It is definitely helping. Thanks for your comment!
for me being happy or what makes me happy is learning how appreciate life. anything from having to eat for a day, a job that can pay my bills and embracing on things that I have right now. I know it's sound like I'm contented or being in my comfort zone but that is just being me.
You both lovely on camera. Emma has a lovely friendly smile and so warm. And I love your facial hair. :) What makes me happy is a good old Filipino slow-cook meal with lots of veggies
I love you both, in equal measure! Saved these Philippines vids for when I booked the trip, starting a 18 month trip in April 20 and decided to start in the Philippines and so glad I did. Been watching you guys for years and I have to say you're just getting better and better. Thank you for sharing your personal experiences, especially the depression ( I know what that is like!) Trust me when I say that it does get better and you will overcome it, never feel guilty for how you feel. You're beautiful souls and my favourite ever youtubers 😘😘
Amazing! Beautiful sights, beautiful lady, beautiful couple. I’m going to Philippines!
You won't regret it :D
Hello I have suffered with depression and anexity before. And I can tell you my journey is here in the philippines. When I had to bring my grandfather there. Back to his home. And even though at the funeral everyone was sad. I realized sadness is always inevitable and we can’t escape that at all. But when I was in the philippines. I saw my culture just being happy no matter what happens to them. My cousin told me. “Why we are happy cause the life we live are not of status it’s more of keeping ourselves happy. No one else but ourselves and stay positive.” So I took that back home to Hawaii and never took a antidepressant pill ever!!!!. Seriously being there with the people, the family I never knew I had they kept me in great spirits. They love to laugh,and just live life. And I was thinking heading back home “ wow my family has nothing they are poor but rich with all the happiness” so keep doing what you love. And Rest In Peace grandpa I love you and my family in the philippines so you all are so caring and loving. My family taught me humbleness and taught me healing and I hope it brought you the same.
Gratitude is key to happiness. That is something I learned from you guys and will try hard to learn. I suffer from depression as well and seeing you guys travel and enjoy make my day! Stay strong Emma!
Yes I think gratitude and fulfilment are the keys to long term happiness. Thanks and stay strong Michael.
What makes me happy is Whenever i see you both smiling. Peace out.
Love the videos, background music in those landscapes. Beautiful guys
I adore you guys!
One piece of advice from me is to ‘keep going no matter what life takes you’
You guys made me braver!
Enjoy every bit of your adventure!
I just enjoyed watching your videos. It is humbling. We are all looking for that cure of depression and your videos just opened up lots of possibilities to those who are filling up the void in their lives. I am a Filipino, but I have not been to places that you have had been. It is pretty amazing that there are beautiful places that I never knew existed in the Philippines. Kudos!
Wow... great message about depression & teaching. Dis new adventures of urs r uplifting & informative - not just for d both of u, but for ur followers as well. All d best
you were a lovely couple adam and emma welcome to our country what made me happy is your vidio about our country. We filipinos appreciate so much of your creativy . MORE POWER TRAVEL BEANS
Thank you, we are so in love with Philippines and Filipinos
You have entertained thousands of your subscribers with your vlogs, following your story, both your 'bad' and happy moments. Everyone has them. You are living a life some of can only dream about because we are stuck chasing our dreams. Isn't that something to be happy about?
If there is something I may suggest though, try connecting with and making good friends here in the country. Don't call them strangers, just call them friends, I think they will like it.
I had my fair share of luxurious living and its true that material things can make you happy....but its superficial... i now live a very simple life.... house by the beach, small land to toil, garden and animals to tend, getting water from a well, chopping firewoods, going to "bayan" during market day... and i must say... that this is truly happiness! Being content and appreciative is the key to happiness for me.....
This sounds like a wonderful life you have.. and I can feel your happiness coming across in this message. I completely agree, appreciation is so important! ❤️ thank you
Yes...just observe the faces of the boat operators, waiters and waitresses, tricycle drivers, the children you met... economically hard up but still can afford to share their smiles and happiness even surrounded by natural and man made calamities eg. treasonous, murderous, corrupt political leaders.. Gratitude really is the key to happiness...!
samue
Yes, gratitude is key!! ❤️😊
Emma--The sun makes you happy. The smile of every people you met brings positive vibes. The place itself is happiness. The people are not rich with simple life but the positivity is there.
Keep doing what you're doing guys. Happiness is paramount. I can't wait to see those beautiful places my country has to offer. I had enough of every day routine , working shifts and surrounded by miserable , unhappy people , and cold dreary weather.. 😬😩😩
Whoww! Is it a pink beach... Awesome! Big fan of travel beans.
Your such a lovely couple, don't let negativity depressed you, enjoy life to the fullest, God bless both of you..
Alex and Emma, you guys are a great couple watch. I very much enjoy you videos!!! Love all your videos especially your story on how you both started and met!
I'm happy to know that you guys are enjoying your stay here in the Philippines. Thanks to your travel vlogs, I get to see places I've never been to. Pls continue what you're doing, as you strive to achieve your goal of happiness this year, allow us to join the ride as well, and hopefully thru you guys, we too get to experience and have our own happiness.
totally agree, they are so lovely ;-)
Aw thank you!! Comments like yours bring such a big smile to our faces when we read them! We hope you enjoy our upcoming videos of the Philippines ❤️🇵🇭
YOU are so lovely! 😁
I"M FILIPINO, AND WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY RIGHT NOW IS KNOWING THAT PHILIPPINES IS MAKING YOU HAPPY.
Many people can relate to you including myself. You’re vlog is so beautiful it can actually cure depression those who is watching it.
The reason I love your channel above other travel vloggers is both of you have a fantastic attitude towards life...I was a little shocked today about Emma's admission on anti-depressants (you seem so happy and unbeat on camera)....but thanks for doing that, it's great that you're both so honest and candid!
Thanks for all the tips and video....keep em coming! And Emma....hopefully you will find inner peace without the anti-depressants soon.....
Thank you so much.. it is a hard thing to admit on camera but it is something that SO many people are dealing with. Yet still most of us feel so alone and ashamed of it. I'm hoping the honesty will help people watching who are dealing with depression or anything like it to realise that they are not alone and it can happen to anyone.
Thanks for such a lovely comment, we hope you like our upcoming vids 😊❤️
Hi guys! Emma, I completely understand what you are going through as I too have been suffering from anxiety and depression from the age of 13 , have been on medication for it for most of my life and had a mental breakdown last July. It has been hard at work and making youtube videos as well. Travel is the thing which also makes us happy and there are many normal people living more simple lives. You will get there!🙂. Your channel is so much better than most of the successful travel vloggers! You will persevere! See you tomorrow! .... looking forward to meeting you both ( Adam)
Wow, thanks so much for this comment Adam. It's amazing how many people are dealing with something like this.. and it's comforting to know we are not alone. Looking forward to seeing you both too!
Emma, vitamin sea will take away your depression! You are in the right place Emma, good vibes and mother nature heals! Choose happiness, stay happy! Cheers and God bless!
You guys are blessed to travel unlike other people who cant even get out of their own island. And you have each other and you make people happy so be happy.
We are incredibly blessed and also incredibly grateful 🙏 Thank you
Emma you are so refreshing!so honest about your depression, I think acknowledging it, putting it out there is the best way to tackle this disease. You are beautiful inside out ..and the accent, my gosh!hahaha. Travelbeans makes us happy! Thank you Emma and Alex.. Alex you're "beautiful too! dang those blue eyes! ❤ Mabuhay!!
2 Thumbs up, Beans, one of yur best videos, would like to see the local eateries and hangout spots... thx
Hi Ems and Lex, very nice video. Keep it up Beans God bless you both. It's always fun in the.................
I am so happy that I stumbled upon one of your video then I am hooked. Keep on sharing your travels with the whole world. 🍻📷🏖
Love all your vlogs and really nice drone videos, love watching all of it. I learned many things from you guys and both of you are very entertaining, funny and honest. Will keep watching you videos over and over and looking forward to more vlogs.
Aw thank you so much, I look forward to making more videos for you to watch :D
Your both are stars, don't worry be happy!! waiting for you guys in Manila now..
Beautiful place. We had the pleasure of visiting Siargao as well, last August. We took some beautiful videos and pics as well. Can't say enough just how breathtaking some of the scenery was. Thanks for sharing!
A person with Beautiful soul normally has
Depression bec they feel so much negative energy from others,,
So surround ur self with nature green place ., drink more coconut and mango :) btw u might have iron deficient due to vegan diet
Not sure but take iron supplements and probiotics supplements
Ur sweet emma u can be yourselves in the the Philippines they will love u more
Don't blame others for your depression.
Marian C
Assume blaming ? When a person acts blaming others, well then u would hear me saying others fault and swearing but i did not so dnt assume i act like blaming.. what i am saying just avoid them bec those who are hurtful doesnt deserve the presence of positivity people/ sensitive soul
I agree.
It is not blaming others.
It is that good people with pure loving and caring souls are so different, that when they enter a room where there is another person who is quietly upset, this person is going to sense that immediately. She will feel the negative vibes right away. She will feel empathy. Sometimes the energy around her becomes overwhelming for her.
I've had depression for most of my life. It is very different from empathy. It is an innate chemical imbalance in the brain, not about empathy. Chronic stress more likely, but not empathy in itself.
chocoluver18, I get where you're coming from. I agree about avoiding toxic people. What I didn't agree with your original comment was when you implied that depression is all about "negative energy" from other people- because it's not.
Share a meal with a local, happiness is best when it is shared! Power on you guys!
Much love❤️❤️❤️
Life is short,enjoy while you can. Look around you esp in the Philippines ,people dont have much but their happy. appreciate what you have ,you are so blessed.... there will always be a lesser person and a greater person than you are !!! keep on smiling !!! have a blast...
The surest thing that would make people happy is to give love. Spread love. Give a smile, a hug, a handshake... Just love! 😃
Seeing you guys happy while having a great time travelling makes me happy. The possibility we'll cross paths somewhere in the next 6-8 months makes me happy. watching your vlogs make me happy. Dealing with my current predicament by viewing it as a positive rather than a negative experience will make me happy.
Sorry for late response. Finding it hard to keep up with comments now. Nice problem to have but a bit sad not being able to connect with everyone as much. Thats so nice, we are looking forward to meeting you (and your wife?) soon :)
Hi Emma! Just want you to know that I feel you. Depression sucks and it can strike with no warning, rhyme, nor reason. But do know that you are blessed! Much more than most people at that! So chin up and put up a good fight! Hey Alex! Take care of your precious Emma! Love you guys!
Goodluck you guys... Njoy your travels.. Forget the worries.. You guys living the dream.. How i wish i can same travels as you guys do... More power
Love you already guys! new subscriber here. Started watching your vlogs last night and I'm still watching right now and it's 5:46 in the morning! I'm enjoying your videos so much that I didn't literally notice the time! Cheers for the good life! Much love 💕
Oh wow! Thank you! So glad to hear you are enjoying the videos so much! Welcome to the channel Jon!
That’s a really brave thing to accept, Emma, depression is real and sometimes it just hits you hard. Hope PH and our people become your new happy pill, God bless you two and take care always!
Now that I can't travel anymore, I live through your videos, thank you.
We just recently started following you. It's nice that you openly talk about Emma's depression. I, Malin, have suffered depression for many years but never allowed myself to take antidepressants. Anyway, for me travelling helps me cope and I fall into it when we're not travelling. Some kind of escape maybe. Having some kind of purpose helps. We hitchhiked from Thailand to Spain last year. It gave me a lot of hope in humanity as people who pick up hitchhikers are so incredibly nice. Hope you reach all your goals and that Emma gets off her antidepressants smoothly. Much love and keep making videos. 💜🙏💜👍🏼
Thank you so much for your comment 🙏
If you haven't already, I highly recommend speaking to someone about your depression.. I was reluctant to speak to a counsellor for a long time but in the end, it helped me more than I could have ever believed. I was also very against taking any form of antidepressants.. but as my symptoms got to an all-time low I bit the bullet and decided to take them.. they are definitely not perfect but they have helped me so much when I was at my worst. I'm not saying you should take them, as they're not for everyone, but just that they may not be as bad as you think.
Also, I find keeping a gratitude journal each morning very helpful!
Your trip from Thailand to Spain sounds absolutely incredible!! Travel definitely opens your eyes to the humanity in the world.. and makes you feel so small (in the best way possible) 😊
Thank you for showing the world how beautiful our country the philippines is!😊...you guys are amazing!😍...
Thanks you, it is not hard to show off the beauty :)
All BEANS-UP for you guys!! making me miss the PH much-a-lot! lived there for 3 years tops but had to relocate - hope to catch you-globe-trotters on my path soon! Keep up the enticing vids and make the most of your tripz!
Yup i am happy with you. Continue exploring, you are not ordinary explorer but environmentalist. You both have the heart to protect nature.
why did i not find your channel sooner!! love love love it!!
Emma you're so pretty! great job u guys!! and Alex you're not so bad yourself🤣
"Gratitude is paramount to anything. Be happy!" ❤❤❤
So true!
Littlewoim YES... YES...YES! Gratitude for life & all its bounty. 🌴🌺🐶🐰🦎🐌🍉🥥🥑🍮🍷🍹🍷🍹🍷🍹🍷🍹🍷🍹🍷😊
Emma is pretty and I like her laughter. I love your videos even if they were 4 yrs ago.
Well Hello from Las Vegas! I'm originally from the Philippines and I am getting depressed watching your videos. So freakin' homesick. I was just there last June and this past March. I really just want to pack up everything and go home. Anyways I do enjoys your videos. Keep it up you two. My wife's name is also Emma and she grew up in England as well.
I love all your vlogs! I’m definitely a fan now! Alex and Emma, you guys are such a beautiful couple!
Thank you so much! So glad you are enjoying the videos!! :)
Good luck with the coming off antidepressants thing. Just don't stress too much with work. I also have depressive spells which can last for months, usually triggered by worrying too much about everything. How I come off to other people, financial situation, work, even just minor fights with friends and family. Doing something productive alleviates it somewhat (my personality is artistic, I feel happy seeing something I made). Just relax and take it slow. Also pulling back a bit and seeing the big picture helps me, putting things in context and realizing how small the problems are. Of course, depression is a complex thing, so it varies per person.
Angry Kittens 😁😂
Emma has recently started painting and I think it is really helping. Thanks for your comment, I hope the spells are few and far between.
woow how i wish i cud fly my own drone.then create ..videos with gud bckgrnd music ..i really enjoy watching from above....sometimes youll nver know d beauty unless u can see it from a far above..
The beach have this calming effect on me every time I feel so depressed or just burned out from day to day life. I love to bury my feet on the sand and let the waves wash it off. The sound of the waves is very relaxing and as well as the sea breeze. There is so much more to explore in the Philippines and hope you guys enjoy every day you spent in this beautiful country.
Yes I think nature and appreciating it are keys to happiness. Thanks for watching.
Hope you also get to visit isla gigantes in northern Iloilo as well as Province of Antique especially Mararison island.
I think you Emma can easily be a movie star in the Philippines. I would say getting a lot of
vitamin c can help your depression, as well as exercise and good diet. Good thoughts too like thinking of helping others instead of focusing on yourself. Thanks for sharing your travels in the Philippines.
Just watched your video now.. And i can't help but comment about what happiness is for me. Besides of realizing and being able to appreciate nature.. I guess happiness for me is making other people happy. Seeing others happy because of what i did/didn't do is sooo ... 💓 (btw siargao is awesome, you should also try batanes😉) hope this get to you!
You guys are awesome! 😃😃Do you need permission to fly a drone there?
Makes me happy too that Philippines is your alternative meds for depression. Keep smiling guys, stay happy and lovely 😊
Thanks for the great vids! You guys are actually helping me with my own depression as well. So thanks again for sharing your happy times!
What makes me happy is sharing what I know about my country to folks like you. Please tell me how long you'll be there, so I can recommend places to go. Cheers.
You're Philippines vlog make me happy coz i miss my motherland.Bcoz i like u guys i don't skip the ads.My way of thanking you both for loving my country. 🙏😊

Thank you guys for sharing your videos! Love It ! Be careful always when you go the woods,, always ask permission to the unknown spirits before you enter the area,, Thank you again,,
Hey guys, another awesome vlog! The views are absolutely fantastic! Emma...I didn't know...but just keep doing what ever makes you guys the happiest. You guys deserve it! God knows you two have, and continue to bring so much happiness to not only your subscribers, but whoever watches your vlogs. Alex, it's true Emma will always get the attention. Her presence just make the islands even more beautiful than they already are. But you are the one that makes her happy. You are the key to getting her off her depression. Keep up the great work guys! Take care and be safe! Will continue to show my support by not skipping the ads on your channel.

Ok...Now...I've been watching and re-watching (maybe 3-4 times actually) all ur Philippine Vlogs and am still enjoying every moment. Missing my Motherland. Anyway, I just wanted to tell Alex that I admire ur set of teeth.....Are they for real!!!??? so white and properly lined-up (if that's how you can say it). But, let's be honest, Emma is so charming.
YOU ARE BOTH LOVELY AND ADORABLE, EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN UPS AND DOWN ITS NORMAL, LIKE I SAID BEFORE LIFE IS LIKE A ROAD NEVER STRAIGHT, ITS SMOOTH AND SOMETIME ROUGH, BUT REMEMBER YOU ARE THE DRIVER ,YOU CAN ALWAYS CHANGE THE ROAD WHERE YOU ARE GOING , AND JUST ALLOW TIME , TIME IS A GREAT HEALER PLUS TRAVELLING , WALA! YOUR HEALED. TAKE CARE. BOBBY FROM VEGAS.
you are too beautiful to be depress ... love your videos guys , keep it up... MABUHAY KAYO !!! God bless always .
what makes me happy is watching your videos :)
Hi there, also suffered from depression many years ago and also took some "happy pills" for some time. Now, I am "meds free" and doing just fine. So it is possible Emma. Be always happy guys.
Thank you so much for your encouragement! It's so nice to hear stories from people who have been through it and made it to the other side smiling! 🙌
Philippines is a happy place. Smile at the people , they'll smile back at you and make you feel at home. Beware of their hospitality , it's their best trait.
The mountains will make you happy. Just try it and see for yourselves. We have alot of mountains ⛰ here in the Philippines. 🇵🇭
I was hoping to see some surfing videos from both of you. I’ve heard Siargao is a surfer’s paradise. Anyhow, you both never disappoint me. I’ve enjoyed watching all your videos. It’s funny, it’s hilarious, it’s just being real. In addition to, your videos are always so uplifting. So keep it going!!! By the way...Eat more balut Alex haha, I’ve only manage to eat the yellow part. I will probably throw up like you almost did. Peace out! Travel Beans..
Thank you you for coming to our country. Have a great stay and God bless you both!
