⭐ 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!

Actually, the Cliff Dwellings USED to be a REALLY neat place to visit back in the day. When I was a little girl my grandparents would take me there (mid-1980s) and it was NOT what it is like today. Back then you didn't have to pay to go see them, they hadn't been ruined by someone else's ideal of what they thought they should look like, and they didn't have the other touristy crud there. I was livid when I took my own kids there once thinking they would get the same experience that I did, and saw THAT.🤬🤬🤬🤬 There was nothing on the front, it was open and you could see the various rooms and use your imagination as to what they were used for.
noone wants your newsletter you two are slacking.we have a baby oh no we cant do anything now!do you realize by now both parents would be at work for 8 hours and a 4 hour comute
@@livingonthedelta7068 seriously? You feel better attacking people?
what are you doing here? Pick another you tube@@livingonthedelta7068
I'm in ❤❤
A guy covered in tattoos saying “I’ve done way dumber stuff than this” and then telling Emma to go ahead and puke is the best part of this video.
I agree. I wanna see a video now abou that guys story 😆
They couldn't have asked for a better partner for her for the video drama. He seemed so opposite of Emma's nature.
hahaha
Classic
I agree! That was fabulous!
Your baby is the perfect testament to his parents' demeanor, chill, kind, observant, peaceful. Good on you, Noah!
How can you tell if a BABY is kind 😂😂😂
Now, you guys - including Noah - can LEGALLY use the term "This ain't my 1st rodeo!"!!! And, Emma, that line on exiting the fake museum, "Well, THAT was shit!" was absolutely PRICELESS!!! I CAN'T believe you actually jumped into a CANYON... are you MAD?!?! Your "buddy", though, was hysterical!! I loved him!
And, I can't say goodbye for awhile without commenting on just how ADORABLE Master Noah is, and what fun it's been to watch him in your arms watching EVERYTHING around him!! Please don't be gone too long!! I NEED my Beans fix!! Even in Portugal!! ENJOY!!!
It isn't illegal to say the phrase but i do understand the joke.
Emma’s canyon jump partner made my day! ❤
The advantage of the recreated ruins means it's a learning experience which leaves the real ones safe from damage.
Emma the guy sitting next to you on the canyon drop was 'hilarious' what a guy. Loved the rodeo, interesting to see how cowboys did their stuff, all competition really. Emma you coming out of that museum and telling everyone that is was crap was so funny too. Have a safe trip home.
I love how Noah is taking it all in. 😊 He looks so alert.
As an American I also find rodeos disturbing. They do seem cruel to the cattle. As an Iowa farm who raises cattle I'd never do that to our calves. Safe travel across the pond.
Yea, it's kinda like bullfighting but on a lesser scale. Unnecessary cruelty to the animals. If you want to show off your lassoing skills, do it on a fake steer or something.
If you think that is bad, I won't tell you what they do to the cows down the line a bit.
Wait till you see what they do to cows so you can eat a burger……
Honestly, they aren’t hurting the cattle at all. Education helps you enjoy the rodeo
@@nanachick05 No, being lassoed round the neck and having the rope pulled tight, nah that wouldn't hurt at all. Maybe you should get someone to do it to you, see how you like it. Also terrorising them by chasing them on horses, that's fine isn't it.?🙄
I hope you enjoyed my home country of the United States. There is no other quite like it. We can now leave you with an American term used whenever you have to do something that you have done before, and that is "This ain't my first rodeo". Happy travels, Travel Beans!
To our friends from the UK, thank you for visiting Colorado!
When my brother, sister-in-law and their son joined me on a holiday in the US in the mid 90's and we went to Bryce Canyon and they had a small rodeo there we had never been to one before so we couldn’t miss this, it was just across the road from the hotel. At one point they had children Mutton Busting the sheep. Great laugh and experience.
I’m a Colorado native, born and raised. I use to live in Colorado Springs, CO. 7 falls is far better at night, with the falls all backlit with beautiful colors.
Now I’ve been in Switzerland for 15 years.
Nothing like the big Colorado blue sky!
That baby is adorable! The way he was watching his daddy!
I have problems listening to Mr. Bean while the little Bean is starring at him and the camera.......he is soooooo cute.
It’s a pleasure to have you all here! Love how Noah has been so chill throughout the Colorado adventures! See you again when you come back! ❤️🙏 take care!
Baby bean during the 7 waterfalls acted like he was complaining right along with dad.. Sooo cuteee ❤
Noah's face😄 when you were being a negative Nelly at the waterfalls😂...it's like he was mocking you...whah whah whah dad!😂 ❤it!!
5:59 Right on cue, the lightning flash filling the horizon really underscored Emma's point about the weather. Hopefully we get a future video on Al's "handsome stranger". 😅 Glad this visit to the US was relatively problem free and the next one isn't that far off. 👍
Kind of a grumpy episode (I guess you were ready to go home at that point) but much appreciation for guy on the ride who was kind of amazing in how he was trying to be supportive in his own unique way.
As a native Colorandan… your British view on the Colorado was fabulous 😂 your humor is great and I appreciate! So many amazing people and places to see (that you don’t need to pay for) in Colorado! It is a beautiful place. Thank you for the laughs!
I am now subscribing
IMO rodeo's are cruel.. also, Michigan has better waterfalls. Lol😂. Love u guys. Safe travels
I swear Noah was either talking or mimicking you guys when you around the part when Alex said it's not lost on us that we are tourists complaining about tourists (at the 7 falls park) OMG his lips are moving and making shapes like different words.... too adorable!!!!! Safe travels back and I can't wait to see what you get up to next!
I was just overwhelmed watching cutie Noah watch his Dad do his underwhelmed speech!! 😂 Love you guys ❤
That guy could not have been a better character for this!
My 12yr and 10yr kids did that ride at Cave of the Winds. I couldn’t even watch them do it. Hats off to Emma!
I love seeing all of the places you go that we as Americans would never go! Hahaaha. As a kid on road trips my mom would always have us stop at these crazy roadside attractions. Great memories! I'm very excited to watch your move to Portugal!
A barbecue induced foodgasm 🤣😂🤣😂. Go team Beans!!!
When you come back you must go to Palo Duro Canyon near Amarillo, Texas. Sign up for breakfast in the canyon and take the canyon jeeps down. It’s a bumpy ride, but fun. Also, while there you can see a play, Texas, that college students Star in. Lots of fun. ❤
after this, you can say this is not my first rodeo 😂
But now he can always say this isn’t my first rodeo to prove a point 😂
But as he said he'll never go to another one, he won't be saying that.
It was his first and last lol
Thank you for taking us with you on your travels. So pleased that you didn't have any unplanned dramas. You did so well with Noah! He is a natural traveller!
Kids adapt.
They had one drama months ago when their RV caught fire.
I just finished watching.
Nice job Emma , that was quite a morning rush for you. The guy sitting next to you was so funny and nice. Glad you had a great time here in the US. Safe travels beans ♥️🤗
That was the chillest dude. Exactly who I'd want next to me if I ever decided to do something like that.
Oh wow! Emma you're so brave! Way to go. And thank ya'll so much for sharing the visit to the Manitou Cliff Dwellings. I've been to Cave of the Winds and Seven Falls, and the train to Pike's Peak a couple times, but I was always curious about the Cliff Dwellings; now I know not to bother. I recommend visiting Mesa Verde, which is a few hours West, but definitely worth the drive if you want to see authentic Cliff Dwellings. Maybe you can see it next visit. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us Beans.
Well to bad your time is running short. Glad you 3 had a wonderful time. Look forward to when you return. Best wishes on your journey home..
OMG, Emma don't ever let him plan your adventure.
The guy on the ride with Emma is hilarious! LOL
Not a fan of a rodeo 😕... I feel so bad for the animals! Great video.....can't wait to see what you guys do next!
Sorry to see you go but looking forward to your next adventure with cutie Noah.
I think the underwhelming experiences are because you have traveled the world seeing absolutely spectacular sites. Anything less is underwhelming.
I still can't get my head around the fact that Emma spent her first 12 years in the states. She seems so British!
That rodeo was horrid. I felt so sorry for them. How is it even still allowed!
It is now outlawed in many countries. Horrific.
Then you don't want to know what the ( men ) do to shaved Orangutans strapped to chairs in Africa.😲
It was disgusting to watch! I actually think it shouldn't have even been included in the video
@@flynnstone3580 not being disgust and I'm sure you are just full of it.
Seven Falls is beautiful around the Christmas holidays. They put up a beautiful light display that illuminates the falls and you can do night hikes!!
I think you should have an adventure in Canada - we've got awesome sites to see, especially the mountains in British Columbia.
Went to a local rodeo in Wall, SD. It was an absolute blast and great family event. Families and children "competed" in all kinds of event (mutton busting). Toddlers even were involved. A fun slice of Anericana. Much more enjoyable than professional rodeoing.
I completely understand about Seven Falls and you're correct about it being private land. The original owners of the lands also own one of our more historical hotels, The Broadmoor. Also, they're historically relevant to the settlement of Mantiou Springs and Colorado Springs.. Just a FYI.
Glad You fell in love with Colorado Springs, Colorado and the surrounding areas, Manitou Springs, Cave of the Winds, the Cliff Dwellings, Seven Falls and Garden of the Gods.
Another great video. Love your honesty on places, that museum did look shit 🤣🤣. And the rodeo was horrible, so pleased you guys thought the same. 👍🏼👍🏼
Started watching after seeing you with @TheNewbys Wednesday. Watched a few of your recent Portugal videos and then had to see your Colorado trip. I’m a Colorado native and haven’t been to many of the places you visited. I live about 20 minutes from Red Rocks in Littleton. I was born in Pueblo. I’ve lived here most of my 73 years, except for a year in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and 3 years in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Colorado weather changes in an instant sometimes. You have to be prepared for anything especially in the mountains. Emma, I am so impressed that you drove The Million Dollar Highway. I lived in the mountains for years and still hate roads that drop off like that. Alex your wilderness experience wasn’t a failure by any means of the imagination. You’re a smart man not going it alone. Think grizzly bears every time you question yourself. Seeing the dead bear was a sign of your own bravery and ability to survive. He didn’t. I’m a fan now and will be binging your channel to watch the past episodes. I envy your move to Portugal. Wish I was younger and healthier, I’d move there too. Hugs to baby Noah.❤
I laughed so hard my cat ran away on the part Emma was on the ride! That guy was hilarious! 😂❤
Sad to see you go. I really like that you acknowledge indigenous Pueblo peoples historical replica of dwellings. I notice other TH-camrs don't even acknowledge the existence of the rich indigenous culture history. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us.
From Nebraska our summer vacation were often Colorado. I remember 7 falls from 40 years ago. Owned by old guy who had indians dance and very basic hike to see falls with lights. Different experience today . Can not believe there is even a restaurant at bottom of falls. If you can afford the food. So loved all your videos of Colorado.
Tnx for showing us the beautiful and the bad/fake of the USA😉
Little Noah's admiration for his Dad is priceless. I can't wait to see you back in 🇧🇫 Homesteadding😊
Greetings from 🇿🇦
In Rochester, NY we have a version of “The Slopper” called the Garbage Plate. It is famous in this area. It is home fries, French fries, macaroni salad, baked beans and the meats of your choice. You can choose from hot dog, burger, cheeseburger or Italian Sausage. It is topped off with Nick Tahou’s meat sauce.
Makes my heart sing to know you that you love our beautiful state! You weren't too far from me in Manitou. ✌️
It is so exciting that you are moving to Portugal and I admire your USA Adventures ❤
Looking forward to your further adventures. Thank you for sharing your journey through life. Your child is adorable 😉
If all you saw was calf roping you really didn't see a rodeo. Colorado used to be really nice before all the people from back East and the West Coast moved here not so much anymore!!
I was so impressed that Alex pronounced Pueblo correctly 👏👏👏. Im sorry he tried the Slopper. I think would've enjoyed the Colorado State Fair Rodeo and the concerts with big name stars. I could've gotten you in for FREE!
I'm an American that does not like rodeos because they seem cruel. To be fair, I didn't grow up in the cowboy culture, as I am from a university town in Michigan. I'm glad that you enjoyed your time in Colorado. I enjoyed your videos.
Loved this one! I know you weren't too keen on the Rodeo, but had you stuck around, you could have seen the bull riding, which is the most exciting part of the rodeo. That would have been some amazing content for you to share! There are a lot of amazing things to do in this massive country of ours and so glad you guys have been able to get out and experience it. Seeing the real America, away from the big cities is the most rewarding part of visiting this country!
Rodeos are cruel.
@@BlissfulDee yeah, so is late-term abortion. Which is more cruel?
I agree, bull riding is awesome, as is the barrel racing .
no, bull riding is also horrible and unnecessary
This ain't my first.... oh, wait. Yes, it is. LOL I'm glad you had a nice time. My son lives in Colorado and loves it. It was lovely to see Noah growing into a big boy! The looks on his face at Seven Falls were priceless. Safe travels, Beans.
Yeah when I heard "our first rodeo" I was shocked they didn't make the joke more explicitly lol
I'd suggest trying a rodeo again, as there's much more than the team roping event. It is a competition, whether little kids riding sheep, barrel racing, roping or bronco or bull riding. Keep in mind that roping was needed to secure calves and keep them safe. They aren't strangled, and while it may not be fun for them, they aren't harmed and are promptly released. The horses are also trained to assist.
I have absolutely loved this series and knowing it went so well for you guys and has spurred you on to go back and do more states is lovely. As always, good luck for the next adventure!!
OMG! Congrats on 300,000 subs! Favorite channel ever!!! Can't wait to see what is next! And we get a newsletter! My day has been made!
Thanks for sharing your adventures Beans! Best of luck on your new adventures with Noah!
Emma, as a Colorado native American I’m interested in foreigner opinions of American tourist exhibits, with your opinion on the ghost town museum please give us your honest opinion don’t sugar coat it
fun to watch guys can't wait to see what your up to next
I know why your channel is so successful it's just your sence of humour "when Sally met harry" hahhha self explanatory say no more I love you both with your laughter even in difficult times good live and lots of love to the 3 of you.
Just wanted to say that I love your videos guys! Always so uplifting when I'm in a shitty mood 💞
You guys have just got the touring down to a tee! Videos were excellent and excited to see further trips 🙌
"Go ahead!" "I've been puked on before!" 🤣
Great video!! Loved Emma’s free fall and her partner. So funny! Moral is getting big already, so cute! Have a safe trip home!!
Yaaay Beans! Looks like you’ve had a ball this trip!
Like you, we love America and are heading back this October for the first time since COVID!
A week of fun in the sun in Florida, just what the doc ordered as I’ve been working waaay to hard and need some R&R!
Look forward to your next adventure, thanks for taking us with you!👍😊👏👏👏❤️🏴🇺🇸
Really glad you like Colorado …. ( Let’s try to keep that a little secret, a year or so ago 10,000 people per month were moving here ). Rudy’s is very different. The lines especially on week ends can be well over an hour or more to even order your food. Have a safe trip home, and a big thanks for visiting the Colonies, our best to the King.
I rewinded to watch Em so many times! I ain't doing that for sure!😂😂❤❤❤ I enjoy watching you guys
If your travels ever take you to Oregon, I think you would absolutely LOVE The Columbia River gorge outside of Portland. There is an old scenic highway , built in the era of Model A Ford's (1930's) where there are numerous waterfalls, the most famous, also accessable by freeway being Multnomah Falls. The others along the old highway are much more secluded, where you can hike through lush forests.. so breathtakinly beautifull peaceful, and serene.. the waterfalls .. spectacular. .. Sometimes you may encounter other hikers, but most of the time you'll be the only ones
Great to see you all again, I'd dipped out for personal reasons and glad to be back! You guys look awesome too!
Emma rocks!!!😁😁
Oh, I just love the three of you! I have been giggling along this whole episode that you released today. And that Noah, what an angel. You’re gonna have to come back for longer to the US next time! So much to see and do and we love having you here in the states!
Great adventures! Love seeing your little travel bean! He was really watching his daddy when he was talking! ❤️
Safe travels!!
Love your travels 😊
Safe travels home. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Awesome video and thank you beans for taking us along with you looking forward to the next adventure 🌄
‘eyyyyyy! Seeing the Cliff Dwellings thru another’s eyes is cool. I actually went on a date there a few months ago! And Rudy’s is so close to me. Crazy to hear that the Beans were so nearby. 😂 Glad to know y’all had a good time in my current home state. ❤❤❤ Colorado will welcome you back with open arms!
So nice to see you guys enjoying yourself.
Enjoyed your U.S. adventures, Beans! Come back soon!
Beans we love you! Congratulations! Big hugs
Thanks beans! Enjoyed the ride.
Noah is so cute. He's just quietly looking around and taking it all in. Such amazing experiences he's having as he's growing that most kids will never have!!
yaaaay!!!! emma! waaaay to fly across a canyon!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 happy to hear you had a great time in our usa. enjoy being home. continued travel mercies and blessings.🕊
I've been looking forward to an upload from you two! Finally!❤
