About Travel Beans
Travel Beans is run by Alex and Emma, a British couple who turned long-term travel into a lifestyle. The channel began in May 2015 and has grown to about three hundred eighty-six thousand subscribers and roughly sixty-two million total views, with over six hundred videos. They share candid vlogs about vanlife, boat living, moving abroad, buying and renovating properties in Italy, budget cruises and quirky travel adventures. Their videos are personal, often long-form vlogs that mix practical tips, raw moments and travel storytelling from Europe, the US and beyond.
If you enjoy travel that feels lived-in rather than glossy, Travel Beans is a warm, honest ride. We like how Alex and Emma blend practical vanlife and moving-abroad advice with emotional, diary-like storytelling; standout moments include viral episodes such as "Our Campervan Is Destroyed | Scariest Day Of Van Life" and their clothing-optional and nudist beach adventures. The channel moves at a steady pace, publishing about twice a month, and episodes often run long enough to feel immersive. Expect a mix of heartfelt reality, renovation projects and escapade-style travel episodes.
