First Night Sleeping In Our Campervan | USA Vanlife Begins!
We are Alex and Emma - a British couple with a dream of exploring more of the United States from our campervan! We love road trips and recently bought our very own USA holiday home on wheels, which we plan to use for a Great American Road Trip EVERY YEAR. We have been dreaming of owning our very own campervan in the USA for such a long time and we are so happy to finally have one!
In this USA vanlife travel vlog, we finally get to spend our first night in our new campervan.. and our first stops are Grand Haven & Hoffmaster State Park, in the beautiful state of Michigan!

⭐ About Travel Beans:
Welcome to the official Travel Beans KZfaq channel! On this channel, you’ll find a variety of travel and vlog content, in which you’ll see us in places like Thailand, Japan, USA, Slovenia, and more.
In 2017 we left home with just £500 in our bank account and a dream to make a sustainable travel lifestyle happen! We are now living our dream as digital nomads and want to inspire you to create your own story, whatever it may be!
After 5 years of aimless, yet enjoyable, backpacking around the world we found ourselves in New York City battling with depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head-on. 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.
Our time spent battling depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. In our vlogs, we talk openly and honestly about our travel experiences, the digital nomad life and depression. We hope our videos can help to inspire you to create a life that makes you happy!

Table tip: check thrift stores (or Walmart/Target/Big Lots etc) for what we call "tv trays" - they're just small folding tables meant for eating dinner while watching TV in the living room. We have two in our van instead of any sort of formal fitted table, and they're endlessly useful for all kinds of things, including outside on the campsite. We're so excited to watch your adventure unfold!

Well done, you all deserve the very best! BTW - I also grinned from ear to ear that Alex is finally starting to appreciate a few American food/cultural experiences.

Love your enthusiastic embracing your new adventures of exploring America! I really do thoroughly empathize with you because I feel just the same when I’m visiting England! It is always and every time an amazing experience when you set out to explore another country that you’ve read about a dreamed about traveling to, and then when you get there it exceeds all expectations! I enthusiastically suggest you visit the Pacific Northwest in Washington State, especially since you both love wildlife and the outdoors so much. I believe you will truly be enraptured with the wonderful wild beauties of the Cascade Mountains, the Olympic Mountains, Puget Sound, the beaches along the Pacific Coast, Olympic Peninsula and Rainforest, and the many spectacular views and trails and campgrounds of all of these places. You will fall in love with Washington, just as I fell in love with the Lake District and the Cotswolds and Wales and the British people. 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧.

As a Michigander, I do wish to caution you: the great lakes are mighty and beautiful and not at all like regular lakes. They can have dangerously strong currents and riptides so please enjoy with caution and pay attention to any water warnings as you enjoy all the beautiful sites here. 💜

We also live on the Gulf coast of Mississippi and are Boondocker Welcome hosts, so you are welcome here anytime. We have a nice lake across the street from our home and have 2 kayaks and a paddle board you are welcome to use. As far as things you should get for your new to you camper van, you should get a surge protector. Before plugging into the power pedestal make sure the breaker is off, plug the surge protector in then turn on the breaker. Let it perform it’s test on the pedestal. If everything checks ok , turn the breaker back off then plug your cord into the surge protector then turn the breaker back on. You are now safe to use the power. It will protect your rig from many issues that could damage your electronic in your rig. They are not cheap, but neither is have to repair your rigs electrical system. You should also get a water pressure regulator (the one with the gauge is better) to protect your water lines from over pressure damaging your water lines. Also an in-line water filter for when you hook up to campground water faucets. You should look into joining Harvest Host/Boondockers Welcome so you have other choices of places to stay for free or very cheaply. Good luck and safe travels with Phoenix. We are Rambling Rovers Base on Boondockers Welcome

Since being retired for just over a year, we have done more traveling abroad in search of our roots and haven't given the US much thought for travel. We just recently purchased a 30 foot travel trailer so we can start exploring in our own back yard. Living in the Pacific NW we are surrounded by many many areas to camp and explore, but are looking forward to expanding our adventures. Maybe we'll run into each other during our travels. Looking forward to next weeks episode. Safe and Happy travels.

Certain cities and towns are known for their large population of white squirrels, including Brevard, North Carolina; Marionville, Missouri; Olney, Illinois; Kenton, Tennessee; and Exeter, Ontario. I'd never seen them myself until I went to Marionville, MO.

You are pleasant to watch. You two set an example on how not to give up on your dreams. I will be following your journey because my plan is to do the same thing in 5 years. Continue the excitement, it's inspiring. Mike from upstate New York

So happy you have a new vacation home in the US! I grew up on Lake Michigan and it will always be my favorite! If PA ends up on your list- I love camping in the Allegheny National Forest (lots of campgrounds, but Dewdrop is my favorite- right on a beautiful reservoir and easy access to hiking trails). Warren nearby has a couple of fun breweries.

I'm so glad you're loving Michigan! It's my forever home! After the UP, you can make your way into Wisconsin. Door County (the part that sticks out into the lake) is beautiful. Milwaukee and Madison are fun cities and the Wisconsin Dells are spectacular. Stay safe!

Glad things are going well with you guys. I love the comment about being an animal lover and being excited about seeing a squirrel the last time the wife and I went camping I spotted a jet black squirrel and spent 2 days trying to get a picture of him for my adult kids. Good luck on the visa, does that mean dual citizenship?

Well Beans Congrats3 on your Firsts of many First, traveling the Great Lakes route! Can't be in Michigan without having "blueberries!" Maybe blueberries 🫐 pancakes with those bacon 🥓 breakfasts cookouts!! Yes, Alex there are black squirrels, gray, red (even flying red) and rare albino white squirrel. Where I grew up in Wisconsin, not only the fall maple leaf colors so abundance, but we had an Albino white climbing up the trees, and seeing it clearly storing its winter plenty (nuts) in its nests! Enjoying your adventures vlogs!!👍💛🌻💚🌿🌲🚶‍♂️🐿🐇🦅🦋🍁🧡

True white squirrels aren't albinos. Their eyes and nose are the normal squirrel colours instead of red and pink.

I would love to see you come to Wisconsin and Minnesota while you're in the Midwest, it is really beautiful here in the fall so these next few months are perfect timing! I look forward to seeing your adventures wherever you go!
