After recently becoming first time parents, and our full time travel lifestyle grinding to a halt, we are starting to get restless! In this UK travel vlog, we decide to test out whether it's possible to travel full time with our 8 week old newborn baby.. by just doing it!
We leave our home in Somerset and head north towards the quintessentially English region of the Cotswolds. Here, we stay in a traditional thatched roof cottage (where we give a full house tour) and explore some of the most picturesque villages in the area.

⭐ 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!

The smaller the baby, the easier to travel. It's starts easy and gets harder with toddlers, etc. Enjoy! 😆 Seriously, that baby will be a teenager before you know it.

@denverdubois5835 Жыл бұрын

Exactly, infants are actually pretty easy to travel with. Toddlers are hard, and once they reach 4 or so and really start to need stability so they can do preschool and start making friends for life--then you pretty much need to figure something else out. I have lifelong friends I met when I was 4-6 years old and grew up with...I wouldn't trade them for anything.

@findingoureden Жыл бұрын

Then once they get a little older than toddler, it starts getting easier again. It's just a challenge when they're that age where they're newly mobile but totally uninterested in what's going on around them, unless it's stimulating... 😁

I collect old magazines, and I’ve seen that Miniature village in a copy of the National Geographic magazine from the 1930s. I was always fascinated by it, and I’m glad it still exists. If I ever get over there I’ll happily pay £4.50 to see it!

I love this! My parents took me traveling right away, and I got my first passport for international travel when I was four months old in 1979. I’ve also traveled internationally and domestically with my daughter when she was little. Babywearing was a lifesaver. People think it’s difficult to travel with kids, but I have traveled with other adults, and sometimes it feels like I’m herding cats and juggling a preschool with just a single adult travel partner, lol. Babies are the easy ones.

Oh, my! Thank you guys! summer 2022 our family got to visit the UK but we only stopped for tea at Lucy's in Stow-in-the-wold. but i did make them take a photo at the church! What i really wanted to say is that I also became a first time Mom in my thirties and getting a regular out-and-about-in-everyday-life routine with a baby was challenging and took a whole new approach then what I had known before her. but our daughter, now 16, now likes to check out the world, new places, peoples, culture, foods and that's largely because we all stepped out everyday tackled those things together. Cheers to y'all and your dear intrepid family.

Hey thanks a lot for sharing your newborns journey with us. It is a pleasure to see you on the road with him. Emma, a small comment about immunization. Best gift you can make to Noah is breastfeeding him as long as possible. With our now 8year old boy, we where avoiding salt and sugar for the first two years. Might needs a bit more time to prepare the food, but it was worth to do it. This helps to build up a good imune system. Looking forward for new videos about you three-beans 😃

Wow, this video really resonated with me! As someone who loves to travel and is considering starting a family, the idea of full-time travel with a newborn is both exciting and intimidating. It's great to see your perspective and hear about your experiences. It's clear that there are challenges involved, but it seems like you've approached it with careful planning and consideration. I appreciate your honesty about the mistakes you've made along the way, as it provides valuable insights for those of us who may be contemplating a similar lifestyle. It's important to remember that every family is different, and what works for one may not work for another. Ultimately, it's about finding a balance that suits your family's needs and prioritizing your child's well-being. Thank you for sharing your story and shedding light on this topic!

Hi A/E/N, I agree traveling with infant is so much easier. My son traveled abroad to visit grandparents/families at 3 mos. He visited a dozen countries before 1 yr.old. flight over / back slept, ate, diapers changes, Repeat. Visiting Scandinavia in deeps snows of winter (-30 +F). Took daily strolls outside, and dressed in many layers. Little planning, and several day packs set up, so you were always prepared for anything that may arise . I always mapped out a traveling route with pharmacy & health food stores just incase a cold or ear infection started up. You are such a lovely family unit!!!💜🌸🌷🌸💜 (Posted from WI/AR USA)
