The Truth Behind Full Time Travel | Documentary Trailer

The Truth Behind Full Time Travel | Documentary Trailer

After 5+ years of documenting our journey to becoming digital nomads and full-time travelers, we are finally telling our story - the good, the bad and the downright depressing.
We met as backpackers back in 2012 and in 2015 we decided to start documenting our travels... and we're so glad we did!
The current lockdown situation has given us a moment to stop and reflect on what the last 5 years have been like for us; what we have achieved, and how we have changed.. and perhaps our most proud achievement? Overcoming depression & creating a sustainable way to work online so we can continue traveling and creating videos.
This series is going to be our biggest challenge yet. Delving into the Travel Beans archives is a mammoth task in itself and we can't wait to relive the memories and share our story with you all.

⭐ About Travel Beans:
Welcome to the official Travel Beans YouTube 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!

Oh my, this had me in tears. I believe that even if we aren’t digital nomads your story is so real and relatable. Thank you

[Diana-locx]

You honesty about mental health is so touching. Depression has touched several members of my family in the past and I so appreciate your speaking of it. I am so glad you are healthier now and telling your travel journey for us. Thank You

[annedon]

So PROUD of you for being so open and honest! ! Mental health is such a huge part of who we are and you telling your story will give so many people hope and know that life is worth living. You both do amazing pieces on travel but getting this personal during this time with everything going is so uplifting. You are such a positive light for so many during these challenging times. Thank you for all you are doing and keep up the amazing work and your mental health. ❤️

From what i have just seen....your series is going to be a tear jerker full of mixed emotions...the highs and the lows. A great trailer and i'm looking forward to following the series.

[AliciaGruhlOverton]

100k is within reach and you two deserve it more than anything two honest and relatable people. I love your content !

[SeniaYam]

Thank you for being honest! I love watching your travel blogs, and I appreciate you showing also the real side of this life. Please don't stop filming your adventure!

[jonjohnson]

Can't wait for this, the only travel YouTubers I know of who are honest and tell it how it is.

[chrisdickinson]

So exciting, the reason I'm such a big fan of the channel is because it resonates with my past situation. I took travel jobs because I thought that running away from my personal problems would solve them all. I know my experience was massivly different but i certainly feel connected to your big story. I one day want to do the whole traveling thing again but not for the reasons I did it for when I was younger

[obnov]

You two are both generous and courageous by sharing important information using your gifts of kindness and transparency. Thank you!

[kierannicholas]

Looking forward to this.. Depression is, well depressing.. a lot of people out there don't understand, that it's something you can't just get over.. How irrational it can be.. or what triggers that person to lock themselves away for days/weeks or months at a time.. I am now medication free, but there are times when I feel I need to go back onto the meds to keep me going.
You are doing awesome, for being super open and honest. I look forward to seeing more of your series & the new adventures you will have in your new van.
The one thing I remember the most is.. Its ok not to be ok..
Keep it up you 2

[LiftandBloom]

This is powerful. I am also struggling with MH and I am trying so....so hard. You inspire me to keep going, to follow my dreams, to try and see the light. Everything will be ok....eventually.

We began full time travel in March of 2021 and we were not ready for how exhausting it is. Worth it on several levels but exhausting. Traveling full time doesn’t magically make all of your problems go away. They come with you. It’s easy to become depressed or lonely or isolated while traveling.

[SoxRoxBoston]

Looking forward to this series so much. I like how you are using the old footage but having the voice over be in current time. It will allow you to talk about how depression still affects you if at all. Also how Covid factors in.

[rogervirus]

This 3 minute video made me cry. "The good thing when everything is gone, you got nothing left to lose." So much positivity. I love you guys. Been following your journey since your Philippine adventures.

[Tetkowski]

That. Was. Stellar. The writing/narrative was lovely and honest and real. It makes us viewers want more. Not in a suspenseful way, but it pulls us in because it is genuine and raw. I'm in. I'm all in. We already know your talents as travel guides and cinematographers... now we get to see what fantastic storytellers you are. Brilliant idea and it appears the execution will be lovely as well. I am happy for you both.

[minnesotamiki]

Thank you for your honesty and for keeping it real.... the good and the bad. Thank you for continuing to share your journey!

[HxcJinx]

Very excited for the next videos to come out! I love you guys as a travel duo and couple. You’re very relatable and I like that you don’t talk about (strictly) how amazing things are. I can’t watch travel you tubers who never say anything bad and never feel like shit. That sounds weird, but people assume when you travel that your anxiety or depression goes away and it’s like - nah, I can be depressed on a kayak in paradise. I appreciate it!

[hederahelix]

I have only recently discovered you guys and did not know all this. So good that you are feeling better. I am looking forward to this new series. Well done on making a riveting trailer that leaves the viewer wanting more.

[rashidxhere]

I love you guys by the bottom of my heart .. you are truly inspirational and full of positivity .Respect huge ... Don't want to see her teary eyes any more .I wish

[DDIII]

Wow!!! I agree with Megan, Katie and Annemarie. What a beautiful introduction to the new series. And, as Chris says, travel is not a constant Instagram moment. I look forward to seeing more about the reality of travel and how it transitions once you emerge from any of the clouds you brought with you.
