This vanlife vlog we visit Scotland and are making our way to the NC500. On the way, we got distracted by the Cairngorms and stayed longer than intended after driving the Snow Roads Scenic Drive. We were left asking ourselves, is the Cairngorms better than the NC500 because it will be hard to top. We are loving this epic Scotland road trip and the Scottish Highlands have delivered so far.
In this travel video, we visit the Reindeer Center, Uath Lochan, Loch Morlich and Loch Garten.

⭐ 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!

THE SWC300 - SCOTLANDS SECRET NC500 ALTERNATIVE - (Van Life Scotland)
SCOTLANDS SECRET ALTERNATIVE TO NC500 - (so good we almost didn't tell you!) Van Life UK.
If you have ever considered Van Life in Scotland then you will almost certainly have heard of the NC500. It's a beautiful route that runs around Scotlands north coast, however, if you've heard of it then so has everyone else!
Every year it gets packed with vans and motorhomes to the point where the remote route simply can't cope. The locals are getting understandably frustrated, park ups are overflowing, single track roads get grid locked and there simply aren't the services to always handle it.
BUT, what if there was an alternative route? Over the last 3 weeks we have been exploring the lesser known South west coast and it's SWC300 route. This coastal route and its inland forests and lochs is a real secret gem up here in Scotland (and it's not the only undiscovered part either).
In fact, it's so pretty and welcoming to vans and campers that we almost probably shouldn't share it with you. The scenery is amazing and wild camping is more than tolerated and its a real unexplored part of the beautiful Scottish wilderness.
Perhaps, if everyone spread out a little in Scotland and didn't always follow the crowd, maybe, van life in Scotland might just stay accessable?
In this video we share our thoughts of this Scottish tourist route, when to visit and when not to visit and what you can expect from this area.
Let us know what you've thought of our most recent van adventure in this lesser known part of Scotland, if you're prepared to get off the beaten track and not follow the path well taken, or perhaps you've been here already and can offer some insight for others thinking of doing the same.

⭐ 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!

VANLIFE - Scotland NC500 Pt1 - Is this the best road trip in the world?
Hi and welcome back to our channel. This is the 1st instalment of our NC500 road trip videos where I (Andy) took Bleu, our little French Bulldog, off for a few weeks to explore Scotland in our converted Sprinter Campervan whilst Lyndsey was working in Egypt.
Breaking up the long distance travel to Scotland to start our trip, we stopped off for a night of wild camping at Castleton in the Peak District before continuing up into the Highlands.
This is not so much a suggestion of the do's, don'ts and the must see's of the NC500 (because this is one epic road trip that you should do your own way) but more of a we're gonna go anyway, so come and have a fun look with us.
This place is un-real...Is this possibly the best road trip in the world?

ABOUT Travel with Gary and Amika
Welcome to the Official Travel with Gary and Amika YouTube Channel, a father daughter combo capturing campervan style travel vlogs in and around the mountains, beaches, campsites and wild camping fully off grid.
Gary is dedicated to his daughters future and enjoys documenting her passion for life, which is apparent through Amikas constant giggling and smiles. He is well travelled having visited some 39 countries, however this quickly became difficult to continue when Amika was born. With his love for travel he wasn't going to let being a single father tie him down. When Amika was just 5 they jumped on a plane and backpacked around Romania and have since visited France and Spain twice exploring the Pyrenees mountain range.
In January 2022 Gary bought on old builders van and converted into a fully off grid tiny home on wheels with the aim of getting out and about as much as possible to see more of the world. YouTube seemed the perfect way to documented these travels and to take a step into the world of becoming a digital nomad.
Gary and Amika both thank you for being here and hope that through their videos they can bring you a sense of adventure, a lots of laughter and with a clear message that you should never grow up and never take life too seriously!

Most Dangerous Road (Applecross) & Highland Villages | NC500 Vanlife
This Scotland vanlife vlog is the last on our nc500 series with great food, highland villages, and incredible scenic roads. We started the day in Ullapool and think it's worth visiting, just for the Seafood Shack and its close proximity to the Corrieshalloch Gorge. We then go on one of the UK's most dangerous roads on the way to Applecross, the Bealach na Ba. We also visit the best Highland villages with Plockton, Torridon & Shieldaig our personal favorites.
The North Coast 500 has been our favorite road trip to date and a perfect test for van life. Luckily it is not the end of the Scotland series as next week we head to the Isle of Skye.

We cover pretty much everything along the way as we completed the anti-clockwise route of the NC500 in May 2021! We also bolted on a couple of days in Skye & Glencoe which were also amazing! The NC500 part of the trip took us around 9 days, it could be done in 7 days but we probably wouldn't recommend any less than that, there's a whole lot to see and you don't want to rush!

Van Tours + Wild Camping | Vanlife
In this UK Vanlife video we meet up with fellow YouTubers @kingingit & @JitsIntoTheSunsetto learn the ropes. We go wild camping in our van for the first time and get inspiration for the diy camper build after getting van tours of the two different sized vans.
We met up in the Brecon Beacons in Wales which is a great spot for camping with insane views at every turn whilst also getting to explore the local canal at Beacon Park Boats
We got so much vanlife inspiration from these guys and can't wait to meet up with them again once our build is done.

Vanlife France is weird and wonderful. It hasn't been exactly what we expected but it has been great. We visit a cider farm, experience a pizza vending machine and visit one of France's must-visit tourist destinations Mont Saint-Michel.

⭐ 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!

Jits is a 1999 Peugeot Boxer Autosleeper 'Symphony'. Jits belonged to Adam's mum, Sally, who sadly passed away in Jan 2019 from ovarian cancer. During this time, we were reminded how life is too short and felt inspired to take the plunge & pursue our dream of full-time van life.
