Woken by Angry Locals - Why Scotland HATES Campervans

Vanlife in Scotland is as good as it gets but the locals don't think so. Scotland is the only country we have had issues with angry locals and in this video we discuss why that is and if it's justified.

⭐ 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!

Isle of Man | Leben auf den Inseln der Queen, Folge 2/9

Mitten in der Irischen See zwischen England und Irland liegt die Isle of Man. Sie ist Kronbesitz der Queen, aber ein Land mit eigener Sprache und Regierung.

Die UNESCO hat die Insel als erstes Land der Welt zur Biosphärenregion erklärt. Ihre Abgeschiedenheit bietet vielen Tieren einen geschützten Lebensraum: Für Zugvögel ist sie ein wichtiger Rastplatz, eine einzigartige Schafrasse lebt nur hier, die Fischerei vor der Küste ist nachhaltig. Die Menschen achten und schätzen ihre Insel, sie pflegen ihre Eigenarten und eine Kultur, die bis in die Zeit der einst hier siedelnden Wikinger zurückreicht. Es ist ein ungewöhnlicher Ort, der in Europa liegt und doch weit entfernt wirkt. Auf der Isle of Man haben Berufe und Traditionen überlebt, die anderswo längst ausgestorben sind: Die älteste Pferdetrambahn der Welt fährt durch die Hauptstadt, eine Dampfeisenbahn verbindet seit 150 Jahren die Städte der Insel. Auch das Parlament ist das älteste der Welt, es wird am Nationalfeiertag mit Rosshaarperücken und Blasmusik gefeiert. Zugleich ist die Insel ein Ort, der jungen Leuten Raum bietet, Neues zu entwickeln. Der Film stellt Menschen vor, die die Isle of Man nie verlassen haben oder zurückgekehrt sind, weil das Inselleben ihnen Zufriedenheit schenkt und ein Leben in Einklang mit der Natur ermöglicht. Hier ticken die Uhren anders, die Bewohner haben in ihrer ursprünglichen Sprache Manx einen Ausdruck dafür: „Traa-dy-Liooar“, time enough: Es gibt Zeit genug. Die Isle of Man ist ein Ort, der Tradition und Wandel vereint und sich genau deshalb treu bleibt.

A Year on the Isle of Man

A Year on the Isle of Man

Drone footage over a year using DJI Phantom 4 Pro across the entire Island.

This video is about the Isle of Man by Drone in 2018 covering multiple locations and is a compilation of all my 2018 Drone Footage from places including Niarbyl, Douglas, Ramsey, Port Erin, Groudle, Port Soderick and derelict buildings around the island.

The Isle of Man (Manx: Mannin [ˈmanɪnʲ], also Manx: Ellan Vannin [ˈɛlʲan ˈvanɪnʲ]), sometimes referred to simply as Mann /mæn/, is a self-governing British Crown dependency in the Irish Sea between Great Britain and Ireland. The head of state, Queen Elizabeth II, holds the title of Lord of Mann and is represented by a lieutenant governor. Defence is the responsibility of the United Kingdom.

Humans have lived on the island since before 6500 BC. Gaelic cultural influence began in the 5th century AD, and the Manx language, a branch of the Gaelic languages, emerged. In 627 Edwin of Northumbria conquered the Isle of Man along with most of Mercia. In the 9th century, Norsemen established the Kingdom of the Isles, which included the Isle of Man. Magnus III, King of Norway from 1093 to 1103, reigned also as King of Mann and the Isles between 1099 and 1103.

In 1266 the island became part of Scotland under the Treaty of Perth, after being ruled by Norway. After a period of alternating rule by the kings of Scotland and England, the island came under the feudal lordship of the English Crown in 1399. The lordship revested into the British Crown in 1765, but the island never became part of the 18th century kingdom of Great Britain or its successors (the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the present-day United Kingdom). It retained its internal self-government.

In 1881 the Isle of Man parliament, Tynwald, became the first national legislative body in the world to give women the right to vote in a general election, although this excluded married women. In 2016 UNESCO awarded the Isle of Man biosphere reserve status.

Insurance and online gambling each generate 17% of GNP, followed by information and communications technology and banking with 9% each. Internationally, the Isle of Man is known for the Isle of Man TT motorcycle races.

The Isle of Man is located in the middle of the northern Irish Sea, almost equidistant from England to the east, Northern Ireland to the west, and Scotland (closest) to the north; while Wales to the south is almost the distance of the Republic of Ireland to the southwest. It is 52 kilometres (32 mi) long and, at its widest point, 22 kilometres (14 mi) wide. It has an area of around 572 square kilometres (221 sq mi).Besides the island of Mann itself, the political unit of the Isle of Man includes some nearby small islands: the seasonally inhabited Calf of Man, Chicken Rock on which stands an unmanned lighthouse, St Patrick's Isle and St Michael's Isle. The last two of these are connected to the main island by permanent roads/causeways.

Ranges of hills in the north and south are separated by a central valley. The northern plain, by contrast, is relatively flat, consisting mainly of deposits from glacial advances from western Scotland during colder times. There are more recently deposited shingle beaches at the northernmost point, the Point of Ayre. The island has one mountain higher than 600 metres (2,000 ft), Snaefell, with a height of 620 metres (2,034 ft).According to an old saying, from the summit one can see six kingdoms: those of Mann, Scotland, England, Ireland, Wales, and Heaven.Some versions add a seventh kingdom, that of the sea, or Neptune.

Visit the Isle of Man - and discover 10 Surprising Facts?

This short introduction to the Isle of Man offers ten curious facts about the island and its people.. Set in the Irish Sea, this island of mists, and myths, lore and legends, Ellen Vannin offers history and an overlooked holiday resort. Who would have expected to gind wallabies in the Irish Sea?
This video hardly mentions tailless cats or TT motorbike races but concentrates more on the natural beauty of the island and its customs, some of which have lasted over 1000 years.
How many people have heard of Loughtan sheep or a Trislelion. The whole island is a denoted UNESCO Biosphere reflecting the unique landscape and conservation work that protects so many precious characteristics of the island.
Future videos will explore detailed parts of the island including the capital, Douglas, Casttletown, Port St. Mary, Port Erin, Peel and Niarbyl where continental plates meet in a tiny bay.
