Couples Tiny House Getaway & Planning Our Dream Life!

[@jacquelinekohn2082]

Raya you mention looking back at this in 5-10 years. Look now and see how far you’ve come. I love that you’re consciously manifesting. I’ve been watching your current videos, vlogmas 2023, and am caught up, so I’m bouncing around and watching different time periods. ❤🎄❤️

[@aliciasaidwhaaat5932]

Watching this now, so happy you all got everything you wanted.

[@amberrains1669]

The thing that just gives me the biggest smile, and what truly warms my heart, is that the two of you can SHOW how important you are to each other. You don’t even really have to try. You can see it in your faces, in your eyes. How you speak with and to one other. It shows that you all genuinely care for each other. Which is not only the basis of a true love, but the basis for a true human relationship that is essential for humanistic growth period. This is how i can tell what you’ve both said in other videos to be true. “We have had our issues but we try our best to work them out.” I’m so glad you chose to make this combined channel to not only showcase your lives together, but to showcase what effort in a relationship (romantic or otherwise) can really do for the soul. Congrats Raya and Louis! 💕

[@RayaandLouis]

Wow thank you Amber!! I’m so excited that we have this little corner of the internet to share our love and all the work we have and will continue to put in to make our relationship thrive. Thanks for being here! ❤️

[@brandykelsey1635]

Aw this was an amazing vlog. Thank you for letting us see a different side of your relationship.

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you for the support! This is a fun new journey to be on ☺️

[@amystrader9482]

I really enjoyed this vlog! Don't overthink it....what you guys are doing is perfect! Just the both of you living life and showing a little of that life to us. I found it sweet and authentic.

[@DaydreamerSunseeker]

I just found you guys, and am watching from the begining, love your whole vibe, values, and the way you look at life. Looking forward to following your journey. My kind of people. Love and Light x

[@jamiebreez1783]

K guys, I was born and raised in Santa Barbara, Ca. Lived there 33 years. Now I live in Hawaii. Been here 10 yrs. One trade-off for the lush green landscapes, & blue water is there are very few animals so if you love trees and nature I would definitely stay in California. Oregon has the long summer nights light till 10pm. I would totally have u as guest but I live with Mom and my baby. Oh yeah educational system is really bad. I stayed not by choice but to support my mom & 91 yr old grandma but I get really really homesick. Very hard change to endure, much love to u both.

[@jamiebreez1783]

Yes so there is a reason property is cheap here, I can only think of like 5 animals we have. Plus if u go on vacation from Hawaii, you can count on all your stuff being gone when u return. I'm sorry I really don't want burst bubbles but is a way better place to come to for a vacation. No lakes, no Santa Ana winds. Cali is truly paradise. Oh yeah also no night life or good restaurants in Hawaii if u guys r into conscious health, you might be some of the very few cause it's poor eating over here. Plate lunches with mostly meat & shootz I want to go home!!!! Aloha if u have any questions, ask away!

[@sydneykatejones]

I felt like this was a little getaway for me too! I love how chill and relaxing this was ❤️

[@twothirdsostrich]

There’s no need to apologize or be nervous about the vlogs! You guys are figuring it out and we’re just along for the ride 😊 I really enjoyed this vlog, the normal stuff and then the deeper conversations. I’m excited for more and how this channel will grow!

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you!! So grateful to have you here from the start ☺️

[@danielguzman2878]

I am hooked! I really enjoy watching this side of you guys. This vlog seemed so pure and genuine and it was great seeing you two show your affection for each other. My wife and I always wondered why you guys never showed affection and agreed that would be great so having you guys share these moments with us is very special. P.S. Raya don’t worry or be nervous about the vlog not being what you envisioned, realism can never be planned it comes naturally!! My wife and I cannot wait for the next vlogs.

[@RayaandLouis]

Thanks Daniel! That means a lot 💕

[@danielguzman2878]

You’re very welcome 🤗

[@aishakarolia7860]

Nice to see Louis vlog after what feels like years. You guys are goals. 💏

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you!! 💕

[@LilyFlower26]

This was incredibly relaxing to watch. There was so much mindfulness in the video, it was a perfect start. I think you are overthinking it

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you! Also love your channel name 😜

[@TheBlessedJourney]

I’m loving this channel already 🥰😍 love seeing you guys together! So excited to be on this journey with you both 🙂

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@eileenderheim3768]

Aww so sweet. Love that you are sharing and planning/dreaming goals together. You two are so genuine. ♥ and since I am catching up... Brighton seems like a lovely place. 😉

[@SincerelyKimmy]

My hubby and I stayed at the one in Georgia for three days for our 24th Anniversary last year and it was magical. We went in the summer so we were able to use the outdoor fire pit a lot to cook and make s’mores. We definitely plan to go back. Favorite part of the cabin was the window. We watched the lighting bugs at night and the stars above the mountain tops.

[@annekuria9291]

I dont belive in love but you two are giving me hope.,.. am just loving this

[@darisseruben]

Wow! Watching this in June 2021, they end up accomplishing their dream goal….headed to Costa Rica Love watching your adventures

[@versedi]

Already in UK with a camper bus ;)

[@ciara1045]

This was so lovely! Your chat about communities in nature really reminded me of a film I saw last year called leave no trace. If you guys haven’t seen it you definitely should! It’s very different from your average film but it’s really interesting and thought provoking and includes different perspectives on different communities kind of like what you mentioned

[@magnolia7322]

Love these vlogs🙂 so genuine and beautiful.

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you! 💛

[@TimothyGambleITGuy]

How does one get so involved with people they have never met! you both inspire me and have helped me through some tough times! keep it up!

[@RayaandLouis]

Aw thank you so much!! ❤️

[@celestemarie9285]

So cool to watch this after knowing you purchased your land and our engaged. Look what you can create✨🌻

[@roxellamels1762]

I. Love how authentic and reaall you guys are. This is such a realistic couples channel and it's soo refreshing to see.

[@sunnyjha_08]

Love the concept of planning the dream life together ❤️ Much love ❤️

[@juliannalewis6356]

I love this vlog! My brother actually founded a communal housing co-op where everyone lives, works, and does life in community! Thank you for being real and sharing these moments :)

[@noelliepastorino6833]

Did the exact same thing with my husband two years ago after getting married. Visualising what would be our dream life and how we could make both of our dreams work. We saved up for two years and bought a beautiful boat so that we could feel home and travel at the same time. We transitioned to remote working to make it work and learn how to sail. Everything is possible :)

[@dadsurvival3077]

You guys are awesome. Getaway concept fits perfectly here in your video. Thanks for sharing not only your cute cabin, but also your genuine relationship and life planning together. love it!! Just subbed!! Take care guys!!

[@JennaEzarik]

This is too cute! Booking immediately :)

[@il3077]

Jenna Ezarik hey girl x

[@iHeartmusic424]

The community you mentioned reminded me of Tuvalu and how the people there interact and live. I know Yes theory did a video about it and I'm sure you may have already heard about the island and the people, but I think it would be worth checking out. Its even tropical and sunny just like Hawaii but with that added element of family and communal spaces in nature!

[@OurJourneyHasBegun]

What a fun cozy getaway!!!

[@Hello-z8m]

Loved the vlog Raya and Louis!. You're are a smart couple and you'll figure out what to do in your furure life and vlogs. Things will change a little bit on the way but if you committ to your ideas you'will succeed for sure. I wish all the best with this channel

[@RayaandLouis]

Thanks so much! ☺️

[@brianreid5891]

Great Video! And i love the theme of this new channel. It feels like a more mature channel directed at people more mine and my wife’s age. It’s inspiring to see people taking the time and putting in the effort to maintain and nurture their relationship. Subscribed! 👍🏻

[@mastandstars]

Just take your time figuring it out. The point is no pressure. So happy you’re vlogging together and I’m excited to see more as the weather and seasons change. Much Love ❤️

[@finipper]

Tryon life community farm in Portland Oregon is right by my house and I take my kids there to hang out at events. They have two big community houses and tiny houses and I think one tree house. It’s a beautiful community and I think you’d find it inspiring. They are very open to visitors 😊

[@RayaandLouis]

Oh wow sounds amazing, thanks! ☺️

[@chanakrevsky5584]

I was so excited to hear that the two of you were making a channel together. I've been watching both of your individual channels for a while now. You two are so inspiring and I love to follow along on your journey. This first video was great btw. Much love!

[@DanaSenn]

I love this vlog! So nice to hear your opinions and thoughts 🥰

[@marabeth9400]

Definitely inspiring to me as someone in their mid-twenties to think about life planning brainstorming techniques. It can be really fun! Thanks for sharing your process! I have lived in a community-style living environment. There are so many great things about it, but it is definitely important to find a community which on a deep level matches your values. From the surface level it may look perfect, but staying there for an extended period of time to get the feel of things is important to get a real sense if it is right for you! :)

My gf had me watching this vid so we can start incorporating this exercise in our life together - which I think it’s a pretty cool idea. Funny thing tho: my friends and I we always talk about this plan of yours. We build a small community with plants and animals around, where we can share life and have this cool experience. It’s a pretty cool idea! ♥️

[@kirstyrichardson802]

Wow. That drone footage was amazing xx

[@Amz11_13]

It is so weird to hear two people oceans away, talk about an almost identical dream I've had. I've always said if I ever win the lottery I would want to buy a biiiiig piece of land where we (my hubby and I) would invite our family and friends and favorite people to live together. We'd each have our own tiny homes and in the center of the piece of land would be a pool, a big fire pit and bbq, a big communal kitchen, dining area and lounge. We'd also have a big vegetal garden where we would grow all our own fruits and veggies as well as some animals for eggs and milk. We'd all come together at times and we'd all have our own little spaces to go back to. Each tiny house would be specifically designed for the people living there. I've always thought of this dream place as 'my village' so when I meet someone I really like or connect with, I tell them that I'd want them to live in my village (they usually give me an odd puzzled look and I then explain). Love your videos!

[@RayaandLouis]

Haha crazy we do pretty much have the same exact vision! Amazing! 😄

[@theadventuresofzoomandbettie]

Super stunning sunset! Tiny homes are so cute! Feel like I'm too much of a hoarder to live in one permanently though!

[@MattMadine]

Pure gratitude. Such a wonderful video. Much love.

[@Alicelunaoneill]

Love your videos and your new channel. Can't wait for the next video! 💚

[@muoean8219]

I LOVE this channel😍 thank you for these video’s🌱

[@mollypotter15]

Thank you for the life inspiration- I cannot wait to see more!

[@simoneamadi9865]

To think that I met you guys in Kenya and since then been following you makes me feel even more connected to you guys. You're both amazing and glad you found each other through the keepers of nature. Should you ever visit East Africa again, I'd love to see you two once more and make friends

[@neel3371]

This is amazing. Couple goals.

[@maddysancho6658]

Awwww its so adorbs ugh i love you giys

[@RayaandLouis]

Thanks Maddy! ☺️❤️

[@julialuminasalsa]

Looooves this channel! The two of you and your happines makes me so happy❤️

[@PDogB]

Cute couple in a cute house making plans. Thank you for sharing!

[@ЙоанаПетрова-д6с]

You have no idea how much I love your little genuine vlogs and how much I relate to them ☺️❤️❤️ it's so cool that you guys found each other and the real love you carry in your hearts! I think I've never been so excited about someone else's future like I am for you two and I can't wait to see where you'll be in some years ❤️❤️❤️ Love you so much and wish you the best life and future possible!!! Please keep posting because I'm genuinely addicted 😀💓💓

[@RayaandLouis]

Oh wow thank you!! ❤️❤️

[@melaniejaneprocter5529]

Love this channel as you are so beautiful together, children would bring you together even more, bring a new life in to the world part of both of you is so magical. 🤗😍💖💙📸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Aknayirpuna]

💚❤️ this is such a different vibe from both your channels but I am loving it 😍😍😍

[@ElectraJade74]

The two of you are so sweet together and I really love the ways you're intentionally building a life together. Very much a fan of this new channel, I look forward to seeing more!

[@VerdianaYT]

I love you as a couple, already addicted to this channel 😍

[@HallGirl2]

I don’t live anywhere like that, unfortunately! Maybe someday. But there are a couple of KZbin/Social Media families that live on Maui that I watch and listen to. Jefferson Bethke and his wife and kids. And Carlos and Alexa PenaVega (LexLovesLos on KZbin). They don’t necessarily live in communities exactly like what y’all are talking about. But they have consistent community I see in their videos and all regularly. And there’s so much nature on Maui. I remember watching a video Jeff did where he was saying there’s the ocean, obviously, and green, but also mountains and snow! Which is my Dream! Lol Anywho, just thought I’d leave a comment telling y’all about them if you wanna reach out to them. :) Love this format y’all are doing!!!

[@Sinaiii]

You guys are the cutest couple ♥️♥️♥️

[@larisarolon5302]

You guys are so cute together!

[@HoneyWaterRain]

I really enjoyed this vlog and appreciate you sharing your "dreaming sessions"

[@erikabarratt2238]

Love this content! My boyfriend and I have done lots of travel in the last few years and now live in Taiwan. We have been here for 3 years now, teaching English. My boyfriend works at a nature school where the children learn through nature like you were chatting about and I work at a montesorri school. It's given us great perspective on how we want to live our life and if we have children what we want for them. Long story short I feel like him and I have had this exact same conversation. It's sometimes hard to connect with people we've grown up with. Thanks so much for sharing! Also if you ever want to visit Taiwan we are always open to visitors! Feel free to reach out!

[@Adamacros]

LOVED this!

[@mitchellrobinson1656]

Hey Louis this was such an incredible vlog. Your life sounds like legit what I want. You should visit Tasmania the little Apple island in Australia it is such a nature paradise with mountains and coast close by. And believe it or not in December, so Aussie Christmas it was snowing in Tasmania.

[@karishi11]

I adore you both😍

[@mariascott4624]

this is a magical video!

[@KaseyGall]

I’m so excited for this new adventure! 💕

[@bobshaw4063]

Raya & Louis ya's are so Lucky you have each other . Louis your a lucky man having a beautiful woman in your life . Raya you sure are a beautiful woman . You are looking great. Thank You for the tour of the tiny cabin . It's beautiful .

[@darigaabikenova8724]

No, I live with parents in northern Kazakhstan. It's snowing and dry. Literally opposite from what you want, but for me it's nice. But i would like to live in community (with some sort of private place). i work in school. But i would really like to experience community life in summer ✨

[@crystalsard]

Wow what a beautiful place!!!😍 Loving this channel already.

[@RayaandLouis]

Thanks Crystal!

[@WhirlOmar]

It's like you two are continuing the romantic couple vlogs show that Erik Conover and Jessica Clements were starting to bubble before Erik went solo. Enjoying this and looking forward to the upcoming episodes.

[@arisamameda]

This made me miss the snow even though I don’t like cold weather 😝 haha

[@weepingwillow901]

Y'all are too cute I can't handle it

[@zaykajourneylove5609]

All the best for your new channel

[@chioopet]

my bf and i are doing the getaway house soon too! thanks for sharing!

[@allysonmontrose]

Love!! We just did our first getaway home & we loved it!! We also clogged ours as well

[@callumhinton3122]

you guys should move to Boquete in panama where @thenomadicmovement are setting up there own little off grid community on an amazing piece of land up in the mountains

[@megortiz7343]

So wild knowing today where you are headed...you are manifesting it ALL. LOVE YOU BOTH SO VERY MUCH. My daughter wants land for animals and so we plan to have it all by march 2022 n yes this is us is the best.

[@tenereshell]

Raya if you Come to Bulgaria go to Rodopi Mountain. 😉 I think you love it to go there. one of the places I recommend is haidouk meadows. the other is the zero of the Kardzhali dam from the Arda river but climb over it

[@stupidlysmart13]

The "living with community" thing really sounds a lot like living as a first generation migration in many diaspora communities! I certainly grew up around the kids of my parents' friends all the time because I definitely felt like I was raised by the community as opposed to my nuclear family

[@marysamson9228]

WHAT MUSIC, IS PLAYING AT BEGINNING

[@netzspinnerin8391]

...and now look at you doday... you're really almost there, just a few years later, you can really be so proud of yourself!

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you!!

[@xoxoalyssaahh]

I was thinking of Ellen Fisher when you were brainstorming your ideal situations. Shes a vegan mother of three and fourth on the way. Lives in Hawaii. She has land with her husband and they always have other people around for food and with her children being homeschooled. They also have friends living on their land

[@bellemdm]

You are describing my husband and my dream that weve had for about 10yrs now, hoping it will come to fruition next year. However we will swap the tropical for Pacific Northwest... because were sick of heat :p I hope you two see this dream come true because I really think its how we are meant to live

[@puentevejeraforever]

In Spain, everything is really community living. Not as exactly as you explain. But for example, my parents and my best friends parents where like they own tribe and I grow out with their family as it was mine. They have three kids as my parents same age and her uncles are mine too. Their grandparents will get my to school and then she will come to eat with me... Nowadays her and I don't speak as much, but our families are still family. I think I didn't explain really great but in Spain is really normal to grown in community even though you don't live in the same place....

[@JoelBulger]

what a beautiful video

[@robertcoulter7592]

I loved it... Interesting and sweet

[@gagsterguides]

Beautiful episode! Do check out the film ‘ The Descendents’ with George Clooney re. Hawaii 😜

[@LeonCt7sc]

i want to make something like this

[@Someone-From-Somewhere11]

the way louis looks ay raya

[@brentgibson1618]

Have a look where I live. Gabriola island BC Canada.

[@Lyfography]

Wonderful design... Keep traveling and keep exploring Love from #Lyfography

[@whereisangie]

you should check out zaytuna farm

[@meehling]

Check out The Nomadic Movement.

[@rachelbaylis1871]

Anyone have any idea how much a tiny house like this would cost to buy in the uk ? Seems ideal

[@hmmmmm1988]

They can be reasonably cheap but you need to buy land and have planning permission to use it as a permanent dwelling. It's almost impossible to live cheaply in the UK because there are way too many regulations.

[@susandibble3525]

I don’t think you should be nervous at all about your vlogs. The content that you put up is honest and real. I would not want to see thought out, contrived vlogs. Don’t try to do that, your both beautiful people and that’s why we are watching 🙏

[@il3077]

I feel like you’d love New Zealand :) South Island New Zealand

[@aalexwmoss]

@ellenfisher ! Is living this dream of yours!!

[@MindOfMine.]

I think you should live in Avatar. It's exactly what you describe as your dream place :p

[@ewchiq]

You should connect with Kaylee and Jordan from The Nomadic Movement (on youtube). They are building a community homestead in Panama (tropical, green, lush :P).

[@vanyag.2899]

Sounds like a big farm with neighbouring houses? I don't know if Hawaii is the best place for raccoons 😅 Also, have you thought about Bulgaria?

[@michellemarleau3035]

💙

[@Muthrtung]

seems what you're describing are like *Eco Villages* we have one where i live, on Waiheke Island, NZ, which is the very thing of communal living/individual dwellings, pieces of lush land. google all around for info, inspiration, from these villages i reckon, you'd probably get great insight. with the pendulum swinging change on the world as we know it, there are more & more people wishing to buy land, often with like-minded peeps, for this very way of life, now. organic, sustainable, living, with others, but also with your own privacy, too. also, especially with places like Hawaii, look to the indigenous peeps, as they understand living in-tune with the land, perhaps more than any others. we are all the Kaitiaki of our lands (Maori word for caretakers). maybe look at creating your own village. everyone helps purchase a big block of land for the purpose of it. with Tiny Houses maybe. look at Bryce's *Living Big In A Tiny House* channel. full of great TN's for idea's, insight into the premise of simpler, more natural ways of living. also, everything we wish to manifest starts at the vision of it. the practicalities fall into place, the more we place our energies into attracting what we desire. if nothing else, feel it at your core, & send it out there (wishing upon candles isn't actually silly :-) especially a green, orange, or yellow one, for abundance & growth. blessings xx
