[@shellsa1984]

Don’t stress about the sponsored content, we are more than happy to support you :) and appreciate this is your job and income too x

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you so much!! This means a lot ☺️❤️❤️

[@JohnCarterFitness]

living like this... it's where I would feel the safest... peace, tranquility, nature, good vibes, self-awareness, all... connecting with the hidden gems that our world has to offer.

[@RayaandLouis]

☺️❤️❤️

[@brittenyslyparry7642]

Get yourselves walkie talkies, so when parking or turning around the bus you can communicate easily and avoid damage

[@tinavarner7870]

Breathe in, breathe out.. when you get back from LA to bus it will be a new chapter and a new adventure attached! Ya got this!

[@Hello-z8m]

I love that you want to take the trip slow and easy and want to connect with other people. The image of you doing yoga on top of the bus and the mountain behind you is epic. Really enjoying this vlogs ❤

[@julianajubyyasmine]

you got this guys! We've been in the same boat, working our butts off lately...its our last month of hustle before we get back on the road full time - hope to meet you both on the road :) oh and thank you for the reminder to get on my mat today, watched this episode during some much needed yoga flow ~~~~~~~

[@wakaywa]

“Garden of the Gods”. South of Denver 60 miles, so beautiful. Look it up. Hopefully the photos will win you over.

[@robertpurnell4783]

Have you considered positioning the roof boxes to the front of the roof rack? You have a huge overhang past the rear wheels! Don’t want you to lose steering!

[@SlyApex]

I would actually prefer to see you guys do sponsored content more often because Its super easy on the viewer and you guys absolutely deserve to be compensated for the content. Cheers guys excited to watch more!

[@ballwreb]

Would be really interesting to see you guys cover finances during one of your chats. Do you have a budget for this trip, especially since you have so many big ticket items coming up in life (wedding, baby, building a home)? Do you ever argue about money or have different financial habits when you travel that causes conflict? I'm also planning some big ticket items with my long-term partner, as well as trying to have room for travel.

[@madisonmartin3561]

I’d love to see you come to West Virginia! It’s a place that’s not commonly explored by travel vloggers but it is beautiful! There so many opportunities for adventure in New River Gorge (which is the nation’s newest national park!) There’s also so many waterfalls, gorgeous hikes, and cute sustainable shops to explore here!

[@meriahm21]

I’m loving these episodes !!! So proud of both of you many more adventures to go!!! ❤️

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@brianelbers315]

Wow that was a sandstorm and a half amazing landscapes

[@Annie-yn6mm]

Kara and Nate are an awesome couple doing van life around the USA :) p.s love you guys, always happy to support

[@NoitsBecky.]

I think it would be the cutest thing seeing Raya drive the bus and Louis as Co pilot!! Lovin the vlogs!

[@TonezOhh]

You guys should meet up with Kara & Nate! They're also doing the van life around the USA

[@megancrofts2620]

I wish you guys were coming to Canada! would love to show you around

[@dominiquebourgeois8907]

Nomadic movement! They are a couple that was living in a small bus and last year bought land in the mountains near Boquete in Panama and they are currently building a small community on their land! All learning as they go! Super interesting, genuine and lovely people to watch! For whenever your in Pamana :)

[@ntobekomaphanga9201]

I can’t get over the guy who jogged right past your bus... what in the “Breaking Bad” was that?

[@rolandoemora]

Probably an Ultra Marathon Training session.

[@TheLifeOfCLos]

Can't afford a car I guess...

[@athenamorgann]

They’re most likely on the Navajo reservation and a lot of people live away from civilization. Most likely that guy is just doing his exercise and probably lives farther away from where they parked.

[@nancyp9404]

Exactly my thoughts haha xD

[@annpopenfoose3750]

OH, man! Wish you could have stayed in Moab longer! We were there for 3 days a few years back. The national parks near there are breathtaking...Arches, Canyonlands, and Dead Horse Point. And Moab is actually such a lovely town to stroll through, kinda touristy, but we ate at their local block of food trucks in town. So much fun and delicious! They also offer white water rafting and 4 x 4 off road tours. We hope to return someday, as we didn't have time to get all we wanted in, even after 3 days there!!

[@ΆνναΠαντσίδου]

It feels like you are the home for each other . So connected and respectful . 🏩

[@SchoandJo]

We are so excited for what this next year has to bring for you guys! We love voicing your dreams and making them a reality. We are a full -time travel KZbin couple who currently live on a 34' boat. We are planning to complete all 6,000 miles of America's Great Loop in 2022. We completed 800 miles this year, but had to pivot from our original plans when Elliot broke his wrist. We would love to meet you guys and maybe even do a bus/boat swap for a night. Either way, we can't wait to follow along your bus life adventures with the ups and the downs!

[@rosiefoubister2543]

I love your approach to adventure, your transparency with difficulties, and you candid-ness for all of us to enjoy. Loving these vlogs so much - thanks for including us all x

[@juliannalewis6356]

Came over from Kara & Nate's channel, and I've already subscribed! Can't wait to see more!

[@islt.cheyne8658]

I love Kara and Nate!

[@liaforyourtubel8330]

ooooh great drone shots!

[@andrewhickok]

You have to go to Northern New Mexico. There is so much good up there...Taos, Chimayo, Shiprock, Bisti/De-na-zin Wilderness, hot springs, earthship houses, all good and magical vibes.

[@onedm1]

Louis needs to start a Spotify playlist so we could follow. I love his music selections! Anyone agree?

[@RayaandLouis]

Totally agree he should! But it’s me (Raya) editing most of these videos and choosing the music ☺️

[@onedm1]

@@RayaandLouis lol burn😖. I stand corrected. Sounds like you both do an amazing job! Maybe a joint playlist? 😉🙂

[@jerrisworld6250]

Walkie talkies or being on the phone during the backing up or parking process help so you guys can communicate better/faster and without having to see each other

[@ElectraJade74]

Please come to Gainesville! North Central Florida is subtropical forest, and I'd love to show you places like La Chua Trail, Devil's Millhopper, Sweetwater Wetlands, and the nearby springs off the Ichetucknee and Santa Fe Rivers! I have plenty of tubes, but I also really like renting hybrid kayaks for the Santa Fe. I feel like you'd have plenty to explore in my area, and because I work part-time at a library/am in grad school, I have some schedule flexibility, am fully vaccinated and would love to connect! It would also be worth it to visit St. Augustine for the history and the beaches, especially if you've never been, plus it's less than two hours away. I know it'd a bit of a cul-d-sac to drive down into Florida, but if you head this way, I'm here and open for adventure.

[@breehurley7139]

Thank you for these vlogs! Loving them so much!!

[@ebee2158]

I am really enjoying your videos. Look forward to more on the road. Good luck.

[@tacallor]

Very rarely comment on videos but just wanted to say thanks so much for these - you guys are so real and authentic and I so love watching them. So just wanted to say thank you!

[@ritasito]

i loved seeing clips of the actual road

[@hssnn7547]

These two are living one of my biggest dreams. Fair play. Top content 🔥

[@marielpindar6312]

You guys are so wonderful! Thank you for always teaching us what it’s like to disconnect and being present in moments!! 🥰 more people need this! Y’all content is so amazing!!

[@hereiknowmyself-jeaniealks377]

Love this vlog! So much beautiful scenery and a real check in on emotional reset! Take care of yourselves as you move along!

[@Lauren_aida]

If you make here it to New Orleans, check out the abandoned Jazz Land theme park. I recommend going early on a weekend morning! Also Holt Cemetery - most cemeteries here are above ground because of flooding, but this is one of the few places where people are buried below ground. It's a potter's field with beautiful homemade grave markers and a historically black cemetery where some of the greatest originators of jazz are buried.

[@AnnieBuj]

love you guys' openness :) super positive!

[@ethienne]

If you guys pass by Florida, I would recommend checking out the Springs near Gainesville, specially Ginnie Springs. It’s a nice place to camp at, not sure the bus will fit in there though lol.

[@elizabethlorr7341]

Two of the most sweetest people on earth!

[@5wo8oda]

You guys rock!

[@breamullen]

come to Tulsa, Oklahoma + visit Tallgrass Prairie Preserve a bit north of here! It is a natural preservation of the American west & houses a free-roaming bison herd!

[@Nora796]

I love the conversation today! Also don’t mind the sponsors either! I do def support you guys and look forward to all the content coming . Love you guys!

[@bmart73]

tuck the tips of the mats in the cracks of the deck

[@emilylinck2790]

Come back to Flagstaff!!! I grew up in SW Colorado (Pagosa Springs). Well maybe go to Pagosa Springs, CO. Super cool

[@emilylinck2790]

The world’s biggest hot springs

[@paulandnarelle8557]

Loved the video and love you both. Epic yoga location and great travel scenery shots. Just expecting John Wayne to ride by at any moment. Appreciate your open and honest updates, be they good or bad. Luv from down under in Aus.

[@lfpd123]

Oh my goodness, I am loving your journey so far and this is just the start. I'm so excited to see more of what you get to experience. Here's to your adventure and all the memories you're making💖

[@verenaesau7714]

When Raya held the microphone directly to her mouth. Haha, couldnt help but giggle 😊

[@meganadsmond]

Lived on the road in an RV last summer and the same thing happened to my bike. There is a wonderful bike shop in Moab, Utah called Poison Spider Bicycles. They were wonderful and did an excellent and quick job fixing it!

[@TR1L.16]

Thank you For taking us along with yous rays and Louis.watching from uk. Xx

[@buildanadventure]

You two are so genuine and inspiring. We absolutely love your outlook on life! -Ben and Ang

[@j3pop191]

Come on down to Texas check out Port Aransas Texas you can park a bus on the beach and everything

[@SabahFakhouryTruthseeker]

Wonderful drone shots of Utah. Great work. Get some rest!

[@Ayztv]

U guys need walkie talkies for manoeuvres like that which would help for convenience. Phone signals in remote places aren’t reliable

[@soulnourishment3894]

If you'll be near the Eastern Sierra Mountains in california/Nevada visit the hot springs in Mammoth,CA! There's so many up there and tons of free camping right by them🥰

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you! Probably won’t be back there till the end of the year but will make sure to stop by!

[@jemmadobbygriffin3127]

Kara and Nate would be an awesome colab. Excited for future content 😊

[@richardlaundon]

If you did ever think of coming back to the UK , even for a vacation, then you definitely have to try living on a narrowboat and exploring the canal networks. Such a great community of people who live permantly on the cut where life moves at a very nice 4mph :D

[@RayaandLouis]

Ohh such a cool idea!

[@richardlaundon]

@@RayaandLouis If you want some inspiration then check out good friends of mine Foxes Afloat who do just that. Travelling around the country on their boat vlogging about the history of the areas they go through and also sharing thier daily lives on board. kzbin.info/door/kaFsF378jNuL2xmZMH9knQ

[@darisseruben]

I love Moab Utah! Great views

[@DanUnplanned]

I wish I could travel like this! All I wanna do is make content and travel you guys are living the dream life! Hopefully one day I can too

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you!! Hope you get a chance to soon ❤️

[@DanUnplanned]

@@RayaandLouis thanks so much guys! I hope so too

[@ballwreb]

Try and make it to Lake Superior - the North Shore. It really will blow your mind in a completely different way than any other open body of water.

[@fundadtv6336]

You guys are doing an amazing job! thank you for sharing!

[@gagsterguides]

Love the glasses Raya! Very sophisticat! 🍷

[@radar59]

Another great video, guys, don’t drive tired!

[@melissapritchett6929]

You guys should check out my hometown of Ellijay, GA. The beginning of the AT. Beautiful mountain town.

[@TheGuyJose]

Another dope vlog. The intro gave me vibes from the movie "HOLES"

[@Rustyjamesman]

You guys should go down route 66 for a bit, there's tons of fun little shops and things to do along the way

[@loreszatmari6038]

It would be fun if you could hang out with Kara & Nate.

[@0sba]

Nostradamus haha

[@georgehughes-onslow8037]

Don't know if it was possible when you can I love to see you guys in Alaska 😍 been great to see that.

[@blackvelvetchic4218]

Come to Greenville SC. We have so much fun stuff to do. Some hiking trails. Pretty place chapel (look it up it’s amazing)

[@bethanykauk5249]

My family lives on an apple orchard in NorCal if you guys want to visit in September to the apples when they are ripe!

[@elizabethlorr7341]

These vlogs bring me life! so much joy!! :)

[@christinesmith4688]

Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keensburg Colorado is a great place to visit

[@leahbaker3916]

Woodstock Animal Sanctuary in Woodstock NY! They are amazing! You could volunteer

[@LizzKillian]

Hope you guys are headed to Zion. Totally worth the stop.

[@deniserichards6941]

Hope you were able to visit Moab a little at least. It's beautiful!

[@katiekatie12341]

The poor bike!!! Lol. But you guys I have my van now and I’m currently building it and it would be so cool to meet up with you. It would have to be later in the year obviously once I get my build closer to finished and also I live in Canada so the borders opening up would need to happen. But where I live in North western Ontario is soooo gorgeous. Full of lakes, and rocks and trees and mountains(small ones) and also there’s a place that has 2 huge swinging bridges across a canyon which is pretty cool. So you guys should consider coming here;)

[@oliviak.4585]

You should come to Pennsylvania! We’ve got some awesome state parks and hiking. Pittsburgh is such a unique city and definitely worth the trip, I think there’s a good selection of vegan restaurants too depending on where you go!

[@DiscoverWithDima]

You guys need to come to Indiana, we have the great Indiana Dunes, one of the newest national parks! It’s very diverse, and has some beautiful scenic views and hikes. I live in the area and would show you guys around! Loved this video!!

[@AutismTwinsUs]

Mexican Hat, Utah . Cool spot

[@mychristmasemporium5927]

More than welcome to come to Weymouth Dorset when you do get back here! I’ll show you my mini Christmas shop cabin

[@anthonyherrera3689]

You guys should go to Mount Rushmore

[@AndrewLynch9]

Loving this new channel where it's a team effort 😍

[@orangekabrown]

Can I ask a boring question? What mic and what wind protection did you use for this video? I live in Scotland and recording vlogs outdoors is just impossible with this wind, haha!

[@isabelwhite3137]

We’re on road trip right now, from Ohio to South Dakota in Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse monument , now we’re going back home to Ohio 🤙.

[@RayaandLouis]

Nice! ✨

[@mattcandy]

So where do you guys find spots to pull over and stay for the night? Is it legal to just pull over on any side, dirt, road and stay? How do you know if it's private property or not, or even if it's public property that's government owned where you're not allowed to stay overnight?

[@RayaandLouis]

We’ve been using the website freecampsites.net ☺️

[@Northrop-Grumman1991]

Oh man you guys would probably love where I live I have a decent size river in my back yard literally a few steps away always has water and we go walking a lot of the times following the river that leads us to amazing waterfalls and beautiful peaceful spots to swim at and it’s in California 💁🏽‍♂️

[@izabela8844]

Really enjoy watching your vlogs! I'm having a hard time lately and you guys give me good energy! I'm from Poland, but I dream about exploring US someday with my other half

[@mastandstars]

Will you be visiting The New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia? Also I recommend a book called Blue Highway by William Least Heat Moon Great road trip book!

[@bevtrue6937]

Gotta see Mesa Verde (near Four Corners) Anasazi Indian cliff dwellings from 1200 a.d. Guess it is too late now but maybe you did.

[@chrismaine9482]

You and Raya would LOVE kayaking down Weeki Wachee River in Florida! It is 6 miles of Crystal clear spring water. It is beyond beautiful! Check it out, and Live the Adventure!!

[@juliacentofanti1866]

If you come to Mass, love to show y'all around to some places! Or if you need a place to rest, i make a mean plate of homemade pasta! Love the content, thank you for sharing your journey!

[@xyzcomp08]

Looks like you guys made it to Mars, fly the drone!

[@lightwarrior1]

Hi Guys😃 Sending you a big hug and blessings from Israel💕💖💗🤗 Continue enjoy life!🤩🌼 Thanks for sharing 💗🤩🌼 It is amazing how much light and love your videos create!! Love you🌼🤗

[@misslesliexx]

You guys should meet up with Kara and Nate! That would be iconic!

[@juliepiggott7331]

Are you both ever going to come to Australia?

[@elisefreeman7234]

Our family of 6 live in highland utah. We have an extra bedroom you could stay in- we would love to meet you both and go on an epic hike up mount timpanogos or explore the timpanogos cave.

[@haysparkle]

LOVE these episodes, cant wait for the next!

[@RayaandLouis]

Thanks for the support! ☺️

[@sunnyd1928]

5:58 should be the thumbnail 🤣

[@mychristmasemporium5927]

That’s what I did with my Christmas shop but I put it into the universe and it happened 2021!

[@RayaandLouis]

Love that!! ✨

[@marshah5478]
