ROMANCE OF THE ROAD | Van Life Vlog

[@Cookinmamas]

U’ve seriously out done yourself Rachel. This is what pure bliss feels like

I feel like I’m free falling

[@80LD]

I literally told myself 'don't blink' as your photos flashed. so artful. felt so special that the thought of replaying feels unreal! like someone telling you a secret they wouldn't just repeat casually

[@thatschicblog]

Yoooo

[@elisacesaro]

Yes! I'm indulging not to watch it a second time as each image feels so intimate and sacred that a replay seems too intrusive

[@thatschicblog]

@@elisacesaro what a description! Feeling so validated how much my editing translate through for a message like this 🕊

[@prr3sha]

@@thatschicblog i want to be u fr

[@nagisadavis]

your videos always takes me out of where i am and warp into where you are. when the video ends, im back where i am but with a different mindset and perspective

[@TryonThrift]

I love how carefree, effortless, simple, yet bougie you are. Just living life with ease and mindfulness. Thanks for another great video.

[@wavelolmu9985]

i was obsessing over an unhealthy unhappily crush this morning, but watching this video really grounded me and reminded that true romance implies mutual respect and collaboration, and it doesn’t have to be painful

[@thatschicblog]

i know that feeling - if it makes you feel any better... this person in the video, same feelings. had a painful crush on him for a few years. timing brought us together in, possibly, the best versions of ourselves thus far.

[@wavelolmu9985]

@@thatschicblog thank you for sharing that, i really appreciate it! it’s nice to see my situation from this perspective of just accepting what is right now and that it may possibly involve into something in the future (and even if it’s not it doesn’t mean there won’t be love)

[@jesusisapisces]

I like that you give yourself time to create meaningful, unique reels of art instead of churning out videos on a regular basis for the sake of it. That's what I appreciate about you. No one can do what you do. This was very beautiful.

[@hadleybanas2983]

This one and your japan video gave me the most strange, beautiful, alienating, and intoxicating feelings. You capture everything in such an unreal way that it makes reality seem too real. Seriously beautiful.

[@MsObsessedwith]

Always blessing us with a piece of her mind in a visual masterpiece at the right time...Thank you, Rachel!

[@themustardgas]

For some reason I find comfort and peace in a rather seemingly disoriented edit. I can only come to the conclusion that its your magic girl!

[@dawnsvlog]

yesss what a piece of art. her edits and song selection are top notched

[@Thandonline]

rachel, your videos always feel intimate but the editing on this one takes me to another level. thank u

[@grayscale1870]

Is the ilovecreatives class going to cover the ideation process of creating videos with this snapshot style and how to make stories with 1,000 of clips!?!?!?💖🌸

[@ImJaniceYen]

Your video is my ultimate spiritual inspiration. Whenever I feel down and uninspired, I will always visit your channel. I hope you are happy and amazing right now. And I'll always be excited to see you again online.

[@ilanaholland]

i saw this video when it came out and i come back to watch it so frequently it's probably not healthy lololol i just want to crawl inside of this video. i'm honestly so inspired by Rachel and all of her work. i want to be her when i grow up.

[@farizasflowers]

You leaning into your intuition for the video is really bringing out the filmmaker in you. I could watch a full length movie in this type of format. 💖

[@rosewearsclothes]

so weird cool and special seeing someone i admire so much experience bits of my home !! your perspective is beautiful and reminds me i'm taking so much for granted!! love u long time rach

[@GlendaSiagian]

It's like reading a book of poetry or coloring a book every time I watch your vlog. No fuss, less explanation and visually very invigorating ❤️

[@aathenaiz6151]

i can’t describe how much i love your editing

[@dawnsvlog]

rachel you're the best story teller! your vlogs are real and deep! thought -provoking every single time! Please update more. My fav vlogs. period! thank you

[@tastysoap]

hahaha, omg it's just soo good. i finished the video and now i'm crying? rachel you always hit the emotional nerve, sending all good energy to you and your new relationship. this was truly beautiful.

[@_dearsharon]

the moody/rainy shots overplayed with the music is giving me such twilight vibes! love your raw, unapologetic content as always

[@LydiaDT]

not even 30 seconds in, already freaking out!! You heighten all my senses Rachel, you take me thereee!

[@minimesnowflake]

So talented! hope we get to see a Thatschic-directed movie one day x

[@Kelpy]

I keep thinking this, too!

[@bngr_bngr]

Cant be worse than the other crap that gets produced.

[@gourmandeen6491]

you literally inspire to live and breath and just appreciate everything in a different light xx Thank you Rachel, every video is a hidden gem - healing souls :)

[@Kelpy]

when you consider how talented Ms Nguyen is as an actor/star, cinematographer, editor, writer, and how knowledgeable she is about so many different topics, nutrition, lifestyle, ecology, how she is able to share her own love of nature, her thoughts about home and Leica, and her friends, .... we are so privileged that she shares her thoughts and life with us! Thank you!

[@KayleySakamoto]

I was *just* rewatching The Art of Loneliness to fulfill my wanderlust. This is honestly such a dream and I'm so glad you've decided to share with us. Hopefully I'll be able to do some traveling of my own soon :)

[@stephaniecea]

Recently I started dating for the first time since fall of 2019… none of it went well and I honestly lost a lot of confidence. This vlog helped release those feelings and give me hope that my person is out there somewhere… just a matter of our paths crossing ❤️ Thank you for this.

[@michelletran2637]

Pure serotonin

[@quinlanadolph]

The videography and creativity is insaneeee; such a unique style of storytelling. Just beautiful

[@carolineprocopio9493]

Ok but should she be nominated for an Oscar for her work? Cause no joke - short film category immediately

[@dm-vans]

So glad you enjoyed your experience! Thanks for showing us all this beautiful and unique corner of van life.

[@reisahagun]

This will always be my comfort vlog that ever exists!!!!

[@ferobertson]

I love your work so much. the shots, editing, and song choice are always so perfect. your videos leave me with a physical understanding of your experiences. I always feel like I can relate in some way. please keep exploring and creating because this is so beautiful and inspiring.

[@aur__else]

[@neleseyfarth5385]

Gosh Rachel..you are so talented! Please don't stop making content ever! You are the only creator I truly admire and aspire to be. I love you! Thank you for this insight!

[@alexamorrison7039]

Incredibly captivating and inspiring. The nostalgia of new relationships and summer road trips was flooding over me. Incredibly artful, and felt like I was watching a memory. Xx

[@jjj2489]

Your daily life video let me know what is life itself. It doesn't mean money, luxury goods, fame. But satisfaction, companionship, optimism, confidence. Love your videos, can't wait to watch more😄

[@bluestlight11]

You described it so well about escaping to the unknown of nature. Nicely put together. 💕

[@offlicense6097]

Still one of my fav videos ever uploaded

[@tovapickle]

You have the most exquisite style for visual story-telling, such immense talent.

[@markignaciorazo]

I'm sorry Rach for being late to the party. I watched this while eating a tub of ice cream 30 more minutes before midnight. In a cold room, where the only light is coming from the digital clock on the wall. I'm comfortable with where I am right now and you doubled that feeling. Please keep making these vlogs and make us feel like we're home. I love you, Rach. You're an angel.

[@withkinza]

hey hello this is SOO beautiful, might’ve teamed up once or twice. the way you captured the moments ... wow

I recognized that mural outside of your van in Portland instantly and was caught off guard. You were about a ten minute walk from my home outside one of my favorite bars!

[@thatschicblog]

Oooh what’s the bar?? Gosh Portland is soo charming, I love it there. I went to the coffeee shop right there!

[@MorganBak]

@@thatschicblog The bar’s definitely a dive but it’s called The Hilt - they have some surprisingly great art on the walls. You must’ve gone to Proud Mary’s! One of my favorite breakfast spots too - they’ve got a great breakfast sammy. :)

[@AeiTri]

Solid gold! 😩💜
