Van Life On The Beach In El Salvador

[@mrshadenoughofallthis911]

I have noticed that you both take the time to thank each other for the little things you do for each other. I can tell you, over 20 years of marriage and 1 teenager later that this small kind of consideration really matters. (we chose to have a few child free years as we married soon after we met)

The way Louis looks at Raya when she talks about their passion project 💜💜

The most beautiful country on earth, Complete with the friendliest kind hearted people 🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻

Tarzan riding a School bus is such a vibe ^^

[@jackmeyers40]

Literally the best "schoolie" adventure i have seen on YT.

[@RayaandLouis]

Aw thank you so much! ❤️

[@orangekabrown]

I love how Louis just loves the challenges and Raya freaks out every time. I'm definitely team Raya there, haha!

[@carloshercules3499]

Amazing videos 📹

[@JohnAJohnson]

Raya is so naturally beautiful, even sweltering in a school bus ;)

[@sandyc6569]

Yes she is!!!

[@RayaandLouis]

Haha thank you! That dinner shot was filmed after I applied my nightly skincare which is why my skin is glistening like that 😂 but thanks!

I can’t wait to visit my home again 🇸🇻 El Salvador is beautiful🤍🤍

[@karen0895]

Makes me so happy to see you all traveling to my country! I love it when people visit and are able to the beauty of El Salvador 🇸🇻

[@RillaG]

I'm curious how many viewers of travel vloggers are introverted home bodies like me, and don't want to do what you are doing, but enjoy getting a glimpse into a completely different lifestyle. I love my quiet home life and have zero desire to live in a vehicle or travel around the world constantly, but I still love seeing others traveling and getting a glimpse into other cultures. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@EMTevjorgensen]

Remove the rear box and mount it forward of the rear axel. It compromises your rear clearance too much especially with the long distance from the rear of the bus to the wheel and axel.

[@MaryandReza]

nice👌👏

[@laurasaca9652]

I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay in our little country ❤️❤️🇸🇻 happy wedding weekend!

[@RayaandLouis]

Thanks Laura! Hope to be back soon ☺️

[@carollove8752]

This trip is something else! 😂😂👌🏾 Louis is an absolute legend! I'm just like Riya. That scream each time something hits a bump. 😂😂 congratulations on your wedding! Can't wait for the wedding series! ❤️

[@chloe9904]

Loved this episode!!! I hope you guys have the greatest time on your wedding day and take in every moment of your special day 💙💙 congratulations to you both!! Also you both handle the stressful situations with the van so well! I would be a mess!!!

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you so much!! ❤️

[@Violetentity]

Great episode, the dip in the ocean looked so wonderful. Your story telling is great and I felt like I was right there with you.

[@sebastiansuarez5511]

I hope you plan on exploring a little bit of Honduras! You are truly a phenomenal and underrated travel channel!

[@mmoshier08]

Congrats on the wedding, only hours away! What a video. Latin America seems so tough to get through border wise.

[@RayaandLouis]

Thank you!! Ohh just wait till the next few videos 😂🙈

[@teristinybuslife8161]

Watching on TV. Had to get in phone to like the video! Love watching you two and enjoy your adventures. Love you, stay safe!!

[@olgabombard6277]

You keep me in suspense in most of your videos!

[@EMTevjorgensen]

Rear cameras and side cameras hooked up to a dash display. Might be helpful.

[@timngugi]

Following up closely on your adventure, loving every bit of it, it feels like we're travelling together and we are getting closer to Costa Rica

[@elsienorback7689]

Wow, I seen a couple of other bus conversions like your on your video. That pretty cool.

[@sportstyler50]

Wow Louis great bus driving .

[@captaindave47]

I love watching you two, you are so good together. I am a 74 year old full timer in vanlife and like you I love the life. I would not want to live in a house ever again.

[@RayaandLouis]

Aw thanks David! That’s amazing ☺️

[@susanevans8470]

I love watching you guys on your travels to Costa Rica and can't wait to watch you get married,it is nice to see how you work together and talk and help other on the drive you've been through some hairy situations together that's for sure. It's nice to see how respectful you are of each other and thank you when you help each other. I certainly think you are going to have a wonderful marriage as the trials and tribulations of van/buslife have certainly been difficult and stressful for you both. Good luck in getting to Costa Rica and your wedding can't wait to see it ❤

[@Bel-ej9go]

Wow, found you guys after watching Kara and Nate, love it all. Enjoy x

[@marielpindar6312]

It’s so cool to watch you guys navigate through in the bus. As an anxious person like Raya I am inspired to try more things so thank you for doing this and sharing with us!!

[@marcydovale]

these always bring me such peace... even the stressful moments.. haha.

[@I_am_Lauren]

Literally the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen! In! Your videos are so vibrant and colorful, I love it!

[@SBooher1]

Can’t wait to see your wedding pictures. Costa Rica is beautiful. My niece got married there 10 years ago in Manuel Antonio. Amazing wedding! Good luck surviving your final plans. Also looking forward to seeing your land and the process of building your house. My sister in law’s brother lives there and his property is beautiful. You have definitely had an adventurous trip. Congratulations.

[@ash.lynn17]

I'm looking forward to seeing your wedding! It's really great to see a couple so in love, I'm so happy for you guys!

[@daleamcallister284]

Louis I've traveled The World extensively, and your travel adventures are a true delight to watch. small slight suggestion when you are entering a parallels trac perhaps red by foot to see what's around the bend?! also, have you thought about teaching Raya how to drive?!!!

[@melissamoeller9608]

I love your blue dress! You two are such a great team.

[@joycady8325]

Enjoy and please be safe!

[@alaindionne1641]

Happy Wedding week you guys ! I hope it’s nothing but bliss relaxation and the birth of a thousand memories and adventures ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you ☺️❤️❤️

[@gypsygurl]

You sold me on saying name of JOHNNY HARRIS. He is one of the best investigative journalist, which is a rarity in today’s era, and who I have followed forever & admire his work deeply. So so excited to buy this course even though I do not plan van life anywhere in the near future but anything that has Johnny Harris’ genius and you both who I love love love will just be fun and educational. Wishing the best to both of you and Johnny!!

[@RayaandLouis]

Aw thank you so much! He really is amazing, his channel is one of our favorites on KZbin for sure. So grateful that we got to collaborate on this course!

[@garyezard7512]

Great video guys … fantastic driving Louis … can’t wait for next one 👍

Thanks Crystal! ☺️

[@Beingpoo]

Hey guys, you both are so inspiring, and Raya, you look so beautiful.. If me and my partner ever get a chance, we are gonna definitely think of getting a bus/van or something similar. I’m sure my partner would enjoy remodelling the van and fitting in new things like how Louis does. It’s so nice to see the both of you almost perfect for each other 🧿 I think it’s the day of your wedding today, and I wish you both a really happy and beautiful life together❤️

[@JKandCounting]

I love how you all show the struggles of bus life. It is a beautiful adventure for my family to go on one day, however, we would need an unlimited supply of money. The amount of unforeseen damages, fines, and gas alone is a lot to process. However seeing all the beautiful places ya'll have been is magical. Safe travels to the final destination!

[@RocketDog73]

Fair play to you guys. I would poop myself driving that bus through those narrow streets. If they were just one way they are bad enough but you have to also contend with oncoming traffic. Legends 👍 Ha ha and you were watching Eva on your phone before lunch too!

[@PHBLOZ]

Louis you need to weld bump stops on the rear of the bus. most large busses with overhang have 2 thick legs with a foot to take the impact before the body of the bus hits.

Good luck with the new course you're launching with help..I want you guys as stress free as possible.. You both are couple goals and I've been married a whole long time without the visible caring love and respect you show to each other. You two are so authentic. I appreciate that! You just come across as such good people and humans.We need more of that in this world! Till next time stay safe as well.. oxo💕 ✌

Omg I can’t wait for the course. I’m excited 😆

[@RayaandLouis]

Yay thank you!! It’s out now!

[@jasongates-]

Louis, with all of these narrow streets and having to have Raya check for you and all of the backing up and hoping for high enough clearance with power lines and everything, makes you glad you're not a school bus driver for a living, huh? 11:17 Then when it's raining, it's like a shower within a shower. 13:08 "Back Box Damage" could be a playlist of its own. The Nicaragua border crossing sounds as strict as one would expect USA border crossing to be.

"I think we smashed it" not sure that's the right choice of words to use lol. I love it, the boarder shuts down at lunch time, and don't you mean Bus Life 😜 After seeing you use Just Egg on a previous video I decided to try it and dam it's good, thanks for that👍

[@nicolettahabsudova6485]

Hi guys, I love watching your adventures driving through Central America... you're doing great :). Could you please write a short summary of what you need to enter each country you went through? Like the formalities and stuff... or do you just come with copies of your passport to do border and they'll give you everything? I would really appreciate your quick summary of necessary things. We plan to do that with my boyfriend next year as well. Thanks a lot and happy travels!

[@sl4202]

You should watch family fizz why we had to leave Costa Rica. Safe travels

I didnt expected it but I litterly broke into tears, It is my dream to travel in a bus for over 4 years. Iam watching you because You guys are so inspiring, Iam not finding much dutch bus travelers and everyone calls me crazy here. I never talked about it but I won't stop untill I get my hands on a skoolie... Thank you for the reflection and everything you do. Sending you both much love, one day we'll meet!

Aw thank you! Yess you can definitely do it! It’s the perfect home for us ☺️

Why not add rear view cameras which have constant on function . For each side . Will be easy driving *_*

Hi Raya and Louis

[@aaronnuffer4220]

Dang I was thinking of upgrading from the sprinter van to a bus, but seeing how many tight spots give you headaches it makes me wonder. guess it’s just part of it haha!

[@RayaandLouis]

Haha it depends where you go! For the states the bus is perfect, for Central America or Europe definitely a van is a better option

[@PureLifeFamily]

Yeah, such an exciting road trip!!! We wish you all the best on your arrival down here in Costa Rica. Stop by and we can give you some fresh Cashew apples and Mangos! Consider it a pre-wedding gift!

[@dawnyski9175]

Thank you for sharing this week. Although, the title read Van Life on the Beach in El Salvador, and it isn’t until 25:30 of 30:25, that I finally see you on a beach. I am glad your followers enjoy the stressful streets and border crossings but I am not one of them. Maybe the title could be more accurate? Just a suggestion.

[@Throughoursoul]

Just enviously watching your videos and thinking about how we will be doing this soon. Moving to Peru next year from the UK (hubbies fam are Peruvian) and we would love to travel. How are the restrictions and requirements for V passports through the borders as we don't have them. Happy to test if needs be(even tho this might stall travelling 🤦🏽)

[@naturesweety]

Do you need to show vid vax status at every border crossing? Or is it all free of that unlike Canada?

[@meinh956]

Raya I loved that white swim suit! I am busty as well and have a hard time finding cute supportive suits. Where is it from?

[@RayaandLouis]

I thrifted it at that market in Guatemala! Such a good find!

[@Dojanne]

First of all, I really love the way you guys share your life, you are both so positive and honest, I like it a lot. But, I cannot help but wonder: how long can you do this living and driving in a van? What about the environment? What are you thoughts about that, I am sure you have, because of the treehouse and ecological/biological food growing and stuff.

[@mtghippie3144]

Hi guys! aren't you afraid of driving without any sit belts?
