    By far the best vloggers out there! I so look forward to seeings Raya and Louis in my morning notifications! I love the way you give a little history of every country you travel to as well as the local vegan restaurants and cafes etc. Your way of communicating to us is special as well, no hype, yelling or screaming.....very chill. Can't say enough good things about you.

    My hubby and I are the same. He wants complete darkness to avoid the glare on his screens, when I'd live with the glare to get the beautiful scenary and sun.

    Visited this channel from the Kara and Nate channel, and I've got to say I may just be my new favourite! Incredible quality, so enjoyable to watch and it's amazing to see a beautiful couple doing what they love most together! Also love and appreciate that you guys share the good and bad parts of van life etc....and the realities of travelling the world together in such a small space! I look forward to the upcoming vlogs ☺ x

    The best time to tour things is early in the morning or at the end of the day, especially in places like Assisi or Venice where they get bus and boat loads of tourists that are just there for the day. We wandered around Assisi in the misty rain at 7:30 one morning and it was magical.

      Louis has millions on his other channel. I've been watching him since 2013 and Rayas channel since he met her. Lots has changed since then, but so have I so I still love the videos. It's interesting watching their audience change again with this new channel, I think it's great they're starting a new channel adventure together rather than posting on their more popular channels. This one will get to the millions.

    If quaint was a country, it would be San Marino. Beautiful hills filled with history
    was hoping for them to win Eurovision this year because they had Flo Rida. Fingers still crossed to eventually see the day Valentina's backyard hosts Eurovision. But hey, at least they can say while they didn't win Eurovision this year, they became the smallest country to win an Olympic medal.

    Raya didn't know San Marino existed a week earlier, but knew all of that history about San Marino once she found out about it. I knew of San Marino decades ago, but I didn't know any history of San Marino at all, and I'm a history buff. All I knew was that it's one of the smallest countries in the world, with about 30 something thousand people, surrounded by Italy. That's all I knew.
