Louis playing the "didgeridoo" and proceeding to say "I've still got it 😃" was major Dad behavior and I'm here for it 😂❤️ always love watching your journey together and so excited to watch this new journey for you two!
I finally have internet to get caught up on my favs!! Eee love watching you both settling into your Brighton life 🥰 can't wait to visit soon ... should I bring Taco, Cat, Goat, cheese pizza?! also, that morrocan lantern feels like a little piece of Lee in your home now! love it
Having one of those days where my depression has the better of me, and can’t seem to leave my bed. Dreaming of sunny days and seeing you guys by the ocean made my heart happy.
@@RayaandLouis an unexpected and much appreciated reach out. Thank you. Watching you guys, Kara and Nate, and Eamon and Bec is so refreshing. Congratulations on the pregnancy.
I been there my self being stuck in a wheel chair and on a trilogy vent kinda nixes my travel plans watching vlogs is my escape you just gotta take it a day at a time and surround yourself with positivity.
For me, following your journey through parenthood and your daily lives is a wonderful way to stay connected with your subscribers, also your vegan experiences and thrift shop buying is wonderful.
I'm enjoying seeing this more relaxed chapter of your life! Recently my husband and I have gotten in to buying things second hand, helps the wallet and the environment so it's a win-win. Plus I truly think all our older pieces of furniture are more well-made then the modern pieces.
Hi Raya! A few months ago on IG I told you you're wedding retreat inspired me to join a yoga studio. I did it with my mental health in mind, no other reason. I'm happy to say I've done 64 classes, I'm on class #17 to complete 30 classes in 60 days and I have until 3/5 to do it!!! I've grown so much in all the ways! That's why I follow your channel. You guys inspire me to be better. And give wonderful ideas on how to do so. Thank you for being you, both of you!!! Love from Vancouver, WA 🇺🇸
Supporting you to be more settled and stay in one place! It's hard but worth it. Don't feel pressured to be travelling around and entertaining everyone. Love
This is probably my favorite vlog ever on whole RUclips. It feld so calming and fun watching you building up your home and explore the world of building roots and settle on a place. I really think that humans need to settle for some time to really connect to a place and feel like being bonded to the community and culture. I love that you experience that together while you are becoming a family. It really suits to the nest instinct we women have when we are getting pregnant. It‘s lively to watch how you enjoy the calming down and built up routines. ❤️
Upcycling, thrifting, how you’re starting your home garden, vegan spots in Brighton (I visited in 2017 and I think about Food for Friends all the time), Raya’s feminine meditation room and Louis’ workshop projects, I’m here for all of it. 😊
I love thrifting!! I am an interior designer and my entire home is thrifted. My style is a very minimal design with natural elements. I wanted my home to look like a magazine without paying luxury price. Absolutely prefer thrifting and yard sales over going to a retail store.
I love it also! You should see the brocantes in France! You should take a trip there & have that experience & splurge. There are interior designers in Los Angeles…that go there just for this. Raya & Louis can easily do this now as well! ❤
Thanks for this - plus, if it's any help... we would totally watch a video that's just the rushes of the browsing in the shops! Love the grounding at 13:30... I know this sounds batty, but it would make sense that the parts of our body that face the sun would absorb Vitamin D which is the tops of our feet(!)
Head along the coast to Seaford. A visit to view the Seven Sisters Cliffs is a must. Also a short drive inland to Lewes. It’s a town that is historic and has a really cool vibe and loads of great places to eat and cool shops. I live on the Sussex coast and am privileged to watch the sunset into the sea everyday! Welcome to your new home and enjoy your nesting phase xx
You two are just so adorable together and just perfect for each other. I love watching you two because your both so happy and have the best attitudes. Plus Louie is so progressive about the earth and sustainability.
Loved the charity shop haul! A good thing to hunt out is muslin cloths, you will use lots and lots and lots of them when your baby eventually arrives. So include them in your hunt for sustainable things. I sold all my muslins at a second hand baby fair.
When we bought our 1st home our daughter was 8 mos old!, I bought EVERYTHING at yard sales on the w/e's, thrift stores (there wasn't FB marketplace!) Which brings me to my hopefully good suggestion for you guys, we have a free Facebook page in my town! I see the most beautiful stuff - especially for babies!! From maternity clothes, baby clothes, bottles, breast pumps everything & anything you can think of! And furniture for the house too!!! You're really doing a fantastic job getting your home set up!! Such an exciting time!
I love watching you two together because you are both so truthful about everything. Plus, you always look so happy together. You two were meant to be. I've been watching you for a few years now and your videos brighten my day! Loved the wedding videos. I'm so happy you are expanding the family and have a place to call home while the family grows bigger. I wish nothing but the best for you all. Thank you for being you. Looking forward to more videos from you. Also love the videos of you with Eamon and Bec and Kinging it. Thank you again.
I grew up with my dad taking me to Sunday boot sales and charity shops and now I’m older I love thrifting! We have a 4 month old daughter and the hand me down clothes have really helped us - like you said they grow out of them so quickly and we love passing them onto others once she’s outgrown them 😊
Hey guys! I've only just discovered your channels a few days ago but I've already binged watch so many of your videos, including your solo channels. I love everything you two stand for. My hubby and I have a similar vibe. He is British (northern England) and I'm from the west coast of Canada. We met each other back in 2017 and travelled for a few years after settling down in the UK in 2021 when we got married and now we're 15 weeks pregnant, due in the Summer! Little behind you both. I love Brighton so very much and look forward to all your adventures to come - I've followed all your socials and clicked all the notifications so as not to miss a thing. Your positivity shines. So lovely to see you surrounded by love from your friends and family no matter where you are in the world - it's such a similar feeling to us and I just adore you both. X PS - Louis I LOVED your most recent cross-country with your van daily vlogs and Raya - Im so excited to see what other videos you come up with on your channel. X
Bless and sage all your stuff, sea salt .... You guys have good , grounding energy. I would do two freezers to freeze ,broths, foods, jars of foods, smoothies. Use jars, thermos for ready to go foods, soups,drinks anywhere for quicker eating and less cleanup...
I’ve deeply enjoyed watching you guys’ adventure in LIFE period! I feel that you’ve always seemed to have a particularly beautiful niche of sharing your love story and the ups and downs of married/engaged/couples life. Even your adventure to the altar was amazing! Whether you knew ahead of time that that’s what you were doing- I believe your Skoolie adventure WAS your adventure to the altar! You guys got engaged after that but it was the whole move to Costa Rica that seemed to set the tone for your next life chapter! It just felt like the ring was coming the whole time lol. ❤I feel like all the travel has been awesome but the true underlying story in it you’ve been telling along the way is your life journey. So all that being said, I’m excited to just learn what you’re learning about becoming parents! Even settling in AND at some point learning to travel as parents! Your holistic remedies for mother and fatherhood! All of that is so fun to witness and learn alongside you guys. ♥️ I’d love to hear Rayas take on emotional education for baby and just the thoughts you have about raising your child to be a care taker (self care and even as a young man for those he loves some day- cuz it all starts from the beginning). I feel that even this would be beautiful from Louis side of the story, as we’ve watched him grow more and more into husbandry and manhood in his own ways! You guys just have this glow of being such tender caring and fun loving people and to see how you raise your son to model that same love in the earth- I feel like that’s going to be such a blessing to many!! Anyhoo! God bless your growing little family!! Soooo happy for you guys! And thank you for all you’ve shared thus far! Never forget to LIVE out your precious moments in real time- just for yourselves! We will be here ready and waiting when you’re ready to share! THANK YOU!♥️♥️♥️🙏🏾
Loved this lovely video! I love Charity shopping in the UK! A very easy way to stay sustainable and give to charity!! Winnnin. I love watching your guys videos as I've been watching you both grow for years! Especially you Raya, very inspirational to see who you were at the start of your RUclips journey and see where you're at now. Much much love to the three of youuu!!! 🤗
Raya, you’re radiant! And you’re rocking those jeans! ❤ Luis, great to see you being active with friends. It seems like you’re both really settling into this season in a place that really suits your family.
For me, the ocean is it. It is grounding. I lived in Arizona for a very long time. It's always kinda been my thing that no matter how cold, rain shine,whatever, if I go to the beach, I must remove my shoes, roll up my pants and dip my toes in. Even for a second. That super cold water rushing over me and the sound of the water, the glitter of the sand...it hits me and I am alive and whole. This is why I moved here to LA. Been here 10 years now. Love it. So glad you guys were able to connect with that both here in Cali and there in the UK now.
I used to watch Louis back in the British vlogger days - I've kept up to date over the years briefly here and there but I've just subscribed to this channel. Seeing you both living a slower paced lifestyle but still unique resonated with me and I feel you will peek in popularity again due to this. How exciting and I love the house!
Hi have you been to see the starling mumerations at the pier they arrive about half an hour before sunset if you stand on the pier and look towards the old pier you will see them it is an amazing sight as they finally fly under the pier to roost for the night. Happening from now until the end of march.
So excited for you both! And thank you for sharing little snippets of your pregancy journey. I am attending my 2nd scan today where hopefully we will find out what we are having, so very excited
Welcome to Brighton - so lovely to have you guys here! Also be sure to check out the Starling murmuration off the main pier (stand about half way down) just before sunset up until end of Feb. Its beautiful and so calming.
You two are so adorable! It made me so happy to see you come home and share your thrift store treasures because it brought back so many fond memories with my family doing the same thing. Loved it!!
I watch your channel for both of you. I found Louis YEARS ago back I think through watching Zoella, Alfie Dayes, and other UK bloggers. The algorythm saw my love of adventure and suggested him, and then he met you in like the second or third video I saw and I instantly LOved you Raya! So yeah, I've been watching both of you I guess since BEFORE you started DATING!!!! OH MY GOODNESS! I love home vlogs, babies, DIY, home decor, renovation, dayn in the life, as well as travel and adventure, living off grid etc. Anyway. Whatever you post I'll be watching it! Have a WONDERFUL WEEK! Sending LOVE from the Great White North in -30 degrees Canada! ~Jj 💖
Brighton seems like such a cool town! So glad you will be "nesting" there. Have fun exploring it and settling into a new rhythm. I like Louis's line about adapting your nomadic outlook on life to now living in one place. To me, there's the answer for your new content.
I've enjoyed this video SO MUCH. Thanks for sharing, we do miss you a lot! Cali looks so so happy. And I also enjoy this more relaxed types of videos, there's no need to be on an adventure every-day. I also really enjoy your comments on furnishing, art, the garage, looking forward for watching the last baby-moon
I watched your "Were moving to Brighton" the other day, it was the first time I've watched one of your videos, within 20min I was subscribed to all your channels, following you on Instagram and I caught up on lots of your past videos, you are my new favourites! Sending you all loads of love Xxx
I’m just excited to see you show how you can have adventures in your “normal” everyday lives! ❤️ I love both of you and am here to watch whatever you choose to film.
I love watching you 2 , because you 2 are truly beautiful people n show the world that we are all different but yet the same n think about the choices we make n how it effect the world. live to Cali as well
Love your channel!! I am a subscriber. I just finished binge watching all seasons Doc Martin, filed in Cornwall. Beautiful and engaging. Highly recommend. ❤
Wow Ya's have allot of Charity shops there!! I love shopping in those place's for sure!!That restaurant was beautiful and the food looked delicious!! I am a Survivors fan myself!! I excited to see more of yur town!! Thank you for sharing!!
Great episode - charity shops are the best - I always feel the pre-loved items bring a sense of character with them where new items are just stuff. I bought some beautiful white work table cloths from one and didn’t look like they had ever been used. Oxfam used to sell online - it might give you more choice if you’re looking for something specific - they also have amazing bookshops.
I loveeeee shopping in charity shops! As someone who lives alone, it's vital that I look after my money but I also like to dress myself and decorate my home so charity shopping is the nice middle ground between the two 😊 It's really interesting to see you both hitting a new stage of life together. You both may feel slightly different about it, but just make sure you have a safe space to express your feelings about the change without judgement. Also, taking your foot off the gas gives time for deeper thinking and development and a chance to realign, so I think you've picked a perfect time to do so before baby boy gets here ❤️
Worthing is really good for charity shops. Also having a route through. Also if you find a Bert's Homestore- their clearance section is always good to riffle through. There's one in the lanes in Brighton and one in Worthing. Gelato Gusto- their sorbettos and vegan cakes are amazing!!!
So excited for your pending parenthood !! You two are adorable❣ I love thrifting as well; couldn't get over how many shops there were so close together. Looking forward your last adventure before baby!
2 travel inspired games you have to try out! Backpacker - a card game based on backpacking around the world. Parks - based on America's national parks. I love them both!
I am loving this episode. It would be fun to see you getting your babies nursery ready. I love that you are finding things secondhand. I love going To the charity shops. I find so many awesome things. Have you found out if you are having a boy or. Girl? What color will you paint the nursery?
I personally like how excited you get about things I am excited about. They are great vegan food and vegan choices in all the restaurants you go to, the sustainable living choice ideas in furniture and home products, seeing how you live your life in your new environments. The big thing I love is how excited you get over connecting with nature and simple things! I live in Alaska, everyday I get inspired and filled up by nature around me; so I relate to your excitement about that. Ok..and seeing your love for animals warms my heart; I feel the same way. Louis, seeing a man so sweet to little Cali (did I spell that right ?); well that speaks a lot about the kind of man you are. You're gonna be a great dad. Raya, your compassion spills over too; you will be a loving and purposeful mother. So keep showing us this new chapter of your life; we WILL GET INSPIRED!
Love how you share yourselves shopping in charity shops. 🙌🏼 People need to support charity shops more. 👀 You never know what you find! And I love watching the sunset go down in the evenings. 🌅 I always try and go for a walk everyday too - I find it clears my head when i have too much on my mind. 😀
Yes, I love up cycling furniture, clothing, etc from thrift shops. My favorite is garage sales because they are less expensive than thrift shops and sometimes find real treasures.
Raya and Louis - I am thoroughly enjoying your journey exploring sustainable living in your new community/home in the UK. This video alone gave me such insight while reminding me to recommit to my goal of living more sustainably. It is not easy and we need videos like these. Also…the UK is my new adventure! I live in Canada but started travelling to the UK with my family in 2015 and now we are in love with the country. We ventured beyond London, went hiking in the Yorkshire Dales and now can’t wait to return. The South of England is also on our list so we can’t wait see more of England through your well-travelled eyes! Wishing you all the very best!
Raya and Louie I love thrift shops also. And I'm so glad that you bought baby stuff from them because your right they grow out of them so quick, in our family we pass baby things to the next person having a child. The restaurant looked amazing as well as the shop with all the lights in the ceiling.

Louis playing the "didgeridoo" and proceeding to say "I've still got it 😃" was major Dad behavior and I'm here for it 😂❤️ always love watching your journey together and so excited to watch this new journey for you two!
"Dad behavior" really got me here hahah
I finally have internet to get caught up on my favs!! Eee love watching you both settling into your Brighton life 🥰 can't wait to visit soon ... should I bring Taco, Cat, Goat, cheese pizza?! also, that morrocan lantern feels like a little piece of Lee in your home now! love it
Having one of those days where my depression has the better of me, and can’t seem to leave my bed. Dreaming of sunny days and seeing you guys by the ocean made my heart happy.
Depression is no joke. I am battling an episode myself right now. Hang in there.
I’m so sorry you’re having a rough day Sarah ❤️ Sending you soo much love - hope tomorrow you wake up to the most beautiful sunshine! ☀️
@@RayaandLouis an unexpected and much appreciated reach out. Thank you. Watching you guys, Kara and Nate, and Eamon and Bec is so refreshing. Congratulations on the pregnancy.
Sending lots of love and strength to you and @WM Xxxx
I been there my self being stuck in a wheel chair and on a trilogy vent kinda nixes my travel plans watching vlogs is my escape you just gotta take it a day at a time and surround yourself with positivity.
For me, following your journey through parenthood and your daily lives is a wonderful way to stay connected with your subscribers, also your vegan experiences and thrift shop buying is wonderful.
I'm enjoying seeing this more relaxed chapter of your life! Recently my husband and I have gotten in to buying things second hand, helps the wallet and the environment so it's a win-win. Plus I truly think all our older pieces of furniture are more well-made then the modern pieces.
Yes on furniture from the past is better quality
Hi Raya! A few months ago on IG I told you you're wedding retreat inspired me to join a yoga studio. I did it with my mental health in mind, no other reason. I'm happy to say I've done 64 classes, I'm on class #17 to complete 30 classes in 60 days and I have until 3/5 to do it!!! I've grown so much in all the ways! That's why I follow your channel. You guys inspire me to be better. And give wonderful ideas on how to do so. Thank you for being you, both of you!!!
Love from Vancouver, WA 🇺🇸
Wow this is amazing! Thank you so so much ❤️ you have absolutely inspired me to get back to doing yoga more regularly! I always feel amazing after ☺️
I agree nothing like coming home to a loving fur baby! I have 2 pups that get totally excited when we get home! 🥰
Supporting you to be more settled and stay in one place! It's hard but worth it. Don't feel pressured to be travelling around and entertaining everyone. Love
Aaarrgghh 😍😍they are amazing dog parents, Cali is loved and I just can't imagine how they'll adore their tiny human 😍😍
It would be cool to hear from Raya on her pregnancy journey ❤
Agrees
This is probably my favorite vlog ever on whole RUclips. It feld so calming and fun watching you building up your home and explore the world of building roots and settle on a place.

It‘s lively to watch how you enjoy the calming down and built up routines. ❤️
Thank you so much! ❤️
Speaking of charity shops, you guys should definitely check out ‘Emmaus’ in Portslade. It’s very close to where you are and it’s huge!
Upcycling, thrifting, how you’re starting your home garden, vegan spots in Brighton (I visited in 2017 and I think about Food for Friends all the time), Raya’s feminine meditation room and Louis’ workshop projects, I’m here for all of it. 😊

Exploding Kittens is THE BEST GAME! It’s super fun, especially when you start learning the strategies.

Love this day in a life video! Really enjoy seeing this new season in your growing family. Sending lots of good energy your way.
Love how you matched all the charity shops with the banner at the bottom! Would love to do a video with you Louis!
I grew up with my dad taking me to Sunday boot sales and charity shops and now I’m older I love thrifting!
We have a 4 month old daughter and the hand me down clothes have really helped us - like you said they grow out of them so quickly and we love passing them onto others once she’s outgrown them 😊

Your dog and you interacting with her is the best!
How is immigration working for this longer stint, Raya? Are you able to access the NHS or do you have to go private?
What a lovely look at your lives. Love your thoughts on needing to touch nature! So true! :)
Thanks Rachael! ☺️
Bless and sage all your stuff, sea salt ....
You guys have good , grounding energy. I would do two freezers to freeze ,broths, foods, jars of foods, smoothies. Use jars, thermos for ready to go foods, soups,drinks anywhere for quicker eating and less cleanup...
It's lovely to see you are settling in well in Brighton. Sending you ❤...love from London
Thank you so much!
I always feel peace when I watch your videos. I feel calm and happy. Thank you.
Loved this video! old fashioned vlogs that I really enjoy! You guys feel like friends that I am catching up with!
I’m jealous of the vast amount of Charity shops!!!!!

The home and town videos are my favorite. Your relationship is "goals" and it's lovely to watch. Thank you for sharing your great family vibe.✌
I was a student in Brighton MANY years ago. This brought back really fun memories of walking the lanes and visiting the seafront. Thank you!
For me, the ocean is it. It is grounding. I lived in Arizona for a very long time.

From Boston and my mum and I are near the airport beach all year
I love these videos from Brighton ❤! I find these videos as interesting as the ‘wild adventures’, the variety in vlogs is great!
Question: What is your favorite board game? Loved the video! I am looking forward to the house tour video! :)
Love this video and how you go thrifting to find treasures. Also, how you guys love Cali and can't wait to meet your new bundle of joy.

So excited for both of you! We had our baby girl almost five months ago and it’s been such an amazing journey. Y’all will be great parents ❤❤
So excited for you both! And thank you for sharing little snippets of your pregancy journey. I am attending my 2nd scan today where hopefully we will find out what we are having, so very excited
The restaurant is The Ivy Asia! Really spectacular x
Charity shop is the best - give it a go. The gems you can find is just brilliant
18:23 Love the bucket haha. Nice color too😁🤩By the way, love these videos at home.
Moving art on Netflix!! Great binge and it never gets old.
Welcome to Brighton - so lovely to have you guys here! Also be sure to check out the Starling murmuration off the main pier (stand about half way down) just before sunset up until end of Feb. Its beautiful and so calming.
Really enjoyed the take on this video. It was such a "feel good" watch. 😊😊

Have a WONDERFUL WEEK!

I’m a watcher of the crew since 2012 and can’t wait for their year of the bunny baby chapter
“I like this one cause it’s rainbows and sunshine” 🥲❤ so sweet lol
OMG your bump is so cuuuuuuuuttteee
Brighton seems like such a cool town! So glad you will be "nesting" there. Have fun exploring it and settling into a new rhythm. I like Louis's line about adapting your nomadic outlook on life to now living in one place. To me, there's the answer for your new content.
I love anything you guys do. You are amazing, love you guys. Can’t wait to see baby
I get most of my furniture from the British Heart Foundation shop....always great quality and affordable x
You both and Cali look so happy! Brighton looks so nice place to live!
Love for this kind of video!!! A real glimpse into your life in Brighton!!! 🌺🐾
I've enjoyed this video SO MUCH. Thanks for sharing, we do miss you a lot! Cali looks so so happy. And I also enjoy this more relaxed types of videos, there's no need to be on an adventure every-day. I also really enjoy your comments on furnishing, art, the garage, looking forward for watching the last baby-moon
I loved the charity shopping. Please take us along on more of these trips! So fun.
I watched your "Were moving to Brighton" the other day, it was the first time I've watched one of your videos, within 20min I was subscribed to all your channels, following you on Instagram and I caught up on lots of your past videos, you are my new favourites! Sending you all loads of love Xxx
I really enjoy this! Love the hidden gems and what you are promoting.
I’m just excited to see you show how you can have adventures in your “normal” everyday lives! ❤️ I love both of you and am here to watch whatever you choose to film.
I love watching you 2 , because you 2 are truly beautiful people n show the world that we are all different but yet the same n think about the choices we make n how it effect the world. live to Cali as well
I watch this channel....BECAUSE...YOU BOTH are just glowing!!!
love your red sweater Raya! youre glowing
The two of you are absolutely awesome.🤗
My Boba baby carrier was my favorite and I wore mine through two kids before I passed it on.
Love your channel!! I am a subscriber.
I just finished binge watching all seasons Doc Martin, filed in Cornwall. Beautiful and engaging. Highly recommend. ❤
Wow Ya's have allot of Charity shops there!! I love shopping in those place's for sure!!That restaurant was beautiful and the food looked delicious!! I am a Survivors fan myself!! I excited to see more of yur town!! Thank you for sharing!!
I love thrift shopping! There's always so many hidden gems to be found. It looks like y'all hit a great haul there!
Watch the BBC version of Ghosts! Its a community living show with a twist!
Great episode - charity shops are the best - I always feel the pre-loved items bring a sense of character with them where new items are just stuff. I bought some beautiful white work table cloths from one and didn’t look like they had ever been used. Oxfam used to sell online - it might give you more choice if you’re looking for something specific - they also have amazing bookshops.
You guys are such great people!! No matter what niche you produce content for I'll always be excited to watch you 💕
I loveeeee shopping in charity shops! As someone who lives alone, it's vital that I look after my money but I also like to dress myself and decorate my home so charity shopping is the nice middle ground between the two 😊
It's really interesting to see you both hitting a new stage of life together. You both may feel slightly different about it, but just make sure you have a safe space to express your feelings about the change without judgement. Also, taking your foot off the gas gives time for deeper thinking and development and a chance to realign, so I think you've picked a perfect time to do so before baby boy gets here ❤️
Worthing is really good for charity shops. Also having a route through. Also if you find a Bert's Homestore- their clearance section is always good to riffle through. There's one in the lanes in Brighton and one in Worthing.
Gelato Gusto- their sorbettos and vegan cakes are amazing!!!
Love this episode of house treasure
So excited for your pending parenthood !! You two are adorable❣ I love thrifting as well; couldn't get over how many shops there were so close together. Looking forward your last adventure before baby!
Bonsai plant kitchen is a great vegan restaurant in Brighton !
2 travel inspired games you have to try out! Backpacker - a card game based on backpacking around the world. Parks - based on America's national parks. I love them both!
I am loving this episode. It would be fun to see you getting your babies nursery ready. I love that you are finding things secondhand. I love going
To the charity shops. I find so many awesome things. Have you found out if you are having a boy or. Girl? What color will you paint the nursery?
Really loved this video. Very fun and interesting seeing all the things you got and the great deals.
I personally like how excited you get about things I am excited about. They are great vegan food and vegan choices in all the restaurants you go to, the sustainable living choice ideas in furniture and home products, seeing how you live your life in your new environments. The big thing I love is how excited you get over connecting with nature and simple things! I live in Alaska, everyday I get inspired and filled up by nature around me; so I relate to your excitement about that. Ok..and seeing your love for animals warms my heart; I feel the same way. Louis, seeing a man so sweet to little Cali (did I spell that right ?); well that speaks a lot about the kind of man you are. You're gonna be a great dad. Raya, your compassion spills over too; you will be a loving and purposeful mother. So keep showing us this new chapter of your life; we WILL GET INSPIRED!
I LOVED your Thanksgiving cooking vlog in the school bus that you did a couple of years ago. I'd love to see more of that in your upcoming videos.
Your videos are so comforting. Thank youu! Just inspired me to check out charity shops myself and look for boardgames :)
Lots lof love xx
Love how you share yourselves shopping in charity shops. 🙌🏼 People need to support charity shops more.
👀 You never know what you find!
And I love watching the sunset go down in the evenings. 🌅
I always try and go for a walk everyday too - I find it clears my head when i have too much on my mind. 😀
I loved watching you explore your new hometown. Awesome video!!!
Yes, I love up cycling furniture, clothing, etc from thrift shops. My favorite is garage sales because they are less expensive than thrift shops and sometimes find real treasures.
I really did enjoy this video!!!
Raya and Louis - I am thoroughly enjoying your journey exploring sustainable living in your new community/home in the UK. This video alone gave me such insight while reminding me to recommit to my goal of living more sustainably. It is not easy and we need videos like these. Also…the UK is my new adventure! I live in Canada but started travelling to the UK with my family in 2015 and now we are in love with the country. We ventured beyond London, went hiking in the Yorkshire Dales and now can’t wait to return. The South of England is also on our list so we can’t wait see more of England through your well-travelled eyes! Wishing you all the very best!
Raya and Louie I love thrift shops also. And I'm so glad that you bought baby stuff from them because your right they grow out of them so quick, in our family we pass baby things to the next person having a child. The restaurant looked amazing as well as the shop with all the lights in the ceiling.
