Thank you for 100k 🥹 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Y'all, we are THRILLED to welcome another year, especially after a whirlwind of changes and adjustments throughout the past one - as we started 2023 in our van in Mexico, drove to Canada, sold our van, and moved to New Zealand to embark on a new adventure.

In 2024, we have so much more international travel planned and we cannot WAIT

*Here's a sneak peek at what's coming up in the new year, without giving too much away:*
- the NEW ZEALAND series continues as we will keep on getting to know this amazing country
- we will keep on exploring the Southern Hemisphere as SOUTH AMERICA is on the agenda!!
- one of my best friends is getting married! so a wedding is bringing us to CANADA& then... return to sunny, beachy, van life overseas? bus life? we'll have to wait and see...

(And fingers crossed for a quick jaunt back to Europe sometime this year too)

*Updates to our posting schedule:*
- come hang with us every weekend! we aim for Saturdays, but sometimes, when life gets in the way, we'll see ya Sunday

- In our quest for a better work/life balance, we're planning ahead this year. Rather than waiting until we're running on fumes, we'll be taking scheduled breaks. SO in addition to next week that we are taking off... we will be taking May 2024 and October 2024 off of posting. 

We'll still be active over on IG with daily stories and updates during those two months.

With all that organizational stuff sorted, we want to extend a massive THANK YOU for making the past year incredible. 

We're beyond excited to have you along for the ride in 2024.xx 

Ok here's another one - how do you prefer to plan your travel itineraries? 

We were talking with friends last night and this question got brought up. Now I'm SO curious.
How do YOU handle jet lag while traveling across multiple time zones? 

The beginning of our New Zealand series is live! 
We are so excited to be travelling again and we can't wait to show you the exciting purchase we made on our first day in NZ. 🤫

But first, we have to get there. 

Today is my 30th birthday.
And I moved away from the west coast, my home, once again.

I spent the first half of my 20s worrying so much about my career and what it would look like on paper. For those of you who don’t know, I’m a film school graduate - and becoming a producer was my dream. So I quickly networked and attended events and took contracts and scoured Craigslist and talked to friends of friends and applied for jobs I was *totally* not qualified for and I overworked my way to “success”. 

And 6 months after landing my dream job, something was missing.

I was 24, seemingly “on track” with a job I could only (to this day) still call the best job ever, and I just wasn’t happy.

So when Nick and I got together, we derailed.
(On purpose)

And here I am today - thirty.

Not at all what I thought I’d be doing by 30. Not at all even close to figuring it all out. Just wanting to soak in these moments next to my husband on the airplane thinking ‘what the fuck are we doing now’. 

And those moments of being absolutely humbled by how much we *don’t* know are the best little birthday gifts ever.

We are BACK y'all!! OMG!! We missed you so so much and this month off of YouTube has been *so weird* but much needed. Can't wait to be back posting weekly videos every Saturday and kickin' it off with a good ol' "how much we've been spending" while we've been away. Chat with you in the comments!! xx 

50,000 SUBSCRIBERS!!?! 🎉🎉🎉

You guys - we are absolutely thrilled to have woken up to 50K of you here! It is still wild to us that even 10 of you have any interest in watching us fumble around the world. But 50 THOUSAND of you have been a part of our journey of working on the road, building tiny homes, driving across borders, taking seasonal gigs, working our asses off to afford this crazy little lifestyle - and we are so, so, so grateful. 

I wish I could give each one of you a big squeeze today - but just know, that we are overflowing with joy. And we are so appreciative of every. single. one. of. you.

So much love,
Nick & Raych 

This week, we got on a plane and went on a different kind of adventure ✈️ but we shortly after got sick and have been stuck in bed. There will be no new video this weekend, see you next week for more adventures. 🤍 

Ok, so - what do you think the most enjoyable way to travel is?!
