    I am in love with the colorful buildings in Antigua. I ended up staying there a week and would honestly move there (well temporarily) It is perfect for digital nomads!

    15:47 Louis Guatamala was in a civil war for 36 years from 1960 to 1996 so the rouined buildings you see are most likely left from that era.

      Sorry to comment back Quid but Louis and chaotic do not match for me.I find him chill as hell ( compliment) esp for someone who drives a scary big bus..I would know as a have an anxiety disorder and don't know how he has kept his cool threw some of this series while driving. Loved this vid Raya and Louis! The shopping was amazing with those prices and fun dancing. I am a Pescatarian myself but have a vegan daughter so the food place you go to looks great! The climb sounds very intense.I believe i saw one or two of your travel friend's that also did it. I can't wait to see it...Stay safe you two! ✌💕🚐

    Love my country. Thank you enjoy. Antigua used to be the capital of Guatemala before but with the earthquake that happened ages ago people had to move the capital to the city. Love las palmas!!! Good food and great music scene.

    Hey guys, just wanted to tell you something. I couldn’t find any other way to text you guys so I decided to leave it as a comment on one of your videos. I just want to say that you two truly are inspirations to our world and are changing it for the better. Today, I had an English class and recently, we have been learning about travel. I was shocked when I looked up onto the screen and saw Louis’ face on it above the title ‘Vlogging’. In my English class we watched some of your old videos (Australia Day to be specific), Louis, and learnt about your vlogging styles and how you engage the audience. Just thought you might want to know that we learnt about you in school and you have impacted lives all over. You are changing younger generations so for that, thank you… so much. ❤

    Hey friends! You both looked so lovely in your bright fun attire!
    Just a note… I have worked in customer service in many capacities including food for my whole career & it’s definitely a point of contention with staff at restaurants/cafes when customers come in the last 30 minutes before close. Staff is in full closing procedure mode & it’s something that really makes staff unhappy. It’s truly a respect thing. Just be mindful ✌️❤️🌞

    Curious, as a veteran in film production for 35+ years based in LA, what was Raya’s job on the commercial here?
    I actually quit doing commercials about 10 years ago to focus on feature film making, and love the narrative you give to your vlogs each week. Good work!

    My mom is from Guatemala, Antigua has a volcano called Volcan de Aqua, volcano of water, however apparently from what I've been told the volcano flooded the city ruining the spaniards churches, houses; you name it. So the volcano is dead, and now Antigua serves as an outdoor museum for visitors to see the ruins. Raya and Louis visit Tikal after you bring the bus back to America that would be cool to watch.
