Wonderful news!!! 💞 Congratulations to you both!!🥳🥂 Exciting times ahead 🦋
that ring is INCREDIBLE! i've never seen anything like it! can not wait to see your journey into the future, i've been here for a while now and you're one of my favourites. so raw, real, inspiring and beautiful
Raya, you're such a lovely human, I don't know why I feel like you are a friend of mine, the way you speak to us is just full of genuine kindness and warmth :) I am so happy for you and Louis. And that treehouse community sounds right up my alley. Can I ask: will this be open to someone like me and my partner if we'd like to move there and join the community? Or will you select friends and family that would join you? :) Honestly, I'd love to see more of your videos surrounding food/cooking/veganism, talking about important issues and values that interest you, and even more clothing/fashion videos because your style is honestly so beautiful! More self-care/self-love/personal growth videos as well, you could do a "book series" if you are an avid reader. Simple things like skincare routine, your favourite meals, tips in general... I love that stuff! Sending hugs!
Congratulations to your engagement 🤣 you both make such an adorable couple. The tree house community sounds amazing! I just found youR channel today. I am enjoying the vegan cooking, self love and travel vids. I You have such a beautiful filming style. There's a real, gentle tenderness to you that really enduring. Keep vlogging!
Congrats 🌺 building: tree houses & community sounds amazing ✨ fingers crossed. Can't wait to see it😊 and I love your personal journey on this channel! Follow your Soul Path! 💛✨
I love your authenticity and realness. Just keep sharing your life as openly and vulnerably as comfortable for you. It makes me feel less alone, realizing we’re all in this together♥️
Congratulations on your incredible news, you are a beautiful person that deserves the world, Thankyou for sharing the updates with us, it's so inspiring to watch 💜✨
Congratulations! This is so exciting, I’m very excited for where you are heading your channel. I was wondering if maybe you could share a bit about the biggest positive influences in your life either now or the things/ people that have helped you get to where you are today in terms of self love. Love your videos
So happy for you and whats coming on this channel! I would love to hear how you can live your dream life what you can tell us about manifesting and being courageous to actually changing your life.
Ahhh I love this, will definitely make videos around this! ❤️
I can feel your energy through the screen congratulations on your engagement
Yes super excited and super happy you will keep this channel going! Would have hated to lose this your individuality 👊🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🧡
I really apritiate inner healing and self love videos. Thank you for everything you have shared so far.
can’t express how happy I am for you guys! You bring so much light and love into this world and I hope you both have the most fantastic future together💛🤍
I love your energy and can't wait for more content. It would be nice to hear you speak about how you deal with fear ❤️
Congratulations on your engagement, I'm so happy for you!🎉🎉💜💜 What a stunning ring too!😍😍
What an amazing adventure with building the community too, can't wait to watch how it all progresses🤩🤩
First of all, congrats on everything that's happened the last month!! The videos that I gravitate toward on your channel are the more laid back vlogs, but with a structure. For example the what I eat in a day. I think it would be really cool to see your family channel grow, but then maybe share more of your personal perspectives on something you're going through on that channel here, so like childbirth, maybe anxiety you're having with all the processes you're going to go through with building the house and wedding planning, things like that. Also maybe just some Q and A's weekly or monthly since we all love your advice and viewpoints and I think it's a great way for us all to connect as well. I wouldn't stress too much about this channel since we will all be here for you no matter what even if there's no set schedule
LOVE this! congratulations on your engagement ❤❤❤❤❤. im happy to hear youll be focusing on personal development. the most impactful videos from you were the one about love languages, and the one about stories we make up vs reality . i still think about those a lot.
Congratulations to you both! I have watched you both grow together from the very beginning when your both first met and I find your channel so inspiring and really enjoy the positivity! I personally enjoy your 'day in the life' vlogs mostly where you are opening up and sharing your struggles, can't wait to see all your future content! ❤️☺️
I love you Raya - your channel is so comforting and therapeutic to me. I really love your venerability, and your journey with self love inspires me. I enjoy your vlogs that explore nutrition, sustainability, yoga and movement and conscious living. Basically everything that makes you who you are - your self development shines through in all your videos. I would love to see a book recommendations - especially self development/self help ones. Thank you so much for all you share xxx
The ring looks so beautiful . Like the tropical ocean 🏝. Stunning ! 💍
😍 thank you!! I love that connection! Definitely reminds me of nature, that’s why I love it so much
So so so excited for you both and where your channel is headed! 💜
Amazing. Awesome news - have you guys put out a link to the community, I’m so exciting by what you’re doing and want to learn more about his amazing community you have bought into. This is exactly my dream!!
YES!! Congratulations again on the engagement and with the new adventure of owning land! I just brought a house myself as a starter home and in hopes to learn more about land owning to then move upwards in more land with nature. Some day :) I love that you are continuing this channel with the vibe of womanhood, personal development, self-love, and more. You do you! Getting so inspired with what you've shared, and so happy to know I am not the only one when you share such similarities! Stay beautiful as always!

The community you’re going to live in was featured on Zac Efrons Netflix show about conservation. No wonder when I watched the engagement video it looked so familiar. Congrats on the engagement and new future home!

For video ideas, I would be really interested for you to talk about any books your currently reading or podcasts or advice that helps with your self love and self growth.
Congratulations Raya! You were one of the very first CZcamsrs I followed when I started my YT journey a few years ago. So happy for you & Louis! Excited to see all the wonderful adventures to come for you both. Here for you!!
I've followed you since the beginning and you have no idea how happy I am to see you engaged to Louis! Wohoo! Congratulations!

Yay congrats Raya & Louis! Have been watching you both since a few years back when you went to Bali with Josh, Cody, Angelique, Sawyer, and Laura! So excited for this next chapter in your life ❤️
Wow! Congratulations! You look extra beautiful in this video! So happy! Your vision for Cost Rica sounds magical. I've been trying to create something similar for myself and family for some years but, I'm a young mum of two, pregnant with baby #3 and it's not been possible yet. Good luck and love for your future! And your ring is GORGEOUS! One of the prettiest I've ever seen! I feel happy watching you so happy!

Amazing Raya, congratulations to you both - an exciting future is waiting for you xx
Beautifulllll ring! 😍
Thank you so much! ☺️
Hi! I've been following Louis ever since he started so you do feel like a big sister to me. I'm not sure if you're consciously into a mindfulness practice, but it does seem that a lot the time you manage to remain fully present and separate from your thoughts. If this resonates at all, then I'd love to hear you talk about it 🤗⚘🍀
Thank you Karishma! I would love to talk about that, thanks!
I'm so excited for y'all congrats. The ring is gorgeous.
Thank you!!
Congratulations to you both!
I'm soooo happy for you, Raya! You deserve all this!! xx

Just found you here on CZcams and wanted to ask if you will be posting more on Costa Rica soon, because my fiancé and I looking into selling our home in NJ and buying a land and also building house!! So really looking forward to more content from you about it! Our plan is to move next year if not this year!!
Yess will definitely be posting a lot more soon! ☺️

Get ready with me videos... hair routine... make up... shopping... home decor.. packing for a long vs short trip
Congratulations
Congrat again Raya and Louis 🙂❤️
Congratulations Louis & raya ❤️
Yes Raya! That's awesome. It'd be cool for self discovery and expression like talking about or trying out different things like astrology, finding your voice, dancing. Or even for self love care like spa stuff.
I'm so happy 😊 for you guys 🙂
oh welcome to Costa Rica =)
I have a question will you still do travel videos? bc those are my fav those are the videos I want doesn't have to be right now bc of covid but anytime In the future all different sorts of travel videos like what u pack etc
We saw Louie's Engagement Video
If you plan to host vlogs on the couples channel, I’d love to see more educational videos on manifestation and spirituality or favorites videos like favorite books, home items, etc. But that’s just me :)
Omg I'm excited to watch this unfolding train wreck! This is about to be a super huge life learning experience! (Not trolling but... a village of 300... in a foreign country...). Bring it on!
I like it 👌🏻
Like...
Im from Indonesia Papua
Emerald because you're always channeling Esmeralda 😁😍 green is so you, earthy...💚
Hey guys! You are super amazing! I'm one of those people who want to start a conscious community as well with lots of people.
If I were you in this situation, I would fly back to costa Rica asap. By a caravan or something, or have a bell tent or a smaller yurt, for living in it, and just start building.
I'm not sure if you need building permits on your land in costa Rica, hope you guys can just start your build whenever you ready.
I wish you creativity, and lots of JOY making your dreams happen :)
Hi Raya. I am just finishing watching all of your videos..this video being the last one (obvs lol - oh wait, obvs bcz as of feb 11, 2021 this the last video you uploaded, just for super clarification I don't know how this youtube works that well) ANYWAYS, I wanted firstly say, thank you for your videos. Thank you for your honesty and your authenticity and for sharing your journey on basically your life thus far. I've found a lot of my troubles with myself mentally and physically I faced that I could not put into words, at some point you were going through the exact same thing and were able to express it to the T. I found comfort in watching you verbally express almost identical thoughts that have been going on in my mind that I could not. And also showing me there is a different way to live life to that utmost potential. For 29 years now, I've travelled to many countries and experienced many different cultures..but always in this type of bubble. Or at least that's what I believe just because being a US citizen and able to speak different languages, etc.. ( OH I should add, I've done this all alone, single female, since I was 17). being an American, born and raised (Miami Beach, FL - not proud of it at all FYI at all) but I found the most connection in living in SA on a farm in Joberg where I was actually the happiest I've ever been. I try and take notes or I noticed I sporadically I journal events and when I cannot understand life and when I reflect back or read my journals from previous years I cannot seem to find a time where I was actually happy? (I know its also a thing where when you are really happy, most times you don't journal it - this is a total self-presentation of how I see it!) But yea, anyway, Im not too sure exactly why I am writing, and what I am writing this to you -ha- but viewing the communal life you've created and plan on continuing to create gave me a new perspective. I have never thought of communal living, like ever. I come from a very religious family ( I'm the black sheep of it, being the only one with tattoos and not married at 21) and always had a deep deep mindset that LOVE comes from one person and that is your person. Oh my god, this is a very long comment, anyways, sorry for this long, pretty much brain dump of what came to my mind after feeling like I know you (obvs only from what you show :) ) and also helping me open my eyes to other avenues. Hopefully, you read this far? If so, would your new land in Costa Rica, being a communal environment be open to new peeps? Thanks for all that you do.
❤️❤️
😍
Love You Guys! I've been watching since you guys met in New York. Congrats on the Engagement. PS. if you guys need a wedding DJ, I'd be happy to be your guys. I run a channel about DJ'ing weddings. It would be my honor to do yours.
Hey I love watching you and also the couples vlogs, but I really would like the nitty gritty details like on what basis can a US and a Brit live in Costa Rica. When Louis was living in LA does he have a green card? If so on what basis, when Louis & you drove to BGR how was the van insured? Louis is not a permanent resident in the U.K.? How do you get travel insurance with no fixed address? These are tough things to sort out I would love to know how. Where do you pay tax?
Holy cow 49 second ago, earliest I’ve been ever! Edit: Oh gosh can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the diamond scheme! Such an unethical industry. 🙄
Honesty, watching the ‘Adam ruins everything’ video on it changed everything for me!
@@RayaWasHere I knew you wouldn't like diamonds for that reason 😍
@RayaWasHere there’s a GREAT episode of Explained on Netflix about the whole thing too. 10/10 recommend.
I wanna tiny house there
This is such an exciting time in your life and can't wait to see what you do with this channel. Go girl!
Also, we look like we could be sisters lol
Congratulations on your marriage Raya and Louis!!!!❤️♥️💕💞💓🤵🏻👰🏻💑💏.
👍💞💖💞👍
Can you talk about body image and accepting yourself as a curvier woman in LA?
Raya, I am so happy for you and Louis and this journey y'all are about to begin. Last night while my husband and I ate our Valentine's Day dinner, we played this game called "Our Memories" couple edition. One of his cards he pulled was "Who is a relationship you admire?" I instantly blurted out "Raya and Louis!" I appreciate how raw the two of you have been in videos talking about your relationship. The way the two of you have learned to communicate with one another is amazing. I love your content and can't wait to see more of your self love journey.
Aw thank you!! This means so much to me. I’m honestly beyond excited right now about out couple’s channel and for us to have a place where we can fully open up about our relationship. Thank you for that! ❤️
Everything you build in life needs a foundation.
ArchieRKO
I feel like I’ve watched you become a woman over these years. Beautiful
Damn Louis and Raya have got engaged…
Don’t you mean you and Louis got engaged? You say “I got engaged” ...
Hi Raya! It would be great if you can talk about finances, how did you guys afford this land and how much did you pay for it ? It will be good know about revenues since both your CZcams channels doesn't seem to generate enough traffic to generate good money. So money management could be a good topic. Also if you can speak about why Americans and other privileged people are buying these lands on Costa Rica where nature still exists. I understand the talk about "environment friendly" but the fact is 300 humans living means so much pollution. How does it help nature when we humans keep overtaking nature (whatever is left of it)for our own benefits and fairy tale dreams.
