I know we’ve been quiet on here for the past couple of months, and I think it’s time we touch base.
Since Greece, we’ve been back in Vancouver - housesitting, working 9-5, saving money, and quietly getting ready for the next big adventure. Most people who’ve been with us for a while know this, but I also realize some of you might not: Nick and I aren’t full-time content creators. We work seasonally, which means we spend part of the year traveling and filming, and the other part of the year working “regular” jobs to fund it all.
We'd love to make content creation our full-time job at some point, but the reality is, we just haven't gotten there yet.
In our seasonal work era, I try to plan, film, and edit as many videos as I can, but the truth is… YouTube is a full-time job in itself. Between planning, filming, editing, and uploading, it can easily take 40+ hours a week - and that’s before factoring in travel day or, you know - actually living life.
That’s why this season, we’ve been focusing on offline life - connecting with family, meditating, and checking in with ourselves about whether we want to keep doing this next season.
You can always find us posting more regularly on Instagram and TikTok. If you want to see what we’re up to in real time, you can find us there at @nickandraychel (IG) and @notluxe (Tiktok).
We’ve got new destinations on the horizon, a couple of big projects in the works, and a long list of videos I’m excited to share - some from trips you’ve already seen, and some from places you’ve never seen us go before.
I will try to get a couple of videos up in the next month, but we will be back full-force in October.
Thanks for sticking around, for watching, for commenting, and for just being here.
This community makes all the late-night editing sessions, all the self doubt, and all the time spent worth it - & I can’t wait to bring you along for the next chapter.

Hi friends,
