  • I can’t believe how much we’ve changed and grown and learned since we met 6 years ago. I’ve spent most of my 20s with you by my side, and I can’t wait to see what kind of wild adventures are waiting for us in the future. ⁣ ⁣ 📍 Ancestral lands of the Serrano, Cahuilla, Chemehuevi, and Mojave tribes ⁣ ____________________⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Tags: #notluxe #nickandraychel #vanlife #joshuatree #travelcouples #adventurewithme #instatravel #getoutstayout
  • Our poor little van was getting real damp and sad living in the wet ass PNW for the past couple of years. We are not the only ones happy to finally be drying out in the desert. 🚑 ⁣ ⁣ 📍 Ancestral lands of the Serrano, Cahuilla, Chemehuevi, and Mojave tribes ⁣ ____________________⁣ ⁣ Tags: #notluxe #nickandraychel #joshuatree #joshuatreenationalpark #vanlifediaries #travelgram #explorecalifornia #roadtrip #vanliferoadtrip
  • What do you do on long drives? ⁣ ⁣ I mean, “drive” is the obvious answer. But do you talk to your partner? Blast music? Listen to a podcast? Sit in silence? We sometimes find it challenging to document our long drives since we often don’t really talk to each other, we just sit in silence or blast our playlists. ⁣ ⁣ I love those moments in our relationship, the ones where we’re not talking, just enjoying each other’s company, sitting in our little home, in the safe comfortability that we’ve built for ourselves, if even just for a few hours. ⁣ ⁣ Because sometimes, we live very fast. But sometimes we live extra slow. And flow is so nice to explore. ⁣ ⁣ 📍Traditional Chumash land ⁣ ____________________⁣ ⁣ Tags: #nickandraychel #notluxe #hellofrom #malibubeaches #elmatador #travelcalifornia #malibu #californiabeaches #travelinspo #livetoexplore #californiastateparks #vanlife #vanlifediaries

  • Launched 🚀 After many years of considering merch, we are so excited to introduce our newest crewnecks, hoodies, beanies & totes available for purchase. We wanted a simple design that we’d be stoked to wear that would tie into our minimalistic ‘not luxe’ wardrobes and approach. Since starting our original YouTube channel, Not Luxe, in 2018 and our travel blog by the same name ins 2019, we have vowed to keep true to our simple mission to learn how to see the world on a budget & to share our learnings with you. The Gas Fund Collection is a fun project we’ve been working on, and a way that you can support us on the road & get something tangible in return. Find the whole collection at the link in our bio. If you want 10% off of your purchase, subscribe to our Patreon (yes, we launched one of those too) for a discount link. On top of merchandise discounts, Patreon perks include cut footage/bloopers, BTS photos, a monthly livestream, and other fun things that you can find at the link in our bio. Thank you to everyone, especially the Day 1s who have been with us on this journey, even though it ain’t luxe. Much love!!!!! ❤️
  • We filmed soooooo much in LA, it’s been tricky catching up on all of the footage but we just couldn’t seem to put the camera down. This is the exact opposite problem we were having a few months ago, where managing to get enough footage on the weekends between work weeks felt like a challenge and our to-do lists felt endless. ⁣ ⁣ I like that we’ve been able to experience the ebbs & flows of life, van life, money, YouTube, whatever. Literally no one’s life is 100% consistent, but a few years ago we dove head first into an inconsistent lifestyle - and we wouldn’t change it for anything else. ⁣ ⁣ 📍Traditional Chumash land ⁣ ____________________⁣ ⁣ Tags: #nickandraychel #notluxe #malibubeaches #elmatador #losangeles #explorepage #exploretocreate #travelcalifornia ⁣
