The Ugly Truth Behind being a Digital Nomad

Anyone been a digital nomad? 🧐👇

More videos like this…This is my favorite you’ve ever uploaded. 😮

Sharing this masterpiece just goes to show how next level you are. You hold yourself differently 5 years later and edit like no one else. I love your ability to relate to someone watching you without it feeling like you're trying to relate to the entire internet. I'm a forever friend and supporter of your journey as an amazing person - thank you Groundlings :)

I mean this to be encouraging... in the early videos you had your hair all colored and perfect makeup. Your current look is so much more natural, freer. Almost represents your journey from 'outer perfection ' to inner acceptance/joy. Seems like you let your soul shine thru. Blessings xxx

Super excited for this new chapter in your life! Looking forward to seeing more lifestyle vlogs 💚

GREAT VIDEO. Such an engaging and creative way of telling the story of a journey that I know all too well.

That was really interesting, thanks for sharing!

This was so good, I had to watch it twice. I’ve been a digital nomad for a year and I’m exhausted! I can’t imagine doing it for 5. Looking to finally settle down in Richmond. This helped me feel a little less alone. Thanks for the content.

Just want to say I love you and your attitude and your ability to convey your stories. As someone who struggles with complex mental health “issues” I really appreciate you. I recently found you via info I was looking into for my trip to Paris. Thanks for all you do, I hope you continue. I’m so happy for your new home base! You guys have a really special life and a lovely connection. Keep it up 💜

Lauren, thank you for your vulnerability in this video. I always say that a content creator’s job is to make their content look effortless; ironically an enormous amount of invisible effort goes into doing that. Most people have no idea about the behind the scenes quiet, lonely, hunched-over-a-computer-for-hours life of a content creator. We have a lot in common as I am also a former actor, now content creator who lives on the east coast! It was definitely difficult to face “giving up” on a lifelong dream, but I also find creating my own content so incredibly rewarding and empowering (despite the challenging “results-oriented” nature, etc). I can tell you put so much time into this video and it came out beautifully. Can’t wait for your future videos!

Hey Lauren, Great video! My dude and I just finished 9 months of digital nomading and we’re exhausted! Can’t believe you did that for 5 years. Now we’re looking for where to move in the US and your Richmond videos are super helpful ❤

Would love more videos like this! Thanks for sharing- super relatable. :) And congrats on finding a home base! I bet it feels amazing. :D

Finally watching your stuff here, and this video just cements why I was so drawn to you when we 'met' on instagram. I instantly loved your personality, the things you were sharing and how you were sharing them. Hearing more of your story makes me feel like we were destined to cross each others' paths (even tho our stories and paths were very different). I can't wait to watch and learn more and hopefully get to hang out again in the process! Thanks for sharing all of you. 💟💟

Thanks for sharing more personal thoughts! Have fun in this new chapter of your life :)

This is probably my favourite Lauren Z Ray video ever! It's so real and authentic - love it!!

I just discovered your channel and I love it. It’s thoughtful, informative, and beautifully executed. Best of luck to the both of you.

Great video collage of the past 5 years!

This is so good Lauren ❤ authentic

Some great points in this video, didn't expect to be able to relate too much but I'm really seeing what you mean

I loved every second of this video and every aspect of it. You shared so many important learnings and I truly appreciate and admire your openness and vulnerability. Also, I’m SO happy and excited for you and Lukas, and for your new adventure and your new home. This video is a masterpiece❤️
