Apologies, my friends! I thought I would have our final Mexico video completed by today, but with the amount of traveling and filming we've been doing, I've been too exhausted to edit at night! I'm hoping to get that video finished by next Saturday. We are currently in our 25th country (halfway done with our 50 country goal), and if you want to see updates on where we are, check out our Instagram stories (@chadandclaire). I'll be posting on there for the next three weeks! (Hint: We're somewhere in Europe!)

WE FINALLY HAVE A NEW T-SHIRT! 😱
After selling out of both our first and second t-shirt releases back in 2020 and 2021, our shop has been out of t-shirts for far too long! At the beginning of 2024, we finally sat down with a local designer and screen-printer to create a shirt we’re greatly proud of. We present to you…the DARE TO TRAVEL t-shirt! 👕 (Read all about the meaning on the website!)
✨ All the important info! ✨
🗺 Every single shirt was screen-printed by hand, so each shirt is slightly different due to the human touch! If you decide to take a shirt home, know that it went through the hands of a local, woman-owned print shop in our hometown, before it went through Claire’s hands, as she carefully folded every shirt (using whatever muscle memory she had left from growing up with parents who owned a laundromat business haha).
🥾 Any shirts or orders from our shop will ship out immediately, if purchased before April 23! Once we head out for our next trip, which will take place from April 23 to May 10, we will ship out any other orders right when we get back. We apologize for the wait, as we ship out all orders ourselves rather than through a collaborating company!
🌼 Once these shirts sell out, they’re out for good! So, if you’re interested, we would recommend you getting a shirt sooner than later.
🧳 We are currently offering FREE shipping on all USA orders over $50, so if you plan on purchasing the shirt, add a few more of Claire’s handmade goods to the cart, and shipping’s on us! Just use the code SHIPITFREE at checkout!
🌷 We offer the shirts in S, M, L, and XL. They are all unisex and pre-washed, so shrinking shouldn’t be too much of a problem. We offer a sizing chart on the last image to help you choose the size that would fit you best!
🌲 The price for each shirt is $29.99, and the new 3-piece, waterproof DARE TO TRAVEL sticker pack is $8.00!

Let us know if you have any questions! 💗
As always, we want to say a really big thank you to everyone who has supported our shop over the last few years. Claire started our shop all the way back in 2020, when we lived in our tiny van. She had some extra time in the evenings to make little rainbow ornaments and paintings, because what else is there to do in a tiny van at 9:00 PM when you have no service haha. Since then, we have received so much love and support, and we’ve somehow sold over 1,700 items from our shop, most of them being handmade works of art. That number absolutely blows our minds!
Our little shop is something we love doing, and we’re only able to continue doing it because of YOU. So, thank you for supporting not only our travel videos and content, but also our creative endeavors! 😁

Hey YouTube family,
Today, we were supposed to be uploading our Taiwanese Street Food Tour video, but due to a string of unexpected and unfortunate events, we won’t be able to get that video out until NEXT Saturday. We apologize for making you all wait so long for a video, but situations have been extremely challenging and difficult, behind-the-scenes. It’s been the hardest month of both of our lives, and let’s just say, nothing (and we literally mean *nothing*) went as planned. Life has been throwing us every curveball possible, but we’re clinging on to hope and trying our best to stay positive through the rainy days. We promise you that our travel videos will come out soon! We’ve just needed a moment to take care of our health and to be there for family in a tremendous time of need. We appreciate your constant support and understanding despite the lack of content over the last two months. Wishing you all good health and unforgettable moments with loved ones. 🤍🤍🤍

My annual holiday art drop has officially been released to our site! Check it out if you're interested in seeing what I've been making from the little fold-up table in my home work studio. As always, my pieces are completely handmade by me and inspired by our travels around the world. I strive to create affordable art pieces, because I used to want to buy original artwork, but could never afford it. Most of the pieces in this art drop are $10-$30 for original, one-of-one pieces! Lastly, I want to say a really big thank you in advance to all of those who have supported my artistic endeavors and who have found enough value in my pieces to take them home. It means the whole world to me!

Wishing everyone a very warm and bright holiday season, and if you do choose to purchase anything, thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my small art business this year! :)
<3, Claire

Greetings, YouTube family! Ever since the start of this year, I’ve been making travel-inspired art pieces every time I’ve returned home from a big trip, and you all have shown the utmost support every single time. All the previous art drops have sold out, and it has given me the confidence and motivation to keep the artwork coming, so I want to say a GINORMOUS thank you for cheering my creativity on. 🤍🤍🤍
First of all, big announcement— we now ship to CANADA!!! 🇨🇦 We are slowly working towards having complete international shipping, so bear with us as we continue to get that sorted. Until then, dear Canadians, have a field day in my shop haha.
Today, I’ve released a collection of pieces inspired by the U.S. woodlands!!! 🌲 In my art shop, you’ll find a hand-painted artisanal checkerboard set, some whimsical fairy ornaments, a Victorian birdhouse, and some fragrant red cedar pouches, amongst other things. 🧺

My little shop has slowly become one of our main revenue streams (!!!!!) this year, and that is all thanks to YOU. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for giving me my dream job, where I can pour my creative ideas, not only into filmmaking, but into making physical treasures that can be transported straight to your doorstep. 📬
Wishing you the most joyous Thanksgiving (if you’re in the States), and a fantastic week as we slowly finish up November! 🍂

Hello, YouTube family! Claire here! 🤍 As you may or may not know, before I discovered my current passion for video editing, I was a devoted illustrator and fibers artist. Before we hit the road, you could always count on me creating things with my hands, and even now, when we return home, I’m making fun treasures for my little art shop, whenever I’m not editing our videos. Today, I’ve released a MASSIVE drop of travel-inspired artwork, and this time, it’s inspired by FRANCE 🇫🇷, ITALY 🇮🇹, and ICELAND 🇮🇸!!! In our shop, you’ll find original paintings of Italy landscapes, sheep wool dryer balls, Provencal lavender pouches, Nordic gnome ornaments, and SO MUCH MORE! I was up until 3 AM last night, writing the stories behind each piece, so if you’d simply just want to browse my “online art show” (hahaha), please do! ❣️

I hope you enjoyed yesterday's van life video! 🚐 Starting to edit the next one today!
Sending you sweet wishes for a magical weekend,
Claire ✨

Another travel art series by yours truly, and this time, it's GREECE! Three framed, original paintings are now live on our website. Check them out, if you please: chadandclaire.com/shop
Here is the inspiration behind this series--
As we slowly approached each Greek island, I could see a bright stagger of white buildings on land, looking almost like white chalk scribbled onto cliffs and hilltops from afar. Up close, they are simple, but charming— the perfect amount of nothing. Soft curves and smooth walls reveal archways and staircases that make you feel as if you’re walking amongst a minimalistic village.
“Greek Summer” captures three Cycladic buildings in a minimalistic manner, featuring the stunning stonework and vibrant Mediterranean sun of the Greek islands. It expresses the laidback and relaxed culture— the stress-free feelings of “morning swim,” “afternoon nap,” and “no rush.” Dream of easy days with a hand-painted piece from “Greek Summer.”
I always get so excited to return home to make these travel-inspired series. Hope you all enjoy them as well. Thank you so much for all the love on our Greece video series. We have a HUGE two-month trip planned to FIVE countries, coming this summer!
Happy Sunday, everyone!
Claire (and Chad)
