Who are Kara and Nate?!
Watch our documentary here:    • 100th COUNTRY DOCUMENTARY  

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married 2013 and were super “normal.” I was a teacher and Nate started a small printing business from the spare bedroom of our apartment.

We discovered the world of “travel hacking” while planning our honeymoon & became addicted ;)

So after 2 years of obsessively saving $35k and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016 for a “one year” trip around the world.

Our goal was to see as many places as possible before we ran out of money and went back home to “normal life.” We started this channel to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with living on the road and found a new passion for capturing our travels through video. So we did everything we could to keep going.

4 years later, we achieved our new goal of visiting 100 countries and all 7 continents. We had no plans to slow down, until 2020 forced us to ;) Which is when we bought a converted van to start exploring our own country for the first time!

After ~2 years of van life, we are back to full time international traveling! And now we are in our 9TH YEAR of finding the best adventures the world has to offer :)

We are incredibly grateful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎 Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey!

  • I used to get coffee every morning for my wife, she’s been gone 3 years now, I miss doing it, I miss her. Seeing you do it for Kara is bitter sweet. I’d give anything to be able to do it again.
  • I love how as soon as Kara says "we've been on worse trains".... The speaker said otherwise 😂
  • I just took the Empire Builder from Portland to Havre, Montana to get some tacos. After tacos I got back on the west bound train and came home. I should have the video up next week.
  • @coreycook8607
    My favorite part of all of your adventures is how Nate always wakes up early and brings Kara coffee. Its so sweet to me. I love how adorable you guys are.
  • @MeghDonovan
    I've been saying "if it's gonna be cold, it may as well snow" for most of my life! There's just something special about it and it makes the lack of vegetation less grey and dreary! Happy to be validated by Kara thinking the same :)
  • Hi Kara & Nate ~ I haven’t watched the Vlog yet, but I thought I’d come on here and say hello – I live in a rehabilitation centre as I suffer with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis and lupus, I either bedbound or wheelchair bound ~ I did some travelling when I was younger Singapore and Australia also Spain and Greece, but some of the places you have been to I can only dream about – I love your vlogs as they are so informative and your content is great – sending loads of love and loads of hugs to you both ~ Xxx Xxx
  • Hi! I’m one of the gals that had supper with y’all! So glad I got to meet ya’s, you gained a new follower! Y’all are all round wonderful and humble people, love your videos 🫶🏻
  • The Illuminati moment at the pizza place in Chicago OBLITERATED MEEEEEE 😂💀💀💀
  • The giggles during the train tour had me laughing so much! Also Kara knocking the batteries that were charging into the sink is the most relatable moment!
  • Y'all chose the BEST Chicago pizza place....Lou's is life changing!!! I think Kara's idea of going back to Chicago and do a restaurant tour is brilliant. So much amazing food in Chicago and some cool history.
  • North Dakotan here! As a resident of Minot it was hilarious listening to you guys try to pronounce Minot. Its been an ugly winter of snows and melts but come summer, our state is actually quite beautiful. If you ever need another place to journey I recommend the Turtle Mountains up by Canada and the what we call the badlands near Teddy Roosevelt National Park. Love your channel so much you two are awesome. Glad North Dakota peaked some interest to someone finally lol 😂. Much love ❤
  • I think the funniest part of day one was that Nate said,” we ridding economy we’ll be ridding business in Canada” after Kara said “this is like a airplane meal”. 😂 Love y’all’s videos! Thanks for creating them hope yall had an amazing time on this trip can’t wait for the next videos to come out!
  • @ps4peace
    Minnesotan here - it's "my-not", ND. Fun to see you guys back in our neck of the woods & this time, no mosquitoes! ;-)
  • @YoVivBabe
    I just yelled up the stairs to the Hubs “KARA AND NATE JUST POSTED!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
  • @Skittl1321
    Oh man, now that you've gone to Minot you didn't manage the "save the best for last" challenge with your 50 states
  • @lilyrferge
    there is something so relaxing about the way nate says “goood morning”, just it being the same every morning, it’s so calming
  • YES! Kara please come back to Chicago! Between the food, architecture and cultural events you guys would have so much fun!
  • @Zz2424zxcvbnn
    No one else brings the class to first class traveling better than Kara and Nate! Love seeing this incredible duo happy and back in their element! Love you all and have fun!! ❤️
  • lol the way y’all said ‘Minot’ 😂 my dad is from ND so I learned from the best haha - love y’all! ❤️
  • @twylaklife
    North Dakotan here…Nate was right early on. It’s M-eye-not. As in, “Why not Minot?” Love that you experienced a moment of classic Midwest. 😂
