Who are Kara and Nate?!

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!

My husband and I started van camping in 1974 with our two small children. For nine winters we went to Mexico, took seven years off while the kids were in high school, and just the two of us returned to Mexico again for the winter in 1991. Our van had a standing Coleman ice chest we built in, and a Coleman stove. Water was in jugs, and our porta potty was yogurt containers. Every winter we traveled all over Mexico and Guatemala and in 2004 we got a small traveler trailer because at 60 I wanted a bathroom. Our last trailer was a 23 foot and we ended up just staying the winter in one place in Mexico instead of traveling all around. We missed the convience of going places in the van, but enjoyed the life we had with friends we met there each year. March 2020 was our last trip, but we have wonderful Memories of almost forty years of traveling.

I bought my LTi because of your first ER video, Spent 7 months in it. 3 months in Alaska, 2 months in Canada, 2 months in the US Rockies. In our first month in the LTi we ordered the SX. We will pick it up in May and plan to spend five years traveling throughout North, Central, and South America. Thanks for the inspirational videos. We have done many things you have and you help us build our bucket list.

I feel like for 1.1 million dollars I could have a company pave the road you took and build a decent family cabin and still pocket 400k

25:56 Kara running past Nate screaming ‘let’s go’ is the funniest thing EVER🤣🤣🤣🤣

The highlight of my weekend is watching your videos, and last week while watching my 6 year old neice, I found out it is the highlight of her weekends as well! I didn't even know she started watching your videos, I have been watching since 2019! 💕

[mychurch]

That was the longest commercial we have ever watched.

kara, * tip to your honey mustard from a NY PRIVATE CHEF.... If you like honey mustard from any restaurant or store... Always as a tablespoon of mayonnaise and a pinch of pepper! 👍🏻👍🏻

[haha_darnit]

the fact that KARA wanted to do the cold plunge says a lot haha I love y’all’s dynamic so so much

[gl]

I love how people say Military grade is a great thing. Military equipment is the item that is made the cheapest for the need...lol.

[NewHorizonsTravel]

The team did a fantastic job, and it was truly impressive. It's great to see Kara stepping out of her comfort zone. Let's continue to find joy in these experiences❤

[AllGoodThings]

Kara looks well rested. Her energy is in this video is bombastic. So glad her and Nate prioritize their personal lives now.

[lovelouisxoxo]

This might be one of my favorite videos. The absolute joy on Nate’s face when you were skiing matched Kara’s joy in doing the cold water plunge. The earthroamer is a dream❤ You guys are so lucky!

[danielschear]

You sold me at, "I JUST SCRAPED A SPINE BONE!"🤣🤣🤣

Дуже гарний будинок на колесах. Дякую за огляд.

[FireCracker]

What a beautiful backdrop to highlight that amazing EarthRoamer! Since that's something I'll never get to own, I love living vicariously through you two. Even now, 7 years after first finding your channel, your content still entertains me, informs me and inspires me. I truly love you guys so much! ❤❤

Currently sitting in an Earthromer in the snow watching an Earthromer in the snow, Awsome. 😊

[This-n-That]

It's finally great to see a video of earthroamer winter camping. Especially the sx. Outstanding. I really want to more videos of ALL earthroamer says it can do.
Great video!!

[chaydium]

I would have liked to hear more about the truck itself - engine size, 4wd system, etc.

[dmaextraordinaire]

With all of the upheaval in today’s world, these videos never failed to delight and bring a smile. Thanks so much for your content, it is appreciated more than can be expressed.

Kara I think the one thing you need is an Ember mug. It’s one of those things that seems ridiculous until you have one. Keeps your coffee at the prefect temperature ❤️
