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 business from the spare bedroom of our apartment. We discovered the world of “travel hacking” & became obsessed. So after 2 years of 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 rean out of money and went home to normal life. We started this travel vlog to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with this lifestyle and 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. Van life was a major adjustment and so different than flying every week like we were used to, but we are incredibly thankful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎

The fact that your pops runs a mile every day is beyond impressive.

Your Pop is a legend, still doing his running at 86, wow! Also, can we mention how Nate is just the younger resemblance of his Dad?

This is part of that “not fitting into one category” that make your videos great! It makes you all real and that’s what people love. Keep doing what y’all are doing

[lunaandstella]

Seeing Nate with his grandpa makes me understand Nates love for challenges and activity so much better. He’s definetly a chip of the old block.

HOW DO YOU TIE YOUR SHOES?! Like Pop or Nate? 🐰

Also, what do y’all think of a van swap video with Pop once he’s done renovating?!🥰 We loved getting to spend the day with Pop and a Mammaw and hope we were able to capture a glimpse of how special they really are ❤️ Thank y’all for watching!

Grandpa knowing exactly how grandma ties her shoes is the ultimate definition of true, deep, all encompassing love. I literally choked up.

I’m sitting here at work trying to work and literally couldn’t look away from this video. My cheeks hurt from smiling. Loved watching from beginning to end! Great content and such a sweet memory!

I can't believe Nate's grandpa is still running at 86 years old!! He's amazing! Wow...

[yarnandpets]

The first time I watched this, I missed the fact that he actually went to New York after 9/11 to help feed people. And just mentions it like it’s no big deal. Such an incredible person 💙

[DrCellini]

This is the most wholesome video of all time. Mamaww and Pops are adorable.

[elaine]

Your grandpa is the sweetest guy ever. I laughed so hard at your aunt's wedding experience. Thank you for sharing!

“I’m not sure that the Quaker company knows this.”

This might be our favorite video y’all have ever made. Such a joy to watch and a well told story.

[peytonharris]

I’m so glad y’all made this video. Grandparents are SO precious and this just makes my soul smile. I wish I could hug them both! Pop really loves that van and I really hope he gets to take it to all the Tennessee national parks! Can’t wait to hear about to duo camping trip!

[theathjr]

I had so many happy tears watching this. They don’t call them the greatest generation for nothing. Thanks for sharing your Pop & Mammah

[paulapleasant]

This has made my heart so happy this morning. Folks like Nate’s grandparents truly are The Greatest Generation. Can’t wait for the joint road trip!

[DF-ugmz]

Wow, Nate’s grandfather is such an inspiration!!! He’s so lively and with it for that age, work it!

I'm going through a tough time right now with my 82-year-old stepdad having just had a stroke. Your videos are such a bright spot for me. It's such an amazing treasure that your grandad is so active and healthy at 86. I adore your sweet family, and love every single one of your videos. Thank you for sharing your sweet world with us! Hug your grandparents tight for me!
