We Traveled to All 7 Wonders of the World

We were SO fortunate to have the once in a lifetime experience of going inside the Christ the Redeemer statue!! *We were asked to share that this is NOT an experience that tourists can book or pay for...* We just got really lucky, and we don't want to cause any trouble for the nice people who made this possible for us. So please do not reach out to them asking to go inside the statue :)

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 travel vlog 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 traveling! And now we are 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 love how confidently Nate is vlogging on the plane while there is a line behind him..lmao I could never!

[kennethcutter]

I know many of us have said this to you over the last 7 years, but here it goes again. Thank you for allowing us to share with you experiences we would never have and never be able to see. Yes, many of us do dream of being able to do one of these things, but to live it through your cameras makes us feel we are there with you. Thank you

[muskaansoni]

I don't think it gets said enough, there is literally no better travel channel than this. YOU GUYS ARE SO SWEET. I'm doing my first 2 European countries this July and I'm so excited and inhaling your old videos. So so much love and gratitude for you guys 💓

PS also Indian. Lived there 23 years, not once have I been to Taj Mahal. Gonna go back home and do that!

[eloatavaresg.]

Being born and raised in Rio makes me feel so proud of my city and my country. I literally wake up every day with this amazing view and take this huuuuge bridge to go to the university. I just love being carioca so much it makes my heart happy. So happy that you're enjoying as much as I do!

[nerissaglasscock]

I keep watching because Kara's enthusiasm just never dies, even after 7 continuous years of travel. It brings me great joy.

[clm]

I just realized after watching you both in countless videos something new. You both are amazing storytellers. Besides loving both of you and living vicariously through you, it just hit me on how great you both tell a story. I have learned so much from watching your channel, but it really has to do with the delivery of your content. Keep it up. I hope you both never tire of telling a beautiful story. ❤

[diprorahman]

I have to say, Kara and Nate's storytelling ability has really improved over the years and it has evolved so it never feels mundane. Thank you for taking us along all these cool experiences.

[laurenszymarek]

I didn’t know I could be afraid of heights from the comfort of my own bed. My heart was POUNDING in fear even though I knew nothing crazy was going to happen. Amazing job completing the 7 wonders, you are one of very few people to accomplish that. What an amazing achievement ❤

[juancrespo]

As someone who has been to Machu Picchu 3 times now, you experienced the typical weather that most guide books don't mention 😅. Last time I went (Oct. 2022) it was sunny and I made sure to take ALL the pictures since it's so rare. My family in Lima couldn't believe how lucky we were.

[New-Inferness-Productions]

Only a handful of people can see all seven wonders of the world and you are bringing the joy to all of us by sharing this. Thank you. 0:05

[margot]

I follow you from the beginning, as a Brazilian I was always SAD that you never came here, it seemed like you didn't want to come ... Glad that wasn't it!
I LOVE you so much, you two are amazing human being! And Brazilians who understand English and watch your videos sure love you too!
PS: Our native language is Portuguese not Spanish, we say "Obrigado" not "Gracias" 🥰

[jackiegunter]

Kara and Nate, the 2 of you are amazing. Never have I heard of anyone being able to go inside let alone climb the Christ the Redeemer statue. Y'all are so lucky. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[tiffanychallacombe]

My hands havent been this sweaty since you guys scalled that huge mountain with the ladder that was in the air lol. Congrats guys this is such an acomplishment :) Thanks for sharing!

[CanalDoJoshua]

Ok, I’m still going to watch the video. But I have to say, I’m so excited that you guys finally visited my country! And you went to one of my favorite cities in the world… Hope you guys enjoyed us enough to come back many times. Blessings to you guys!

[vitorfranca]

You guys finally came to Brazil 🇧🇷. Hope you come back to explore more of Brazil’s culture (I bet you’ll love it). Been a fan of you guys for a while now, hope to see you in São Paulo or around the world someday! Amazing video as always! 💖💖

[annavoytenko]

Remembering to saying Thank You to their viewers every time in the video is what makes Kara&Nate very appealing and worth sticking around the channel for many years. Thank you from a huge, long-time, binge-watched-100 countries fan! 🧡 Love and light to you!

[FireCracker-vdpq]

This is unreal. So glad you got to experience these incredible wonders. And even more gratitude from me for taking us along for the journey! Many of us may never got to see them in person, so this means so much. Plus, I always love your wonderful sweet and fun personalities. Love to you both! ❤🥰🤗

[natanibarcarolo]

YES!As a Brazilian I've been waiting for this 🙌 Glad you guys enjoyed your trip, Best whishes from Brazil. Come back any time, it's a big country, there's a lot for you guys to see.

[raybansrralestate]
