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. 😊🎥🌎

Frankie and Evie are the cutest and most outrageously cool kids I’ve ever seen! Love when they are in your videos!

Every time there’s a shot of you driving off, I can only think about how you’re circling back to grab the camera 😂 You two and your adventures are a pleasure to watch

Oh my word...that little girl at the end!!! Precious. As a school bus driver one of my favorite parts of the job is listening to the stories of little ones!! ❤️

I haven’t laughed this much in awhile. First the frozen pee funnel, Kara fighting with Siri over the timer and the plug for Eamon and Bec. Super cute.

The little girl at the end of the video talking about the underwear, necklaces and bras was EVERYTHING!!!! When Kara asked her why people did that it was absolutely ADORABLE that she said "so they look like Christmas trees". ❤❤❤❤❤

"You can put them there, or there, or there, or there, or #SooooCUTE

Loving these longer vlogs, they feel more like a story than ever before. Seeing the highs and lows and the in betweens of the "good stuff" has also been so refreshing and interesting to see!

The pee story has to have been the highlight of this video for me. Even if it's only because despite your huge success on YouTube, you still know how to keep it real! 🙏🙌 I also thought about how you had no shower either!!! Major respect!

You guys restore my faith in humanity! Your genuine kindness is so refreshing. I tell my husband that watching your videos is like watching that cute nana and pop-pop who are still together and happy at 90 - prequel. Love you guys, wish you happiness and safe travels everywhere you go! ❤️ NY

What wonderful friends you are to Eamon and Bec...just watched their video and they are blessed to have both of you as friends to advertise their book and being supportive while Bec is taking care of her health.

Kara is such naturally great with small talk with kids…And that cilantro song I can totally relate because I put it on every thing.

I came across Kara & Nate when they did the bike challenge and love their videos so on, recently I tested positive for you know what and the entire time for 7 days I watched all the old Kara & Nate travelling videos and man!!! This was awesome!! They are so amazing! I have so many more to watch! But you guys, this is your calling, clearly they were so much more Fun & engaging than the current van life! This where you guys belong! Your adventures, travel day videos, train journeys were so awesome! You guys were clearly more happy and even fitter while travelling! Urge y’all to restart, since things are almost back to normal please please got back to travel! That’s your real deal and what you guys excel at!

Kara saying "when I grow up..." made me chuckle. I hope you never grow up, Kara. Your youthful exuberance is what makes you both so special and keeps us all coming back.

Hahahaha this is what my husband would do:
Kara: *whispers* “Nate is on a business call”
Also Kara: this is the perfect time to make a meal and get out pots and pans 🤣
