Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” and taking more trips together and finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and travel hacking over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left January 10, 2016. We started this YouTube channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling. So we extended our 1 year trip to THREE years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before Nate turns 30 (which is March 20, 2019)! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

people of myanmar are so beautiful both inside and out....love from Nepal!!

The Myanmar series is probably the most uplifting you guys have done. Thank you. Buddhists meditate on the feeling of loving kindness. Myanmar is a nation that is dominantly Theravada Buddhist (so am I). I am so moved by the genuine happiness and innocence of these people, and I think the Buddha's teachings had a lot to do with it. The rest of the world has much to learn about the real meaning of life from these beautiful folks. Have you ever seen kids that are so happy and fearless? People who are completely and authentically humble and quick to show their happiness and contentment? Even though they are Buddhists, they exemplify everything that Jesus taught about how to live. Western civilization could use a serious lesson about what is really important, and it isn't money, power and wealth! I wonder if Kara and Nate got a life-changing lesson from their brief experience there. Excellent and important blogging you guys! Kara (and Nate, too), bless you for feeling the all the positive energy with your open heart. You just met people who live as we were meant to live, IMHO. There is a profound lesson we all should learn from the people of Myanmar.

You two are the greatest goodwill ambassadors!! The people you are visiting brighten your day, but I think your humble presence and interactions really add joy to their day too! I am always looking forward to your next vlog!

I just love the Myanmar series because it shows the simplicity of the country and the people's lives. Great video!! :)

[LisaPreece]

If I went to all these places, I think I'd want to give all the locals so much! They are so sweet and a small amount of money must go so far for them

[FireCracker]

This is amazing. Those people were just so wonderful and lovely. Between the hilarious pottery maker lady who threw shade at Nate, to the lovely old gal who sold Kara that mini paddle, I just love this place and it's people.

It literally broke my heart that the grandparents spent $6, 000, their life savings, on this little party that would likely cost us Westerners just a few hundred dollars. Seeing things like this always puts the things we take for granted into a more realistic perspective. ❤

[FireCracker]

Also, that is the cutest, happiest, smiliest pig I've ever seen. ❤❤

[AnneEWilliamson]

Kara's just so adorable! She's a like a kid in a candy store, getting excited about everything. Though I can't blame her. I do that pretty much every time I travel anywhere new!

[mashpotatoes]

This vlog brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing your experience with this beautiful community. While many may feel anger that you are visiting a country with such a horrific government what many seem to fail to get is how Western Capatalism profits from the traditional artisans. One dollar for a pot that is sold for well over 200 in the USA is outrageous, saddening and beyond comprehension. The people are not their government. Thank you again - you two are so genuine and so amazing.

[mishaelaelaeheh]

That old lady has the most adorable smile! So precious!

Thank you guys for showing how these people lived and how kind they are to the world. It just making me so happy to see this vlogs about my country and make me want to go back. <3

[Andrew_J_Parnell]

Isn't great to go somewhere and be basically the only tourists in town? Well done to show the real people and their way of life. Back in the 1990s, we were in a country similar then to what is Myanmar is now and we also bought a souvenir that came with recycled newspaper made in a carry bag like you did. over twenty years later we still have the carry bag as the souvenir.

One of my favourites places y'all have visited is Myanmar. The cruise is so good. The people are so sweet and the kids are so cute ❤️❤️❤️

[raguspug]

Thank you so much for showing this to us. It made me so emotional to see the lovely people there living their life and being happy.

[myomyo]

People who never been to Myanmar may have negative senses about our people but I believe that you will absolutely see honesty, friendly, kindness and innocent smiles of our burmese people if you have visited.
Thanks you Kara & Nate for this amazing video

[koduu]

Mum is too kind and happiest in her world….

[justinamelody]

You guys go places that no one even would go. Very cute village and the people are so sweet.

[AndySwede]

Who was surprised when Kara suddenly appeared on stage? Well. Not me....LOL
