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!

"I'm exhausted from feeling awkward." - most relatable thing ever said

Nate saying "canapés" gave me the laugh I needed today <3

My best friend and I did this in 2019 when I was moving from Vancouver (my hometown) to Toronto for university. Let me tell you, this trip looks very different if you do it on the cheapest possible ticket… 4 days of being crammed in a car with a dozen other people and 4 nights sleeping in what were essentially reclining airplane seats. Still one of my best travel experiences!

As a Canadian I am so proud that we got your stamp of approval. Great video ❤

[katbandit]

My kids and I have been waiting all week for this video. We are from Canada and we were all dying to know how this trip was!!

Nates genuine curiosity and thoughtfulness is unmatched. Kara's genuine kindness and appreciation for every moment and thoughtfulness is unmatched.

Kara, everyone deserves to be happy and loved! We all love your videos and love seeing your adventures, but it’s also so much better when you’re just loving life and enjoying yourself. That’s what we connect on. We may never travel to the places you visit and we may forget the fun facts you share, but we all watch to see the laughter and fun you and Nate have exploring the world. ❤

After starting from the very beginning of watching Kara and Nate from the very beginning, I can now say, I have caught up to the most recent! (Up until they publish another video after this one.) Boy what a ride its been! :)

I did that trip in 1969 when I was 12, but from the other direction. My dad got a job in Vancouver and we took the train from Toronto to Vancouver. In my brain the 3.5 day trip lasted approximately 76 years, especially since I had to share a small room with my older brother.

The fact that you were courteous to your fellow passengers that were eating opposite you, strengthens my already existing belief, that you are both good people. God bless and long may you travel. Thanks for letting us be part of your epic journey.

[Tedtopdawg]

[maymaygaming]

Kara pronouncing Toronto “torono” three minutes into the video is amazing😂 Already learning the Canadian ways

[RJSAMCRO]

Kara and Nate really make us feel like we are traveling the world right by their side. ♥

I JUST now finished watching the first leg of this journey in the US, and now I'm here for the Canadian train! I waited until now so I can binge! You have no idea how excited I am to see this episode! LOVE Kara and Nate train content, and Canada does everything right, so I imagine this is going to be epic! ❤ Here we go! Thanks you two!
