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” & became obsessed. 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 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. 😊🎥🌎

Kara I started cycling the week you were doing this adventure. I had to walk up hills to get back to my car, I was defeated. That day you posted a picture walking up a hill. I told myself “even Kara walks up hills” You inspired me to get back on and try again. Now I am loving it and riding the hills.

As a martial artist, I tell my students often, "Know the difference between pain and injury." Kara's experience is definitely one of those times you treat it as an injury and take time to heal... Love watching y'all's adventures!

[RachelFGoldfarb]

Omg Dusty saying the thing about Kara not needing to make up for anything was SO SWEET!!

[cosmogirl]

The shower scene had me crying from laughing so hard, best part of the video 🤣🤣🤣 I also love how supportive everyone in the group is with each other! Shows how genuine of human beings you all are and great friendship!

[paigelucas]

I’ve been a silent watcher for a few years now, but I just loved how everyone came together for Kara at the end. It definitely speaks to her character because you know she would do the same for anyone!
Also, the end with her crash had me crying laughing hahaha
Love you guys!!

[vickyk]

Kara, you throw yourself into everything with amazing enthusiasm. Being injured sucks, but you make an awesome support crew member! Allow your knee to heal and remember that no matter what happens, you have all your viewers behind you! x

[sajisama]

As somebody who often has knee inflammation (genetics), I have all the respect for Kara for pushing herself through those days. It can hurt so bad. Mad respect! Altho, we all know already that Kara is a badass!

[debramedina]

Kara, you are a warrior. Treat the injury to avoid knee surgery. Just being there for Nate and others, you can make more awesome memories. I’ve seen your videos, you are a trooper. Cheer the team on. What fun!!

[kitsunrise]

I love how supportive everyone was with Kara’s knee! ❤

[jimjefftube]

Ahhh Kara, not only are you "part of the team", you're an excellent co-captain with Nate and you're awesome completing a bike ride or supporting your teammates!! Way to go!

[ishitapaul]

Kara tried her best! Love the enthusiasm.
You both are so supportive of each other.

[peytonharris]

Kara, seeing you upset and beating yourself up broke my heart! You are such a strong and amazing woman! You’ve accomplished SO much and have really pushed your body. I’m so glad you have such an amazing support system literally pushing you through! This may be my favorite video. So many emotions. I am so proud of all of you! Great team work! <3 love you guys!

[kaitlin]

Sending absolutely lots of love to Kara (she’s incredible), but also let’s have some recognition for Nate! All that biking is not easy!! And of course he’s such an incredible partner to Kara, always being so kind and considerate ❤️❤️

[jonalainebermas]

I began sobbing while everyone's trying to push Kara. What a team. Definitely a squad goals. Congratulations guys 👏

[losavage_]

The “prison” shower for the guys was hilarious 😂 And Charlie making a surprise show up was so awesome🥳

[MerkMill]

Kara, as my mom always says “you only get one body” so I’m proud of you for listening to it!! Those knees of yours have to last you another 60 years!

[ashlynhoop]

You have the best of friends. The end of this video just made me so happy. Everyone pulling together to boost Kara up and finish together ❤

[charliseflinn]

Awww I love watching Nate being soo caring to kara it makes my heart melt 13:10

[ariannecollman]

Congratulations Kara, you overcame not only the pain, but your fear of holding the team back! Look how they helped you make it to the finish line. I always love watching your videos, because you two make such a good team. Love and Blessings to the whole crew who were with you on this adventure!

[kayliechambers]

I said it in the last video and I mean it, I know that you both probably have your frustrations and arguments like the rest of us married couples but the love and support between you both is a breath of fresh air, I know she edits these videos and the little clips of Nate hyping her up and telling her how proud he is which she sees after the excursion and just the fact that Kara is upset that she wasn't able to push herself. Two of the most genuine people I've seen through a screen 💙 much love
