***TRAVEL VLOG 296***
Song by Andrew Applepie: Gitty Cat

WHO ARE KARA AND NATE?!
New here? We are full-time travel vloggers with a goal of visiting 100 countries before 2019. We make daily travel videos. In these videos you can expect to see the best foods and adventures of every country we visit. ;)

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel vloggers on YouTube, such as: +CaseyNeistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown , and any other talented travel vloggers that YouTube’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)

I like when you include the bad/depressing days of travelling because it happens to all of us and make your vlog more realistic and natural

I don't know if you read these comments so long after the fact, but I have spent most of my afternoon and evening catching up and I am so amazed at the enjoyment I am getting from watching your travels that it bothers me that you feel you have to apologize so much when there really isn't an apology to be made. For as great as your videos are, a few errors now and then is certainly acceptable.  I am amazed at how positive you remain when errors are made, what you do show us is definitely worth all your trouble so please don't feel you must apologize for mistakes. Thanks again for your hard work, stay safe and take care.

Sometimes the "bad" parts of trips turn out to be the parts you remember the most. Keep it up guys! Enjoy it.

[my_name_is_nat]

They are an amazing, humble, educated and kind young couple that enjoys and brings out the best of every trip. You guys make the bad and poor areas seem like the best places to travel and even stay too. Not like the average people that stay in a 3 to 5 star hotel and only gets to the poor areas by tours for a couple of hours you guys actually dare to stay in local Air B&B's, drive around, eat and interact with the locals no matter the area. Love you guys and of blessings every were you go to 🙏🙌😘

[lauraholliday]

my favourite thing about you guys is your relationship is so healthy! so many couples would blow up at each other after this kind of mistake.

I love how real this video is and shows how things sometimes don’t go the way you want! It may have been frustrating but it’s a great learning experience and a story you can laugh about later! You two inspire me to travel! Love your page!

Great middle seat strategy! I became a travel agent back in 1996 and was doing that for clients successfully:) Worst that could happen is that someone sits in the middle seat and then you ask them if they would like the window or aisle, i havent heard of one person yet that actually insisted in staying in the middle seat:)

[krmon]

I love going back and watching old episodes with my morning coffee!

[sbkpilot]

hehe, it's funny that you mentioned this... I had the same thing happen to me when I was in Valparaiso, some old lady paid for my bus fare into town and then proceeded to give me safety advice on where to go and not to go since it was late night and I had mentioned I was new in town. The Chileans are super nice people! :) btw, nice video... I traveled the other way from Bolivia to San Pedro de Atacama :)

[Dylanflys]

I really appreciate the real ness of the videos and began to wonder almost hoping that I would see the days when everything doesn’t go as planned because it reminds us that everyone has struggled and everything shouldn’t always be perfect. love the channel content// - Dylan from Austin Tx

[scarletfluerr]

I have to agree with JC Bailey, it's days like these that show us armchair Travelers but things don't always work out the way you planned. but you two are handling it with grace and patience, and that's all you can do. Mistakes happen, we learn and move on. I have been binge-watching your videos now for several days and frequently I find myself just grinning at the screen watching all the wonderful things that you watch.

[bobnease]

Amazing how much better sandwiches are when they're TRIANGLES. : )

[catrionaohalloran]

Congrats on 30k!! I look forward to these vlogs everyday, ye never fail to make me smile, keep up the great work!

[terrybaker]

keeping myself busy by binge watching Kara and Nate's vlogs

[Glenacus]

with all the good experiences and wonderful people you both have encountered, this should be a reminder of how quickly things can change and where this was just an inconvenience, you could just as easily get robbed. Keep your head on a swivel! glad it worked out

[Hillbillyhotcouple]

I am a newer fan and simply love your videos. You both are so real and genuine. Our family loves travel and we enjoy watching your adventures. You make it possible for us to see real places and events that the travel shows on TV would never show....thanks for the videos they really mean a lot to us!

[Jessicaisrealawesome]

Highly satisfying clicking sequence at the start.

[Runner]

Don't be so hard on yourself Nate! Travel is all about the learning experiences and the bumps in the road. I remember when we took the train from Chiang Mai to Bangkok, and I ended up on the older train rather than the new one because I didn't book in advance. Let's just say we had little "friends" in our first class cabin with us. Think of it as an adventure!!

[Lisakaylindsay]

Catching up on your videos since I only discovered you guys not too long ago. You both are such considerate people, trying to make the best of the situation always. So fun catching up on all your travels and seeing how you both have grown.

[CupofTJ]
