Putting our life back together (aftermath of the bike trip)

The last 17 days were exhausting both for us AND for our van! In this episode we attempt to get our van back in order before making some major upgrades, and we give you a tour of Rick & Bec's van so you can see how a family of four comfortably lives in a sprinter van!

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the #travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this #travelvlog to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling! After achieving our new goal of 100 countries before 2020 and all 7 continents, we have no plans to slow down anytime soon, and we are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

Anyone else get a little sad when they realized it wasn’t another hour long vlogumentary?😂




Btw I love you guys so much and am NOT complaining at all, I’m super excited for your new adventures!!!!

[TheTravelingSwiss]

"your van is like a NYC apartment and ours is like a Colorado garage" you guys are too funny! Keep being you! You guys inspire me to keep traveling and creating every day!

Hey.. so Kara driving around for support to the bikers was actually a Kara-van.

[ebSimpson]

Definitely will miss Evie and Frankie’s commentary on “the dads!” 😩😭

[silvanguyen]

Kara! You don't get enough credit for what you do! The editing is fantastic! Your hardwork shows every video!

[sagarpradhan]

Rick, Beck, Evie and Frankie are such an adorable family, will be missing them all.

[lourdeswaite]

I am in awe of Dusty! He slept on the floor the entire time while doing this bike trip! Way to go Dusty. Love The little girls too!

[spiffokeen]

I love how Kara keeps using that clip of Nate almost shocking himself. I wonder how often she just says, “hey Nate... remember that time you tried to electrocute yourself?” 😆

[katherinejean]

i hope kara isn’t overly stressed because of the editing she has to do!! we love you kara ❤️❤️

[BrandyDawn]

In still watching, but I just have to say I’m so impressed. I was wondering where you guys would take this after the world was flipped upside down. You guys have never missed a beat, and have continued to create/push out amazing content. I’m so impressed and just adore you two. I’ve struggled these last several months, as many others too, but you guys never fail to distract me from this crazy world and ALWAYS inspire me and lift up my spirits with every video and I couldn’t be more thankful for that! So thank you, and great great job!!

The clip of Nate “fixing” the electric will never ever get old. Please keep adding it 😂

[healthandfitnesssolutions]

Rick's voice is superb. The Colorado trail was a treat to watch.

[audreyanolfo]

Who else is going to miss Evie and Frankie in the coming videos? 😭

[RetirementTravelers]

We've loved the junky van life over the past couple of weeks. Actually, we love watching the drawers fall out as Kara drives and eats snacks! It's all part of the journey! Happy Trails!

[oriordd]

Love how Nate is not great at DIY. Makes me feel better about my own past disasters. Watching Eamonn and Bec build their van made me feel like i should be able to do this stuff.

[hmbee]

I'm SO GLAD you're having a pro look at your electrical. From the clip it sounds like it's well worth it!!

[ryanlee]

You guys should have Rick and Beck in your videos more often. They are some great people.

[ChaseJones]

Nate’s brother looks like Nate in a disguise.

[SamSam-ybls]

The girls are utterly adorable! The spirit of adventure is strong in these two (ok...and mum and dad too!)

[talya]

Just wanted to say that I've been struggling a lot lately with my mental health and your videos are some of the only things that keep me going and looking forward to the future when Im able to travel like this. Been watching a ton of your old stuff too! Absolutely adore you both, thank you for the content.
