Who are Kara and Nate?!

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married 2013 and were super βnormal.β I was a teacher and Nate started a small printing business from the spare bedroom of our apartment.
We discovered the world of βtravel hackingβ while planning our honeymoon & became addicted π
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 βone yearβ 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 βnormal life.β 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 π 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 10TH YEAR of finding the best adventures the world has to offer π
We are incredibly grateful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. ππ₯π Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey!
00:00 Happy new year!

Iβm here for all the Kara & Nate content! No matter what that looks like π
Kara and Nate, I would watch any kind of content you decided to put up. The travel is awesome, but YOU guys are what makes me excited to watch. Looking forward to 2025 content (no matter what it is)! Enjoy your break!
I'm glad you will still be a travel channel, as I'm not usually interested in your sport/fitness/running videos. I'm glad you won't turn into a family channel, because many of these channels exploit their children without their consent.
Kara still trying to show toe content is hilarious!! ππ May 2025 bring health, joy and abundance for you both!
the BEST video you guys have ever made is the polar bear video!!!!
No matter where your life goes, weβre not going anywhere!! So happy for you guys β₯οΈβ₯οΈ
Please finish your goal of going to all 50 states in the united states of America β€β€β€
I love the series videos! Oh how about wild horses?
OMG IM SO HAPPY FOR U KARA AND NATE
Muskox on dovrefjell in norway! It is an amazing wildlife experience, and there are tuns of other wildlife on the mountain. Really recommend!
ππ½
So excited for you guys, your plans, upcoming videos and the future of your channel!! πβ€
Swim with the whale sharks in Cebu, Philippines then go on a honeymoon in Siargao
Sorry to use the Comments section for a question, I trust Kara and Nate to promote things but cannot remember if they've ever recommended a particular VPN? I want to go by their recommendations/sponsors. Thanks anyone
You two are the people who got me into watching vlogs. There is very little you could do that would make me not want to watch you. Okay, you could do a nontime lapse video of a plant growing in total silence, but somehow, I think you all would be able to make that interesting. Just saying. I won't stop watching any time soon.
Keep filming what makes you happy the three parter people will
still be here β€
Strong Viking in the Netherlands is definitely something Nate should try !
Desert elephants in Namibia. Especially if you are already in Botswana.
You all are the best I love yous so much β€
I loved the Polar bear β€
What day are you doing the ski joring in Leadville so we can come watch?
You reminded me to watch the polar bears! Woops, busy end of year π
So exciting hearing about your plans, whatever you do in life i'm sure you'll make it epic and extra and not ordinary π
Thank you for sharing your Beautiful New Year plans. May this year be filled with Health and Happiness and twins( a boy and a girl)?β€π
Come to Punta Arenas, Chile! You have to see one of the wonders of the world: Torres del Paine (if you haven't been here before, of course) β€π my best wishes for you guys, you have a loyal follower from the end of the world π«Ά
Hi you two! My boyfriend and I have been following along since the beginning! We love you!
I have an idea: I know 9 year ago Nate and Kara were new to the travel game, but what if you recreated a vlog from the OG years of travel? Like giving yourself $10/day to spend but showing the growth of your videography skills! Thanks for the years of laughter and tears and weβll always support you guys! Happy 2025!
