Who are Kara and Nate?!
Watch our documentary here: • 100th COUNTRY DOCUMENTARY
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 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!

Kara spending the whole day belting Adele, then running through the casino to the Adele concert, then crying while watching Adele live, made my entire day.
-
Seeing Kara’s pure excitement for Adele made my day❤
-
seeing Kara happy makes me happy, honestly love you both so much!
-
It is so refreshing to see how much you guys are still loving van life especially since so many others are kind of retiring from it lately!
-
Kara opting out of the hike to embrace the comfy solitude of the van is such a mood. Our girl 😂
-
Nate’s face when Kara was driving singing her music. 😂
-
Kara getting so excited about Adele and Nate just sitting there smiling is just everything. I am so glad van life is back!!
-
Some people film the artist at concerts. Nate films Kara, the real star!!
-
As safety, you should do holes where you propane tank is. So when it's leaking (Thats how propane tanks works and they will leak) the gas will go under your car through hole instead, since it's heavier than air
-
Only Kara and Nate would arrive at an Adele concert via a mountain and a national park ❤
-
