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 journ

Loved watching Nate's parents holding hands, building the shelter, and seeing their sheer awe at things, like the whales breaching at sunset. I see where Nate gets his desire to experience the world, and also wanting to share it with Kara.

That's a raft for a FAD (fish attracting device) that would normally be found anchored offshore. Structure will naturally attract small fish for shelter and this begins the food chain associated with this raft. In the Solomons the big tuna boats deploy these and, after a while, large schools of tuna can be found feeding off of the fish underneath!
-
The editing in this video feels so similar to older ones. So relaxed and not trying to be too hype or attention grabbing. I love it. It feels more authentic.
-
Nate’s parents seem completely unshaken by these circumstances. I think they’ve been through a lot and are just so comfortable with being in the moment and being with each other that all other instability just doesn’t make them waiver. They are so sweet!!
-
Nates parents are so beautiful. His dad reminds me of mine, who has been gone for 12 years. It's just making me smile so big. You guys are stacking up such incredible memories. Tell them that we appreciate them!
-
You can see where Nate gets his positive energy and practicality from ❤
-
Now you need to to take them on a luxurious camping trip best breakfast dinner and Cocktails since they survived your crazy ideas
-
I love how the parents embraced the challenge. After the first episode I was worried they may tap. But they look much more comfortable. Love seeing yall thrive together. ❤ from Bama
-
After watching you both the last four years I've decided you'd rock a season on either survivor or amazing race. I love your vibe and seeing the world through your camera lenses.
-
YEESSS! I have been waiting for part 2 and it’s finally here!!❤🎉
-
I love how affectionate Nate's parents are with each other. Walking down the beach holding hands, cuddled together watch the sunset....so romantic. ❤❤❤
-
I can’t be the only one who LOL when Kara said “ How do you catch crabs!” 😂😂
-
Wow, Nate your parents are wonderful, I feel like seeing them together is like seeing you and Kara in the distant future. Just adorable ❤
-
"I'm feeling the crab and green bean energy" -- I love those Karaisms SO much.
-
Nate's parents are awesome! Also, Nate's dad's accent reminds me of how Nate spoke in the early videos lol. the good old days. Love you guys!!!
-
I love it. “ don’t eat me”….. Kara I love the “ home tour” and your and Nate’s humor is priceless! I look forward to your videos every week. By the way having your “ 60 year old” parents was a nice touch. They look in amazing shape, not bad!. Thoroughly enjoyed this series of videos……….Again🤪❤️❤️❤️
-
So proud of Nate's parents and the both of you for surviving on this island.
-
Y’all are absolute legends!! (Can you tell I’ve been watching Kinging It😆) I love that you got to do this with Nate’s parents, these are memories that will last forever between you guys!! The final sunset with the breaching whales and the double rainbow was magical✨ I can only imagine how bed feels after a trip like this, how a warm drink feels going down, how scrumptious food is, not being fish or coconut😆 The gratitude after a trip like this is probably indescribable. Props to you guys!!! Stay you ✌🏼
-
I'm sure that Kara and Nate will be just like his parents. Still holding hands and cuddling after decades together.
