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 travel vlog 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 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!

Grateful we watched this from sunny Baja this evening haha! Love you, loved the northern lights but seeing your LONGING for the sunshine made me so happy I wasn’t there hahah😅!! Kara had us both LOL-ing with the Fro performance 👏🏻
-
This felt like the old Kara & Nate we all fell in love with! It’s so relaxed, goofy and just them being themselves. Loved it!
-
This video reminded me how in love Kara and Nate are. Its not like I forget that they’re married, but idk something about this video really shows how much fun they have together. They are such a great team. Just another way they inspire me lol
-
The lights were definitely worth going out for! Kara trying to “break in” to someone else’s room is fabulous!
-
who else is happy whenever kara and nate post!
-
As a Canadian, I very much appreciate all of this winter-centric content. One of my travel goals is to make it all the way up there in Norway!
-
I know y'all know this already - but traveling with a tiny roll of tape is such a great travel hack. To cover up annoying lights, keep drapes in place, and stick rattly overhead panels that are annoying and loud like Nate mentioned. Thanks for always taking us with you and so glad you got to finally see the Northern Lights!
-
This episode felt different. It felt like the curtain was down, especially for Kara, and I feel like we saw more of your personality! It felt like less of a showcase and more of a day in your life. Love it!
-
As a Norwegian it makes me so happy to see you guys enjoy “my” country if you will haha! Love your content guys! ❤️😉🇳🇴
-
I wonder if the poor artist who created Frö is ever going to recover from this?! 🤭 As a Canadian living in Australia, I've been absolutely loving all of the snowy Norway content! We're planning on going there and hopefully up to Svalbard in autumn, so this has been so inspiring. Your content just gets better and better...a big thank you to you both. 😊❤
-
As a Sweden I must say, unless you are going skiing or visiting an icehotel, Sweden really should be seen during summer. Long warm summer nights and beautiful green nature, also Stockholm is most beautiful during summer 👍
-
I just wanted to say that I love how much the two of you have grown in your travels! I'm a long-time viewer, and I remember the two of you not liking the cold in the beginning, preferring staying in warmer climates. I love all of this cold weather content!
-
I do love that for any other YouTuber this would have been three videos - train, ice hotel, and Northern Lights. But you all give us all the best stuff in one. The best!
-
So awesome to see you guys traveling through our homeland❤🇸🇪 Next time we'll show you around (during Midsummer)😉
-
Nate & Kara are seriously relationship goals. The way Nate always brings Kara coffee in the morning even on a cold train warms my heart. And such a sweet moment when Kara said she would miss Nate in the train bed. 🤍

I expect to get push back for sharing as many folks aren’t fond of word policing, but I also believe that change only happens once we can learn harm or impact from what we say. @kara please take a moment to google the etymology of the usage of gyp to mean cheat - you might then decide to choose an alternate word or phrase moving forward. Side note, the tongue stuck to flagpole scene was filmed at my primary school in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. My grade two self was so tickled to learn the special FX tricks used (and to know there wasn’t even a flag pole in that part of the yard. I am an extra in that outdoor scene - can see me running past when the bell rings.

It’s nice as a long time viewer to see you guys doing things not super expensive or unattainable for most folk again. ❤
-
I love your videos! Heads up; the word “Gypped” is derogatory towards Romani people. Gypped is used as a term to describe when one has received less than they paid for. Most people do not realize it's a racist term that stems from nomadic 'gypsies' ...

Kara is so funny without even trying!! Her energy radiates 😌
