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!

“I’m married to Nate Buchanan!” Best response ever from Kara explaining why they do these adventures!! 😊😊😊
-
I just want to draw attention to Rick sitting with Evie on the laptop in the dark after one of their hardest days. What a great dad😊
-
It would be so awesome to get some behind the scenes of Dusty/Sarah and Rick/Bec/Evie/Frankie when they're driving!
-
Just so you know, that was a modular data center that drove down the road. Switchgear and data center all in one! The company that I work for builds those things, and they are monstrous to transport. Cool to see you guys came across one!
-
You know it’s gonna be a good day when you wake up to a 48 minute Kara and Nate video 😂
-
I love Kara’s enthusiasm and positivity. Even when biking up a mountain, she’s upbeat and encouraging. We all need a Kara in our lives.
-
I really miss Sarah in these vlog she’s always a lovely smiley person! I hope she is doing well and coping with the bike ride okay ! Let her know she has fans too ❤❤ Your doing great guys! Appositely smashing it! X
-
Evie and Frankie joining in was probably my favorite!! What a cool way to grow up with some rad parents!!
-
At this point whenever I start a sentence with “ these travel YouTubers that I watch…” my family and my boyfriend immediately go “you mean Kara and Nate?” I talk about you guys all the time 😂
-
I mean this in the nicest way possible, but Kara reminds me of a golden retriever. She's always happy, always ready to go, but also just so happy to get to rest and eat. I love it!
-
Can we all just appreciate how much work Kara does editing these video? Every change of camera angle, the voiceovers, the map animations, recaps of the previous episodes etc. I wish the best for Kara and Nate's future adventure on the trandum bike.
-
I LOVE SEEING THE WORLD THROUGH KARA AND NATES EYES! it reminds me how beautiful the world is and to stay humble 🥰❤️
-
I feel this might be one of the most physically enduring adventures yet. Absolutely love watching this amazing group of people persevere as a team! Also, Kara’s energy and vibes radiating through the entire group is the sweetest thing and best part of these videos! Please be safe and have fun! ❤️❤
-
Nate and his colorful “dad” shirts make me laugh, I love them😂
-
Kara and Nate, typically a background silent viewer but I just want to say, you can make these videos 100 hours and I'll sit here and watch through them all :D Thank you for all the entertainment always! Much love and stay safe.
-
Nate's all complaining about his allergies, meanwhile Rick has baboon butt and just laughs & laughs! I just love y'alls adventures! Ladies, you all freakin rock it!!!
-
Frankie and Evie are growing so fast! I love their enthusiasm. Good luck thru the mountains and safe travels
-
Dad carrying the pup after she tripped. my heart stopped. I'm glad she's okay and got some lovies.
-
That’s funny that the one titled “the one with the Baboon Butt” also had Congress Cemetary. Considering a gathering of baboons is called a Congress. 😂😂😂

This has always been my comfort youtube channel! Makes my day when you upload a new video!
