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!

    Hey y’all! Before you watch, we wanted to fill you in on what this video is 😊 We made 6 different episodes of our bike ride across America, and this 4 hour long video is ALL of them smushed together into one big movie 🍿 Besides the new intro, this video is the same as the past 6 uploads on our channel (just removed the ads and put all the bloopers at the end 😊). We felt like this adventure was so grand that we wanted the whole journey in one place to live on the internet forever! If you haven’t binged the series yet, hopefully this makes it a little easier to do that ;) If you’ve followed along the past 6 weeks, THANK YOU ❤ Maybe turn this one on your TV in the background and let it play to help the algorithm?? Haha just kidding (kinda). Thank you all for being a part of this insane journey and for all the love! Onto the next adventure 🫶🏼

  • @llaurenraquell
    I watched this video with my grandma, who usually falls asleep when anything is on the TV but she was awake the entire time and super engaged with the video! She loved how energetic Kara is and Nate’s Hawaiian shirt and safety man outfits! My grandma is now a Kara and Nate supporter!! 🫶
  • @sierraarnold2539

  • @Rahul-rt9jv
    As someone who's wheelchair-bound, I live through you guys. Much love from Canada
  • Harriet and I just finished watching you guys for 4 hours. Not only do you guys deserve an award for it. We deserve a thumbs up for watching it.

  • @BobchillDog
    Hey Kara and Nate i have been recovering for 8 months. Every Saturday i would wake up and know a new episode of the series would come and would just bring a little light to make it through a full day! Thank you so much for the content.❤
  • @jobdeleon8245
    You are actually the reason why I bought a bike 2days ago.
  • The best vid on youtube so far.....passion, friends, bonding, adventure, the beautiful outdoors of the USA, and freedom. TOP 1
  • @drumandbass_2023
    Wow! Okay, I know to never underestimate you two again 😂 A 4 hour film of Biking Across America and I am here for it! I'll probably be returning every so often when I miss your biggest and most exciting trip yet. Beings as my life has been a bit busy, I am part-way through the 6th episode, I might just watch from episode 1 again on this 4 hour special. Love you all 🤍
  • @Michelle-wd2oy
    Even though I’ve watched all 6 episodes, I think I’m going to like watching it all smushed together WITH NO ADS!!! Woot, I’m totally watching it.

    I watched each episode as they came out, but while watching this full version in my bed I have fallen asleep multiple times 😂, this is just somehow soothing 😆
