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!

    One of the things I like most about this channel is watching how Kara and Nate went from stretching pennies in the beginning and through hard work and creative direction succeeded and earned the ability to enjoy the more finer luxuries. All the while, they continue to maintain the same humility and appreciation as with everything else they get to enjoy, never once flaunting their success or allowing it to redefine them and the original roots of their travel channel. They never fail to mention that every experience and every luxury they get to enjoy is a privilege gifted to them by their loyal fan base (whom they share their joy and experience with in the videos) along with their intuition in capitalizing on travel points, which they teach others how to do. They’ve never lost touch with the ground and continue to test their personal limits through some of the most challenging and craziest adventures, making them one of the most exciting and down to earth people to follow.
  • I love the tradition of Nate making Kara coffee in the morning and he always always always tells her her coffee is ready with a kiss. It's so sweet and I hope they do that until their dying day. It's the simplest, sweetest gesture that goes so much farther than fancy gifts or expensive stays. I love love love it. And, for the record, this particular stay had me glued to the screen....it's so immersive! What a wonderful experience!

    I was the survey engineer for making this masterpiece back in 2018. Really happy to see you there. ❤
  • @bryancohn9406
    More than any other Kara and Nate video I’ve watched this one showed us their love and affection for one another. While never hidden I sometimes feel you guys tone it down a bit worrying that it might come off cheesy. It doesn’t. What a wonderful experience, glad you’re back on the YT!
  • @ashb2509
    My husband walked in and heard nate say there was probably more people sleeping in the space station than under water and said 100% seriously "has he never heard of submarines?" 😂😂😂
  • @nabilsanchez14
    Kara telling Nate not to do something and Nate not listening is such a husband and wife moment. So real, so much love 😂💗
  • @CheckerTravel
    Absolutely love how Nate makes coffee every morning! Such small rituals help feel like home no matter how many different beds you’ve slept in a year! Stealing this amazing place to our bucket list✅
  • @terrinew9474
    This is the reason and what I love about Kara & Nate, no matter if it's a van life trip, hotel destination, survival mode destination or visting friends they are always themselves fun, exciting and kind. This is beautiful I would love to stay here. Thank y'all so much for sharing😊.
  • **It’s great to see you - Kara and Nate withdrawals are a thing! So funny when Nate skates into teen-mode = his strong desire to open the escape hatch door ! What a fabulous and well-deserved experience!
  • Your video quality keeps getting better. Thank you for making your fans feel like family!
  • @mikefinn2309
    I love you guys. So, so much positivity emulating from you both, not to mention this incredible underwater experience that you both just shared....so THANK YOU!! I needed that. Looking forward to more videos soon!! Keep up the good work Nate & Kara!!
  • @laurenm8561
    Absolutely spectacular. I’m pretty sure, the majority of your viewers would never have the opportunity to witness such a beautiful amazing experience... thank you. For the record, Nate watching you perform for Kara as an underwater merman ... was absolutely awesome💞
  • Hi from Kansas! I love that the attendant put so much emphasis on how they monitor the guests in the underwater suite 😅 And...Perfect Saturday's do exist guys! New puppies born(I'm a fur Gammy!) new iced coffee machine, new beans, chocolate and a new Kara and Nate video. Excited to see the Daily Drop video tour!
  • @arlenesolis024
    Omg I had a panic moment when Nate said “we sold the van” and I screamed 😱 but singing snoop dog made it up 😂😂. Kara laughter is gold when Nate asked to ride the exercise bike. Beautiful, amazing and I’m waiting for you guys use it as a giveaway 😜 just kidding. Love ❤️ this place and I’m happy you are back
  • @caitlinquin1391
    Kara and Nate are some of my favorite content creators. They are down to earth, fun, humble, and they haven't lost their sense of wonder about the world. I hope they are fulfilled and happy throughout their journey's cause I enjoy them both so much!!❤
  • @brittneyy
    Am I the only one who finds this, while beautiful, absolutely terrifying? My fear of the open water could never get me to sleep down there, or even be down there for very long 😳
  • @Washwork
    Literally said to myself I could go for a Kara and Nate video. Opened YouTube and there is was
  • So good to see you’re back. 😊 You just made my somewhat dreary Saturday morning into a much happier adventure laden day! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. 🥰✌💪
  • @nicoles2289
    Yes!! These videos are what first attracted me to this channel! I love seeing all the unique places you two stay in!
  • @jimmbling
    I enjoy watching you guys so much. I never know what experiences you guys are going to share with us. This particular stay was off the charts. Thanks so much for sharing. Much love to you both and always be safe.❤❤❤❤
