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 :)

The fact that Nate waited 2 hours just to eat the onigiris with Kara is so cute ❤️
-
If you didn’t think Kara and Nate were couple goals, watch them reunite after one sleep 🥹🫶
-
the interaction with the couple at the bug vending machine made me smile so big. i love when people just get to interact with other people and transcend any language barriers and be good to one another. it was so sweet. :)
-
Ok but, Nate talking to random strangers and convincing them to eat bugs with him is the Nate era I’m here for!
-
Wishing all who read this comment a very happy Saturday☀️❤️
-
"My dinner came with it's own lamp." - Kara, 2023 And this, dear girl, is why we love you. 😂🥰
-
"I'm so used to saying we" might be the most loving thing I've ever heard
-
Kara really delivered the lines in this episode! My favs: "I am the book shelf" and "It's hard being your suga mama" 😂😂😂
-
Hahahah I love that the reason she didn’t want to eat bugs was not because she was scared to but rather because she’s “already done it so many times” hahah I love you two
-
Oh my gosh, I was enjoying the episode so much and then you invited strangers to eat bugs with you and that has to my favorite part! They were so sweet. I'm a high anxiety introvert and literally living vicariously through you! Awesome video!
-
Can you guys just permanently move to Japan! Absolutely love seeing your vlogs here!!
-
I had to laugh when Nate was recognized in the locker room at a random capsule hotel in Tokyo. When Kara said "I got you, boo" when asked who was paying for their date, I busted up laughing. The food and the TeamLab experience were so crazy amazing and unique, I love that this was where you guys went for date night. Japan seems like vending machine Heaven with the cotton candy and cake-in-a-can machines. Getting the couple to eat vending machine bugs with you was too funny. They were adorable and I LOVE that they came up to talk to you after and subscribe to your channel. As cool as the capsules in a library were, it felt a lot like coffins and I definitely think Nate got the better capsule that time.
-
I love that they get recognized world wide from their travel vlogs 😭
-
You know it’s a good day when Kara and Nate upload ❤
-
kara and nate seem like such kind and genuine people. they're so good for each other and the way they bond is just so amazing and i wish everyone could experience a relationship like that.
-
“Kinda bored without Kara” so cute!❤
-
You know you've made it big when the only person you see in a random Tokyo capsule hotel knows who you are and watches your videos. 🤗🥰
-
Kara’s “it’s hard being your sugar mama” KILLED ME 😂😂 Also its my birthday today and a video was the best present ever 🤍✨
-
“I’m literally the book shelf” 😂 Kara having an interstellar moment ❤ Loved the episode guys! I was in Tokyo 8 years ago and you’ve reminded me of all the gems 😍
-
Kara has the most infectious personality. So adorable. Love you guys from SA.🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
