Who are Kara and Nate?!

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” & became obsessed. 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 home to “normal life.” We started this travel vlog to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with this lifestyle and 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. Van life was a major adjustment and so different than flying every week like we were used to, but we are incredibly thankful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎

This makes me want to learn to ride a bike to go do this trail. Incredible.
Just so grateful for your overwhelming positivity.
You two better stay together forever!! You inspire so many!! Go Kara and Nate, we 💕 love you guys.
Beautiful
So helpful thank you, one more thing I have been running high on Dept for sometime now looking for a profitable platform to invest in please..?
Nate's praising of Kara is just the best part of the vlog and it's so great to see their love for each other and constant encouragement to each other
Kara's seat was way too high
Hi Kara & Nate.
Did you know that part of New Moon (Twilight) was filmed in Volterra?
I found you guys through your first arctic cruise series a few weeks ago and went back the the start of the van life videos, I am starting to get caught up! Love you guys so much already and I’m excited to see what you do next! 💕💕
The dad's are back together again!
What's the make/model on the bicycles you rode? They look bulletproof!
24:14 lmfaooooo
I'll never forget the amount of bugs stuck in between my teeth on early boot camp morning runs 🤣
🙏🏻…

I really love how you do things like this with your family and friends. You truly are all a team! So inspiring! Cheers to doing hard things. WHOO!
Hey guys!!
PLEASE SELL THE FARE DROP HOODIES AND TEES!!!
My son has the 2sec tent , we love it use it on road trips !
Volterra is the place where the ending of the Twilight new moon was shooted
That message from Nate about Kara almost made me cry it was so sweet 😭
“Oh No tHe rokCs aRe coMinG bAck 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
Raw eggs are better with a few grains of salt and lime juice. Don't think about it and just let it slide down your throat. I grew up with them being my daily breakfast.
We have a house in Chianni and I believe it was on that route and I recognized the second gelato place you went to because I was there last summer 😂
I have yet to watch part two, but as of watching this video, I would 100% do this! (IF I had a van or a hotel to sleep in every night and I wasn't dead by day two lol)
A go pro in the chest was needed in this trip
The funniest thing (in addition to my "English," sorry) is that they didn't do a single (real) mountain, just a few hills (not even of the highests). Of course that's normal (and right), untrained people can't do mountains, not only for the uphill but for the downhill also (are dangerous for tired and inexperienced people).
However, this makes you realize how much effort cyclists (especially pros) put in when do races, it's one of the most strenuous sports you can do. In any case, done in this way (over several days), I think it's a good experience to have.
Can't wait to see what 2023's big bike ride will look like!
Fortunate !!
Zindagi N milego Dobara !!
Live your life, either a day will come you will regret
Why I am saying this?
Just google " prasant rai quora"
Don't worry all articles are free!!
Dear cyclists from the USA, you have chosen a beautiful area. But some of you were underprepared as I have seen. With a gravel bike you need more experience than you think. For you would be a Mtb. been a much better option. Even with the seating position and steering movement, it would have been much easier for some of you. There are better roads for your driving style that reduce the risk of accidents. Good luck for the next time, especially for the overnight stay. all the best to you all.
Great video! Remember…on a bike…."No Great Downhill Goes Unpunished!" Zulu Delta
Great stuff…where do I find out more about this ride/event? TIA….
Plural of Espresso: Espressi
Anyone know where they rented their bikes from? Can't find the part where its mentioned
but to go on a tour with a car carrying all your luggage! 😆😆
expresso…
It’s the west coast, not the east coast.
The fact that nate spat out out the best part of the egg 😂 I love adding raw egg yolk to meals. Also, those sceneries are incredible. I would have to keep stopping to take photos
Kara, I’m sure you’ve heard this 1000 times; you look like the Mona Lisa. Wow…..
kara can be voice actress
