Who are Kara and Nate?!
Watch our documentary here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuFv4iF8wgg&t=1s
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!

Isn’t only one of them a dad? hehe
Kara’s enthusiasm is a little over the top. It’s a bit annoying!
Nothing is better than mushroom sauce and pasta. Im not vegan so I add parm cheese and will make a homemade mushroom Alfredo sauce. Yummy. Browned butter mushrooms and spiral noodles woth fresh crispy sage leaves. Yum. Oyster and miatake are the best mushrooms
This has become a great series, well done with the filming and editing while trying to stay alive.
Iron Springs pass is 3 locations where are they?
what works do u guys do
42:06 lmao
I thought she was washing with a piece of bologna
Anyone else notice the Australian Woolworths chilli flakes? How on earth did you get that back to America hahah
I love how Nate is the only one wearing a collared shirt biking across America.
Yea only reason they got through that border check is cuz they are WHITE….should've mentioned that in the video.
i love this crew too <3
I wish we knew when you guys are going through St. Louis!!! My daughter and I have been watching you guys religiously for years now and both cried when we saw that you might be coming through STL!! We hope to get lucky and meet you guys someday! You guys inspire us so much, we envy the van life, and my wife has joined in watching in the last year and we love the bond between the two of you! Good luck and keep it up!!
Beautiful Arizona Forest!
Great video, you guys seem like so much fun, and the trip looks amazing. The food you guys eat though, I think i'd "accidentally" drive off into the grand canyon rather than have to eat that stuff.
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. 😂😂😂
How come the other gal isn't shown as much?
thank you fir the pasta and cookies recipies
Kara where is the purple sweater dress from omg I cannot find it 😫🙏🏾
I have been dying to try those cookies and I finally did!! They’re soooo good.. we need more healthy recipes 😋 my kids will love these!!
