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!

Amazing video, thank you for letting us join you. You guys sincerely are the best ❤️
30:25 i grew up along that stretch of the Indiana-Ohio state line. Oxford was the first and one of the best college towns I've experienced. GO MIAMI
What is Sheramy cream?
I'm so sad I missed you guys coming through Bloomington, IN!! My hometown ❤ I hope you guys enjoyed the short time spent here ❤❤❤❤
i hope you guys enjoyed it in ohio, fall here is really beautiful.
Kara and Nate l have never commented on your videos until now. I just want to say thank you for taking us on your adventures. You see I became sick in 2021 from COVID. I unfortunately lost my right leg. After being in a coma for two weeks I woke up with my life changed forever . I loved hiking and swimming just being able to walk with my granddaughter. I just wish I could get up and hold her hand and walk down the sidewalk. This is all I wish for, realizing this would never happen again was the biggest thing that made me cry . I couldn't share this with my grandbaby anymore.However my life is so different and I know I can't. I thank you because I feel that I am on these adventures with you. I miss being able to just go into our backyard. Thank you both for giving me hope. Especially when at one time I had none. I wish you guys the best of luck and thank you for taking me on this amazing adventure with you.
lets go Indiana is my home state
You guys keep me motivated with every video!
Are you doing a part 6??
Lincoln is actually from KY, but his family relocated to Illinois
Why does this person have to scream and yell all the time?
You don't have to either or with D.C. and Annapolis. I'm guessing you are looking at the Great Alleghany Passage and the C&O and you should, they would be much, much more enjoyable ways to get from the mountains to the coast…but from D.C. there are also largely paved trails that also go out from D.C. to Annapolis which would only add 39 miles by way of the Washington/Baltimore and Annapolis Trail.
If you liked Katy, you would LOVE the Great Alleghany Passage. The C&O might be a bit rough with a three seater, but there are a number of parallel paved options.
You should go to casper
I play in that park daily! Glad u enjoyed our small town 💗
Kara what brand is your purple dress you are wearing when you cross from Indiana and Ohio? I need to get one!!
COME ON OXFORD OHIO!!! #LOVEANDHONOR
Watching them take off in my home town in the parking lot of the place my grandparents always took me to as a kid was my favorite part of this video
LOVE LOVE LOVE this series! You guys are freaking awesome, such an incredible experience ❤
honestly, I would really like to see inside of Rick and Beck’s van. I really want to see how they travel in a van with two kids and make it all fit comfortably. ❤
The highlight of this video was Nate singing Shania Twain by himself!🤣 Love you guys! 💗
🎉🎉🎉
I wish I knew when you were passing through Bloomington, IN I live just a few miles away. Dang it!
When will part 6 come out?
I love you guys! I've been so invested in these videos! You're all so wholesome and have such great attitudes–especially the kids! I would have been such a brat about this as a kid but they are taking it in stride AND doing school-work?! So so impressive!
KARA–where did you get that purple sweater dress that you wear once you get to the 10/10 campground with the nearby porta-potty and no one else in the parking lot? It looks cozy and warm and long enough to wear as just a dress and I NEED IT.
I've loved watching this challenge – thankyou for cheering me up 🙂
19:05 I love that you guys now “promote” eating Vegemite… haha that makes me giggle because of your first reaction 😂😵💫. I’m from Australia, and if you can get it you should so try cheesymite, as it’s cream cheese blended with Vegemite soooo good and put out by the Vegemite company 🇦🇺
What is the name of the song??
Rick is an absolute engine – not taking a single day off and taking a turn with his girls.
This is my absolute fav Kara & Nate series yet.
I’m always surprised by how much I love these videos ❤ you all are the best 😊
Anyone know what company their hoodies are ? Kara is wearing a purple hoodie dress I believe from the same company in this episode. They look so comfy and my husband wants one.
omg! you were at the brookville dam in indiana!!! my mom is from there. i have always loved brookville
honestly, I would really like to see inside of Rick and Beck’s van. I really want to see how they travel in a van with two kids and make it all fit comfortably. ❤
I'm actually sad that this series is coming to an end! It's always fun to see the adventures this group has together. Thank you for sharing this! You guys are the best!
My dad is from Alhambra
Kara where is your purple sweatshirt dress from?
I’ve really enjoyed watching this series from down under in Australia 💕I will miss seeing your friends when it’s over .
I’m so sad I missed you coming through my hometown! Illinois ❤s you!!!
how old is even?
Awesome video as always Kara and Nate. This adventure to bike from the West Coast to the East Coast is so epic can't wait to see the Final episode.
Kara you think your leg hair is bad, that is nothing compared to mine lol😂 i don’t shave in winter, there’s no point for me personally. That’s just a personal preference for me, I just don’t need to in winter.
Absolutely love this series! My favorite adventure you guys have done! Love the teamwork! Such great vibes!
I love this series so much! And everything else you guys put out.
where can i get the shirts ??? and other merch!!
I live in Indiana In whiteland/Greenwood Wood
I hope you guys realize that this distance you’ve traveled is more than the Tour de France …. The difference is probably the elevation that has to be covered going through the alps and it’s a race ! Great going ! You must invite some fans when you’re doing this again !
Id love to see you all do ragbrai again.
