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!

Absolutely loved this whole thing!!!!
I'm so proud of you guys!!! 👏 ❤
It's silly to say, but you've been a consistent source of going after what you want!! I love it! Thank you!!
The ending was the best bit!
I’ll be honest, I didn’t know if I was going to enjoy a full month of the same journey for a bike video, but you guys made it so enjoyable to watch. Congrats Kara and Nate and Team!
Please tell me that you didn't really throw the bike in the ocean and that was a fakeout.
just wondering if after the video hit the authorities contacted you about throwing the bike in the bay ? I would bet they take a dim view of doing that.
I’m very thankful that you all made it safely across America. Many have tried cycling across America, but unfortunately some were killed in the effort. Let us dedicate these videos to their memory.
Something is not mathing about the mileage on those last couple of days 😂
I’m gonna need 3 to 5 business days to recover from the fact that this is the last episode
I'm praying and waiting for the video announcement where you guys go back to van life for the winter and ski around the US with rick, beck, and their family
shoulda kept mask on 4 protection+insulation–maybe bigger eye+nose holes/vents
why no splash covering over rear+front tires?
Omg!! Apple Creek is my husband’s hometown and I even saw his grandparents house in the background! I hope you enjoyed your story in the cutest little town!❤
The end was so emotional, oh my gosh! Love from a TN girl in college in STL <3
After all that…YOU BLACKED OUT THE BIKE GOING IN THE OCEAN!!?? Y’all 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
rail 4 bicycles only–or alongside
train rails?
why not wear protecting/insulating rain/weather gear/covering
You arent dipping in the bay its the severn river
Next time do what you set out to do
I honestly got so emotional at the end. Just so so proud of you all and thank you for sharing your journey. I have been having just the roughest time and needed the positive energy and the ultra cathartic cry at the end!
I am so grateful I found you 4 years ago.. such an inspiration to keep going on
Such a fun series! You all are inspiring, I'm looking forward to next year's bike trip!
Awwwww Kara’s dad being there at the finish!!!! That makes me so happy!!! Loved meeting him at the 100 country party and now seeing him again on this video!!! ❤️❤️❤️ You guys rock! Congratulations on this awesome feat!!! Can’t wait to see what’s next! Love following all of your videos!!!
Next bike trip! Antarctica!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻
28:22 100% cheesy….but 10000% true. Started a new job in a totally different type of field and wondered if I was crazy or had bitten off more than I should've chewed, utterly convinced I'd never be able to take on certain tasks…and so far crushing each boundary!
