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” 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 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!

  16. I'm not sure if it's because I"m high or just the video itself, but this video really made me feel like I was there, not just watching on youtube.

  18. I love you guys, but Nate, that mustache is not you my friend. It might just be me, but I'm a mustache and beard girl myself, so I don't understand why I don't like just your mustache. Stay safe, y'all, and enjoy your travels!

  29. As a train enthusiast, I’m more of a fan of the Northern Belle rather than the Northern Belle. The locomotives that haul the Pullman are most of the time Class 66s or Class 67s which were made for freight (they’re mixed traffic, but mainly built for freight). However, the Northern Belle on the other hand are pulled by pure British Engineering (Class 47s or Class 57s, they are also both mixed traffic but they were used for passenger trains back in the British Rail Nationalisation days). The only thing I prefer the British Pullman to the Northern Belle are the carriages.
