Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” and taking more trips together and finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and travel hacking over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this KZbin channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling. So we extended our 1 year trip to THREE years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

[@KaraandNate]

For the first time in 3 years we're taking a 24 hour break from all electronics! We're going to spend the day enjoying each other's company with no distractions and planning 2019 with pen and paper. We look forward to reading and responding to all your comments tomorrow 😁 P.S. We'll announce the 400k Giveaway winner tomorrow evening via email. There's still time to enter here: karaandnate.com/400k-giveaway/

Hi Kara & Nate (and Nadine) a great vlog - those noodles looked fabulous. I think if you drink enough wine it would look 3D even without the glasses. Oh and those glasses - a serious fashion statement that I think you guys can pull off. 🍾👓🍷. Loving the filming effects - looking forward to the next vlog - keep them coming - Chris & Marianne. PS a globe tattoo would be cool - just be careful where you put it as everyone's going to ask to see it LOL !!

[@s24pat75]

[@FireCracker3240]

So, you DID encounter a bear! A gorgeous, fluff-ball, bear-like dog @ 4:57! How adorable is he?? I've always wanted a dog just like that. 😍😍😍

[@allaboutthegyro]

Kelowna is a special city. We chose it as the name for our dog (pictured as my pic) solely because of the great experiences we had last year for Canada’s 150th. So, I am feeling a bit nostalgic.

[@KaraandNate]

Aww that's such a cute pet name!!

[@ryanmuller4996]

Is Kelowna safe? just wondering.

Ryan Müller - very safe. And the people are super friendly.

For non-canadians: just a note that the enormous country of Canada is HUGE and the culture differs across the provinces and territories. BC is amazing but it is difficult to generalize it as representing the country as a whole. There's so much to explore! Enjoy! 🍁🇨🇦

Looks like you chose a good time of year to go to Kelowna. In summer, temperatures can approach 40 degrees celsius - hot for Canada.

[@willowashe]

I’m an Okanagan kid. Can confirm that Okanagan summers are too hot for convertibles. I burned myself on my seatbelt.

[@NelleCreations]

Yum!! You can never go wrong with Ramen!

[@mgraysonhay]

Though I am loving this documentation of your travels to Beautiful British Columbia, rule number one when in Canada is this: *If you drink coffee in Canada, it MUST be Tim Horton’s. That is true Canadian coffee.*

[@Kimmy3999]

so weird to watch a vlog in my hometown! Love you guys and just discovered you a few weeks ago. :D

[@gmanjeffries3748]

You guys should when this outbreak has passed by come back to Canada to visit central Canada Ontario but try fly westjet you get a feel to how Canadian airlines bring Canada's hospitality on an Canadian airline Air Canada has had a lot of backlash negative feedback but Westjet has my opinion 5x more positive feedback I flew to Vancouver from Toronto in 2012 on a 737 700 it was hard to my anxiety but flight attendants picked that up quickly kept me calmer not bad for 5 hrs 20 mins I had drunk to much pop lol then again I was hiper enough to not think of the flight

[@kiaradubrett4503]

this was amazing!! i grew up in kelowna, this video made me miss home. pulp fiction and wasabi are two of my favourite places to eat and enjoy coffee. i now live in calgary your final destination, hope you enjoy your trip through canada!!

My husband and I (in our 60s) just discovered your channel a few weeks ago and we are loving every minute of watching your travel adventures. I am an R.N. by profession and took a sabbatical from healthcare in the mid 90s to work as a tour director for a large east coast tour operator then step-on Newport, R.I. city tour guide which was a dream fulfilled as I always wanted to work in travel. I did this work for two years and it was the most fun but hardest work I ever did and I was an ER nurse!! You guys are just great and wish you many more traveling adventures!!!

Skip the tattoo. They get ugly as you get older, also they are disfiguring. Your skin doesn't deserve it.

If you ever make it back too Kelowna there are in fact cougars so be careful. You're less likely to encounter a bear lol
