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

This is a fabulous example of eco-tourism and the symbiotic relationships that are achievable with a little forethought and ingenuity.

[@TRIVTravelVlogs]

Kara and Nate, I can't thank you enough for making this. My boyfriend and I were supposed to fly to Coron from Manila for our anniversary and stay exactly here (we got the Junior suite on the main houseboat for two nights!) the week the Manila lockdown happened. To say we were devastated is an understatement, this was our dream vacation and first anniversary together. Fortunately, Paolo gave us the option to keep our reservation for the future once all of this ends. Watching this made me sad seeing what we missed but so happy and optimistic at the same time -- I felt like I was there in spirit through your vlog, and it made me so excited for when we can finally travel again and stay there. Thank you so so much for making me hopeful in these tough times ❤️
