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 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 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. :)

My husband's childhood friend was one of the designers who designed/engineered that waterfall!! Incredible!

[@KaraandNate]

It is beautiful!!!

[@jenniferlorence1950]

I LOVE THAT PLACE. Tell him is AMAZING........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@999broken9]

nice...

[@cancanjaker1620]

That is really one piece of work that he can boost of forever.

[@zackali5930]

U should catch the Jewel colourful display at night its amazing could some one guide me to post a video of the jewel display at night u all can see it

[@AmbientWalking]

Without a doubt, Changi Airport is HANDS DOWN the best airport in the world.

[@chelseamartin5002]

Ambient Walking it’s an amazing and beautiful airport, I was in here twice In April ... was connecting flights so I have spent 4 hours one way and 4 another way, only thing that I didn’t quite like was the cinema room the have only had about 15 seats in it and then the games consoles they had the had about 10 PS3 and 2 PS4 no Xbox at all, I think they should have PS4 and Xbox 1 ... PS3 is too outdated

[@rogerbrown4132]

goes hand in hand with Singapore Airlines. You're not gonna ride a better airline anywhere.

[@AmbientWalking]

@Aqeel Ganchi Yeah I hear you.

[@minemanimations315]

YAY

[@1995atikah]

Thanks

[@muffintuffler]

This granny is just so blessed to have this I pad and get to see your smiling faces and learn so much of the world through your travels ! 😇 Sent from my iPad

[@LukeDamant]

It is crazy that an airport can even have these types of facilities in it 😮👌

[@hagbard72]

did most of my flying in the 80s, Singapore Airlines was by far the best, other than waking me up every couple hours to feed me and slap a hot towel on my face.

[@Skittl1321]

I just watched a Yes Theory video about this airport. I was excited to see your video about it!

[@owenbrown4206]

Same I love both of the channels!

[@amnaleghari4430]

Same thought!!!

Same haha!!

That has to be the most impressive airport I've seen. You two had the best travel day every. Next to a first class birthday party on the plane. GOALS!!!

Just when you thought Changi Airport couldn’t get any better...

I'm 13, been to Singapore twice. Best food and modern city. Love from the country of the maple leaves 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 You should also come here more often tooooo

I'll go to Canada one day! Also, Hi from Singapore

omg i'm 15 and from Canada too, and i've been to singapore 7 times and its almost my second home :)

The shade of "I was wearing my seatbelt" was just amazing.

[@TurnItUpWorld]

True!

[@suzieq4750]

That airport is incredible! Not likely will I ever get there but I would if I could.

[@davidliu2243]

I'm a resident and I've been there like 5 times already. I don't think I can ever get bored going back visiting Jewel. Yeah, if you get the chance, definitely go visit Jewel!

[@sunrayyourmom]

@@davidliu2243 Ive been there twice and didn't know there was a pokemon store! I watched Frozen 2 there tho

[@christinaauer1563]

Was I in the middle of something? Yes. Yes I was. Did I stop what I was doing in order to watch this video? Yes. Yes I did. Do I pick this video over what I was doing? Yes. Yes I do. ❤️❤️❤️ So, not long ago you guys made a video where you went to a restaurant where it was pitch black and they hired special needs people. On a personal note-I was in a coma as a little girl and I had encephalitis. I have special needs of my own. It meant everything to me that you guys were normalizing differences/disabilities. Thanks for being awesome. I’m a huge fan! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Thefitty]

There is that kind of restaurant here in Toronto too! And you are a blessing.

[@marijnadupre3298]

We have one here in Amsterdam too 😃😃

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING, I want to Visit Now. I like the Rain Forest Concept .

[@jackbree]

Next time at Changi. On the public side go to Basement in Terminal 1. The Staff Canteen is available for public use as well. Not free food but the Cheapest food in Changi Airport. 25/30 Hawker stalls . Korean,Indonesia, Philippine,Japanese etc etc

[@zafiraa9799]

Not Indonesian lah but Malay food..

[@mojumi]

The Crystal! The Diamond! The Jewel! Another amazing day of adventure. I love how excited Kara gets about a hot towel

[@johnoliveira578]

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR SO LONG!!! I read about this airport and have been anticipating you guys to go there so I could see the giant waterfall!! Love you guys 👍🏽

[@bargainboujitravel3597]

You guys always make me laugh. The middle seat trick is classic. My husband and I do it as well. The jewel footage was awesome. And the outtakes were hilarious!

[@bobbiegoranson3373]

I love watching Kara's expressions, while she's waiting to see if someone will sit between you. Cute trick you guys learned. Take care. Have fun and safe travels 😊

[@bearsandbutters]

Hey Kara & Nate!! We have seen some of our friends in Singapore showing us this amazing area and fountain!! Glad you guys are ok after your little fender bender!! LOL.. You got "collected" to get on your flight!! The Jewel looks like a beautiful ecostystem as well as an architectural masterpiece!! Thank you for taking us with yout!!! AMAZING!!

[@TurnItUpWorld]

You both always seems to stay so happy and positive even on long travel days. GOALS!!!

[@PratirupaSarkar]

The bloopers are everything !!!! :P "The crystal..the diamond... the jewel" Had me laughing all along.. Love you guys

[@1978Tbk]

Seems like your aisle and window seat plan has worked for you almost every time! Us too... my husband is always nervous about doing it. It’s worked 90% of the time and, when it hasn’t, no one has ever refused our offer to give them the window or the aisle so we can sit together. Great video as always!😁👏🏼

[@meethed]

Same here! We're batting about 60% though.

[@Ethan-ep2zl]

same Im like 20%

[@planesense7390]

Yes! i worked as a travel agent and used to do that for clients and they thanked me most of the time

[@stuandzip]

Sorry, but not aware of the 3 seat trick? Do you select your seats 1&3 and just hope that a single traveller doesn’t get #2?

[@rushminef.3804]

Exactly

[@jonnaandersson5829]

You guys always makes me smile. I got quite a lot of problems with travelling right now thanks to well, people who don’t now what their doing and who won’t let me fix it and in that way making it too late to book thing thanks to them being sold out. However, watching your videos always brings me back in to the travel mood so thank you for that!

[@dianaplanas2095]

Thank you so much for sharing the Jewel with us. One day I will go there and see it in person. You guys are absolutely the best. Safe travels!!!

[@lisawhipple8929]

The crystal!!😂😂 Kara you crack me up!!!😘♥️ safe travels my friends!!!

[@estherchucha3731]

I loved this video! Yes, this airport is the best! 🥰 And Yes, definitely more outtakes in the future videos 😊

[@makenna5226]

Just wanted to say you are one of the only channels I really watch because I literally just love you guys and think you're really genuine and happy! Everyone else uses some kind of crazy thumbnail or clickbait but people keep watching you guys because you rly just rock! hope wherever in the world you are right now, it rocks!

[@KaraandNate]

Thank you so much Makenna, that is really kind of you to say! :)

[@courtknees]

Having my morning cup of coffee, re-watching Kara and Nate videos is the best way to start the day! I’ve started randomly selecting a video, by scrolling and clicking with my eyes closed 😂. It definitely has helped keep positivity and entertainment during this unique time! 💙

[@lerwinneong7752]

[@nataliequinton5976]

I’ve finally caught up!!! I started watching in December 2018 when you did your van trip through western Canada because I’m planning on the same trip next summer. It was so enjoyable I had to start watching from your first adventure. Thank you Kara and Nate for sharing your adventures.

[@michaelsohm7344]

I found your videos when they came up as recommended while watching other travel vlogs. I love your videos and I'm envious of what you guys are able to do. You guys are enjoying life the way it should be and are able to do it together. So jealous!

[@alicehaywood5824]

Ahh welcome to Brisbane!! The weathers so good right now! Happy you're coming to where I'm from! Enjoy!

[@joysantamaria5829]

Now I need to go to Singapore.

[@MsKestrela]

Singapore Airlines is consistently highly rated by travel KZbinrs and AvGeeks alike...and while a lot of them have shown Changi Airport, you are the first (of the many I watch) to show The Jewel. I'm SO glad you have no worse than sore muscles from your accident!

[@melisa3564]

That was the best bloopers out take. I love seeing the "unrehearsed" bits. Reminds me of year one! I also appreciate your high quality polished vlogs, I'm just saying you all are funny, and fun to watch just being you.

[@leohoward7282]

The Jewel looks like an interesting place to spend a a few hours.

[@pamelawiggins9131]

Hey guys the jewel was beautiful. Thank you. You guys are so humble and appreciative, it's so refreshing. Always positive. Thanks 💗💙💜❤

[@starlabaucum5658]

My favorite lounge lizards!!! Watching again!! Love the bloops!!! Love y'all, stay safe!!!

Good to see you back to normal after your scary accident! Singapore's Airport has always been my favorite airport because of its amenities, cleanliness and efficiency. The Jewel just takes it to another level. I would definitely allot time to enjoy it throughly! Singapore Airlines is my favorite airline as you seemed to find out by their wonderful service in Economy Class! Thanks so much for highlighting a great airport and a great airline! As always, take care and Happy Travels!

[@beautyloveradmirerj8562]

Ah, can't wait to visit Changi this winter, I have connecting flight from there...might have to switch things little to have more layover time hahaha. Can't wait for Australian adventure and Charlie's upcoming cameo :)

[@vickieandrews5709]

I have been binge watching the 2 of you for 3 days. You are the cutest couple on any travel vlog. Thank you for the laughs and smiles. Nate is the perfect husband for you Kara. Your personalities compliment each other. (and..He brings you coffee almost every morning❤) The respect the two of you have for each other is off the charts. I admire both of you for your character and integrity. There are not many couples that could stay together all the time like the two of you. If I was 30 years younger and still healthy I would want a job traveling the world. You both are very smart to have done this while you are still young. Well it is 4 am in North Carolina and I think I better catch a few hours of sleep. I can not wait to watch more of your adventure across the world.

[@dragonroars957]

Great video especially since you were at my home town of Singapore! Wished i could have met you guys. You two are my fav travel vloggers!
