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! After achieving our new goal of 100 countries before 2020 and all 7 continents, we have no plans to slow down anytime soon, and we are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

YA'LL. When I started watching your channel 2 years ago I NEVER in my wildest dreams thought I would see an episode on your channel that featured Kansas. Not only did you give it the air time it deserves, but you did it justice! You showed the world just how beautiful and calm my home is. I hate to admit it, but this video made me cry a few happy tears. So many people talk down on my state for being empty/boring/etc, but you did none of that. You had only nice things to say, and even took the time to take a less traveled route just to see the genuine side of the state. So, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! You two continue to be my favorite KZbinrs and get better with every video. MUCH love from the flatlands. ❤️🌻🌻🌻

Hey Kara and Nate! I just wanted to say that I've been watching your videos for over a year now and it's inspired me to travel when I grow up! My mom is disabled and we don't have enough money to travel so we never could. I had given up on the idea of traveling but your videos inspired me to try to travel in my future. I am only 16 so it'll have to wait a few years but I'm excited for when that time comes! My new goal is to travel to every country during my lifetime. I wouldn't have discovered this passion of mine without you guys! Thank you so much and I love you guys! Keep doing what you're doing

If you get a DC-DC charger or battery isolator it would save you a lot of headache, it allows you to charge off the alternator and you’ll never have to worry about going dead again. It charges at an insane speed, it will outdo any amount of solar that you could possibly have, plus it’s constant any time the vehicle is in motion. It’s good to have multiple sources of power and the alternator is a great redundancy to supplement your solar. Look into it, it’s not crazy expensive you’ll just have to add the line and install the charger/isolator.

Not wanting to believe readily available info/not taking the initiative to go look for the information/not understanding easily understood terms like "cases" does not equal censorship.

Hello! Kansas Citian and former student of art history here. The giant shuttlecocks on the Nelson Akins Museum of Fine Arts lawn are by the pop artist Claus Oldenburg who is famous for making veeeerrrryyyyy large versions of everyday objects and installing them in major cities across the US (and the world). I was told the shuttlecocks are supposed to represent a game of badminton where the museum build serves as the net, and one player is loosing very badly to the other. All the shuttlecocks are on the south lawn (the side you were on) while only one or two are on the north lawn of the museum. I'm glad you guys enjoyed Kansas, Kansas City, and especially the Flint Hills!!! Safe travels

I use it on my work truck each day. Get the glass wet, spray a little degreaser on the glass, scrub the glass, then squeegee it off. No where need as much scrubbing and the glass is A LOT cleaner!

Since then I absolutely fell in love with all your vlogs and watch all of your old vlogs multiple times and will always continue to support your travel endeavors. I'm glad to see that you're making productive use of your time and making good returns on investment by purchasing the RV and touring around the USA! I can't wait to see more of the US landscape with you!!

You should do a state count how you used to do a country count, so like Kentucky would have been 2/50 or 2/48 and Missouri would be 3/50 or 3/48 (depending on how many you’re trying to go through!)

I've been enjoying Kara & Nates travels, binge-watching over the last couple months - excited to see what gems they are setting about discovering in Estes Park! As a Coloradan, I've been up that way a few times & could recommend sights-to-see, but rather looking forward to K&N's exploring - always learn something new. Safe travels, & I hope Colorado does right by you

I went to Kansas once - visiting a friend there. On route I went to a book store in Chicago and asked if they had any guide books for Kansas/ Missouri. The guy said " Why are you going there, Sir?" " I have a friend there." I said. " Oh good" he replied " I thought for a moment you were going there on vacation!". This lowered my expectation but I really liked the place and the people were so friendly. A waitress said I sounded like Prince Charles - which is an odd thing to say to someone from Liverpool - think Ringo in my case.

When you come through Colorado, Hit Smokin’ Yards in Idaho Springs. It’s a must. It’s a cute mountain town that also has a hot spring. I’m pretty sure the hot spring will be open but regardless stop for the bbq. In Estes...go to the Stanley Hotel and walk around downtown. Other spots to check out: Manitou Springs, Glenwood Springs, Woody Creek where Hunter S. Thompson lived. You can also find his house just have Kara ask a local nicely. They are kinda protective but will eventually give in. The directions are weird but you will find the house by it’s huge poles with birds on them. Go to Iron Mountain as well. Holy crap...I wish I could be your tour guide. Colorado is my state. You should also head south towards Santa Fe and check out Meow Wolf. On your way back home in Tennessee stop through Hot Springs Arkansas and Clarksdale, Mississippi. If you end up in Florida...check out Cassadaga. Other places worthy of your view...the Cadillac Ranch in Texas Route 66, and Big Sur, California.

Hello, my name is Cammy and I am a HUGE fan! I can't get enough of your videos. I thought of a place you might like to explore. Maybe not right now since the covid cases are out of control here. But, the place is Anna Maria Island in Manatee County, Florida. The best place on the island is Bean Point. It's AMAZING there. Once, I saw a dolphin jump way high up in the air and spin around several times while I was standing in the water. It was a special moment that I will never forget. Kara, I know how much you like dolphins. You are almost guaranteed to see some there. Happy Exploring!!

But if you want to cancel your subscription they don’t make it easy on you.
