Who are Kara and Nate?!
Watch our documentary here: • 100th COUNTRY DOCUMENTARY
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 channel 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 in our 9TH YEAR of 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!

I used to get coffee every morning for my wife, she’s been gone 3 years now, I miss doing it, I miss her. Seeing you do it for Kara is bitter sweet. I’d give anything to be able to do it again.

[@suemurphy1730]

This made me tear up. My parents had their morning rituals, including getting two different newspapers, and swapping them over their second or third coffees. When she died, my Dad told me how much he missed that little habit.

Such a precious memory! Thanks for sharing.💜🙏🏻🌻

[@StephenSaxby-vf2ws]

Since you're doing this epic trip though America and Canada may I also suggest you do the same kind of trip on the UKs two sleeper trains.. The Caledonian Sleeper from London to Scotland and the Night Riviera service from London to Penzance(Cornwall) . I would love to see what you think of them Kara and Nate.

[@karrelaw]

Oh, I miss the Night Riviera! Waking up to dawn over Mounts Bay!

[@Canleaf08]

Canada has the so called renaissance cars from the UK sleeper service from London to Paris by night. I might ride one of those very soon.

They did travel with 2 other trains through the Uk though

[@madisonarnett4441]

Catching a glimpse of the walkway over the Hudson was absolutely beautiful. That is the train line I take when going from my home in the Hudson River valley, to New York City.

[@JennieLT3]

As a Canadian who has taken the Canadian train several times, it will not disappoint! The skyline dome car and lounge are amazing, they've got games and talks you can join. The food is great, a good variety. Last, but not least, the Alberta and British Columbia views! Hope you guys had a blast!

[@Canleaf08]

As I can imagine. Definitely in my plans soon.

[@shch1673]

I’m only about halfway in, but two thoughts: 1. Ted Lasso is awesome. I’ve watched all the way through at least 4 times and I discover new insights each time. Love. 2. Kudos for Nate’s correct pronunciation of ‘bruschetta.’ Bravo. ETA a number 3. I’ve missed a train in Chicago before even though I was at Chicago Union Station ahead of my train’s departure. To anyone reading this - don’t mess around and get there plenty early. Since many trains originate in Chicago, they handle things a little differently there. They will call your train in the grand hall and then will escort you as a group to the train. Learn from my mistake, which resulted in a long uncomfortable Greyhound bus ride. Don’t miss the train!

[@TheresaPowers]

I liked the part when the woman asked Ted if he believed in Ghosts. His reply was great "I sure do but I hope they believe in themselves." And then it went woke which is disgusting.

[@thetravelingspinster95]

I second the bruschetta pronunciation. 😂 If only we could convince him to just say fries without the French ahead of it. 😊

They have tons to do, especially the tours, which are amazing. I did eat at Pequods and I gave it 10\10. The sunset tour from Navy pier on a sailboat gives you an awesome view of the skyline. Both sides of the media like to give you lots of negatives about Chicago, and honestly I don’t live there so I can’t tell you, but I can say that I never had any bad experiences while visiting.
