WHO ARE KARA AND NATE?!
New here? We are full-time travel vloggers with a goal of visiting 100 countries before 2019. We make daily travel videos. In these videos you can expect to see the best foods and adventures of every country we visit. ;)
Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel vloggers on KZbin, such as: +CaseyNeistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown , and any other talented travel vloggers that KZbin’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)
GEAR:
Our current camera setup: karaandnate.com/travel-vloggi...
Our suitcases: awaytravel.com/karaandnate

[@KurtAnderson812]

In a somewhat perverse way it's comforting to see when things don't always work out well. The challenges sometimes make a good story after it's over.

[@posteador]

It's part of any true adventure. You gotta show the good with the bad, else you create false expectations in people. It also helps to prepare better.

[@justjordiano]

Agreed with the comments here. Show the good with the bad - keeps it real.

[@ohitsROME]

Ack! Being "hangry" and lost is not a good combination. Glad you guys made it safely to your hotel!

[@dmlkcs8620]

Actually, it's great you have these little arguments together. You get to know each other and you always work them out.... It says a lot about your relationship. 👍

[@graysdir9338]

Great video! Love the honesty. Its my opinion that people (who dont travel a lot) always seem to think that backpacking around foreign countries is easy... I have plenty of friends who say "why didnt you just..." but most of them only know what they THINK its like to travel and rarely leave their couch. I think you deserve a lot of credit for always being so friendly and kind with eachother. I backpack a lot (Egypt, Peru, all over Asia) and its never as easy as it looks! Love your smiles, keep it up!!

[@DavinaScheper9]

Such an honest vlog. I love it. Everyone's got ups and downs. Rock on, you two!

[@CupofTJ]

Love that you guys show it all! Ah sorry you had to deal with a taxi like that :( it happens a lot in Asia as well. PS these in transit shots so legit!!

[@bhuang8981]

Ahhh trailer bloggers watch each other

[@cee_el]

See Min Lim meaning in many Asian countries. Obviously not all

[@Runner656]

Every travelling couple has a bad day guys!! My husband and I had a couple. The important thing is that you guys got over it quickly, and you are safe in that beautiful hotel!!

[@channelb5373]

Argh few things more frustrating than not being able to head straight to the hotel after getting to your destination! That pizza lunch looks like it made everything better though, Kara's face said it all! Nice vlog, it's great that you guys don't pretend that nothing ever goes wrong but you get through it anyway!

[@gatita804]

Smart move Nate. I would have done the same getting out of the taxi.

[@heartsMuzikhearts]

Agree. I feel like Kara overreacted!! I think she's use to not having bad days.

[@meganh7829]

GOOFYGOOBERZ Z you say it like that’s a bad thing

[@planesense7390]

Disagree completely, Make your wife happy, big deal- just exchange a couple dollars with the driver, instead you made her walk in blazing heat, sorry thats moronic

[@passiveagressive4983]

Maria Vargas-Salazar yeah but talk to your partner first!

[@hfs212000]

@@passiveagressive4983 yeah the hassle was not worth the fight. Nate with his man pride

[@oleglishchenko4922]

I came across this KZbin channel and having the most fun following your adventures. Great job putting it together! Regarding taxi incident: don't expect they always have/use meters in Chile, Mexico etc. Instead, it's a good idea to agree on price before your ride. Better yet, have him write the amount on piece of paper, to avoid misunderstanding. It you don't have pesos, negotiate price in dollars. Avoid exchanging money with driver, more that needed for this trip. Also good idea to research in advance how much that trip should cost. Good luck and safe travel!

[@facundomanquehue6427]

Well done guys! that taxi driver was a thief, in Chile the dollar market change day by day, now are 650 pesos by a dollar. In Chile always you´ll be find good people to help a couple of lost gringos in our country

[@creyesb]

jajajaja otra vez xdd

[@facundomanquehue6427]

Cristian Reyes Sipo! :D

[@ValenNitto]

it's crazy how good times fly by and bad times feel like eternity. Hoping for easy sailing!

[@loldale8475]

I love the honesty and the way you both resolve a disagreement due to a mixup. I also appreciate your little chat moments where you fill us in on missed moments off camera of your trip.

[@alanhays3033]

Sorry to see you guys had such a "challenging" day... Keep up the great work!

[@espowari]

Watching these out of order (is there a playlist from beginning to end?). Love the honestly on this~!

[@getouttheretoursandtravel]

I love it that you show the truth (and excitement) about travel! Enjoy the journey!

[@cathim1796]

This is what travel really is! It's when though go wrong that you experience the adventure.

[@GDSTX]

IHG here with lots of points thanks to listening to Nate 10 months ago - the Napkin explanation - Winning!!!

[@jeedoo]

In which video ? please

[@HereBeBarr]

I took that style of bus between somewhere and Valparaiso. It's incredible how outside of the USA how different the bus system is!! I slept pretty well, it was an overnight.

[@KaraandNate]

We have actually really enjoyed the Turbus company! Overnight buses are a completely different story ;)

[@soviet-py1bj]

I'm 12 and I have been to 34 countries, I'm very grateful!

[@skylarhill3276]

soviet 1738 😯

[@sarahmleclair6906]

This video is so cute, I love how you always keep it postive and genuine!

[@LehWeGo868]

I like to see you guys happy and I also appreciate the raw unexpected hurdles and to see you successfully cross them 👍🏽👍🏽

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Thanks for sharing the struggles!

[@VL1975]

It's amazing going back watching the videos and the maturity that you 2 have gained over the last 2-3 years traveling. Never seen Kara pissy in newer videos and Nate is always positive. You 2 have grown.

[@barrywoslum9590]

This was my favorite vlog for a while! The best memories come from when travel goes perfectly, but the best stories come from when it doesn't. I can't believe you got a points break hotel available, that was on your route! was that preplanned, or a happy circumstance?

[@skyhigh33716]

glad u guys made it well.....I enjoyed each one of your videos and can;t wait to watch the next one.......

[@kelseymccourt]

Admittedly I would have been pissy too, and I doubt I would have recovered as well. I am a brat- I am also working on it

[@robbuglass6199]

Another good vlog , thanks for the content .

[@29711091]

A couple of things on your vlogs - the music is super cool and they are really addictive! I think I've watched 20-30 so far and I just can't stop watching them. Keep it up you guys!

[@koogene8739]

Everything's gonna be okay💪

[@WJH777]

Chile is such an amazing country!! I want to go one day for sure!

[@lyne3783]

[@linnfredrikvloggar1432]

Great video! Love your vlogs. Big inspiration!

[@pandaaumpansub2725]

It’s good you guys got out from the taxi!!! Good job!

[@jackychannel]

i love holiday inn express it always has free breakfast.

[@ramnavato5884]

Hahaha just another experience. Glad you both enjoy any of good and bad experience. Always take care.

[@Wolfy-nz7vz]

Glad everything worked out in the end :)

[@karimfarouki2519]

Whoa... a little scary of a day! Glad it all worked out.Be safe and take care.

[@powredondo2463]

Glad you guys are safe!

[@123lolzz321]

Lovely landscape!

[@stephaniegruenberg7044]

Oh boy, yup, that was a rough day for you guys. Sorry it was such a rough day! I'm glad you guys talk about the negative moments too, but I'm also proud of you for keeping your arguments/fights private. It's thoughtful on both of your parts that you are so good about not showing your spouse in a negative way. Well done!

[@Alex-ce6it]

Well played Nate.... we could feel the weight of the world on your shoulders there for a minute but you did a great job keeping your cool :) You guys rock.!! And make a really cute couple by the way :) Cheers.

[@nickp.1434]

Some taxi drivers in Chile are very honest, like my father once left his wallet with $500 dollars in the back of a taxi, the driver noticed it and returned it back to him, he was lucky that he got off at my grandfather's house in Santiago, my father tipped him $50 dollars. But half are not, can't remember if they give a receipt or not, but usually the put on the blinkers, radio or wipers or similar and it makes it jump. My family is from Chile but I haven't returned in five years. The funny part was that the really friendly ones were sometimes the worse, but it was only a few dollars for a somewhat short ride, I think this true for most of Latin America. I think the best thing is not to show you are a foreigner or just keep quiet as much as you can. In Peru the gas is different at every gas station, there no standard in many gas stations, but there was one, I think the main one, they refine their gas in Chile, and was to U.S,. standards, but if you get a horrible gas mileage is because of that, plus they don't drive very well there too. The south of Chile is very nice. People for the most part are very friendly. in Chile. In Santiago the metro is very good, it is one of the best in the world and very cheap to use.

[@rockracingfan]

I think what I've learned from this video is that for my travels I'm always going to carry snacks...

[@pink2nt47]

I think bad travel days make for some of the best stories!! Me and my friends always talk about those stupidly-bad days we had traveling and how funny it is!

[@christopherbarber9351]

Thank you for "...it's easy to lose perspective I guess..." Well expressed, Kara. Also Nate it was great that you acknowledged your role in the problem that y'all ultimately overcame!

[@beccamaycarey6797]

Shame on Antofagasta! I lived 3 blocks from the Holiday Inn. So much has changed - not in a good way. I'm sorry your experience there wasn't all that pleasant. I was hoping you had gone to see the Plaza Colon clock but the ocean views were amazing - brings back memories of swimming there! I'm sure the rest was well needed!

[@katielemos8590]

Nate absolutely did the right thing in getting out of that taxi.

[@carolweekley9582]

Your background music has so improved! The jangling techno-pop in the beginning was sooo distracting. Good job!

[@jennifervonzemmrich4795]

Kara Nate we had a similar thing happen inThailand going from Ko Samui to Satun. I completely sympathize with you😀

[@julievanderleest]

The drive to Santiago looked so much like the ride to Palm Springs, CA. The windmills made it seem identical!

[@terrybaker8156]

Here for Nate 👌

[@Gamecockinnc1]

Is there anyway you can pack more snacks (power bars etc.) so when you run into these situations. And the cash issue has been popping up a lot. Is there anyway you can plan or get money ahead of time for the country you are visiting? And in all of the vlogs you two have been amazing working together. Check this up to lesson learned.

[@susandibble3525]

The best move Nate. I would have done the same getting out of the taxi. Kara you need to make up for that hangry moment 🤗

[@taz_kempf]

Kara’s ‘I’m not happy smirk’ was actually so cute. 🤣

[@francesfritticci6212]

So glad you guys made it to the hotel safely I'm glad you seem very honest it's not all peaches and cream when you travel it's just how you deal with it feed the girl will you

[@emilyjorgenson9911]

I'm supposed to be doing my Spanish homework... does this count of research?

[@KaraandNate]

Si, senorita! :)

[@FireCracker3240]

Estoy llegando tarde, pero sí, por supuesto cuenta!

[@jalyassin]

Awwww Nate.... It's OK. Hindsight is 20/20. My husband is just like you in that he always wants to make sure aren't paying a cent more than we should/have to, and sometimes it frustrates the crap out of me but I love him for it because it keeps us on track with our financial goals..

[@_LostAndFound_]

I honestly love travel days!!

[@mayhemofdarknessvideos2281]

Definitely made the right choice getting out of the taxi even tho it cost you $15 to use the ATM!

[@criskity]

The trials and tribulations of travel. But it gives you experience.

[@Singapore1942]

I had the taxi scam happen to me in New York never minds SAmerica. Had to get out while moving in New Jersey once. I really think you guys should read up on your destinations more.... as n Aussie we have BIG deserts and tourists dies every year not getting the scale of the place. Atacama is like our outback.

[@posteador]

In the bigger cities in Chile you should just use Uber and avoid these dodgy taxi drivers (not all of them, but a considerable bunch will try and take advantage of gringos).

[@BB-co9jn]

Yeah this is common knowledge to many frequent travelers. They should have done their research

[@Sillychops1]

Chili, working it's way up on my "go to" priority list

[@livinsite1]

Don’t say out sorry so easily Nate. This advice is meant only for Nate and not for Kara to see it. Get into your next work Nate and give her the space to figure it out in her own space. As it’s not your fault or hers. You are in it together. She needs to learn to take ownership too. But from the looks, you guys are in a healthy relationship space. Keep it going.

[@franstains3373]

Nice view and you deserve it! 😎

[@ra7bar]

While I was traveling I sometimes found myself in situations like yours - I mean not having any local cash. It is very time consuming and annoying do search for an ATM. Therefore now wherever I go to the interior or a place with a population below 100-200k I take a lot of local cash and some USDs (10s and 20s). In case I'm out of local cash it is much easier to exchenge USDs than looking for ATM - even many hotels/hostels will exchange dollars for local currency. Bear that in mind while going to places like Patagonia or interiors in Bolivia, Colombia, etc.

[@lionessmummy4418]

0:15 When I saw the car backing up the road because a car was coming at them head on, that's exactly what happened to cars on the side roads in Ireland! except we were on a giant tour bus.

[@franciscosaldana8944]

You are a fantastic couple!!!!Kara ...¿Where do you get the music for your vlogs, Congratulations

[@hailey_bear]

I would have gotten out of the taxi too Nate. You made a good choice. 👍

[@susanmathis1682]

Nate you are blessed beyond blessed to have Kara in your life.

[@savvyrfuzz1368]

Uhh kara is a bitch.... shes lucky for nate

[@faizan418]

Amazing videos.. Love them.. Which backpacks do you guys use? Any Amazon links will be hlep full.

[@richardschindler8822]

Now that will go down in the books as a bad day, now, feed that girl!!!

[@justsebas01]

Awesome vlog u deserve way more subscribers:D

[@rebeccacroswell9474]

I am bad at skiing too...did the same bunny run in dubai!

[@calebclaeys5404]

I have been in same situation Nate . Kara you give nate Iot of room to work good on you

[@gbenga1338]

Kara, please forgive Nate.

[@RhondaReally]

I made it to 300! Getting there!

[@ChrisTravelVlog]

glad it was the right bus

[@tammycornejo9155]

This is a good thing!

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Nice bus!

[@noelio67]

Travel wouldn't be travel if you didn't hit any bumps/potholes along the way......it's all about the journey, even if that does involve very deep frustrations sometimes. I'm sure i'll hit some next month myself, from Galway City to Capetown............heading over to Kruger National Park, staying at Nelspruit. Booked an Air B n' B for the first time too, been on 6 Continents multitudes of times, but this is my first Air B n' B...LOL......have to thank Kara & Nate for that one! Major price difference between them and the Hotels etc....even given the fact that Summer is nearly over down there.

[@purespirit9]

Not enough sleep & hungeriness wrecks you; take control of yourselves; always have snacks on hand when traveling. Glad both of you can get over it & move on. Now back to more vlogs. 😆😄😙💕

[@tayto34]

Ah poor Nate you were in the dog house huh!! lol 😂

[@dianacline1989]

Kara was beyond hangry 🤣🤣

[@3to1media]

I would figure if you showed up at the holiday Inn they would be able to help you with finding a bank machine

[@brownchairphotography]

Man. That's really a room with a view.

[@IntheCape]

The next best thing to traveling like you guys is being an AirBnB Host. I am in Florida and I meet all the Europeans and get to have fun with them.

[@francesfritticci6212]

When are you going to learn you've got to feed the Kara or else she is not going to be happy and then you're not going to be happy hahaha and I don't blame her

[@latina3b]

frances fritticci 😂 so true

[@stephaniegruenberg7044]

That's what I tell my husband about myself too

[@jennifermackinnon6982]

i figured you would always stay at holiday inns and eat pizza etc

[@sharryrevrs295]

It is just me but seeing all of that desert scenery got me think 💭 of “stars wars”.. don’t know why. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@FindingtheEphemeral]

Did y'all get your debit card?! I am so glad you're finally going to have that.

[@francisconef1971]

My fav place in the world, so farrr

[@perdomot]

Nate, you just rode the disaster train into town buddy. I agree with getting out of the taxi because letting someone screw you over is worse.

[@annettesh75]

I will share this video so hopefully you can make up some of the fees in AdSense. Oh...and all that was in TWO hours?? lol

[@animationeditz5314]

They need more views!

[@pernillewarren8134]

Some drys all goes wrong, but you made it in the end

[@mkhaingthan2089]

I thought that wherever you go, you might know some basic local usage.

[@brandonlewis2555]

Kara was not having it🤣🤣

[@JustinSIsTank]

I can't lie. The Stare made me laugh. A lot.

[@sirlonewolf816]

I always try to stay at a Holiday Inn Express, rooms are always nice, and you can't beat the included breakfast. Why are so many Taxl's driven by scammers? In Bangkok the 'no meter' scam is so rife I now only use the Train ot BTS.

[@julita.3025]

''we dont know what were gonna do now'' Nate : ya 😎
