Today’s travel day was a long one! We sadly left the villa of our dreams at Soneva Jani in the Maldives to embark on a 40 hour travel journey to Egypt. We flew from the island to Male, Male to Sri Lanka, spent the night at an AirBnB, flew to Muscat where we visited a super nice airport lounge, then finally from Oman to Cairo, Egypt! :)

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” and taking more trips together and finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and travel hacking 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 THREE years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before Nate turns 30 (which is March 20, 2019)! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

Quick question, is it really safe to be traveling to egypt ? Don't get me wrong nowhere is safe but with the current "events" that have been going on like bombing ect is it ? Only asking as its been my place to go since i was a kid (want to see the pyramids) but i have my concerns and by god my fiance is a big NO... we watch your vids and if you had any though on it that would be a good help on my half haha. Love evedy video !

[@vicpz1]

You guys, great video! By the way before I went to Vietnam a couple of weeks ago I checked your channel to see if you had gone there. And you have! Signature Cruise should give you commission ;) Ps. Too bad you’ve already come to Ecuador before I discovered your channel. Cheers!

[@semsemeini7905]

How was the weather?

[@semsemeini7905]

Too hot Egypt in June.

[@mansoureh]

Thank you for the recommendation. It is so easy to listen rather than reading a book when you are on move

[@rebekahbridges-tervydis5054]

All the flying you do, I’d love a video on like...your biggest mistakes. The craziest flights be it crazy passengers or turbulence. Scariest country experience.

[@emmajones8590]

They did manage to miss a flight at one stage. And they almost missed a train once, I think it was in Asia.

[@diyashah9984]

Emma Jones I think they actually missed one of the trains sorry I finished watching there videos again so that why it’s late :(

[@cindland]

See Min Lim think that was in Ecuador or other LA country. That was SCARY to watch! I would also love to see a behind the scenes type video: hoe they do laundry, change out their wardrobes, what happens to their souvenirs etc. All the “unglamorous” stuff! I haven’t seen one of those yet, although they have mentioned all of these in bits and pieces along the way.

[@snickertoy]

[@Tacoheart]

They have amazing teeth hahahahaha super bright 🦷😁

[@theendoftheworldasweknowit9894]

Your teeth can be bright too it’s called snow the whitening system, or whitening strips, crest whitening toothpaste so many options. And your future can be bright as well don’t ever give up.

[@ellagrace6499]

7:25 did anyone else notice the fly crawling in the bread on the left?

[@philipspradlin548]

ha ha me

[@shakayla.matilda]

Yes it was annoying me so much. 😂

[@bellapepperpatchesfluffy]

yes i was grossed out lol

[@patriciaspates6856]

YES

[@redgarcia1427]

Right away! It grossed me out! LOL✌

[@KirbyVandivort]

On days like this it would be great if you included a little zooming google earth video showing Where on Earth you are at, and how you bounce from location to location.

[@lostleblanc]

The resort is insane 🤭

[@lumskee]

Lost LeBlanc ur here!?

[@dionysus122]

I want to know what all the stamps in your passports look like. Wow.

[@JackandGabExplore]

I know! They have been absolutely everywhere! SO jealous :)

[@Navinkumar-hn3nd]

Hereby I declare that I am now addicted to your videos .They are just so fabulous and amazing. The best part of your videos is the constant smile you have throughout your video of which I have become a fan. Totally!!!!! Love you Kara and Nate for the awesome job you are doing. Mannn!!! Nate is so coooll!! I want to be as cool as him.

[@darlenefoster3379]

Navin kumar I just found their channel and am binge watching

[@Navinkumar-hn3nd]

Ms Bond You would finally devour almost all of their videos I am sure😁

[@frednimoh9727]

Navin kumar omg!! same

[@cl0v3r48]

Same

[@heathandalyssa]

"We're really maturing." Haha I love you guys so much. I'm glad Sri Lanka let you in the country! 😂

[@karmelazoran3325]

I love Kara's plane necklace 😁. Great adventure once again! Excited about the Egypt vlog 😅😆

[@VolpeWhereAreYou]

dam I wish I would have known about the expedited customs before....I made sophie leave the drone at home :(

[@kerridavren7736]

Huh

[@nataliebrierly9697]

I was in Sri Lanka last month (and then the Maldives haha) and it is literally one of the most incredible countries I've ever been to! The people, the food, the culture..I can't wait for you to head back there and do some amazing vlogs!

[@AnneEWilliamson]

Egypt! Since I started watching your vlogs months ago, I've been hoping and praying that you guys will go to Egypt. And you are!!!! I'm so excited!

[@amiladroid]

When you guys are coming to Sri Lanka? 🇱🇰

[@groovy517]

After months of watching your vlogs, I FINALLY made it to present day vlogs. Super excited to see what the next half of the year will bring us (because technically you are bringing me to places I've always wanted to see).

[@SamanthaSeltzer]

I’m rewatching all your videos for quarantine vacation and noticed: yall have had 2-3 different times where your plans to visit Sri Lanka fell short, so I hope you get a chance to prioritize that trip as soon as you can!!!! If you still want to go :)

[@jennabonnichsen]

Great vlog! Do either of you have issues somatically, emotionally or mentally adjusting to a new land (culture shock)? Do you have a protocol for easing back into homeostasis?

[@shashikabeenfernando8308]

you missed a lot in Sri Lanka :( :(

[@WanderfulRevolution]

Loved you Maldives videos, but also very excited for Egypt!!! Egypt has been on our bucket list for quite sometime! You guys inspire us to get out more and make more videos ourselves!

[@Y_Not1]

Hello everyone, Wow" it wasn't very good". I'm surprised you would say that openly in a video about a host. After they were so nice to you both. Not cool. You must know they told everyone they know to watch the video because they were super proud I would think.

[@homahasnain8855]

If you have to choose between being kind & being right then please choose kindness.

[@homahasnain8855]

They should have been a little more compassionate towards the wonderful host.

[@stevedelahunty3859]

I have seen these two saying stuff like that in some other videos as well. Very rude

[@effie-Toronto]

They also make fun of fat people

[@chathurikasamarasinghe7378]

Talk about it! I noticed the same! Very disrespectful!!!

[@emmajones8590]

I'm binge watching your videos. Marvellous. What an energy and positive vibes. I particularily loved the ones about India and Nepal and the Trans Siberian train, as I sell a lot of Indian and Asian stuff and I'd just watched a series about the Russian train, reality series in Russian, with the staff that work on it. It seems to be a pretty gruelling job. 2 weeks solid on the train and 2 weeks free. Right through the heart of winter as well. It was via that series that I found your youtube channel, as you travelled on that train as well. The stress, irregular hours and jet lag of that kind of travelling would drive me crazy. But I love watching you two from my lazy armchair. I think I'll watch your everest series this evening. Keep up the good work!

[@illustratedbySade]

Hi Kara and Nate!! A few questions: how many bags do you guys travel with? Have you had the same clothes, etc for the entire time you’ve traveled or have you been able to take a break to switch out your belongings? Do you plan your trips in advance or are you choosing the next countries as you go? Lastly, do you have planned working/editing days in between your blogging days or are you just editing whenever you have a chance (ie layovers, plane rides, etc.)? Thanks so much!!! You guys are awesome!!!

[@karenmodestino8233]

Again another WOW video!!!! The quality is spectacular!!! Love you guys and your videos and your zest of life

[@MilDarkAngel]

Yay!!! Egypt is my biggest dream destination. I'm so happy to see it through your eyes!!

[@travelingaquanauts3137]

Will check out the Vagabonding book. Love travel books. Had to do the teaser at the end with that beautiful Maldives water again..Great vlog!

[@ElmodeensGuide]

Whyyyyyy :( come to Sri Lanka please i'm waiting for a video from you'll..

[@FireCracker3240]

I'm beyond sad to leave the Maldives... I mean, who WOULDN'T be, but man, I'm I excited to see Egypt! By the way... that lounge in Oman was FANTASTIC! The architecture was beautiful, and the tile inlaid floors were SO shiny, even in the airport near the gates! Very luxurious.

[@bb97000]

It is the new Muscat terminal just opened few months ago

[@jennymichelle81]

I can't shake the "they cooked us breakfast...it wasn't very good" .. I'd personally be mortified if I was them watching this video .. you're entitled to your honesty though obviously .. just kinda made me feel bad lol 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@jennawren1672]

Well, they are honest and I admire that more than lying to us about an experience.

[@4204-j4x]

I saw a clip of one of your vids on a advert break on TV here in the uk. Hah kep it up stay safe guys

[@Dounia_Nouar]

OMG he looks exactly like Cristiano Ronaldo

[@varmasai9]

You guys have changed the definition of travel vlogging!!!addicted to your vlogs!!!!keep the good work up!!!!love to watch your videos!!!!

[@cjtorretti7212]

U should go to Hawaii

[@XavierLeong]

I just uploaded my first travel vlog and I got a comment saying my girlfriend and I reminded them of you guys in your early vlogs and it stunned me, it was the nicest comment I've ever received because I am such a huge fan and admirer of all that you two do and I really hope that one day we will cross paths! Keep up the great work as always!

[@EntertainmentWorldz]

nice video

[@AnomalousChloe]

I'm just coming to end of a 5 week trip in Sri Lanka and I would definitely recommend you return because its such an incredible country! I also visited the Maldives for a few days while I was here and despite not staying in one of those fancy villas I was also very sad to leave haha

[@rish2891993]

Real life for Kara & Nate is traveling from Maldives to Egypt.

[@chankx3337]

I’m a Sri Lankan and i really love ur videos But u should definitely come to Sri Lanka and see the beauty Few recommendations are Ella, Kandy, Colombo and gall

[@ericbellins5092]

I was wondering do u still eat the food 🥘 if it’s not good?? ❤️😂☝️🥘

[@diannewi]

Whoa, the airline made a BIG mistake in letting you board without showing proof of your Sri Lanka visas! They could be fined, big time. Oops, the fly walking around on your breakfast toast. Only $25 for expedited arrival service AND transport to your accommodation in Cairo - what a total bargain. I hope you enjoy Cairo, it's going to be unbelievably hot. Get out before sunrise, tour, go back for a siesta, go out again late in the day. Good luck! I hope you take the train to Luxor, one of the great travel experiences on earth. Or a boat!

[@kaeseatravels6099]

Kara is seriously my style icon!

[@larissabarber21]

Egypt's my favorite place I've wanted to go there since I was a little girl

[@debbiekregenow6726]

Just curious as where you are. I miss your videos. I hope you 2 are ok!

[@joeymaloey9915]

I just fell completely in love with your channel! Such good vibes. Love it! :D

[@shubhammishra6242]

During your India tour, u should have visited uttrakhand state, u would have definitely loved it. Places like Nainital,bhimtal, Jageshwar temple etc and many more. Still though loved your vlogs on places u visited. I have been following u since ur India visit and it has been a wonderful experience. I wish u good luck on your 100 country travel tour. . . Regards from India🙂🙂

The ABC's of energy: Always Be Charging

[@Ashishsharma-hi1hc]

Hatsoff to you guys, you travel alot still in every video you both always smile without showing us how tired you are. Really love your videos. Its complete tutorial for anyone who loves to travel.. Thank you again guys.. :) :) :)

[@ssloth_1528]

Them editing skills are *crazy* good 😀

[@taylorrawson2975]

I’m SOOOO excited to see your Egypt vlogs 😍 I’m going there in November! I’m obsessed with you guys.

[@marleejohnson2402]

Y’all are adorable. I think it’s amazing you get to experience all this as a young couple.

[@lexykaltenbach6898]

WOO HOO!! I've been waiting for this video! You guys are so inspirational!❤️❤️❤️

[@KaraandNate]

Yay! 😁

[@mommymarine1756]

I love Audible. I listen in my car daily. I especially like that it's linked to my Amazon Prime so I get free things like Audible channels which I can listen to under wifi. Thanks for another great travel day vlog

[@JackandGabExplore]

That does sound pretty cool....how much does it cost?

[@fudge1153]

Love the video, but Nate the comment of "it wasn't very good", don't get snobby now🤣😣🤣...remember when y'all ate top ramen for travels on end!!! Now your in the Maldives and actually not pinching pennies....I'm sure alot of love was put into the preparation of that meal, sometimes if you don't have something nice to say well you know. I get it you travel and review stuff but there is a way to constructively say it wasn't the best, trust me we do it all the time on our food review Facebook etc. Like oh it wasnt something I was used to, or it was different, explain the actual taste. And for me if it was really that bad at least actually review the food....was it just me that had the sour face on that comment 🤔🤔🤔

[@effie-Toronto]

I agree totally with you shame on him they think they are above everyone else now

[@shelleyscloud3651]

100% agree that Vagabonding is an amazing book. Also to people not already on audible : GET ON IT!!!

[@JackandGabExplore]

Is it good to use? I do love listening to audiobooks

[@dayanmperera]

Why you didn't stay at Sri Lanka.

[@mansoureh]

Oh my god! Egypt after the Maldives !!! All sounds amazing

[@hawwahafeeza9673]

Omg... I'm from Maldives and I am sooo glad you loved it here😘 You both are such an amazing and beautiful couple, I love your videos......I JUST LOVE THIS CHANNEL . i am a new subscriber!!!😁😁😁😁

[@MoQambique]

3:01 This camera trick is called a trASSition effect in the vlogging world :D

[@iagonizante]

i literally laughed out loud hahahaha

[@MoQambique]

iagonizante :D

[@SpecTacularReviews]

At least someone noticed it 😂😂

[@benitok8515]

😂😂🙏

[@sanadr7167]

after the effect I was like and here where you can find paradise!

[@msdebagain1]

i believe i've now seen all your videos, but i had to comment on this one. you remarked that the breakfast the nice lady made you was not good. What if she saw this video? it broke my heart to hear you say this :(

[@doctorstravelogyandfoodology]

loved ur energy which makes ur channel awesome... love from india... carry on the good work... just subscribed ur channel...

[@MsKestrela]

know it was heart wrenching to leave the Maldives...the Soneva properties are just too perfect for words. Maybe you can get a chance to go to Soneva Kiri in Thailand one day... I would certainly count Sri Lanka and Oman as countries you've visited. If your passport got stamped, it counts! The little hotel you stayed at looked sweet, and the efforts by the owners were above and beyond. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you get up to in Egypt.

[@gerardacronin3095]

Stop everything! The latest Kara and Nate video is here! 🌎

[@JackandGabExplore]

Love this :)

[@ali-gv5es]

Since you guys are going to Egypt can you also go to Jordan? they’re near each other and Jordan has a lot to offer!

[@JackandGabExplore]

I want to go to Jordan! I hear it's an amazing country, and of course who doesn't want to see Petra??

[@212melc]

Thanks so much for the free audiobook! Downloading it now.

[@TheLiiisu]

i love your videos, great content! I have watched you ever since you guys were in my country (Estonia), I can't wait till you complete your goal!! lots of love

[@JackandGabExplore]

Love this! Do you recommend visiting Estonia?

[@vihangaherath9631]

Please come to srilanka to have a visit when it is possible. Trust me it will be awesome. 😃

[@thestressbuster1516]

It feels so good to watch ur videos... There are other couples too who post their travel vlogs but i m totally impressed by u guys... I initially watched 4 5 videos while u were in india and then understood ur on a big trip ao i went back from video number 1 and started watching everything. It was so good... I love ur videos..😀😀😀

[@John-co6mo]

Can't believe u said the breakfast wasn't good in the video sigh Rude

[@valcaryon3]

So honesty is rude now. Cool.

[@elguapo951]

John Petan honesty is what the people want to know

[@elguapo951]

John Petan if food tastes bad why would the lie to us and let you and your hater friends call the liers

[@scarletfluerr]

Honesty can be rude, it wasn't necessary to say it on the video. Thumpers rule...if ya can't say something nice, don't say nuttin at all.

[@jzakary1]

I travel internationally for my work, and I have gotten to that age were, if I have an extra-long layover, I'll drop big bucks to stay at an airport transit hotel, so I can get a decent nights sleep, and not have to go through customs/security again.

[@RobynKimberly]

I think I’d be just as sad to leave the Maldives! 😭

[@Lozaka4life]

Hey Kara and Nate! Literally I was super excited when I saw you were heading to Egypt! As I’m a resident of Egypt and I’ve been living there for 16 years, if you’d like any help or some cool places to head to/recommendations please tell me and I’ll send you my email!

[@husainali72]

Why the color of the sea near the Island is different from the sea which few miles away from the Island. It's a Beautiful place, Glad that I subscribed your vlog, it's like I'm touring the world from your Eyes :)

[@blizzardgirl1365]

I’ve been watching your vlogs for the past few months and now I’m finally up to date!! Loved the Maldives vlogs!! Now I’m just sad that I have to wait for new vlogs now!

[@georgezaharoff]

Great Vlog. I’m surprised they let you get on the flight to Colombo without a visa - unless they thought you were not leaving the airport for your connecting flight. Colombo has incredible hotels. Safe travels!!

[@maxk6522]

Thank you, I was looking for an insight into Oman Air but there aren’t many videos on the airline, this video was what I was looking for. Plus if came from my 2 favourite KZbinrs

[@XAVIER-xz4qn]

Those flies though on the bread at 7:25 I hope you guys realized before you ate it.

[@tlklhm]

It's very common and can kind of ignored the flies when you have been travelling and eating street food for a long time.

[@shanperera1485]

You must explore sri lanka.

[@davelester1985]

Those big seats on that plane don't look economy.

[@kylejonas3875]

Are you guys ever gonna to Israel? (Notice I didn’t say come cause I don’t live there, I just love it)

[@ines_uk]

Oman’s airport is soooo beautiful!

[@backpackerrocky5273]

you guyz are just awesome !! I've just searching for random videos in the morning then suddenly saw one of your videos & it's leads me to your channel the rest of it history...... I've watched the entire episodes over india, you guyz are soo full of joy, positivity.............kara & nate just keep smiling like this, god bless you two

[@sandybaum9345]

Watching your videos(&loving them) made me wonder if tipping at restaurants & airbnb's is the same as in the US.

[@jerzykovalskiy2391]

Hi Kara and Nate! I was watching your videos for the last month, watched them all:)) It was intense :)) Now I even feel strangely like you're kind of distant friends of mine and it's a pity you've already been to Moscow and I can't recommend you where to eat and what to see in my city:)) My favorite videos are about Trans-Siberian Railroad (because I'm always interested in how foreigners see my country) and about trekking in Nepal (because it's one of my dream destinations). A lot of your videos were really inspiring and gave me a lot of ideas of where I could travel myself (I've never been on a big cruise). So HUGE thanks to you for all good time I've spent watching your adventures! It made me smile and calmed me on my bad days. You just keep going! What are your plans for future travels? My last trip was to Georgia (country), it was really nice and tasty! Maybe you should come too?

[@dyhppyx]

You guys are so cool. I'm new to your channel but seeing some of your past adventures I have to give you major props for making the effort not to complain. It's so admirable especially in this time of whiners lamenting about trivial first world problems. Thank you for showing us how travelling respectfully and appreciatively can be done. I'm trying to be a fellow world traveler, having been to about a 100 countries too. If you guys actually read this and want any ideas for future destinations I'd love to help.

[@chandanawoodenfloors1597]

thank you for coming to sri lanka way short time came my country is very beautiful please come immediatly

[@youssrahmed4743]

Heyy i am Egyptian and i would love to see you in egypt i have been a big fan of your videos and i have a passion for traveling to

[@KaranSharma-qt1wx]

Hey what's your source of income how you manage your travel expenses?

[@horton174]

Forgive me for saying it, and I don't complain often, but you should never, EVER criticize the people who labor for you to whatever degree they do. Saying, "...it wasn't very good," was completely unnecessary and showed utter contempt and disrespect for those people who worked so hard to share their labors with you in their own way (breakfast). That was very discouraging for me to see. Shame on you! Even though you are very deserving 'award' winners, this comment was beneath you and shouldn't have been aired. I apologize for my dismay, but I thought you should know.

[@valcaryon3]

What's wrong with honesty? If it's not good, it's not good. There's no way around it. You'd rather they lie?

[@scarletfluerr]

Obviously you have no idea about good manners. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. There was absolutely no reason to add that. It's not like they had recommended a hotel and then discovered the food was bad.

[@dianeelaine]

I wouldn’t have even eaten it after seeing the flies on it.

[@ChasingTheOddShapedBall]

Seriously love your travel day videos, thank you for sharing your experience, it helps me so much when I film/edit my travel day videos. For me, it’s not the destination, it’s the journey you take.

[@KaraandNate]

Great to hear 😁

[@elleyoung4018]

I really dont like planes but something about your flying videos are just so homely and comforting

[@NoodleMeg]
