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: +Casey Neistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown, and any other talented travel vloggers that KZbin’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)

[@yanquiargentinizado7871]

When you finish with all 100 countries, you can come stay with me in Argentina and we can go to Iguazú Falls together. It's an amazing place!

[@suzieq4750]

Have you ever considered doing viewer polls? It would interest me to find what kinds of viewers you have ie. travelers vs. those of us (like me) that can only travel through your videos; demographic of those who watch; country suggestions. Anyway, hope you are getting some good family time at home.

[@justincampbell5249]

[@neddy97]

hey guys you should go to Serbia! The nature is so beautiful especially around the Danube river...also the food is amazing and its cheap 👌

[@GaryMcCaffrey]

I use my iPad as a second screen with my Macbook. I use a side mount clip to clip the Ipad onto my macbook, and use a duel screen app that turns the ipad into a second monitor.

[@sharkness100]

I love your videos!!! Fast forward to 2 years later and now you are finalizing the details for your 100th country party!

[@bobnease2]

80K!!!! CONGRATS!! And the Vespa Tour will be a ton of fun!

[@tally1604]

Put Georgia on the list. Not the state of Georgia, but the country in the Caucasus. Beautiful place. And the foodie in you will thank you a hundred times over for venturing off the beaten path and exploring this hidden treasure. They have excellent wine too. And the country is very cheap.

[@KaraandNate]

Oh it's on there!!!! We got a preview of Caucasian food in Russia and now we can't wait to visit!

[@nomadkcfan4403]

You've got that right

[@annika5790]

Georgia is AMAZING (especially the food but the mountains are lovely too)

[@dannylast8707]

the places you miss always give you another reason to go back and it seems thats what you both love doing..We just started watching you a month ago..and find you both entertaining and friendly ...Keep up the great vlogs.

[@melanieteitler5404]

This is so much fun to watch now that you have completed your 100 country goal and you are in Antarctica!! So much seems to have changed in 2 years. I love you guys, I’ve watched about 500 so far and I have 200 or so left to go!

[@stephaniegruenberg7044]

Yay Q&A vlog! Love them! I would absolutely love to do what you guys are doing (although maybe not full time), and live watching your vlogs!

[@msNightshade452]

Love when I catch your videos while I'm getting ready! My daughter and I love your videos!

[@KaraandNate]

Yay! So glad :)

[@belubozzo1585]

Its so much fun to watch this in 2020 after you’ve not only reached 100 countries, but ALSO been to Antartica! So cool everything you’ve achieved in such short time! Love from Argentina

[@MarkAmanda]

Wow, you guys amaze me! You have a spread sheet of the countries you'll be visiting up until Dec and we don't even know what we're doing tomorrow=/ Keep it up and enjoy the cruise!

[@KaraandNate]

That spreadsheet was very tentative, haha!

[@thomascrown3816]

Hope you're having a good break at home. These cruise videos are interesting - amazed wifi working!!🎄👍😉 ... oh, and CONGRATULATIONS on 80K

[@KaraandNate]

Thanks!!! :)

[@mrblou011]

For Antarctica I took a trip with quark expeditions. They run a great cruise from Ushuaia to the Antarctic peninsula and its a little pricy but worth it because u can also get a two day stop in Buenos Aires as part of the trip. Really easy and super fun.

[@elexusalexander9313]

And here we are in 2020 and now y'all are in Antarctica this year!!! All 7 continents goal completed!

[@leepagnini6273]

I think I am truly addicted to you two. I watch you in the morning, in the evening, and before I go to bed. The other day, I saw a woman walking away from me with long-shoulderblade-length-dark-brown-hair, and I thought, "you just wish you were Kara".

[@KaraandNate]

Hahaha 💜💜💜

[@Youpenga]

Aww guys! Thank you so much for answering my question! It’s so sucky there are so many places you aren’t able to go! But hopefully that changes one day!! Still so so chuffed you managed to see a tiny smidge of Southampton! Hope you come back! You guys are so kind, honest and genuine! I’m grateful for you guys and your incredible vlogs! Stay safe and sending you lots of Christmas Cheer & Happiness!! 😊💕 xx

[@KaraandNate]

Thank you so much!! :)

[@emilypietrantone8391]

Thanks so much for answering my question! I also love "How I Built This" and will check out the others you mentioned!

[@KaraandNate]

👏😁

[@ang_131]

Nate, you could have a second screen!!! Buy yourself a min-projector (lots on Amazon!) and find a blank wall. Also useful for watching videos when you're exhausted and spending the evening in.

[@annavoytenko]

It's crazy to think NOW FROM THE FUTURE that all goals and ideas you mentioned have already been completed! Great job, guys!

[@joelzylstra1205]

Going through your “From the Beginning” playlist and watching the new uploads at the same time. You mentioned North and South Pole and you just finished a cruise to the North Pole! How cool is that?!

[@tally1604]

Romania is an excellent destination. Really diverse, with both great cities and excellent nature, like the Danube delta, the last wilderness area in Europe. And I like their food.

[@KaraandNate]

It's on the list :)

[@ghiultena3712]

Great news , guys ! So happy you'll visit my country !🎉😘

[@stefantrandafir1099]

Kara and Nate Yay!! It would be awesome if you would visit my country!

[@tapesrolling]

Kara is so right about travelling on a budget - it does make you appreciate the experience, and you also feel small victories when you find great things to do for free, or bargains - like that really cheap food place you found in Hong Kong which tasted great. Travelling with a high budget can sometimes feel a bit fake and wooden.

[@easylife4588]

I love the D.R. It is the best. I am from there and live in NYC. I can answer any questions and help in any way!

[@marie-joseenadeau971]

Hi @Kara and Nate! Have you (in case you haven't) considered Canada? I am from Montreal, Quebec and in Quebec you would experience a different French-speaking culture within North America. Quebec City is the favorite and the food : poutine, etc. Furthermore, you can take a train across Canada for breathtaking views, from the Maritime provinces, the prairies, the mountains to the Pacific!

[@KaraandNate]

I am itching to get to Canada! We have both been, so we have counted it towards our 100 country goal. However as soon as we hit that goal, Canada here we come!

[@obligatorytraveler8292]

Going to try to keep travel flexible in 2019. We've been following you guys right from the first video so would love to celebrate 100 countries with you!

[@freedo668]

I really liked the sunshine’s smile both of u! l really loved ur channel! 1 million subscriber will be soon!😉Keep goin kara n nate!

[@KaraandNate]

Thank you! :)

[@lindat383]

Yay.... you answered my question! Love you guys 💗

[@KaraandNate]

💜

[@terrylittle4346]

My niece and I love you guys Thanks for all the great Information. You guys are so fun.. :)

[@Maxime_K-G]

I am so glad you went to Belgium, otherwise I would have never comen across your channel (I search for Belgium every so often :) ). After seeing the Brussels video I immediatly fel in love with your channel. I am always looking forward to the next video.

[@KaraandNate]

Awww yay! Thanks!

[@KakaTehPinguin]

Go to Jordan! I been there and everybody is very welcoming and the country has a lot of beautiful places to visit! And you forgot that you missed out on the ferriswheel :p

[@KaraandNate]

Jordan is totes on our list! Yes you are totally right. ONE DAY we will ride the ferris wheel in HK😂

[@adavelaar]

Watching this in 2020 is weird since a lot of questions revolved around what would you do in the future and you just don't know what the future holds. You can plan all you want but when life throws you curveball you just have to roll with it so loving the answers because you seemed to be doing that back then and definitely rolled with it this year.

[@george_8825]

Just recently discovered your channel. LOVE IT

[@KaraandNate]

YAY!!!

[@alysonsmokie]

I truly believe you missed out on going to St. Petersburg (after Moscow). I understand that it was inconvenient and unreasonable to spend extra, but you would have loved it!

[@stevesaysgo7243]

Congrats on 80k!

[@KaraandNate]

THANKS👏🎈

[@user-oj5gp2hv8y]

I think, you should make a vote about 100th country :) Love your videos!

[@earkid7246]

80K CONGRATS!

[@KaraandNate]

😁

[@damnimloomin]

It’s so crazy to look back and rewatch this! You guys should do a mini series where you revisit your top 10 favorite countries or i still think you should visit all of the us territories! :)

[@julieblackburn1535]

The reason I love your vlogs is because they are attainable.

[@No_name__11226]

Get a thin usb monitor as a second screen. I use one and it is powered by your laptop. Also it is lightweight and fits with my laptop in the same bag!

[@WawkaNaPisjune]

You two should volunteer for the upcoming Mars Mission😅

[@KaraandNate]

Kara and Nate go to space would be a great vlog 🚀👍

[@davincrawford912]

Kara and Nate internet may be slightly less responsive up there... But you are near the satellites... Hmm

[@MotochocoTv]

Davin Crawford not so near...actually our satelites are closer to earth than mars:)

[@rajenderrajender1360]

Motochoco Tv many satiLites orbit just near 350 kilometers more or less

[@koogene8739]

hehehehe cant wait

[@laadybee7752]

You said Caribbean and I just got lost in Caribbean vlogs, especially of St.Lucia (although I am from there). I missed you guys so much. Glad to be back. Now where did I leave of? Yes, Q and A!

[@shubhammishra2877]

India awaits you! Lovely couple 👍🏼

[@BortonMaverickNYC]

yay to road to 100! DR would be a great choice for many reasons. i have family in DR as well and close for most of your US viewers.. its not as cheap as Asia, but im sure you can find a low budget hotel for me when i celebrate with you... or you can go back to Thailand or Vietnam for your 100? or your new favorite country, South Korea.... i been with you since vlog #2, Tokyo.. that is so long agooo.. you been a part of my daily routine, it seems i been traveling with you guys as well.. congrats on the success and road to 100!

[@Starry305]

Dominican Republic party sounds amazing!! How fun would that be!

[@InternationalFeds]

Watching this in 2020, it was interesting to listen to you talk about your plans for after visiting your 100th country. As you rightly said, everything could change - who would have predicted COVID-19? But in true Kara and Nate style, you didn't let this prevent you from continuing to travel and share your adventures with us! Once you have achieved your van life goal of touring all 50 states in the US and international travel restrictions are lifted, I hope you'll find the time and opportunity to visit some of the countries on your list which you haven't been to before, and take us along with you.

[@pernillewarren8134]

I have followed You on antartic and it was my absolut favorit videos

[@mrcu8176]

We love you guys ! Your videos are awesome ! We would recommend Romania, Czech Republic, and Israel . My husband would not recommend any country that ends in " stan " , for security reasons !! Keep the videos coming !! Safe travels

[@mytraveldiary63]

Hi Nate and Kara ! I wish I had know about the trip to Italy next year

[@DK-vn7lr]

Now im glad i booked 2 days in Iguazu Falls in April. I was on the fence but we choice to slip it in between Buenos Aires and Mendoza

[@barb963]

Hey I found your vlog by accident now I am addicted thanks I can't stop watching thanks for taking me along I feel like I am traveling question do you ever get sick from the food

[@Tonyshandle]

Destination tips, not sure if you have been there already though: -San blas -Nuku Hiva -Los roques

[@madisonarlich7741]

It’s kinda funny watching this in 2021 seeing how much your plans did actually change and not even by your choice

[@lordtopcat]

Are the South Pacific countries on you list? Fiji, Tonga, Vanuata, New Caledonia, Samoa etc etc ... some really beautiful places!

[@KaraandNate]

YESSSSS😍

[@graceelizabeth7654]

You guys should host a meet and greet in a few states or whatever is best suited for the both of you!

[@Wafa21]

It just caught my eye you guys are already getting to 80K subs, seems like a week ago you just had over 50K. You are doing a fantastic job ont he videos!

[@KaraandNate]

Yippee! Thank you!

I’m sure y’all have answered this before but was wondering how y’all keep your clothes clean staying on the road so much. Keep up the great work!

[@listay1]

Garrett Hood going to local laundry. They do this in a few vlogs!

[@hamzawildlife]

Hey Kara & Kate, TURKEY Visa Issue is now fixed, you can go in easily. And actually the part you mentioned in the video was only about You could not enter with a arrival-visa, but a normal visa from council. Overall the whole problem was due to US put a sudden restriction and Turkey immediately followed the same measures in reciprocity principle. Now US lifted and in 10 minutes Türkiye did the same.

[@scottheaneyphotography]

A party in the DR would be pretty epic! Hope you guys stick with that plan haha

[@DANIELJRAINEY]

Do Cabarete in DRep. It’s a cool town on the beach

[@carynday7253]

Between you and another traveling family I watch the travel bug has hit me strong. Ever thought of doing something simple like all 50 states. We spent so much time doing other countries that my kids had seen more countries then states.

[@KaraandNate]

Amazing! We are really wanting to do all 50 states one day too :)

[@Lanttimatkat]

It would be AMAZING to join the 100th country party! I'd love to visit the Dominican Republic one day. Will definitely think about it! Love your videos. ❤ Keep it up! Lotta/Lanttimatkat

[@KaraandNate]

Hopefully it happens!

[@locomike1219]

Dec 5th is my birthday, so the DR would be a great joint party to celebrate!

[@ATaylor369]

Rick Steves says a tight budget puts you closer to the culture and will give you an overall better experience.

[@tobyghose30]

Hey, do remember that bringing drones into India is prohibited by customs. It's a strict no no. Even if you manage to get it through customs, flying it (especially in Delhi) is a definite no. You'll be needing special permission from they police etc etc. Hey maybe you can make one trip to all the countries where drones are banned (Dubai, India, etc) - Just a thought. One question - did you guys count USA in your number of countries visited?

[@HDWRIGHT409]

It would be cool when you guys get done with this 100 Country thing you start a zig-zag trip across America all 50 States in the U.S.A. Maybe visiting State & Fed Parks, old restaurants, historical places and so on. that should keep you guys busy for the next 5 years.

[@elakilic6482]

US and Turkey have lifted all visa restrictions since end of 2017. So you can put Turkey on your list again...I hope you could visit this beautiful country :)

[@selinawilson2872]

That's a great tan Nate!

[@mishtidoi02]

Plz announce before coming to India (Mumbai more precisely)...I would love to get a picture with you guys.....Haven’t seen a travel vlog like yours....and travel inspirers like u guys are....❤️

GREETING FROM INDONESIA :))) a new fan right here!

[@KaraandNate]

Greetings!!! :)

[@ralfginting7984]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@dfbrl8_r]

8:57 *One may take Drone to Dubai BUT it has to be check-in luggage with Batteries secure, be mindful of flying restriction and like any other country UAE has some regulations set in about flying amateur drones. Also, pictures can be taken but like any other country stay away from Military zones, or sensitive areas.

[@jimjaz01]

So I dont know if you have answered this one before but I am curious how do you guys handle cell phone communications while you travel? Do you buy a sim card in each country, do you have an international plan from your carrier back home, etc. Thank you and safe travels!

[@N495illithian]

jimjaz01 they have said in the past they use T mobile US, which offers free international service (texts and slow data) in a significant number of countries. I think you can pay extra to get it in even more countries, not sure if they are doing that.

[@KaraandNate]

Julien is correct! The international t-mobile plan is sufficient. Speeds are rather slow, but we have access to wifi majority of the time and it works in most countries we've been to. Way easier than getting a sim every week

[@nicimartin2987]

Omg! Are you guys still planning on doing the holiday in DR for your 100th country?? I've already been scouting out all the inclusive resorts because hubby and I want to go there 🥰😍

[@Jim.Hummel]

I haven't caught up with all your videos yet, but if you haven't made it to Northeastern Spain you definitely need to check it out. San Sebastian / Donostia is a fantastic city in an area filled to the brim with cool history and lots of nature. Right on the border of France, the Basque Country is sure to delight & fascinate. I have family there, so if you need contacts please let me know. P.S. Thanks for sharing your super awesome adventures!!!! Love what you do!!!

[@kt-xz6xw]

Here's one for you.... if you travel and you take prescription medications what are the laws about going from country to country with your medicine. What if your medicine is illegal or hard to get in a country you want to go to? Are you just out of luck? Could you get in trouble for accidentally taking it in to another country?

[@listay1]

Katie Lee Take it in the container labelled from the doctor. You can also take a letter from your doctor explaining what medicine / dosage instructions and medical reason for taking it. This is told to all patients who want to travel, by all travel doctors.

[@CaptureTheEssence]

Question!! Do you get a good amount of money from KZbin to fund travels or is it through other projects you have such as the guides and stuff?

[@michae8jackson378]

I’ve told you guys get a network tv show to continue galavanting around the world!

[@KaraandNate]

😍

[@Moira1309]

There is one screen that is a extra traveller screen to attach to your computer my husband has that as we are traveling also it is the Asus MB L169 it is the first portable screen.

Things you missed due to budget... what about the ferris wheel?! Still makes me laugh :’) Love your videos! Greetz from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@cameronlund5311]

Hey guys, love your videos! Question: what countries did you find to be the most/least expensive to travel in? My friends and I are planning a 14ish country northern European tour in April 2019 and we're wondering if we should add Iceland, but heard it was super expensive? Thanks!

[@MoQambique]

Hey Kara and Nate! Pretty new subscriber here since a couple of weeks back. I've got a question... What's up with you and coffee? :D Thanks for all the entertainment and love your channel!

[@jimmyopinsky6100]

can you guys go to Cuba before the laws change. I know alaska airlines last flight is January 22 from lax!

Hello Kara and Nat. I regularly watch your videos. I am from Reunion island a french overseas department in the south of Indian Ocean near Mauritius island.

When will you guys eventually make it to India? Should definitely do a DIY street food tour in Mumbai. The list of must-try things on the streets is endless - vada pav, pav bhaji, pani puri, grill sandwich, chinese, Dosa just to name a few.

[@petercleaver8035]

Hi Kara and Nate. Fantastic cruise, Have you heard of the eighth Continent. Zealandia. Most of which is under water and New Zealand being the only exposed piece at present. Have you been there? I also saw you on Niki and John blog. Take care.

[@listay1]

Hi Kara and Nate, thanks for answering my question! Love the info you gave and love watching your vlogs. I came across you guys whilst searching for travel ideas and have now watched every Vlog you have made. I look forward to seeing them pop up on my you tube! Have a great Christmas and can’t wait to see the new vlogs :)

[@KaraandNate]

Thanks for asking! So happy you like our videos :)

[@SuperCOCOPANDA]

Is Canada on your list of countries to visit? If so please visit Montreal and Quebec City. Montreal has more to do and is usually referred to as the most European looking city in North America, but Quebec City is only 2 hours away has has some cool historical buildings too.
