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 ;)

It was so weird to see you in the UK, even though it was very brief! Usually you're in such exotic places and then here! Looking forward to the rest of the cruise videos

[@KaraandNate]

Haha love the UK!! Glad you are excited to see the rest :)

[@Sion.Ryan.Green.]

Kara and Nate I live in Greater Manchester, England UK and only travelled to Southhampton in 2016 then Bristol zoo then through Wales home. We travelled to London for the first time together on the 15th Jan 2018 to take our sin to Heathrow, who is currently Sydney Australia visiting his older brother who lives there, my second son. We are collecting him on the 30th Jan at Heathrow and staying overnight in a youth hostel near Saint Pauls Cathedral. There is a horse's guard parade every day at 11am where Princess Diana's coffin was walked through, where Charles out his arm around William under the arch tunnel. So we're seeing that on the 31st. Then driving back home after a day in London. I started watching your vlogs today after putting one on of my son's in Coogee beach in Sydney, then I saw yours at Bondi beach X X X Loved the part where you'd had a bad day and the fish and chips made up for it, then you spilled tomato sauce all over your top lol Great vlogs, how long are you travelling for?

Wow, how awesome! You know, I went on a cruise one time many years ago. I was sure that I would gain weight with all the food that I ate. Turns out, I actually LOST weight, due to all of the walking on the ship. I did a lot more exercise than I thought I would!

People say money can't buy happiness. The people that say that have never travelled, first class, oh ,to be rich and just travel anywhere at anytime. I have been on The Queen Mary 2, three times, too basic for me not enough fun , I have cruised The Adriatic , on The Costa Meditteriania, bad food , nasty crew, the best was The Norwegian Escape from Southhampton to Miami, 14 days and a Halloween Party on the ship, so good.

[@robertmorris2056]

SO EXCITED to have binged my way to this video! Over two years ago, a random search on cruises brought me to this video. Like so many, I fell in love with Kara and Nate, went back to the beginning, and now HERE I AM! If you're not a true K & N fan, you may not understand, but most of you will. 😊

[@fabulouslysmall7937]

Dear Kara & Nate, I want to thank you so much for your amazing video's. Due to severe healthissues I've been home- & bedbound for most of 11 years now (often years without ever being able to go outside, the years/periods when I have been able to, still not common/rare), but I've always wanted to travel. You are the best indirect way for me to do that and it gives me so much joy, you couldn't imagine what it means to me. Not just because of the traveling, but you both have such lovely, sincere, spirited & grateful personalities which makes it an absolute pleasure to watch you guys travel the world. For now just happy to still be alive and going through a long & intense healingprocess, for the future I'm confident I'll be doing some traveling myself, thanks to a string of miraculous synchronistic developments that are helping me do the impossible ;) (--> I've been doing much visualising over the years and I'm always being treated to the perfect something on my path at the perfect time. Things I could not have made up if I tried, and without any effort or looking for them. Even your video's came into my awareness in kind of a 'weird' way). Thank you thank you THANK YOU, for your great & positive energy, your very enjoyable adventures and the way you are sharing them. They are much more important than you might realize (but I can imagine I'm not the only one with a situation like this who's watching your video's, or similar or other reasons why it means the world to someone, so maybe you've heard this before). Save travels you gorgeous souls, much love, Monique

UK is very easy to travel in especially in London because there are so many ways to travel and so many places to go. It is also really convenient because many people speak other languages and lots of people know English anyways. It is all clearly signed so u know where u r going! I totally recommend going to the UK it is awesome

[@AnnaaDaniellee]

Aw at 0:50 Kara’s eyes look so pretty! So bright and beautiful

[@ExpatNatt]

There are loads of great cruises from the UK, I recently did the Norwegian Fjords, the ship was tiny and it felt so personal, we really became friends with the staff and was just an amazing experience. The big ships are great for entertainment but the smaller ones are better for culture 💗

[@billyframe5289]

When you can travel again you should come to Portsmouth! It’s just a little bit away from Southampton but it’s got some amazing history, Charles Dickens birthplace, the historic dockyard with ships like the Mary Rose and The Victory, forts which were used in wars! It’s full of amazing history! Plus I would be able to meet you guys and I love you both so so much!!!

I have NEVER seen Kara so happy and excited. This may be the series of upcoming vlogs that actually gets me wanting to go on a cruise - which, upto now, I've avoided like the plague! We'll see.

[@garethroberts2090]

I’ve been lucky enough to go on Azura on 2 separate occasions, back in 2010 (Azura’s maiden season) & 2013 (did back to back cruises) all from Southampton and absolutely loved every minute of the ship. Hopefully you guys thoroughly enjoyed it as well as it a truly amazing cruise ship

We found your vlogs while searching cruises a few months ago, whilst researching our upcoming 25th wedding anniversary cruise on board the Celebrity Equinox This November. I just have to express how AH-MAAAZEING you two are❣️ I’m watching your cruise vlogs for the second time and enjoying your photography/videography, information and the TOTAL professionalism you bring to each adventure. You guys rock. Safe travels and thanks for your awesomeness😎⚓️🛳

[@KaraandNate]

Aww happy anniversary! 😁❤️

[@hermionesmith3504]

I heard you say about you having to pay tips of up to £70. You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to, when you first get onto the boat you can go to the front desk and cancel all of the tips. If you do want to do tips in the end, you can pay the people you want on the last day whatever price you want. I hoped this helped you for your next cruise 😁

[@JaredHassell]

As an accountant, I pick up things. The repositioning cruise is so cheap because you're covering their variable costs. 👍 Win-win. They make some profit, and you get a great price.

[@lvthud]

Well here I am again, probably the 20th time i've commented on this video, but thanks again, when i'm feeling a little homesick this video gives me a reason not to be..... And it's taken me a couple of years to realize, the last week of November we were in Fawley, the small village between the oil refinery and the big power station on the starboard side as you sailed down Southampton water before turning right at Calshot.

[@RogersMgmtGroup]

The price on the cruise is not bad, but not great. Vacationstogo is a very good way to search for low cost cruises because they do the "per night" calculations for you and builds lists of sailings that are easy to look through. Twin beds ... they will merge them together for you if you ask.

There is SO MUCH to see in that area, and England in general. For example, bet you don't know about William Walker, the diver who saved Winchester Cathedral. You must come back and explore one day.
