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 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. :)

[@stahchild]

If I ever visit India I’m going to visit the comment section of any India travel video, because there’s a lot of really good (and repeating) advice from Indian locals. So far, the common advice seems to be: travel South India coz North is overrated; that there exists a much more modern and cleaner India to visit; don’t trust google to plan your Indian trip; that there are better trains in India. If i were to trust all Indian travel vlogs, I would assume India was a dirty, dusty, sad country but going by comments locals insist it’s not and that tourists are travelling to the wrong places so I still really really want to visit. Thanks for the update Kara & Nate. It’s been sad to see you guys feeling under the weather but you’ve managed to remain mostly positive in spite of this. Great work!

[@utkarsha6943]

Stallen North India is not overrated. In fact no region is overrated in India. It just depends on your preferences. Starting from the top we have Jammu and Kashmir which is a very beautiful place to visit. It's Kashmir Valley is often referred to as 'Paradise on earth'. Then we have Himachal Pradesh which again is famous for its hills, trekking, camping and various sport activities apart from providing natural beauty. Then there is Punjab which is known for its famous Golden Temple.Then we have Rajasthan, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh which are famous for it's forts and various archeological monuments. Gujarat a state in western part of India has some famous temples and the great Rann of Kutch. Then comes Varanasi, Haridwar, Rishikesh and Mathura which have importance amongst Hindus as places of worship. Then we have whole of north-east region which is completely amazing and serene like no other region of the country. There we have buddhist monastries, beautiful and clean locations and waterfalls that would leave you awestruck. Then there is Goa which is known for its relaxing beaches. In Maharashtra you can visit Ajanta and Ellora caves, Elephanta caves, Gateway of India and various other monuments. Apart from that there is Kailashnath temple which is an architectural wonder as it was carved out from a single rock that too starting from top to bottom. Then we have south India which is a nature's marvel. There you can find some of the oldest and magnificent temples along with a lot of beautiful landscapes. Some of the places are very calming and worth visiting. Kerela is famous for being known as 'God's own country'. So you need to first set your priorities and then choose the places accordingly.

[@stahchild]

Utkarsha this is such a great reply, thank you for sharing. India sounds so beautiful in your words and If I’m ever blessed enough to travel there, I’ll definitely take your comment into consideration when planning. I’ve been looking for Indian travel vlogs made by locals but there aren’t many around, if you have any recommendations please post them 😊

[@stahchild]

Hustle Loy thank you for the recommendations! Some of these places I’ve seen recommended many times elsewhere so they must be amazing!

[@utkarsha6943]

Stallen You are most welcome! 😊 I currently don't have anything to post but you can do a quick search on google and you'll find beautiful places to visit when in India. Prioritize what you want to see and you'll have an amazing trip!

[@someshredkar4253]

+Stallen Watch India Ghoomo videos. India is for all kind of budget and luxury travel. It depends where you go, stay and how you travel. If you travel in worst class in Indian trains and stay in shabby hotels like these guys then you will have bad experience. But if you can afford luxury or have little more budget then India has decent ways to travel and stay. In June this year new set of semi high speed trains will be introduced all over India. Currently we have shatabdi, Rajdhani and Duranto express to name a few. There are at least five luxury trains in India like palace on wheels. So the experience depends on your budget. Prime minister of India Narendra Modi has launched clean india campaign in 2014 which is work in progress. So by 2020 you will find a cleaner India Hopefully.

Pro tip: If available always choose a train which has 2 in the 2nd digit(thousandth place). eg. 12857, 12407. These are super fast trains and will be given track priority over others. Avoid weeklies and specials. Rajdhanis Durontos Shatabdis are rarely delayed. However all bets are off in North India during winter (fog) and festivals. Also, Love your vlogs.

Varanasi to Agra via Lucknow! That was one screwed up train route. The straightest route between these two stations is the Kolkata-Delhi mainline, via Allahabad, Kanpur and Etawah. This is the route which almost every local travels on, because trains in this route are mostly on time, give or take an hour. But the rail station on this line in Varanasi is on the other side of Ganga river, and is called Mughal Sarai. You guys could have saved so much trouble if you asked around which train station to search for while booking tickets! Tips for anyone travelling to Varanasi: Always use Mughal Sarai Junction as your railhead! Edit: also trains running on mainline have pantry service where you'd have all those people selling refreshments etc.

I have had no less than 40 overnight train trips in India. In my experience, a 2 hour delay is not unusual, a 10 hour delay is very unusual. However, I have found flight delays more prevalent. If there is fog/smog in Delhi, not unusual, it seems to really mess up the entire system. Highly unusual that there were no chai or food wallahs around. Curious why you didn't ask around or go to the main engine/ticket office. Just ask for chai or coffee and someone, even a passenger, should have an explanation.

Also before your next train journey, print the timetable...that will tell you how long the train will stop at each station...it can be as much as 30 mins in big stations.

My husband and I took a sleeper train to Agra. Loved it, we got upgraded to 2nd class AC on one train and shared a double carridge with an Indian family who were lovely. One other train we took we had window beds , which are narrower. A tiny man used to go up and down the train at breakfast and dinner selling tea from a pot bigger than himself. The tea was only 10p (UK) a cup.Also food sellers got on selling breakfast chilli omlettes and curry and rice at dinner. Very good prices. We ate anything local, no illness at all.Really loved the whole experince in India. Happy travels X

[@notthesamagain]

Except for @bailey Samuelson all the others seems totally alienated believing you ALWAYS have 1st class either option or the money to spend on it just cause you are a tourist. Also the main difference between tourists and Travellers are : the first basic wanna go to see the "Disney" version places , the second want to experience the place as local at least from time to time. Face it ..THIS is closer to more Indian reality than porsh "tour groups". 1.6 billion people .. nearly 26% of illiteracy and almost 270 million living under poverty line means 1st class isn't a reality and spending tons of money "just because it's cheap" it's almost offensive. Been there the same time as them and did quite the same except I did it solo and I'm a woman.

[@omshree2448]

@@notthesamagain bruh ! You guys always forget one thing that India has both of it's sides . If they are here for culture they gonna spend easy money . I mean 1$=65₹ ( aprx. ) . If they are here for local experience, well they already know too much about it back home from news stations or channels . Secondly, even the educated class of India doesn't travel in these trains ( I am not a butthurt but it's a general thing that every Indian knows that these local trains are meant to be late to lobby for express trains or tier 1 trains ) . Thirdly, I know that we have aprx. 270M extremely poor people but we also have a well and good middle or rich class that amounts to ~600M . I mean when we say India's 40-60% that's the kind of no. you gonna get .

People make the mistake of visiting north Indian states because Google says so. Honestly if you want surreal experiences you must visit the northeast or maharashtra or any of the south Indian states. North East is magnificently beautiful. Maharashtra and south India are culturally rich and more authentic. South India is way better organised, clean and punctual. Sorry you had to go through the pain of visiting north India. I also thank you for going soft on your opinion. Again, North India alone is not india, it's the less developed part of India.

Kara, do you have access to caffeine pills, i.e. brands like Vivarin, Stay Awake, etc.? I know it's not the same as sipping on hot coffee flavored with your cream and/or sweetness preferences, but they make the difference between total deprivation and getting the needed kick in the butt for energy/alertness. I never learned to like coffee nor tea. I discovered caffeine pills when I had to work 2 jobs to make ends meet. I've been keeping some on hand since 1993 (yes, I'm that old.}

[@silent3396]

The issue is in India train routes are very congested with no real upgrades to the network since 1990s and on top of that freight has grown exponential putting even more stress on the network. But things will be on time in future thanks to a separate freight corridor which will decouple it from passenger rail network meaning trains can arrive and leave on time. Its not a lack of carrying to be on time just that it is not technically possible to put more trains on those tracks without safety issues

Indian Railways (i.e indian govt) bears 57% of the ticket cost. So, we Indians compromise with those stains.

Akshardham temple, India gate, you know there are many things to do in Delhi. They preferred to play Holi in unfamiliar and unsafe neighborhoods. Staying away from the "better" places. As in Holi parties at huge grounds in cities. The thing is the foreigner reading this comment would probably be surprised to discover that (New)Delhi has one of the most dense metro system in the whole world. I know it sitting here in Surat, 1000s kms away from Delhi. Did they even used it once? I mean what Traveller in the world wants to visit slums? I'm Indian myself and I feel disgusted looking at all things they cover. Just being honest here, they only showed the worse sides of India. These foreigners are just being super humble in comment section. They didn't say anything bad. Kudos to these guys. I guess it comes from the unsaid rule of KZbin "Show people what they want to see in order to earn more subs and money". And as you already might be knowing disgust sells. Watch the video once again. You will encounter lots of statements where they actually are selling disgust with a smiling face. For instance listen to what she says as she enters the train coach.

Prasann Why should anyone feel unsafe anywhere in our country?? The tourists should be made aware of certain no-go zones that exist in every country. Other than that they should be able to enjoy safely everywhere.

[@shreemachavan583]

Prasann Kshatriya - I totally agreed. I really don't understand why they are only focusing on slum part of India... As a middle class Indian even I don't visit or stay at such hotels.

[@willryan8475]

i think the thing that sets you guys apart from other travel vloggers for me, is how truly genuine you guys are and how raw & real your videos are.

[@ericbellins5092]

Nate when you said it was a fly I thought it was a ghost behind you LOL 😂🤣😂🤣😅

[@angie23575]

This was one of my favorite experiences when I went to India. Some advice for others. Always take snacks! Don't accept food or drink from people on the train. Take a chain (I used a choker chain for a dog) and a padlock so you can put your bags under the bunk and lock them to the underside of the bunk. And don't ever expect the train to reach it's destination on time ♡

[@alkeshpatel8469]

True

[@d_dpo]

Really sound advice! We do the same here. Accepting food and drinks from people in the trains could turn out to be really dangerous. Many criminals operate by poisoning people or giving sedatives in food and then stealing belongings. Better to carry one's own stuff or buy things

[@aejae15030]

TRY TO MAKE ATLEAST ONE LOCAL FRIEND BEFORE YOU TRAVEL TO A COUNTRY. I think this is the advice I take from these vlogs.

Nato country Turkey has passenger trains that goes at 60 km/hour from Kars to Istanbul in 2 days time. Spain has built fast train railways and sold fast trains Ren Fe company from Konya to Ankara to Istanbul and Eskisehir Istanbul railroads only. Istanbul International Airport is the largest airport in the world. Sabiha Gokcen Airport Istanbul is very busy all the time. Turkey has only 3200 kms of motorways while Spain has 25.000 kms of motorways.

[@prasadjoshi46]

Hey guys I love your videos, a bit of advice for your future train travels. You guys booked train tickets for 14853 which is mail/express with no pantry car. Mail/express trains generally run slow and are notorious for delays. Next time while booking train tickets look for only express train with pantry car facility. Visit irctc.co.in for more details. I also want to thank you for promoting tourism in India with such positive mindset. All the best.

[@johnjosephdejesus8524]

Imagine the smell in that train

[@supremepower3901]

Hmm yeah it's smelly... But not always

[@hiyou4522]

You may already be done with India travel, but choosing trains in India is a science.

I love how Kara is so positive and smiling all the time ❤😍❤😍

[@meoviona]

I’ve never been interested in India, but now I’m intrigued because of your travel vlogs and the comments. Very contradictory. I don’t know what or who to believe and I’m very unsure if I want to travel there.

[@sumedhabhattacharjee4037]

Love how u both look at each other

[@ps8913]

You guys had selected wrong train with wrong class where food is not served. Take Shatabdi, Rajdhani, Duranto where food and breakfast are served with juice, tea or coffee.

[@Kaitlyn-lq9cq]

I love waking up to a new vlog! Makes my morning routine so good! I remember on your snapchat story with this train! Great vlog! You guys are the greatest!

[@KaraandNate]

Aww thanks Kaitlyn!

[@Kaitlyn-lq9cq]

You're welcome!!

[@tipndot]

Alwayz book trains with the starting numbers 22... or 12... these are much faster. Secondly, Get a indian sim card, download OLA cabs app and feel the difference, btw above video is from the poorest part of india.

Don't blame me, the notification came late. But forth anyways.. Haha

I’ve traveled in an overnighter in India. We traveled from Gujarat to Delhi in January and we are from UK so didn’t anticipate just how cold it would feel during the night. I barely slept, it was so cold. But we had a lot of fun there was about 14 of us 😂

[@jasonvigil7336]

I'm sure there are plenty of nice, modern, clean areas in India too, but the areas you've been travelling to sure look absolutely terrible!! I've always wanted to visit India, but I'm not so sure anymore...

[@divyasasidharan2960]

Jason Vigil read the comments for help or find a local person who has traveled to guide u, they r doing it.. I don't have words.

[@ruthiebeth1]

I'm from a small prairie city in Canada. My daughter and I have been to India twice (including Varanasi and Agra!) in the past two years, and travelled on our own, including an overnight train. We love India, and her beautiful people and can't wait to go back again. It takes me a year to plan and book everything, but you can't avoid things like train delays and a day or two of not feeling well. Accept it and move on, like Kara and Nate do! We also take antibiotics with us, and use them at the first sign of a stomach bacteria. India is not for everyone, but it is an experience like you will never have anywhere else, which is why we travel in the first place. Namaste!

[@52-prasannkshatriya84]

Yup you picked it right. There Definitely are plenty of nice modern areas in India. You definitely expect that in 6th largest economy in the world don't you? (India would be 5th largest economy by the end of this year) Being an Indian myself. I approve this thing, needless to say it is really disgusting at least for me to see the areas they are traveling to. If I would have planned my trip to Delhi and Varanasi, I would have avoided these places at all costs. I don't wish to visit slums if I'm out chilling. I would do that if I were to do social work. These guys seem to be traveling to wrong places purposely I suppose. But yeah train delays are normal. That's one thing that is correct btw. But I don't have experience yet of train that got 10 hrs delayed. Usually 2 - 3 hr delays are common on long distance routes for low priority trains. Indian railways has priority system where a certain class of trains are given higher priority than others. The ones at highest priority rarely get late and usually arrive at platforms earlier than planned time and leave late than departure time.

[@jithendranambiar7699]

No one visits india to see modernity or riches, it is a country of great contrasts be it weather,terrain, development or the people

[@rundy123]

You should try some super fast trains in Indian railways instead of the normal ones coz those are always on time, much faster, cleaner and comfortable! :-)

[@australia7527]

If we Indians have any problem regarding train, like unclean toilets or electronic problem, then we tweet the problem to @piyushgoyalsoffice. Within 15 minutes your problem will get solved. Guareenteed

Nope to this "road trip." Lol

[@arungandhi5612]

U have all the right to be complaining. This route is fucking stupid and trains are usually delayed.

[@MrApples9999]

Do try to spend a lil more money to get better more comfortable accommodation and maybe travel by executive class or first class in trains or better yet fly. U will face delays all over for trains. But agra has the best hotels y stay in such a shady one.

[@RailGaming09]

You should try maharaja express,golden chariot,deccan Odyssey place on wheel etc This all train are luxurious You should try that train

[@aashiknarayan6604]

Now, you truly have experienced the great Indian Railways!!

[@gayathris9203]

For anyone planning to visit India, just get a local guide or a local person you might know. As they say, if you manage to travel in India, you can travel anywhere in the world :) It is not sexy but it is real. All the bloggers out there have to keep it real like you guys. So others can make informed decisions :) Love your vlogs btw :)

[@mamtaraj8977]

When you take ordinary train to save money, dont complain of poor services. Its the habit of western tourist to go into slums and say "This is India"!

[@mohitarorasocool]

Really like your attitude, guys. Even us Indians, who are so used to such long delays, get frustrated while travelling on a train which has been delayed so much. But you guys kept your calm and were super cool about it. Pantry cars are available in most long distance trains. They offer meals and snacks at a pre-defined price (so there is no scope of cheating). It seems your train, unfortunately, did not have the pantry car. I saw your next video where you travelled 1st AC in Duronto. I am glad you did redeem train travel in India. :)

[@nileshkumar6816]

Oh lord how Varanasi almost broke both of you. 😔
