Ok, firstly, I’m team Pad Thai all the way🍜 Secondly, those seats were amazing and I love that y’all got to sit across from each other and eat a meal together, on a plane🤯 Thirdly, Nate, I don’t travel but I still really enjoy hearing about the hacks and credit card stuff. I really like the Daily Drop and Mikes information! He stayed at that hotel not to long ago too!! Such a cool video, and I cannot wait for the India vlogs🤗🇮🇳 Stay you✌🏼

[@jackiegunter6001]

Kara and Nate y'all are the best. Watching y'all in first class doesn't seem pretentious (better than) so glad y'all enjoyed it. And watching Kara walk off the plane in the pj's was everything. Good luck to everyone who enters. Medical issues prevents me from traveling now. I'm a pancake person only because I don't like really spicy foods. I just love Kara's happy dance.

Kara and Nate, I love the travel hack portion of your videos. keep this up! I am subscribed to the drop as well. I have recently got into the CC game and also travel a fair bit domestically for work. With your tips and Nates ‘book’ read I was able to get round trip tickets from Wisconsin to LAX for my family of 5 with united miles. Using points for hotels, Airbnb and activities as well. Long story short with your knowledge our family of 5 will be taking a trip to Los Angeles , Santa Monica, and San Diego for little money in March. Thank you!

I want to travel the world so I'm learning a lot of tips from your videos. I'm currently homeless (displaced) because of a nerve injury but y'all have truly been the highlight of my days.

[@peachykeen6185]

Haha I love this and y’all!!! Have to keep reminding myself the tickets were $10,000+ each 🙂😮‍💨 but honestly couldn’t think of 2 travelers who deserve it more than you guys!! Y’all have more than earned it in my opinion. The videos y’all produce, edit, plan, literally dedicated y’all’s whole life to y’all’s KZbin channel which is AMAZING! The quality, delivery, editing just everything about y’all’s videos are incredible, honestly better than 99% of TV shows aired on tv or streaming apps, and WAY WAY WAY more entertaining!! Y’all have changed so so SO much since y’all’s first few years on KZbin, but in the best.way.possible. Never ever been rude to people, always humble, genuinely sweet and just all around good human beings. Which is so hard to find nowadays sadly especially in the KZbin community. But the little niche yall and other vanlifers/traveling couples have made are just amazing amazing humans. My life and depression got immensely better since I started watching y’all’s channel weekly and the other channels y’all have collaborate with. Thanks for another amazing video! Can’t wait to watch y’all’s next adventure! STAY SAFE, love y’all from South Carolina! ✨🤍

Hey Kara and Nate, loved the video. From staying to a small hotel in Bandra back in 2018 to staying at Taj, you have come a long way. Just curious how many subscribers you had back then? Also, love your travel hacks always. I still remember, you explained on that tissue paper, how you managed transferring points from here to there and then booking something else. It sounded Greek at the time and things are diff for India as well. But from 2019, I read a lot and learned and eventually this year managed to get Turkish Airline business class from USA to India for 4 of us in just 52500 miles one way each. You definitely planted the seed and Kara's reaction on Turkish was priceless and made me dream to be able to get once.

[@laurajohnson2450]

As I'm sure you've read now thousands (if not millions) of times, you radiate authenticity, warmth, and are so engaging to watch. Your editing/technical process has grown tremendously so props to that, but I keep coming back for you both - for the stories you tell, the ways you stay true to who you are, and for the zeal you project through the screen.
