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. :)

[@tvjoshmancaf]

I’ve been a silent watcher since back in the days of your Tokyo travels, where you guys only had at most, 2k views, and were staying at creepy hotel capsule to save up money. But look at where you are now, having at least 100k viewers, staying at the best hotels, and still as humble as you guys first posted a video. Keep it up guys, I’ll always be watching every single one of your videos and Ig stories!

[@KaraandNate]

More like 2 hundred views! Wow thanks so much for sticking with us since then! It means a lot 💜😁

[@caarihantbaid]

"She edits the videos". No wonder they are so brilliant ! :)

[@michaelbouley4918]

Kara does an awesome job editing

[@FireCracker3240]

I've always known how much work and dedication goes into these vlogs. By Nate, for getting all the gorgeous footage and choosing all the locations we'll eventually get to see, and Kara, for getting it all put together in these wonderfully fun, informative and entertaining vlogs we enjoy regularly. It's never lost on me the time you spend on making great content for us. Thank you for all the hard work you do in bringing the world to us. Many of us may never get to see these places in person, so you are providing a wonderful service to these people. I'm so glad that you get to enjoy yourselves as a perk of what you do. It's the very least you deserve. ❤

[@czamman]

Somebody needs to make a montage of Kara's food reviews using no words...just the expressions on her face. Seriously there's a whole language in there. You can tell if it's just ok (with a polite twist) , ewww spit it out, pretty good, love it, emaciated love it, and orgasmic. All with no words, I love it. Btw I'm still catching up. Great work guys, enjoy 😁

[@KaraandNate]

Hahahaha I am glad you enjoy my silent food reviews! :)

[@heavenlylight317]

I think this would be awesome!

[@julievaillancourt125]

OMG.. I am soo happy someone else noticed.. lol. That would make a great montage! haha

[@TheBudgeteers]

This was a really cool video and shows the reality of what goes into this channel. Love y'all

[@CambodiaNomadTips]

Wonder if the Budgeteers are editing ''very very'' hard on their India trip? Emmmm......I was wondering :)

[@KaraandNate]

We love you more!

[@stu7572]

Talking about your first trip to Bangkok prompted me to go back and watch the first couple of videos when you guys arrived in Tokyo. It's so much fun to see how 'green' you were back then compared to now, snacking on random street food compared to snacking out of a 7:11. Thank you for putting in the effort to edit the videos, so that the rest of us can travel with you vicariously.😃

[@5alood1996]

The way you two look at each other is goals

[@FelipeWWoHP]

Never watch a Kara and Nate vlog on an empty stomach! You will get VERY hungry, lol!!! Loved this vlog, and how much you guys dedicate to sharing your process and the behind-the-scenes aspect of your work. It is SO hard to find that with the majority of everything in the world, to be honest! The newsletters and expense reports, everything is truly appreciated because it is truly fascinating! THANKS!

[@rochellerobnettracing1627]

This just happened!

[@julievaillancourt125]

Haha.. Sooo true.. I always keep food nearby when watching.. lol

[@jasonjoines4180]

Guys, I can't tell you how much I love your videos!! Well, actually I can. I have NEVER posted to KZbin before in my life - until now. In the past I have not really been interested in travel... but that has totally changed since I found your channel. And Kara, I don't know if you went to school to learn editing, but you do such a FANTASTIC JOB with them! Each one not only tells a wonderful story of your travels, but it so visually appealing! And the shots that Nate gets are wonderful as well. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

[@VolpeWhereAreYou]

we are learning the same daily routine! always seems only like vacation but it is WORK lol!! we love your evolution and how you share it!

[@amorson3035]

Love how the two of you radiate positivity and you are always smiling. You are creating an epic narrative of your lives. Be proud! Congratulations on the shorty award!

[@FireCracker3240]

I can't WAIT to see the Maldives videos!! I've always, always been fascinated by that place!

[@MG-ku3cg]

I always love how Kara looks at Nate when he’s talking!! Absolute goals 😍

[@julievaillancourt125]

Hi you two, I am a fairly new subscriber but have been following you for about a month. Watching you during the pandemic has been a saving grace. You are soo amazing! And you are truly living my dream. I am one of you ehmm slightly more seasoned viewers but am 20 year old girl trapped in the body of a seasoned grown up and I just want to let you know how much I love watching you and will be posting comments more often so that you know just how thankful I am to have found you! Sending hugs! Julie

[@simondlatham5939]

I work nights, and the highlight of my day is the notification about a new video, the moment I wake up 😁

[@mandischwab3407]

Your original Thailand vlogs are how I discovered you guys. It's been so fun watching you two these past 2 years. And because of your hard work it's given me travel tips for my SE Asia and Peru trip, SO even though your having fun, you're also helping other travelers along the way. 💜

[@lohosk364]

You guys are really on top of your game, I've been here since you only had like 20k subscribers and it's amazing to see how much you've grown and all the experiences you're having!

[@GDSTX]

Awesome - I have been here since the beginning! You have made leaps and bounds!!! Well done and congratulations on the Shorty 🙏🏼

[@rachelwhitehead6977]

I knew yall had a lot to do behind these vlogs....interesting to hear it all broke down. Love having this window into yalls life. Have fun...and i think I'd lean to Karas side and have to be pulled out of the pool 😉😂😂😂

[@rawbomagaj1811]

I like that even with the number of hours of work that you do, the smiles on your faces do not reflect that. And your positivity is infectious. I first watched a video from your channel a few months ago - the Trans Siberian railway videos. And then, just today, i happen to watch your video on the Shorty Awards and then this. Congratulations on your win, even though this is almost 2 months late. 😅Trying to binge watch. Lovely couple.

[@shinodbm]

It is always good to look back and be grateful for the journey. Hard-work and lots of efforts. Great work. Keep going guys

[@keoniheaston]

Hey Guys, Hello from Florida! I'm new to Kara and Nate and just wanted to say that I LOVE watching you guys! You're so good together....makes me smile. Thanks for providing great content. You always seem to answer the questions that come up with regard to norms and being culturally sensitive. What an adventure to be on with you!! Keep up the great work!

[@humanslingshots]

You guys have definitely come a long way. Keep up the great work and keep exploring.

[@heavenlylight317]

I can’t believe it has been almost 2 years since I stumbled onto your vlogs. Thank you so much for all work that you do for us subscribers and patreon members.

[@atomicgirltv9313]

I'm so hooked on your channel guys! I make a million excuses as to why I don't travel & watching your videos really inspires me to get with it and just do it! Thanks for showing us such amazing content!!!✌😀👍

[@benec5816]

Very good so light hearted think I remember the aircraft blankets or it might have been another place thanks heaps you pair you do an awesome job stay safe

[@dominicbone502]

Guys. I cannot express how much I love watching your videos. You’re both amazing and so happy you won a shorty. Very well deserved. I hope you’re able to keep traveling and produce these vlogs. You’re both awesome. Keep up the great work :-)

[@kimberlylane8922]

I have to say that this video makes me a tiny bit sad and it's totally personal in nature. For the past 5 weeks my husband and I have binge watched your videos from the very beginning and love you guys! Now that we have caught up I'm sad that our marathon has ended but we are looking forward to your next adventure! You have inspired us to visit places that we never considered before. Thank you for sharing with us and congratulations on your Shorty Award!!!

[@KaraandNate]

Ahh I know the feeling! So glad you enjoy our videos and feel inspired :) thank you!

[@Victorialmeyer]

Love drinking my coffee and watching you drink yours! The fact that you went from $10 a night to where you are now inspires me just about every day when I'm working on my business.

[@raisingruby9360]

I love your videos!! I’ve always wanted to travel & managed to only do a month of interrailing around Italy. Then I ended up starting my nurse training & had my daughter half way through (a surprise, but the best surprise) so I’m living my travel dreams through you two! Keep up the good work. It’s great to watch your older vlogs & see how far you’ve come. ❤️❤️❤️

[@andrewpawlowski8809]

Y'all are so southern, I love it! Being a southerner myself.

[@gayleswellness2225]

I've often wondered how all of this is done. Thanks for showing the perseverance and commitment it takes to bring us these video moments. Sticking with a passion can oftentimes seem like it doesn't pay off--but I guess it's always worthwhile to look back at where you came from so you can appreciate where you are now.

[@mlabes4564]

Yes! Still watching! and still enjoying! Thank you! Glad you can enjoy the fruits of your labor!

[@MsKestrela]

I follow quite a few travel vloggers, and it's always funny to see the comments on videos when they say, "We did some work...". As a content creator myself(on my other channel), I know just how much work goes into shooting, editing and uploading a single video! Your content and editing have rightfully won you your *first* Shorty. Keep up the good work!

[@pixelspeed3178]

I love Kara smile, make my day better or even better every time i see her smile and talk

[@agneser357]

So basically Nate is the pre-production and Kara in the post-production. :D Keep up the good work!!

[@derry9313]

OMG your on your way to 200k !! I swear it feels like you guys just tipped over to 100k. Well Deserved !

[@ivane5577]

Ive been watching your videos since you had about 1k subscribers, and I never get tired. :) / love from Sweden.

[@Udit22]

I just started watching your channel today and I just love the videos you make and the chemistry between you two is amazing. Also Kara is very cute.

[@aimeekettle4173]

I get way too excited when I see you guys post a video!! 😊😍

[@teejay4469]

I'm super glad I'm bot the only one who does this ..my hubby gets my coffee for me as well before I get up and of course it gets cold..I just found your channel so inspiring

[@rakeshv.]

You guys are couple goals! Yours is the first channel I have pressed the bell icon for!

[@KaraandNate]

WOOT WOOT we are honored :)

[@thethailandcelt8394]

Awesome job guys, what a great team! Congratulations on the award, I don't know where that fits in the timeline but it was well deserved.

[@latina3b]

I REALLY appreciate ALL of your hard work to put these videos together. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ you deserve any rest and de-stress time you take. Thank you 🙏❤️🙂

[@moonchildjess9648]

You guys are really living the dream! I feel super inspired by your videos! ❤️

[@josefinback3157]

I started following you when you were in Thailand last time, when I did reseach for our upcoming trip. You are my favourite travelcouple ever! :)

[@Boselfi]

I was so excited to watch your vlog! And I enjoyed it just as much as any other!

[@ishaanrehmani9208]

You guys are so genuine and so good! Congrats guys!

[@paulws58]

Either you two get along so well or Kara is very good at editing. I enjoy watching you two in all your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@farhangani2534]

Very good editing skills! I see that you have 174K subscribers, well deserved!

[@micah2767]

@Kara and Nate, Love your guys' videos! Keep up the great work. Love seeing the amazing places you travel, and the experiences you share with the world. Taking breaks to watch your videos are always one of the bright spots of my day.

[@robertahall4960]

Love all of your videos!! You two are a perfectly matched set. Thank you!!

[@MonishJohnson]

08:42 I am amazed how you guys where so calm and still kept the positivity despite knowing you f****d up with audio. If there would had been someone else then he/she would had thrown out the cable ( including camera too) out of window in anger. 😂

[@tylerarmstrong4293]

Just found your page and believe me, I appreciate the effort that both of you put into these videos because this is exactly what I love to watch :) thanks for inspiring me!

[@lindacurtis589]

So much work involved when planning a trip! I spend hours just on one! I haven’t done any video so great job editing Kara!

[@thepiddlingpicker6623]

Great job you guys!!! Kara you are the bomb with the editing....Nate you pick with all the prep work!! Just sit back and totally savored each moment.😍

[@alohaal9627]

Wow! It’s been 2 years that I have been watching you as well. Keep enjoying the process.

[@mmoves4603]

Just started watching today and already hooked!!

[@fookdatchit4245]

You both put ur heart and soul into. That is blatantly obvious. Thank you very much

[@CodyBuffinton]

My first ever trip on youtube was to Thailand for a month starting in Bangkok and that was 3 years ago so its cool seeing you guys head back there after first starting there as well!

[@manyasingh2544]

Thank you for all the hard work you guys put into your vlogs! They are a pleasure to watch and totally make my day 😊

[@marcustang6266]

Nate: "What we're gonna film that day to make an interesting video". I have been watching (and subscribed!) you guys since you first started out. Yes, things have change, and almost always usually for the better! Don't worry about us Nate. We Love the vlogs for KARA and YOU, no matter the content :)

[@garboliang]

Lovely. I love these chill videos just as much as the travel videos.

[@fredthorne9692]

It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it. And you both do it so well.

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Really enjoyed the “workcationing” video! So fun to watch! Xo. 😘

[@tiffanymitchell2071]

Hey guys mega Congratulations on your SHORTY AWARD!!! No one deserves it more🤗❤️ yow two are the first travel vloggers I'd ever watched

[@Alinekamiji]

Kara you are my inspiration for editing videos, you are the best ❤️

[@akak9314]

Kara is really gorgeous, cute couple😍😍 you guys are best😊 happy to be part of your family😊

[@VolpeWhereAreYou]

agree really cute couple, a pleasure to watch these videos

[@jmeister6022]

Research is one of the most stressful parts of planning a trip...not only the transportation and lodging, but also what to do while there. Also, great job editing, Kara! I loved your vlogs since the beginning, but the quality is noticeably more advanced now :)

[@maisie9867]

So awesome watching your channel grow! I've been here since 28k subs and can't wait until you hit a million!

[@marilync9271]

Great video! I appreciate all the hard work that goes into making these videos for us to see. Ya'll are the best!

[@BEAdventurePartners]

We LOVE watching your older videos! Albeit only a year old... A TON has changed since then! Keep rocking it, friends! - Brian + Erin Currently traveling Bonaire

[@markconyers11]

I hope you two keep this up for a long time because I really love your movies.

[@jimgreen9059]

Second breakfast? Nate, I didn't realize you're a hobbit. : ))

[@lisabagdonjones1950]

I thought that too lol

[@SteveYalo]

Excited to see your videos from Myanmar! :)

[@carolinebailey2943]

Such a sweet video! Loved the reflection on the last time y’all were there!

[@iphoukwani]

the lighting in the airbnb is amazing. airbnb goals.

[@cur92lyone]

You two are inspiring and positive beyond comprehension. You guys have no idea how your evolution to two successful YTbers after quitting their full-time jobs just instills a lot of courage in a person to follow their heart, and be bold!

[@jaydsh]

Looking forward to Bali vlogs a LO|TTT!! Im going there this summer and Im so excited to see what you guys do there!!!

[@alexandras4244]

also heading to Bali in June and checking all the sources for more info lol

[@ChrisYvonne05]

Been a loyal follower since the beginning... Happy travels ✈

[@lovepath777]

Kara, that ring at 1:12 is gorgeous! Thank you both for sharing your lives with us.

[@sabineeijsermans5555]

You do great work. Love your videos, and Kara your editing is so good!

[@hannahstewart4198]

Noodles for days! Bangkok was one of my favorite cities I have ever visited! You guys work so hard to make amazing footage!

[@lucyryan1176]

I have been waiting for this all week!!!! :))))) so happy!

[@Veronica-iv5pw]

Yes! Love it when I wake up and have a notification of a new vlog! Coffee in bed watching you guys 👍👍

[@subhojitsapui4960]

happy to see you back..☺☺

[@tinazozula2686]

Thank you!!! I really enjoy watching your videos!

[@hassanabdulrashid1580]

you guys got me addicted to your vlogs! keep up the good work

[@EmilyKorea]

We went to the Kao soi place a few days after you posted your insta story about it. We LOVED it and went multiple times while staying nearby in Bangkok. Now we are back in Canada so it is so fun to see the place on the video! Thanks for sharing!

[@KaraandNate]

Ahh so fun! Glad you liked it too! 💜

[@NLaertes]

Yep still following ;-)) great to see all your hard work pays off...happy trails✈️

[@meoww218]

Hey Kara and Nate, you guys can do a video on packing suitcases, especially on last days like these, when you guys travel from one place to other! It will be really cool!

[@TheWallaceReboot]

Just found your channel...I was supposed to be looking up tips on thumbnails and I wormholed, lol. But, i enjoyed a few videos and am hopeful that one day we can be having the same conversation you guys shared at 10:20! We are in month 10 of full time travel and squishing into the smallest/cheapest places we can find with our 4 kids. Definitely in the saving every penny stage! Hope to make it back for more videos, but you know...gotta go edit and plan our next couple of moves, find somewhere to live, plan some worldschooling outings, basically, I may never find the time...until I wormhole, 'cuz no beautiful pool outside here currently. Happy travels! ;)

[@tinchina85]

Congrats on the Shorty Award!!!! YAY!!!!!! I love the little clips you're putting in at the end of your videos. Love that! Stay safe you two because we needs LOTS more videos! :) OH! I just returned from my second trip to Cuba and was just wondering if Havana is on your radar. You would LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Like stepping back in the 1960s in many respects. Internet, however, is sketchy and you'd have to edit outside in a park (or edit after leaving) where there are hot spots but I've heard it's fast. I had internet in my airbnb apt but it was very very slow. My 5th floor 2 bedroom with aircon (and an elevator) was $45 a night and one block from the Malecon! Easy walk to Old Havana! Can't beat it!

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Almost at 175K = AWESOME! I remember when you had 40K last summer! So excited to see how you’ve grown! 💙

[@Saritm]

Props to Kara for her massive editing skills! real impressed!

[@lexiade]

I'm Nate, when I'm traveling with someone.. I'm the person who organize everything, transport, accommodation, food, activities, budget.. it's hard but I enjoy it

[@noahdg884]

AWESOME video again!😍 I am really really excited for the Indonesia vlogs! I am going there in July and I would love to know some food to try/activities to do! Love u guys

[@perdomot]

I got hooked on khao soi after your first video on it. So good!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Funny, I flew to Thailand in February 2016. Looking forward to Myanmar videos.

[@TritonTv69420]

So cool to see the other youtubers i like watching my favorite channels. Makes sense all of the travelers are watching each other.

[@alwayscleanalwaysneat9533]

Been binge watching your videos. They are awesome and you two are adorable. Oh and I’m soooo jealous!😁
