Who are Kara and Nate?!
Watch our documentary here: • 100th COUNTRY DOCUMENTARY
Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married 2013 and were super “normal.” I was a teacher and Nate started a small printing business from the spare bedroom of our apartment.
We discovered the world of “travel hacking” while planning our honeymoon & became addicted ;)
So after 2 years of obsessively saving $35k and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016 for a “one year” trip around the world.
Our goal was to see as many places as possible before we ran out of money and went back home to “normal life.” We started this travel vlog to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with living on the road and found a new passion for capturing our travels through video. So we did everything we could to keep going.
4 years later, we achieved our new goal of visiting 100 countries and all 7 continents. We had no plans to slow down, until 2020 forced us to ;) Which is when we bought a converted van to start exploring our own country for the first time.
After ~2 years of van life, we are back to full time international traveling! And now we are finding the best adventures the world has to offer :)
We are incredibly grateful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎 Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey!

Envy you. Your country is so peaceful. I never felt safe walking around at night but not in Brunei. I love how quiet the city is & how kind people are here. It’s the best place to live in. I can feel that people here are so happy to be Bruneian. I also met a Malasian who is a PR of Brunei, lives and works here, she told me how happy she is here. She feels very much safer than living in Malaysia.

Definitely not true , have you ever heard of dictators, tyrants, or other such oppressive governments?

[@MaxineShaw_84]

​​@@Malc180sI used to believe this was true until really digging into the mapping/gerrymandering here in the US. I can't speak for other countries, but there's been a concerted effort since our inception to discount the votes of certain demographics. Even if we had fair voting boundaries and no electoral college, the majority still doesn't represent _everyone_ . And as seen in our presidential elections, the count is usually split almost in half.

I love what you said Nate. The call to prayer made you feel so special not because it was a call to prayer but because it highlighted the differences and the fact that you get to experience a different way of life. Most people who are Christian might consider that a negative thing, you guys embrace diversity and other cultures and represent Christianity in a way that makes me proud to be a Christian! I strive to be as open, loving, and accepting as you guys are. You can’t put a price tag on niceness.

I'm not religious but was recently in Malaysia and enjoyed hearing it, it was kinda comforting and helped you keep track of the time. Even though it wasn't meant for us, we enjoyed hearing the singing and something different from the quiet back home

About 30 years ago I was working in dtwn Seattle and the Sultan of Brunei was in town for a meeting with world leaders. At the time I was listening to an old radio and the upper part of the dial would occassionally pick up cell phone calls. To my shock one of the calls that came through my phone was the Sultan of Brunei making dinner arranagements. I will never forget that accidental incercept and of course at the time had never heard of Brunei so I had to look up the sultan and find out who he was.

I moved to Brunei 🇧🇳 from the UK 🇬🇧 7 years ago. I would say the Government is one of the best things about Brunei, His Majesty The Sultan Of Brunei really seems to care about his people and I have met and spoken to him and his family several times. In 30 years in the UK i never even got close to my leaders and I don’t feel they care about the UK or it’s people at all. Imagine if we judged Americans for the decisions of their government, it would be a billion times worse. Brunei never killed or invaded anyone. The religion is very important in Brunei and I think it’s good they value traditional beliefs and the way of living. It’s a peaceful country, people are generally very friendly and there is very little crime or conflict. People are happy here. I find it insulting when western countries act superior and say negative things about how the people of Brunei choose to live. It’s not your country, if you don’t like it, don’t go. Personally I can’t think of a nicer better place to live. Do visit Brunei, they need the tourists and you will get wonderful memories and experiences here.

Travel blogging has been talking on another level by you guys!! And setting such a great standard for others💜💜💜

[@Mystikphobe]

This was much needed quality time with Nate, one on one between him and us. But I missed Kara and I hope she’s feeling better now. Bless you both ❤️

[@susanbrown5878]

What a charming vlog... Your love for Kara was so lovely. I love how respectful you both are to people when visiting their countries and culture. Good job Nate you were amazing being out of your comfort zone... Feel better soon kara ❤

[@tammyvincent9417]

I love geography and I have to admit that I've never heard of Brunei. Thanks for your video, because I like to learn at least one thing a day, so I'm good for the rest of the day, lol. Actually, I've learned my one (or more) thing for the day from your videos more than once.😊

[@lorilynn4269]

Great video! Love how you highlight the kindness of the people in this country. Thank you for sharing your adventures!

[@201hn]

Naaah I chew my ambuyat. It doesn’t really do much but it kinda re-size/re-shape it to fit my throat 😂 Plus been eating it since I was little. Never heard the “no chewing” rule among the family. Or maybe there was but I was little and didn’t care 🤣. Thank you for the visit. Glad you enjoyed your brief stay. Unfortunate Kara didn’t get to join your experience/adventure. But hey, there’s always next time 😁 PS: Nate mentioning, remembering Kara on every activity is 🥹💖. I want that kind of relationship. Much love! 💝

Wow, so cool to see this country and its people. So sorry Kara wasn’t feeling well. I hope she’s back to feeling great!! Love from Southern California 💗

[@minmin484]

Being in Brunei really brings me so much peace and comfort. Amazing air quality, sunsets, food, low crime rates and blessed with free healthcare/education. It's not perfect and we lack in a lot of things but I love it here

[@paddlepoop]

thank you featuring brunei, professionally and whole heartedly accepts it and what the country holds on to.. may you be bless, have a nice day

[@annabellegettingwell1531]

I hope Kara is feeling better. I love how you are willing to go to out of the way, out of the ordinary places. It’s very interesting to hear about the different details of the culture, architecture, religion, politics, food, daily living, (ways people use the toilet in diverse places) You guys never disappoint! Thank you

[@sandraadams4697]

Hope Kara made a speedy recovery, shame she missed the village, maybe you can revisit this place again. Love you vlogs, all the best.

[@dianaloewen875]

I'm sorry that kara missed on that experience. I really hope she got better fast

[@DoloresJNurss]

I just want to add that my favorite part was Nate's beautiful musing on the call to prayer.

[@NickkySoprano]

I lived here in Brunei for 21 years already. Brunei is a smallest country, clean and green and respectful people here. Very peaceful country and relaxing.

[@dangmusings.2589]

Get well soon, Kara! Brunei is also in my bucket list. I visited a floating village in Tawi-Tawi called Sitangkai. It fascinates me and at the same time, the wooden walkways terrified me.

[@ebonyloveivory]

I love how sweet, and especially respectful Nate and Kara both are. They are just like any ordinary folk but so astoundingly sincere and genuine. ❤❤❤

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Nate, GREAT JOB making this video with Kara being sick. I’m sure that definitely wasn’t on your bingo card for the day and you nailed it. 👊🏻

[@melissamatthias7750]

This is my favorite kind of video you guys make- where you show a new country- the people, the food, and how best to experience it

[@killianmiller8466]

I love the fact that Kara says love you too when fans come up and say they love Kara and nate. Most youtubers or influencers would just say "aw thanks" or "that's so sweet".

[@je.suis.eva.]

The other youtubers are being honest though. Can you honestly say "love you" to people you've never seen before? Can you truly love a stranger you just met?

[@ebennett7]

Of course you can.

[@sashaconrad3939]

What a unique country! I loved it all. I hope Kara feels better soon!

[@CoolKidsArmy]

I hope you have a great day ❤

[@adiraemilee]

I once lived in Brunei for 11 years and love it so much. Sadly, there is no way for me to get their citizenship. I had plan a visit for the Hari Raya next year, cant wait to meet HRH The Sultan again.

[@lindawoody8501]

Brunai looks marvelous. Glad you shared the beauty and animals and kind people with us via this video. Hope Kara feels better.

[@loritenwolde6432]

Amazing how you guys can get so much in your videos. Not just a small look at a few things. I hope Kira is feeling better. ❤

[@davidnelson4960]

Nate, I love the way you draw us in and encourage us to experience the journey with you. Great editing. Great job.

[@Jessicaaaaaaaa]

It’s a copy of someone else’s video. Sad they couldn’t give the credit. That’s capitalism I guess.

[@willowthestaffie545]

@@Jessicaaaaaaaait’s a travel Chanel how are they copying

[@becorations1]

@@JessicaaaaaaaaHow is it a copy? They flew there and filmed.

[@Jessicaaaaaaaa]

@@willowthestaffie545 by remaking the same video with the same driver, who can only be contacted via WhatsApp that Josie gave on her channel, and copying her intro and outro basically word for word. Plenty of ways.

[@Jessicaaaaaaaa]

@@becorations1 explained it in a comment above. They basically followed her footsteps and even got her boat driver and went to his home. The boat drivers can’t advertise their details in brunei because only government tour operators are allowed legally to tour tourists. Josie has his details in her bio. It’s almost the exact same video but she did the boat first and Market last.

[@mom2mmpt]

You two are gifted when it comes to meeting new people. The interactions are genuine and beautiful. I agree 100% that you cannot judge the substance of a country based on its government alone. Prayers for Kara that she gets better soon and thank you Nate for "filling in". :)

[@beige_ricaforte]

i love this community. the videos that kara and nate put out and the inspirational comments i read after. it's just so beautiful and endearing 🥺

[@Michelle_143.]

You all have grown and evolved your channel to be one of the most entertaining shows/platforms on the internet! Thank you 🙏🏽 ❤😊

[@nurfarahrosni5391]

Thank you for given a south east asia this level of respect. Hope you come back for more and don't forget to stop in Malaysia. By the way, In Malaysia, our version of: -roti john have either minced chicken or beef in the egg bater - pancake (apam balik) have crushed peanuts, sugar and cream corn. Some food stalls make other flavour as well like chocolate, nutella, etc.

[@akhairulam]

stayed in brunei for awhile previously. the people there and the food was what made it great! missed being there!

[@jm-skier6211]

I loved Brunei when I visited over 10 years ago! Such amazing people, so happy you two visited!

[@sackettfamily4685]

I hope kara fully recovered before the current survival challenge! And after 3 wks of barely sleeping trying to get my toddler to transition to criv, understand very well!! My bed feels like paradise.

[@jackiefontaine]

You’ve done so much for me when I don’t feel good I hope you feel better kara!!

[@rhondazappalewis3685]

Pray Kara feels better soon! Nate, you did an Awesome job showing us the scenery and customs of their country.

[@melissalow9557]

Loved this video. It’s always great to see how you interact with the locals and it’s what sets your vlogs apart from the rest. Hope Kara got better quick!

[@vrp406]

I hope that Kara is better.. I did truly miss Kara's presence on the tour. Nate you did a great job. Hugs & good vibes from Montana.

[@traceydoe1022]

Love to see that you are both always positive thinkers - never judge a book by its cover. Loved this video - I had never heard of Brunei. Really do hope that Kara is feeling better - take care of yourself.

[@user-lr6jc9vo5i]

This was such an amazing mix of the feel of your old videos, but with your new perspective. I loved it!

[@Noone-bw6fl]

Hi Kara and Nate, do come to Brunei again. You should visit Temburong, its a district where its mainly nature. Have a hike and go for a kayak ride, go to the longhouse and go to the tall tower and oversee the broccoli looking forest. Theres a small rock climbing activity as well. Its a nice experience. Visit serasa beach overlooking the sunset, its really nice. Also, you haven't been to the end part of the empire hotel where you can sit down and enjoy the ocean breeze. Also, visit one mall, let it be The Mall, Times Square or etc, just to get an experience of how different shopping malls are in other countries. Only on SUNDAYS, the city centre (town) of Bandar Seri Begawan, the roads are closed for people to run/jog/walk around town. Its Bandarku Ceria, its a platform for the government to encourage the people to be active and stay healthy. Theres a small animals exhibition, theres food and drinks stalls, theres vintage goods' stalls and its a great experience honestly. Also, go to one of the fancy restaurants (Kaizen) or any nearby restaurants in front of the Town's waterfront. And enjoy the scenery. P.S FRIDAYS at 11am-2/3pm, ALL shops in Brunei are closed for the Friday'prayer. I would suggest you to have some takeaways before the time and enjoy the nearly emptiness of the streets/roads lol.

[@Gigi_8087]

Love this! Never heard of the Country before. Nate you did great! Hope Kara gets better, missed her energy.

[@damiantrujeque]

Keep up the great content! ALBUQUERQUE New Mexico has nothing but love for Kara and Nate!

People are not their governments! This is also one of the greatest lessons I have learned from traveling and living abroad! I wish more people understood this!

[@andrewbenavente8314]

Been watching you guys for almost 5 years already and it’s so amazing to see all the new things you two do as a married couple and it inspires not only myself but a lot of other people in the world! Keep doing what you guys do and keep making great content 🫶🏽. Maybe one day you guys will visit my island Guam 🇬🇺 🇬🇺🫶🏽

[@AzlanSaid]

i live 3 hour from brunei and they are the nicest people on earth and the safest place you can be, western media always portraying anything about sharia law is negative, people living here are depressing, people are rebellious and so on but it is the opposite, people are happy here...thanks kara and nate for coming here...

[@mearle13]

Thank you for that intro. You guys have such a huge reach, it’s such a positive thing to explain to soooo many people who haven’t been fortunate enough to travel the world that, contrary to what you hear, most people in the world are lovely, accomodating, friendly and do not reflect what transient government is in charge. Can’t listen to the headlines….

[@christinebarr7687]

Great vlog. Loved seeing such a diverse country. Hope Kara is feeling better.

[@dmaextraordinaire8205]

I’ve never heard of Brunei, but it is now on my bucket list! They may not have the joy and magic of Christmas, but they certainly have a lot of it elsewhere. Thanks so much for this video. Edit: We sure hope that Kara is feeling better!

[@douniaben3706]

I'm not from Brunei but as a Muslim i know how it is going , you guys need to understand that we are happy even we are different from you , you have Christmas but we have our ways of celebrations we have what we called "Eid" after The month of Ramadan and another one called "Eid El adhha" and another things also , we don't drink alcohols it is not good and Haram that's why our god tell us through the holly book "Quran" thinks we should step away for our good that's all and very simple and doesn't mean that we aren't happy .

[@207LW]

I think Muslims and Christians have a lot of misconceptions about each other. There are millions of wonderful people in both religions. Sadly, there are some bad people in both too. But for the most part I think people on both sides try to be loving and kind people. I hope both faiths can find a way to co-exist in peace.

[@marul69]

I hope you do make your way to Brunei. The best time to come is during our National Day 23/2, Hari Raya /Eid (check calendar for this) and His Majesty's Birthday. Try and come on the weekend and experience Bandarku Ceria, our car-free Sunday in the capital city.

[@JulieIreland]

Prayers for Kara! Safe travels!

[@San1ty..730]

Love your videos! I have been watching for about 3 years now, and you always have some way to entertain me! I know you two are halfway across the world, and have been on a boat in the Bahamas, but you need to come back and experience the wonders and beauty on the mainland of some of our thrilling islands!

[@katherinemay5103]

I was lucky enough to have a layover in Brunei in 2010 and stay at that hotel the most luxurious one I’ve ever been in! And you are so right the people make a country. Loved it all 😊

So glad my favourite vloggers came to my home country! Hope Kara is feeling better now. 😊😊😊

So I’m a huge dork and every time I see y’all meeting fans I get emotional for those people…I would totally cry happy tears if I ever met y’all because I have followed you forever and it would be like meeting old friends. So if you ever happen to see me out, excuse me being a teary loser! Promise I’m normal and cool! 🤣 Feel better Kara! ❤ You did great on the tour for us Nate…what a beautiful hotel!

[@AlienQueen2000]

I did a report on Brunei in HS. I chose the country because I had heard about the Shari law stuff. I learned so much about it. It seems like a beautiful country.
