Who are Kara and Nate?!
Watch our documentary here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuFv4iF8wgg&t=1s
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” & became obsessed. 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 home to “normal life.” We started this travel vlog to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with this lifestyle and 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. Van life was a major adjustment and so different than flying every week like we were used to, but we are incredibly thankful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎

Yes! I wasnt expecting my two fav youtubers to come together! Love love love
The peas joke is 11 out of 10! Loved it!
Glad it’s not like the movie “30 Days of Night”
This video MADE MY DAY! I have watched BOTH of your channels for years! I got excited when y’all boarded the ice cutter ship. I thought you would do a collab then with Cecilia since your trip was extended in Svalbard. Chrisstofer and Cecilia need to join y’all on one of your trips as well!
Finally can’t hung up on Kara & Nate content !! Yesssss
Cecilia !!! Yessss I remember her from TikTok. Such a full circle moment 🥲🥲🥲🥲
So many typos in those “fun fact” boxes…
Colab with Cecilia? We love her!! Cecilia – we get your peas joke!! Who doesn't know the phrase "piece de resistance?" Come on Kara & Nate!
Great video! I love Cecilia's channel!!!!!!!
that was a great joke
The world travelers have never heard the phrase "piece de resistance"…you guys 😂
I thoroughly laughed at your excellent pun Cecilia!
I'd love K&N to make a video examining how they've lived 3+ decades on this planet without hearing the phrase pièce de résistance! 🤯🤣
How dumb and uncultured are Kara and Nate. Thick as bricks who do not even know what pièce de résistance is…
I like the new fun fact windows 😄💯
When are you two coming back to the US?
Did I see an Ice Maker in that Fridge ?
Cecilia is a big Swedish Valkyrie built like Yeti. Her partner is Hagar the Horrible. Nate & Kara are puny
I need to go this Huskie cafe
Thunderflash (Thunder and Lightning Signal ammo) is a type of pyrotechnic ammunition, that create a bright flash and a loud bang, but has no actual projectile. Basically a signaling firework.
I got the peas joke too and I’m American 😬
Absolutely hilarious that Kara didn't get a really common phrase. Love that Cecillia kept going and tried to explain it. 🤣
