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 โnormal.โ I was a teacher and Nate started a small printing business from the spare bedroom of our apartment. We discovered the world of โtravel hackingโ & 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 โone yearโ trip around the world. Our goal was to see as many places as possible before we ran out of money and went home to โnormal life.โ 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 ๐ 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. ๐๐ฅ๐

Scale of 1-10โฆhow likely would you be to say yes to the ladder? ๐ฌ
Still cannot believe that was ME up there๐๐ปโโ๏ธ What a rush! Hope yโall enjoyed this fun episode ๐ค
Iโm just watching this adventure and want to thank you for the totally awesome and crazy climb you did. I get to live this through you two.
Kara, you are so incredibly brave, you and Nate have to be the best support system ever. Thereโs no way I would do this now however in my younger I probably would seriously consider it, but 35 years ago it wasnโt on anyones radar I knew. Please do remain conscious of your limitations and remain safe. Sending love and appreciation for your U tube adventures! โค
Amazing!!!
Keira has balls of steel ๐ฎ
It would be cool if when you do something cool like this you put a sticker there of a QR code to your channel
All I can say is that was terrifying! Kudos to you both.
NUTS!!!!
Cool but do you have to go through all that backwards to get down?
Okay you guys are the bravest!
Omfg wow ๐ฏ no no no
hoq ar3 they holding the camera whilst climbing
that is crazy
that
that was so intense. You two are the real deal with these challenges. I wish you had a Kara and Nate sticker to apply to the cross even if it's illegal… lol. I am so proud of you. that is all. ๐
i have a nervous tummy ache just watching this.
I will never tempt the Lord.Sorry for me๐ฎ
All I kept thinking when ya'll reached the top was "You are only half way there! You need to get down!" I was so glad to hear Kara say that going down was worse. I would need a helicopter to meet me at the top to take me down. Good job guys! You're both incredible!
Just a happy mountain lady ๐๐
Oh hell no! There is no way I could do that. Bless yโall
I just love yours videos is so fun keep it up๐๐๐๐๐
I wonder how your parents feel watching you do things like this – probably proud and very nervous at the same time
You both are so brave โคโค.. your videos are more entertaining and adventurous than Netflix or Amazonโs Movies ๐ .. lots of love ๐ โค
Omg, I would probably faint while climbing ๐ฌ๐
The shots are amazing. The fact that Kara did this… Woww.
Hey, why dont you tell us better where you're at? And the names of Villages you visit there?… you didn't even mention its in Austria…
