We attempted to survive 4 days on a deserted island in Tonga with no food, water, or shelter…then we built a raft to try to escape! Check out Viator https://bit.ly/KNViator for your next trip and explore their 300,000+ travel experiences around the world!!

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” 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 channel 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!

So proud of you guys!!! You didn't just survive, you SUR-THRIVED!
HEY VIEWER! Fancy you own gratitude reset like this? click the link in description to join us for an adventure! 🌴🥥🔥🎣
Your parents rock !
My name is Eden
The love your parents have is a level of a relationship I strive for!!
I think everyone should get the "tattoo" made permanent to commemorate this awesome adventure!!
Nate's parents are amzing. I can see now why Nate is also so amazing. Kara just completes the bunch. I love you all so much. thank you for sharing!!!!
Your Adventures top any & all. These are memories you all will never forget! Great job & get some well needed rest and food & ☕😊😊😂❤
You guys are amazing. You inspire me to get out of my comfort zone and try new adventures. You both have grown so much. Just started rewatching from the beginning ❤.
Your sweet mama. “It was lovely” 🥺🥺 I love how positive everyone stayed!!
I don’t know why my first thought was “did someone burn a body on that raft?” 😬😆
To add onto the previous comments about the FAD. The big plastic thing would have housed a GPS so that the fishing trawler could find the FAD. Some of them are so advanced that they also have small solar panels that run a fish finder radar.
Both are amazing guys & you have more strengths for living in Desert , i am from Dubai
The editing in this video feels so similar to older ones. So relaxed and not trying to be too hype or attention grabbing. I love it. It feels more authentic.
You can see where Nate gets his positive energy and practicality from ❤
Sitting here in Bali in the Lost Creator House having an outdoor dinner and watching this. Could not be better 💚🌴
it’s amazing how you guys push your self’s to the limit just to entertain us thank you so much 😊
i wish i could try this but there’s no way my mom would let me do it 😭
That was awesome! Y’all did great!
Come to Ireland again
That is a anchor
Nate's parents are absolutely incredible and their relationship is as beautiful as anything I have ever seen ❣️❣️❣️❣️
Nate's parents are so nice.
Love that Kara is wearing her wedding ring during all this
Came to you alls channel from @kristinandjamil #kristinandjamil
Did any of you figure out how much weight you lost during this adventure with the limited food and water? Great video and nice to see all the positivity and love for each other from all of you!
bluey is a king fisher
ok so Nate us a carbon copy of his mom
LOOOVVVEEEE these!!! Awesome job Y'all
Your pivot to doing things everyday folks with regularly scheduled lives can't really do is a big turn off. It was so much better when you just visited the world and showed us around. Unsub'ed.
the whales are so beautiful
I don’t ever post on youtube, but I’m so proud of y’all. I’ve been watching y’all’s videos since you both started🩵🩵🩵!! And it’s even cooler that you live (when you’re not traveling 😂) in the same town as me. Many blessings from Gallatin/Nashville and of course all across the world❤!
Nice plug for the Pandanus fruit brush for getting sand off your feet and as a paintbrush ;D
🌍 Your travel videos have me itching to pack my bags and explore! 🌄🌟 I'm also on a mission to capture the essence of different destinations, and my channel is filled with the stories and sights of my adventures. If you're curious to swap travel anecdotes and discover more breathtaking landscapes, my channel is the perfect place to wander. Let's embark on a virtual journey together! ✈🎥
Very nice and informatives
HAHA the coconut bra 😂 love you guys. Good energy will attract good energy (Rainbows, beautiful sunset, etc.)
That was awesome, I think its so freakin cool your parents did that with you guys!!!!
You guys should go to Newfields New Hampshire next
Nates parents are so beautiful. His dad reminds me of mine, who has been gone for 12 years. It's just making me smile so big. You guys are stacking up such incredible memories. Tell them that we appreciate them!
You can see where Nate gets his positive energy and practicality from ❤
You guys Rock!!
Just made Kara's Peanut butter Ramen for dinner!! 1st time!!!❤❤❤
THANK YOU GUYS!
I would’ve threw together a trap and a spear and got a boar. Great video though!
😂 Why did it seem perfectly normal to see Nate in his skivvies, and the women rocking their island bikinis?!😅
