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 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!

can we just appreciate the fact that this episode is a literal movie in length like what?
We never purposely make them long….it just happens 🤷🏻♀️ glad you like it 😁
Petition for 1 hour long videos!!!!( dont care if it just Kara making her yogurt bowl for 15 minutes)@@KaraandNate
The longer the better with Kara and Nate!! Never too long!
@@KaraandNatewe are absolutely here for it!!! Love your videos! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Totally agree with this whole thread!!
Nate, this is NOT the most boring series, not by a long shot! The videos are brilliantly edited, the people you have around you are awesome and I am ever in awe at everyone’s enthusiasm and energy. Loving every mile of this journey.😊
Awwww thanks Gillian!! We have 2 awesome editors who brought this series to life while I was barely surviving! And we agree, this team is full of gems 🥰❤️
@@KaraandNate That transition when Kara is jumping out of the van and then suddenly she lands right in front of the camera - really creative! I had to slow it down to check it out!
@@KaraandNateyour editors do an amazing job keeping your voices/editing style throughout. Awesome team!
I love how supportive Bec is constantly of Kara and everyone’s achievements
Evie: “We have beer inside for you!”
Rick: “That's my daughter for sure!”
Love that line! Hilarious!!!
Love when they’re in the videos. They add so much depth.
Dusty and Rick are a HOOT 😂 - their sad see-saw while Nate was away had me rolling. Great job, guys. 💪
They nailed the filming while we were gone didn’t they😂
Where’d you go? Or were you filming your new daily drop? You two are always On The Go!! Wow.
@@dianegriffith3006They said they went to some sort of convention or meeting , and sadly had to leave for a few days. Glad they were able to get back on the bike though!
“Taste like punta cana” has me dying laughing 😂
Frankie saying "we have beer inside for you" and Rick says "that's my daughter for sure" 😆.
Rick needs his own CZcams channel his energy matches perfectly with yours 💗
I love how they call all the guys “the dads” and even though Nate isn’t actually a dad his mustache, funky shirts, and safety suspenders really adds to the the “dad vibes” 😂 ❤
Who else is so invested in this series and excited for part 4!!❤
YES!! 👍
Ummm this is part 4
I am invested that this over soon. I find it so boring. 3 parts over the whole trip, would be more the enough. I love alot of videos and Adventures from kara and nate. Loved the one with his grandpa so much.
But this biking series is getting way to long.
What omg I sincerely disagree I loveeeee the long series I wish more were this in depth, I wanna see everything!
@@pinkhope84 honestly no matter what video they make it's great!!
I'm really enjoying this and I can't wait to see the next one 😁
Rick saying how boring it was without you guys while going down a water slide is 10/10 comedy! I am loving the personalities on this trip!
Not sure why this thought has only just now occurred to me, but these two would be EXCELLENT for The Amazing Race!! They need to do it
Ye that would be awesome i think they haven’t been on it
I think that all the time. I feel like they wouldn't get picked because they are basically professionals.
They should do a season with all travel CZcamsrs
Yesss I’ve been thinking that for a while!
I'm generally a silent watcher, but I felt the need to comment on this one and mention how sad I am going to be when this ride and this series is over!! This is honestly such an incredible joy to watch. Much love to all 8 of you!!
8:03 the girls being so excited to tell the “dads” that they have beers inside for them was so wholesome!
Precious 😂🍻
@@KaraandNateThe girls are so sweet. I love how they always have such high spirits, and can always help cheer everyone up!
Watching the difference between Evie and Frankie is hilarious! Evie so chill and go with the flow. Frankie “this is what you’re missing..NOTHING!” 🤣😂
literally! and when she was killing the flies !!
as someone from the UK, I'm really learning a lot about the geography of the US - great video!
As a canadian, Ive gotta say that I appreciate you always converting to other metrics (celsius - meters) it makes much more sense to me!
And to the rest of the world too
Nate asked if we thought these videos were boring, they are not and we look forward every week for them! A little sunshine for cold fall! Hugs from Iowa you guys, keep killing it! ❤
Thanks for the encouragement 😊
@KaraandNate definitely one of your best series to date, you've both grown so much in confidence, its a joy to watch
Rick is an absolute gem of a human in all respects. "If he goes any slower, we're grabbin' on!"
Definitely NOT the most boring series! I'm feeling spoiled that we get to watch them one after another! What a fabulous thing to do, riding all the way across our beautiful country! And making such amazing memories for those two young girls while doing so - priceless!
I'm sure Sarah has her reasons for not wanting to be filmed this time around, but I really miss her. I loved her sassy comments and her honesty in past videos.
I miss her too! I am catching up on some of their old videos from years ago and I love watching Sarah in those videos. She is so bright, funny and encouraging. I just love her! Sending you love, Sarah!
Came to the comments looking for the Sarah love. Miss her too ❤
I love how Nate would bungee jump off Mars, but going over the speed limit on a bike is pushing it 😂 balance ppl balance😂😂😂
I know right !!!!!!. He's such an adrenalin junkie and constantly risks his life for the thrill. But at the same time he's Mr everything by the book. It's hilarious.
I've been watching this channel for years and this is by far my favorite adventure. Rick is a legend- he's so real and down-to-earth.
Love watching y’all’s adventures! “I’d turn back if I were you” sign was from The Wizard of Oz!! Fitting since you guys were in Kansas.
54 minutes .. wow.. add 30 more minutes and it's considered a feature film. Love you guys, thank you for inviting us into your lives
Are yall going to re-upload the rocky mountain park video?
Awww hope you love it 🥰
Every clip of Rick in the bloopers was literal gold.
Aren’t they awesome!!
Nate this is the most FUN series you have ever done. I love that it is such a LOOOONG Series as well!!! So Glad you finished the bike ride with (I hope) no serious injuries!!
Also my Geography of the USA has increased dramatically!! Especially since I dont live in the USA so anything to educate me helps!!
Long time silent viewer here and I want to make my first comment to thank y’all. I’m in the midst of a really tumultuous season of my life and this series has become something to look forward to in a time that I really needed it, your content has always been a welcome escape in otherwise dark times in my life. Thank y’all for sharing your life and adventures with us, the impact is further reaching and more significant than you may realize ❤️ may your travels always be safe and joyous
Those little girls are the cutest things ever. What a fun group you've assembled, I'm sure all 3.67 million of us would love to be on that trip with you all.
Aren’t they the coolest?!
We feel very lucky to be a part of it too. K&N bring out the best in everyone, it's just what they do!
I love the transition of Nate carrying the pee into the darkness and then rubbing his eyes the next morning.
😆😆😆
Omg right I was like I wonder if he watched his hands haha
Rick has me in tears every time he speaks. Absolutely hilarious
Have been enjoying watching your 3,000 mile bicycle trip. Brings back a lot of memories. In 1972 a friend and I bicycled from Davis,CA to Springfield, MA. on our ten speed bicycles. We headed out 2 weeks after graduating from high school. Just the two of us, no back up vehicles. Ended of peddling 4,000 miles in 60 days, went up into Canada for a ways. And flying back home in 5 hrs on a 747. Lol. Enjoy your trip, am looking forward to your next post.
Kara and Nate! My husband and my sister's husband travelled from the UK to do Ragbrai this year BECAUSE of your videos!😁 Now we're binge watching this series together... how strong do you think my chances are of getting them to sign up for biking across the whole of America with me and my sister in a support van?😂🤞🏻
Wow that is AWESOME guys ❤ hahaha never say never! I’d suggest doing it on your own bikes tho!! Lol
@@KaraandNateafter what happened at your ragbrai, that’s probably good advice
100%
I'm so happy for kara, challenging herself and taking on the role as Captain of the trandum! Have fun out there ya'll!
I’m from Kansas & have to say Frankie pretty much summed it up. “Flat, plain and windy” - yep, that’s Kansas! 😂😂
I can't begin to tell you how amazing this series is. Like I don't want this to get over...Everrrr..
This entire biking across America series has got to be my most favorite adventure I have watched of you guys. It's just so wholesome and down to earth. It's an adventure that is relatable. Keep up the good work, safe riding, and have fun.
Who’s ready to watch yet another amazing Kara and Nate video?! I really hope things go well for the rest of the trip and that you can reach the end of the trip in time!
Edit: Kara, you are an amazing singer!
Edit 2: I wish you were driving through my state so I could welcome you 😔 oh well! As long as you have fun, that’s what makes it great!😁
Me!
@@MavenCRKIn case you haven’t watched it yet- it’s a good one! (like literally every other Kara and Nate video!)
13:20 hey Nate, the helmet isn't going to do anything for you if its not done up, if you fall or get hit, its just going to go flying and not do anything to protect your head.
Those little girls are going to have the best memories
Kara really is like a character in a movie or something lol she's just so easygoing and wholesome, never get fed up watching your videos just a good vibe to them all the time.
Agree 100% !
I can confirm that she is literally like this 100% of the time, all day everyday.
Can we all just appreciate that this video is almost an hour long! I LOVE Kara and Nate's willingness to show us their adventures.
OMG, the sea-saw was the best!😂
I love that the Dads have coordinated outfits. Awesome!
How amazing has this series been!!?!!! 😍 and what could possibly the next years biking tradition be? 😱
Welcome from Kansas. I have lived here my entire life and you show me new cities that I have never heard of before. ❤ stay safe on the road.
“Not much. You?”
“Yeah, not much!”
That entire sequence 😂
Getting pizza at Casey’s makes me laugh a little. My oldest lives in the middle of no where Iowa, and Casey’s is the only place to get their Friday night pizza.
This has become my family’s new tradition every Saturday! Thank you so much for sharing your journey! ❤
Awww love that guys! Enjoy ❤
the fact i was smiling the whole time while watching this is why I'm obsessed with Kara and Nate and all the beauty the attract to their adventures!
That bike shop is less than a mile from where I live! I’m glad Jefferson City treated you well!
What a group, so heartwarming to see a family/friends that are so insync with each other (atleast onscreen) and so positive. "Addictive to watch" would be the phrase :)
These are some of my favorite videos. They are so down to earth instead of flying in First Class in some International destination.
I think Kara is having the time of her life! That Bakery & Pizza made my mouth drool. You're all having so much FUN I kind of envy you.
When I saw Dusty and Rick on the seesaw 😂 there very entertaining
"Id turn back if I were you" is a Wizard of Oz reference and given that you were in Kansas, it makes sense.
Maybe its just me, but you guys seem so much more relaxed with the friends and vanlife. Love this biketrip.
You guys (and the rest of the team) literally make me want to be a better human. Better to myself and my heath. Being more active, being outside more, getting healthier meals in, drinking more water, etc.
You are all amazing!!! And I’m going to make a serious effort to be more amazing too!!
Sending love and safety to you all! ❤ 🚐 🚴
I have watched for years of your travels. But from California traveling on your bike so far has been my best time watching
OMG I live in Missouri 30 minutes away from the bike shop. You guys are amazing!
I was a friend of Norm MacDonald here in Canada and actually worked on Dirty Work. Great channel, great series. My wife and I never miss it.
How can something so hard bring so many giggles. Thanks for the continuing view of our country in the fall. Gorgeous!
LOVE the Avocado Sunglasses....Keep the videos going...the longer the better!!!! Be Safe!!!
Hello from Kansas 👋 I’m from Garden City, where you stopped. Love watching this series. Glad you missed the Kansas wind. Hope the rest of your ride goes well.
Kara: “you’d think I’d be in Tennessee.”
Truer words….
I grew up in Missouri and moved to Tn when I was 21…this is my life! ROFL!!!
I don’t care for biking but holyshit I’m invested in this series 😍
I got scared when I got to the day that said “The one where we leave”. I thought they were leaving the trip! Glad they’re back on the bike and having a great time! Can’t wait for next weeks episode!
I'll never not be awestruck by Kara, seeing her absolutely killing this bike trip makes me feel like I can do anything.
Me and my twin 10 year old love watching you guys!! U rock!
The reflection on what you missed sections were hilarious!
Kansas is SO boring to drive across because it is FLAT. Seeing a cow is exciting.
who else was cracking up almost the ENTIRE time the bloops was playing😂😂😂
Ok now can you guys do this with the Colorado bike series. These are my go to videos when I have to get stuff done. I just have you guys on and when I get burnt out cleaning or working I'm just like "they're kicking butt and doing hard things everyday! I can finish my laundry". Love you guys
awesome segment; when you reached Pratt , Kansas my heart warmed a bit, as that is where my maternal Grandfather was born in 1906; he passed about 20 years ago , so it was nice to see the area where he was born and raised; can't wait til next weeks segment
I've always wondered how towns looked like at the center of America. Appreciate this episode, as I enjoyed the scenic views. Please stay safe, peeps. Those trucks are pretty fast. Love to see you cross the finishing line.
I’m on a bike packing trip in NC this weekend, but I still can’t wait to see this video! I’ll be watching when we get back home.
You no its a good day when you see an hour long video of Kara and Nate!
Kara & Nate, Dusty & Sarah, Rick & Family…
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!
🇺🇸😍❤🚲
Frankie needs her own channel. She's hilarious!
I love how the girls helped with riding the bike. Way to go Kara on riding in the front, and making it half way. Ya all got this. I also love how you kept "the dads" going Kara.
Ya know at a time when every time you turn on the TV, radio, news on your phone etc and see only horrible things like shootings . wars etc it's just so nice to tune into Kara and Nate and be a part of their crazy, fun, always interesting adventures. You guys are awesome.
You know what's better than a kara and nate video a 54 MINUTE KARA AND NATE VIDEO
It’s so nice to see the different states as you travel across. I’ve travelled to many cities in the US but this was kinda special ❤
A bunch of places in it I’ve gone to. Visited Greensburg ~4 years after the tornado. One spot 40 and again 42 minutes in can see a sign and I’ve been back and forth through these areas a bunch of times. I have photos of the store at 42:3
Surprised the route took those roads, there’s much safer options in so many of those areas aside from the bridges
Honestly Kara is so relatable I love her so so so much ❤
Frankie and Evie are like both my spirit animal!! They have amazing parents that are giving them an incredible gift!!
Such a great video. Thank you!!!
That unexpected clip from Billy Madison almost made me spit my coffee out 😂
Dusty gotta cheer on his lady 🎉.. Sarah's doing a great job!! Love seeing her in the videos! 😊
You have guys the best life. I love you both, you are bringing joy in my life with every video you make. Thank you! 😊
Me and my boyfriend just broke up watching you guys will definitely make me feel way better. And congratulations with the progress!!!!!!!! Love watching you guys too
10:57 the support to Kara's storytelling 😂
I grew up just north of Jefferson City, I live in California now. I’ve driven the roads you biked on so many times. We rode the Katy trail on Sunday afternoons. This whole video made me happy.
Love your videos and the challenges you undertake! From a former mechanic, please do the oil changes as close to the intervals as you can. Also, if the engine oil it too high it can cause seals to leak. They do not have a dipstick, so take it to a shop to get it looked at. Thanks for the great content!
Some people challenge themselves because its just the way they are built, to chase greatness. Love you guys keep it up.
You guys, thanks for posting these videos. Nate, when you said it's either going to be the best or the most boring video series.. it's one of the best! I feel like I'm there with you guys, while I'm at home washing the dishes. Lol thank you for always making us feel like part of the family! We love you Kara and Nate! ❤
Literally wait every Saturday for these long videos
I live near so many farms and the poo on the fields those few days a month are horrible I feel you Kara ❤❤❤
The mountains you have overcome already is amazing! The flatlands have got to be easier. Go!
If there was a way to hit the like button like 100 times I would do it, just so fun to watch you both each week!
I love how these videos highlight small towns. I just moved to Jefferson City MO, and the KATY is the best thing this town has to offer. PS- Steve at J&D bike shop is the nicest guy, he's fixed my bike for free a few times too! Happy Trails!
We were very engaged in the video. It wasn't long at all. Thanks for a good time. Harriet and Jim
Such an impressive journey filled with joy. I really enjoyed your whole series!
