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” & 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. 😊🎥🌎

Anyone else excited to see how they survived on a deserted island!? I am AMPED for that video 😁
YES YES YES!
Sui
I CANT WAIT
Can't wait to see that video! 🥳
Can’t wait! I hope they make a few videos out of it or one really long one!
Hey guys 💛 If you’ve been following along on instagram, know that we officially SURVIVED on the desert island and are almost back to feeling “normal” 😂 Can’t wait to share this next adventure with y’all. ALSO one more huge thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of our journey and helping us get to this 3 million subscriber milestone 🙏🏻 We couldn’t be more grateful for you! 🥰 PS what do you think of the Jimny?! and the idea of us over-landing more in new countries?! Could this be van life 2.0?! 😍
❤️❤️You guys are amazing!! Thanks for bringing us along
Guys so happy to see you've posted this cheeky little video. Thanking you! So glad your safe and taking uson more incredible adventures with you both. Cannot wait to sit and watch. Take care xXx
cant wait for this video💪
Do a van life in Europe please!!! 😍
so happy for you two to hit 3 million! WOW! As an OG follower, I remember when you were hitting in the low 1000s! I knew you would be a hit! Congratulations to you both!
It's amazing how much effort & detail you guys put into your videos
Definitely! Although their videos back in the day were more real with no sponsors and fancy “tour and accomodation” videos. A lot of us OG’s prefer that.
they send clips to their editor...
Absolutely amazing bucks
Good
👍
Kara's editing is on point and her sweet expressions of gratitude do not get old. Nate bringing her coffee is very cute. This couple has 3 million viewers for those reasons and after their success they still take time to appreciate everything.
I think I heard somewhere in a video where nate said she used to edit but not anymore...
@@disha9876 🤣🤣🤣
@@Gracie_Griffendor2012 it's True. They've hired professional editors
So so grateful you were able to come to the wedding ❤️ And I love that you stayed after to keep exploring this beautiful country! Hope to have you back soon ☺️ Love you both!
your welcome
Congratulations @Raya and Louis!
Congratulations on your wedding raya and louis may you both be together for long
Pray that you guys stay together.
Congratulations Raya and Louis, I follow you too. I discovered and followed your adventures through your Kara and Nate vehicle swap 🤗
Wishing for all of you and ocean of happiness and good fortune in this new chapter of your life💐
“We’re going to become best friends with a Costa Rican family tonight, they’re going to cook us dinner and I’ll hold their babies” -Kara 2022 I’m dying of laughter 😂
I loved that, I laughed out loud, she is so good and pure and brings such happiness.
Was just about to comment that same exact thing. Kara’s happiness and joy is so palpable!
Reminded me of Kristen Wiig Classic! Hilarious! Made my day! :-D
Same. Hilarious 😆
I loved that too!
From a viewer who has watched for over 2 years, I just wanted to say there is no other CZcamsr who can put a smile on my face for so long while also inspiring me to follow my dreams and see more of the world. Thank you Kara and Nate for sharing your happiness, you deserve millions more followers to come! So cheers to 3 Million!!
Awww... Happy 3M subscribers!! I'm so proud to have been here for all the milestones... 80K, 100K, 1M, 2M and now! So much love to you as you continue to bring amazing and unique adventures to those of us who can't travel the way you do! You have made my life so much richer and I'm so grateful for you both! 🥰💖
Can we just appreciate all the work Kara and Nate put into their videos
Great work as always!!
@@passaporte_portugues Yes
Needed to hear that today. Thank you 🥰
here here!
I watch a lot of exploring you tubers. They are the most down to earth.
so rare to see youtubers glow up and thrive after so long, i’m so proud of kara and nate!!
OMG Kara’s happiness is infectious! Congrats on the 3 million - as one of the later subscribers catching up now, I can say you guys totally deserve it. I love your adventures and the honest and exciting way you showcase these amazing destinations. Also - side note to self - travel more and always bring spare keys!
ok
Speaking as a couple that overlands we laughed out loud when the zipper on the tent broke because ours broke in the exact same way! Also if you don't accidentally lock your keys in your vehicle you'll fold them up in the tent and realize it when you go to leave lol. Awesome video as always! Safe travels!
Can we all just love Nate for how he wakes up every morning and makes Kara a coffee ☕️
Sweetest thing ever
Keep going you guys ❤️
Agreed
I love the comment from like 100 videos ago where someone noticed her coffee hand woke before the rest of her. Makes me 😊 smile.
I love it 🥰 so sweet and thoughtful. I’d love it if a man did that for me.
Yes!
Dream lovers. They are goals.
It really feels like you guys are back in your natural habitat abroad! Love y'all😍
I love how Kara just gives free hugs whenever, its a vibe! 🙂 ❤
There are parasites in those waters, that can swim up your crotch, and go to your brain, and start eating it. Also if you swallow the water, that still can lead to parasites.
Hi
ok
Please keep us updated on your parents trip back to the US. I think it’s so cute to see them experience the same adventure you guys did
CONGRATS ON 3 MIL!! Just a couple kids who are living the dream life after deciding to pick up a camera for Japan 🤩 Keep up the amazing, hard work! Time is precious, wasting it wisely by watching your vids for inspiration and motivation🥰
I love how they stay humble.
🤙
Wasting Wisely 😆

You guys allow us to feel alive and explore the world through you - it's very much appreciated 🌍👏
So, I bumped over and binged your Everest Base Camp series, then came back to this vlog series. I have to say, I love Kara’s enthusiasm for regional flavors and dishes. I’m sure there are some that aren’t that great, but you’re always so positive about it. It truly shows your heart for travel and respect for the people. You guys are great. 3M subscribers? I’m not surprised. Keep it up!! Thanks for sharing.
I get so mad when my notifications turn off from your channel because then I look back at your CZcams homepage and see all these videos u made AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT- Keep up the good works guys, I enjoy your videos! Congrats on 3 mill!
Kara and Nate traveling again feels like my favorite show getting a new season. Love you guys ❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Same

Kara’s expectations from a shower are low. Her expectations of making friends while camping are quite high 😂 I hope she held a cubby baby
Kara is definitely me at the end…my husband has left the keys in the car multiple times “ ill take care of these” you guys never fail to make me smile ! I love you guys !! ❤️
ok
it's usually the moron wife who locks the keys inside.
I'm so happy the parents are enjoying their trip back with your van and having so much fun. 💗they are seriously too cute!
I live vicariously through you guys, I'm in my 50's now but this is something I have always wanted to do but never had anyone to do it with.
You guys bring me so much joy just by watching you enjoy a little bit of heaven.
Always enjoying the video's guys! This one in particular is special, I've always wanted to go to Costa Rica. In fact, I have a whole itinerary made for when it's time to go! 😂 Im in Brazil now but maybe this will be my next trip :) Love the content 💕
Do it, Costa Rica is a special gem! The people are so nice, the scenary is varied and amazing, and the food is great!
ok
It's too expensive
Loved this video and love you guys. Im so glad we got to hang out and connect. Next time you go on more Costa Rica adventures, let us know. We are so down for all the fun. PS. I saw an anteater the other day and went to go take a picture and it was gone!!! Those guys dont like the camera i guess haha - Kristen
They are sneaky!!!!! Can’t wait to come back and visit y’all 💛🌞
@@KaraandNate yes please :)
I love both of your CZcams channels so much! I am so exited to go camping 😅
The level of comfort and experience you guys have vs who you were 6 years ago is the definition of development. You guys are so open and chill. Can you imagine what Kara circa 6 years ago would have thought about getting a small shovel as a bathroom and now your like “awesome I have anything available at all” you live your life more privileged then most and more humble then most. Never lose the version of you that’s been found! xoxo
I love how excited Kara gets about the food and it’s always sweet how Nate brings her coffee every morning.
I love traveling vicariously through you guys. I always look forward to the next video !!!!!
Kara you are so cute! "I'm gonna hold their babies" is my new favorite Kara quote!❤
kara hugging costa rican police is SO quintessential kara and nate!!!
Always looking forward to seeing you two. Takes my mind off of daily stresses and world events. And congrats, glad I’m part of the K&N group!
Yes love the little off-road suv! Smaller and more capable to get to extra cool places. The scenery in Costa Rica looks insane and being able to enjoy that hot spring to yourselves is next level 😁 I’ve been traveling out of my Hyundai Tucson which is equally as small but would love to upgrade to something a little more off-road capable. My pup and I have been traveling around the southern U.S. filming our own adventures and are heading out to Montana for the summer
Ya lol
Where ya headed in Montana? It's so beautiful here!!!
@@cindysegar1426 headed out towards West Yellowstone but planning to explore a bunch out there!
if anyone sees this comment I definitely recommend checking out Over Wander Adventures ^^^^
@@okGDJ wow thank you 🙏 we so appreciate your kind words!
Congrats Ferris wheel Nate you've come along way, a well deserved three million. Love love love you two. Kara's joy and enthusiasm along with Nate's love of adventure and outstanding professionalism makes this one of the best channels on CZcams ❤🇦🇺
I agree 100%
I love Costa Rica! Arenal was beautiful when I visited. The volcano, hanging bridges, hot springs!
Costa Rica seems amazing! Congrats on the 3 million milestone, I'm so happy for you Lovebirds! ❤️
Can we just appreciate how much effort they put into their videos!
Thank you for making us all laugh and smile Kara and Nate!
i can see how much effort & detail you guys put into your videos. i love it so much, i've been obsessed with your channel forever:) congrats on 3m, couldn't think of anyone who deserves it more!!
I love your guys adventures! They are so fun to watch! All of the wild life was so pretty!
You guys inspire us to travel more! Your content is amazing❤️😭 thanks for taking the time to make such great videos #inspirational
Like 👍
Same here!
You are cool guys
i just wanted to comment and say thank you for doing what you guys do. being able to watch your videos always puts a smile on my face. your channel has also made my relationship with my dad stronger as we watch your videos together. watching your travel videos have inspired me to want to travel and be more adventurous . lots of love from florida 🤍🤍🤍
Ngl, Kara finna be the best mom ever. U too Nate. Yall should start thinking abt it soon.....
I have wanted to visit Costa Rica and now I want to go even more. The food looks fantastic, and I love the warm water spring
Hi I'm from Costa Rica❤️ Hope you visit soon!
Congratulations on 3 million subscribers -- very much appreciate the great quality of your work, excellent editing choices, and of course Kara's guided tours!
Every time I go on holiday I just imagine bumping into you guys in the airport! It is a dream that i have and will wait to come true 😀❤️
Kara is the queen of subtle put-downs (I guess she got it from her teaching years)!
She does it so nicely, it turns out to be a praise!
Wow,.,! Nate, I never realized you had freckles! By the way congratulations on the 3 million subscribers. I've been with you the whole way and I'm glad that I have been. You deserve the three million and then some. As I said before you have a way of taking us with you on your adventures and I appreciate that. Costa Rica is beautiful and I would take that tiny home on wheels then not go to Costa Rica. Kara, you're beautiful as always. You guys stay safe and have a fantastic time. I'm guessing next time we're going to see your fancy wave moves. God bless!
Ahh I’m so early! Love you guys!!
Looks amazing. Costa Rica is such a wonderful country
As a Costarrican, I love hearing Kara say Pura Vida :)
Yeah but the way they say arenal💀
OMG 😍 I've been following your channel for a long time and my heart jumped when I read Costa Rica. Happy to have you in my country 🇨🇷
I look forward to your videos every week! I’m so excited to see you guys going international again!!! I’m also (not so) patiently waiting for the island video! I just love seeing all y’all’s adventures! Sending love from Georgia! 😊
Glad you finally got to experience the overlanding life! I overland here in Canada in my Subaru Forester and have a great time!
Thanks for visiting my country and showing our natural beauties and delicious food.
Yay! Kara eating in a foreign land! Been a while! God sleeping in heat with humidity is awful.
I’m so exited for this! I’ve been watching for so long I was just thinking about what if they use a home on wheels! Keep doing what you do
Congrats on 3 million subs! Costa Rica looks amazing! Love that beautiful beach spot, and that hot spring river looked amazing! Have fun!
You are so authentic! I think I have watched everyone of your videos, kept track of you on social media and I can see little pieces of who you are off camera. Your real!!! Thank you!! Oh, and you truly inspire me!! ❤️❤️
That hot spring is the best. You can also go at night and bring candles to make it a romantic night. Don’t forget to tip the local Ticos to watch over your car along the side of the road while you are enjoying the hot springs!!
So excited for the adventures Kara and Nate! 💛
i have been watching yall since the first year you guys were on youtube. before I had ever visited another country. I started my travels last year and have been to 9 countries in the past 7 months, I was even in Ukraine when the invasion kicked off and as a result also got to visit poland!
thanks for the inspiration.
This is awesome! I went to Costa Rica a year ago, and you’ve gone to the same places I have! Thanks for bringing back awesome memories!
STOP BRO I"VE BEEN TO LA FORTUNA! It's such a beautiful place and that volcano is breath takingggg
Wooo! This was so much fun to watch, particularly as you were doing van life Costa Rica only a month after us! 😱🤩 We loved the Crocodile Bridge too 🐊 and just like you, we ended up at Don Juan’s camping for one (very noisy) night too. 😝 Unfortunately we stayed on a Friday night so rather than the noise coming from the wildlife, it was caused by the locals staying over and partying til all hours. And I mean ALL HOURS 😂 Big love and congratulations again on reaching 3 million subs…. 🎉 That’s an unfathomable number 🤯✨Xx Tania
Don Rafa? We were there and the dogs guard all of our tents for us but would bark if anything moved past a certain area.
But it was soo magical
Overlanding Costa Rica is a bucket list item for me! Love it, guys.
I live and was born in Costa Rica and this is such a good video that shows many places you can explore in Costa Rica. I love all of your videos and you coming to my home country si so comforting 🫶🏻❤️
Did Nate just say "PHuck" !!!! lmao 😂 🤣 😂 🤣
Congratulations guys, thanks for taking us on the ride with you
So glad to see you two still travelling!
Hey Kara and Nate! My family visited Costa Rica in December 2019! Although it was the rainy season so zip lining on top of the trees with pouring rain was a little inconvenient lol. Glad you guys are having an awesome time :)
Trending!!!! Yessss!!!! My favorite couple that I share with my family and friends! Congratulations to Kara and Nate!!!!!!!!!!
I wish I could also travel like this someday ❤ Take care, guys!
Y’all really should start off-roading, it is ALOT of fun, and legit off-road overlanding is even better. Love the content and great video!
Can't believe I've been watching you guys for 6 years. time flies! congrats on the 3million!!
At 57 years old, you two are the ages of two of my kids so it's been fun 'traveling with you two' like you're my kids too.
This was so fun to watch! I just visited Costa Rica in March with my family- and we went to all the places you guys went! Very beautiful country- love the content! If you have the time Monte Verde might be cool place to stop by! PS. Your in the clouds!
I hate it when I lock my keys in the car! Congratulations on 3 Million!
🤐🤯🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
I didn't fully appreciate how much I had missed these vlogs 😍 this feels like the old Kara and Nate videos and I can't wait to come to Costa Rica
That coffee maker is cool… I’m waiting for the time when Kara discovers cold brew.
Just a tip in Costa Rica you can camp on the beaches for free! Just be careful because you don’t want to get robbed!!! Also the beach has a nice breeze most of the time. It can be very HOT if your not in the mountains.
The quality and entertainment of your videos is so good! I learn so much about traveling and you guys are so good at engaging your audience.
Thank you for your amazing content!
I am so excited to see you two in Costa Rica! My wife and I honeymooned there and did exactly what you’re doing.
We returned in 2018 with our daughter and she loved it too!
This video is bringing back so many memories for us right down to the Jimney! I love it!
If you go near Punta Arenas I definitely recommend checking out Bahia Rica. Two words: Bioluminescent Kayaking.
So happy to see you guys are having a great time on your next international adventures!!! Your videos always make me so excited to watch!!!
The pictures of your family in their van adventure just made my day, they look so happy!!! ♥️
I enjoyed my short stay in Costa Rica a decade ago. Went to a national park rain forest area and so loved seeing all the birds and lizards and yes, the red poison frogs. I hope to return some day. Congratulations on your three million and counting, subscribers. You are the real thing and have an outstanding vlog!
Congratulations!!! Y'all are simply AWESOME!!! Keep traveling and taking us along! We Love you both!
Congrats on 3 million! So excited for you! I love how you got to experience a whole different part of Costa Rica by renting the tent jeep, I would never have even considered it but now I totally will. I love Vanlyfe 2.0, keep it up! ♥
Love you guys so much! You’re so hardworking and it’s so great to see you getting to enjoy yourselves in all these amazing places! Your videos never fail to make me smile😆💙
The “I’m gonna hold their babies” 😂😂😂😂😂 I’m laughing wayyy too much
Oh, those pictures of Nate´s parents living the life! I wish I could make my parents relax like that :)
i’m proud to be one of the “Third Million”
: p
but that was super-easy since you guys keep putting out such great content !
i must have first learned about you guys when you did the meet-up/collaboration series and van swap with Eamon and Bec (and Kinging It) in Canada …… which then resulted in you getting a new frig in your van, installed by Eamon himself ! Score ! 💛
Kara living her best life with iced coffee, 3 million subscribers, & a great camp spot! 😆👏😁❤️ love it! Congratulations!
Congrats on the 3.02 million!!! So glad the parents are having a blast in your van! Costa Rica looks wonderful as a travel destination! 💕 from Australia 🇦🇺
Wooo hooo! CONGRATULATIONS 🍾🥂
3 million subscribers!!!!!!
So proud of you two! Congratulations! I’m not crying your crying! ♥️♥️♥️
Costa Rica is awesome. We've been there twice (from Canada) and can't wait to go back. Hiring a guide for any tour is the best - they are great. They know where everything is and can get the best shots on some crazy animals. Thank you for posting your travels there and congrats on the 3 mill Subscribers!!
i love kara’s cute “muchas gracias” 🥺 she’s so sweettt
Y’all are actually so cool. Living the dream.taking risks.having fun. Traveling. SO COOL
This brings back total memories of Costa Rica !!! I’ve been to that exact hot spring- total nostalgia
