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!

Nate's parents are troopers. I can only imagine Nate's imagination as a child. Christie and James could start a channel called the Nate Chronicles.
Lololol this is a great idea 😂
Yes to the above
100 💯 agree! Total Rock Stars! Nate you look just like them too - and maybe inherited their sense of adventure. ❤
if they did I would 100 watch all of their adventures and i would love for Nate and James to bike the Colorado trail that would be amazing
Maybe Christie and James need to do a series on van life! 😊
I’m only 4 minutes in and I have a feeling Nate’s dad is going to be so much better at this than Nate and Dusty were last time! He’s climbing those palm trees like a pro and the two sticks with ropes to get coconuts down was probably his idea. Such amazing parents ❤️
Cuz he’s a southern boy
Actually They discovered that way to get them down in the first video they made but I’m still pretty sure that yet Nate stats probably going to be a really good asset in the team and I think they’re definitely gonna survive and probably thrive on this beautiful island
@@Boats_N_Hoezyou’re so correct 😂😂
🤠🤠🤠🤠
The accent and humor of Nate's dad is a pure joy to watch
"the ground has gotten a lot harder apparently"😂 28:45
I just love Nates parents. Their personalities are definitely where Nate got his.
You have no idea how long I have been waiting for this video! Visiting my beautiful Motherland, Tonga 🇹🇴 🤍
Both my Tongan Grandad and I will definitely be watching this together, this one is special. Love you guys x
❤🇹🇴
Nate’s mama is so stinking cute!! So proud of y’all! Can’t wait to see the rest! Kara, I love when you do all the things and are proud of yourself because you totally should be!
Wish I had this relationship with my parents truly a blessing to have these two in your lives especially doing something like this shows what a family you have happy for you all thank you for this amazing content from Nova Scotia here !
It was a pleasure getting to hang with you guys and your parents! Great job on your isolation!! Hopefully we cross paths again soon!
Hi Kara and Nate, I'm thirteen years old and love you guys!!!! Thank you for being the coolest people and so inspiring. God bless you!!!
Your parents are champions! I hope they take a luxurious vacation after their survival experience!
I was beginning to think Kara was my spirit animal, but I'm certain Nates Parents havetaken on that role.
THese guys (Kara & Nate included) are just the best, love everything they do,honestly, thankyou covid for closing the worldtwo weeks after I found their channel
I love both of Nate’s parents, but his dad-has me cracking up 😂😂 he’s so great
I recently watched your interview on The Unplanned Podcast. I enjoyed the entire interview, but there was one thing that impressed me the most. When they asked you which country you felt had the friendliest people, you mentioned the Kurds that you met in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. I recall in one of your earlier videos, Nate had jokingly asked you if you would like to visit the Middle Eastern countries ending in ‘-stan’, knowing it was outside of your comfort zone, and you fervently answered, “no thanks!’ Seeing how much you’ve grown through your journey and your unwavering respect for all people, while disregarding the vast cultural, political and religious differences from where you grew up, is just one of the reasons I adore and support your channel. You both are genuinely good people and are a rare, but perfect example of how social media influencers should act! God bless!
I love the way Nate always encourages Kara❤ mom and dad did GREAT 👍
I adore the parents! So glad your families are willing to be in your videos! What a lovely bunch you all are. I saw this video but then put off watching it to savor it later on. It was worth saving! I need to start over again and watch this channel from the beginning with my kids.
Your parents are real troopers, Nate. I hope there was a reward afterward for their efforts.
Cheers to the Buchanan tribe! I love seeing James and Christie again, they are truly amazing and inspiring. Its easy to see what an example they have been to Kara and Nate. Thank you for taking us along on another great adventure.
We loved this video! ♥️What really impressed us is that Nate's parents were open to doing such a challenge, even with their massive following. You all have such incredible courage. I hope to learn from your stellar content creation and positive family values. Wishing you continued success! Let me know if you have any tips for an aspiring channel like ours.😃
I know right? My mother is 84 now but I know for certain that she has never, in her entire life, slept in a tent.......never.
Wow, watching your journey through the 96-hour island survival challenge in Tonga was truly inspiring! Your determination, resilience, and teamwork in the face of such difficult conditions were amazing to witness. Your vlog not only showcased the beauty of the deserted island but also highlighted the importance of survival skills and resourcefulness. Thanks Kara and Nate for taking us along on this incredible adventure!🎉❤
Your mom and dad are such good troopers 🥰. A lot better than last year for you and Nate.
I don't know who is behind this and if Kara is still editing the videos but it's getting better and better! Fantastic job from the editor! Looking forward to the next parts! Love you guys!
I think they have an editor now
I say this with total love, respect and admiration ....
You guys are totally crazy!
Couldn’t be 4 better people to do this challenge.
Thanks again for another cool video 💞
Aw Nate your parents are gorgeous. ❤ lovely to see them sharing this adventure with you and Kara. If you hadn’t taken that first flight years ago they wouldn’t be experiencing this now.
It’s beautiful to know that what you two have been experiencing and accomplishing over the years has also brought your family and your friends such wonderful experiences that they might not have had otherwise. Xx
So cool , so proud of Nate’s parents, for being nuts enough to do one of your crazy challenges, and I’m so happy I get to watch you all make another wick video … ❤🇬🇧
This is my adult version of Saturday morning cartoons.
❤snhd
you guys are so inspirational! I am 13 and you guys have made me want to travel the world and do van life. I didn’t watch a couple of your last videos so now I get to watch a ton today! Whenever I am traveling or in the airport I always try and keep my eye out for you guys!! Safe travels😊
What nate and cara does is just pure love, so adoring.
A smile from ear to ear the entire video.I. am so happy for you both! The growth is everything:)
Fantastic memories you're making together! ❤ Congrats on your successful survival skills 👏 👌 🙌 Nate your parents are wonderful, so down to earth and such troopers for being willing to explore this challenge with you and Kara. 🌟
I love Nate’s parents! They are so awesome for doing this with you guys!
Sooo heartwarming seeing Nates parents, such great people. Like the all of u are! Love you K+N and love every video!
I love this series! You guys are so brave to do this. Can’t wait for part 2!
🤗🫶🏼
Nate’s dads dry humor is great 😂 But honestly what awesome parents and to be able to share these memories together is so cool for y’all!
Impressive start! Practice does help plus Nate’s father’s construction skills, N and K’s previous experience and all their hard work (not forgetting Nate’s mom) really helped!
I've always been so inspired by Kara and Nate but Christie and James!!! Wow! I wanna be as active and supportive as they are at their age!! so inspirational
I just love Mom's Tennessee accent. As a woman of over 60 who tries to keep active but has had some health issues causing setbacks in the last few years, I am so happy and envious of seeing Nate's folks out there doing this. I just hope when my ordeals have eased I will be back out there with a pack on my back. Not in survival mode. Just a simple camping weekend. That is all I'm asking anymore. In the meantime, here is my inspiration.
I’m obsessed with ur videos I’m so grateful for your content! ❤😊
You guys absolutely killed it. I've been watching "The Island" and not one of the groups ever covered all the bases on the first day. To be honest, they did have to trek to find a beach and try not to get lost. I've also not seen one with the innovation to make the coconut retrieval method so seamless. Nate's parents are amazing and raised a wonderful son. Stay safe and God bless.
"Just a girl and her machete" said by Nate's mom may be my favorite part of this video haha
I love you crazy kids!! Dads not crazy about being filmed..Mom is ignoring is Bliss! Which ai love!! My Angels!!
Thank you!! this video made me forget for a second about the fires in my beautiful home Tenerife, Canary Islands. You all stay safe out there and Kara&Nate you guys rock 🤟
Awesome! Loved it and can't believe Nate's parents got included. Good for them. Waiting for part 2. 😊
Two times that Tom Hanks in the movie Cast Away popped in my head watching this. 1, was when you were drinking the coconut water and Tom talking in the movie about how coconut water is a natural laxative as he's going behind a bush, and 2 was when Kara started a fire and Tom was celebrating on the beach waving the burning palms around, singing "come on baby light my fire" and bragging to himself about making the fire, and I expected that scene to pop up after Kara was celebrating making her fire! lol! 😅
kara seem to be the nicest person on earth, i wish i had the same positive energy if i were doing this survival i would hate it and be so down on myself. keep up the awesome content you guys!!
Yay!! I’m a Tongan American and have watched y’all for so long! In January 17, 2020 I had an amazing, second chance of Life with having a Kidney Transplant and was wearing masks before it was required. Y’all as well as other awesome CZcamsrs was what I was watching in the hospital after my transplant surgery and it always brought me hope that I’ll be able to do more things with my life even Travel! Though I personally am a home body it’s so inspiring to see others journeys and have that help me want more in my life. So Thanks you guys so much for the amazing Videos y’all make! Much ofas to y’all and to many safe travels too! (Ofa means love in Tongan 🇹🇴) 🤍🇹🇴
How you all enjoy every situation and that only comes from love and true care! Kara and Nate, thank you for letting your parents share in your adventure! Very few younger people of today make their parents part of there lives and you lead by example ❤luv you guys ❤️
Your parents are amazing!! They seem much younger than 60.. I can't wait for the next upload!
OMG!! Nates's parents are awesome!! Talking to the camera like they have been doing this forever.
Nate's parents are awesome! This year's survival adventure seems to be going so much better than last year's. Can't wait to see the next episode! 🎉💞
I'm surprised you guys are doing the survivor thing again, but pleasantly so! In my part of the world, it's standard to learn how to survive in the woods; we all learn how it's done in middle school.
The annual 7th-grade camping trip then the next year, the dreaded 8th-grade survival trip lol the only tools we can bring are whatever we can fit into one of the smaller-sized tin coffee cans; w/ fishing line wrapped around the outside and holes poked into the can itself so the bottom can be used as a cooking surface. Just place the fire on the ground, put the can upside down over the fire, with the bottom facing up, and as long as you have holes in the can to let the smoke out, the flat bottom heats up and becomes the cooktop.
I can't help but think how much more fun it would've been w/o having to worry about the damn cold & rain lol
I live in an Alaskan island town called Ketchikan, nicknamed the First City because it's usually the 1st city one comes to when traveling to Alaska by boat or plane. My island town is located in the middle of the Tongass National Rainforest, the largest national forest in the U.S. and it's a cold-ass rainforest; a temporal one, not a tropical one, so we're always wet around here. Owning lawn furniture is silly & pointless because if it's not water-proof it'll get ruined; and if it is, it's always going to be wet and no one wants to sit on a hard, wet surface. It doesn't stop raining long enough for anything to dry out outside.
Wow! Amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Your parents are amazing! Cheers to you all! It’s like a trust fall that last 4 days! The teamwork is killing it! Yeaaaaaaah 🔥💜💙
This was such a great video!!!❤ My only complaint is that I wish it were longer. Such a beautiful island and I love that Nate's parents have come along with them❤
Look at ya'll go! You're way better this round. Well freaking done!
Thank you!!! Tonga is a bit more forgiving in many ways 😄🙌🏼
It’s just so cool to watch you guys challenge yourself to the limits. Thank you for bringing us along.
I really enjoy watching this video. Nate's parents' survival skills are amazing. Will definitely watch your next video. :)
Ive seen every episode and season of US Survivor multiple times but never once knew how they split the palm leaves haha... Great tutorials (cordage, bow drill etc) along with the actual survival aspect! Go Kara for starting fire by herself as well as Nate!!
You guys are literally superheroes!!! Kara better be spoiled after this😂😂
I'm lovin this series. Nate's parents are so cool!
I cannot believe that Kara and Nate decided to do this again. Didn't seem too long ago that they were flying in first class in the lap of luxury. They want to show everyone that success has not made them soft!
I’m loving Nate’s parents you guys need them on your channel more! Can’t wait to see the rest! Love you guys!
AHHH ICE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TO COME OUT FOR SOOO LONNGGG IM SO HAPPY ITS HERE NOW THANK YOU KARA AND NATE AND NATES PARENTS!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ this will be one of those videos I watch every day and never gets boring 😁
The thing you found at 2:16 is the electronic bits that hang off the bottom of a weather balloon. It collects weather data and then sends it back down to the ground via radio. Normally they're recovered and reused, but this one probably went farther than they expected and landed in the ocean.
I love seeing survival island videos from Kara and Nate!!! SO MUCH LOVE AND SUPPORT FROM ME!!! :D
nates mom panicking with the buff sleeping I literally almost peed my pants laughing
Kara definitely deserves an award for going along with Nate's crazy ideas. Gotta say, fair play to Nate's parents for agreeing to take part. I definitely would not survive 😂 Great video as always 😎👍
Morning coffee with Kara and Nate! Thank you for another awesome video! 💖✨️
That was a brilliant idea to wave the kindling around to start the fire! Great job
Your parents are amazing! Amazing!
So, my parents and I were set to travel to visit my sister in Alaska (we live in Mass). Then, my mom and I came down with COVID (we are vaccinated, we will be fine), so, it’s not safe to travel and we were so sad. Your channel and some coffee are EXACTLY the cheering up I need today. Thank you for that. ❤️❤️❤️
Ya’ll look like younger/older versions of yourselves.
You'd be fine if you weren't vaccinated too
Thoroughly enjoyed this, can't wait for part 2. Nate, your parents are so cool.
I applaud your parents doing this with you. They are amazing.
Nate’s parents are the best idk what parents would do ❤
This was one of my favorite videos you have ever made when you did it in Panama! So happy to see this done again in Tonga! ❤
us too : )
“Don’t look forward to being filmed very much”
Haha!
The best type of people to film with!
Awesome jobs guys! (Watching now.)
Loved this, as I do all your videos! I think it's great that you can give your parents such a great experience Nate. Can't wait for the next one
You're both becoming survivalist experts, lol 😃 Kudos to your mom and dad, Nate! The whale sightings were very cool!! I'm sure part 2 will be fun but more challenging 🏝
Whenever I see these videos you make it look so easy & think I can do it, maybe not on 96 hour scale, but then a house centipede took over my bedroom last night & had to sleep on the couch 🤣😭 I need to camp to practice!!
I have loved this channel for months and every time I see a new video I get so excited and stop what I’m doing to enjoy the amazing videos you guys make:) this is another masterpiece in my opinion!!
there is something so wholesome about Nate laughing at his mum
This is actually so impressive! You must be so proud of yourselves! 😄😊
Hi Kara and Nate, I discovered your channel 5 years ago, and from the very first video, I watched I fell in love with your content. you have been my favourite CZcamsr ever since. I loved your " visiting 100 countries " series and I hope you continue it and visit all countries of the world. I live in Cyprus and I would love for you to visit Cyprus again and see how different is southern Cyprus from the the Turkish occupied side.❤️❤️❤️
Hope you see this
Kara you’re literally amazing for doing this😭 I could never. Definitely inspirational
without a doubt my favorite thing about this episode is listening to Nate's Tennessee accent come out from spending so much time around his parents!
Perfect way for me to spend my afternoon watching you guys 💜☺️😊
Another awesome video! Love that your parents joined you for this adventure! Looking forward to watching part 2 of your island survival.
Yes and I wonder when pt 2 is
I’m sorry why is everyone ignoring the fact of the huge bats? I love Kara and Nate too much I can’t risk losing them like this 😭
Kara and Nate for 31 minutes is like a Christmas present ❤❤
So nice to see Nates parents do this crazy adventure with them!!!! Love the vids❤
It’s always a better day when Kara and Nate post I have not even watched the video and know it’s going to be great I clicked on this video halfway through a different CZcams video I was watching (it happens everytime you guys post lol 😂) Kara you are always so sweet and find the good in everything, Nate you have such a great personality and both of you make these videos, my favorites on CZcams. You guys inspire me to try things way out of my comfort zone! Love you guys❤❤❤ keep doing what you do
This is what I've been waiting for... finally an adventure video!
Nate, your parents are troopers. Y'all are doing pretty darn well and I look forward to this continuing adventure.
Safe and happy coconutting. 😀
James answering "I don't know" to "Did you sleep?" was sooo Dusty-like 😂
He reminds me a lot of Dusty!!
17:28 the headlamp’s and sleeping bags multiplied 🎉 still one hell of a challenge 😂
Its so wonderful that your parents wanted to do this survival challenge with you Nate. I could never talk my parents into doing something like this with me so I have nothing but admiration for them. I'm sure you will all talk about this for years to come along with the memories you will all make during your time on the island. Wonderful video guys as usual and I look forward to seeing part two xx
Who else would like to see Kara and Nate travel from the northern most capital to the southern most capital in 24 hours? (Great video btw)
“the ground apparently got a lot harder” lol!!! James is amazing!
I’m watching this in hospital with my sick 6 week old baby. I feel like I can relate, no toothbrush, 2 hours of sleep… no crabs or rats thankfully. Thanks for the distraction 😊
Hoping your baby is okay! ❤ Sending love from Canada 🇨🇦
Oh you poor thing! That sounds way harder :( Hang in there!! 🙏🏻
I Really Love your Videos Guys. Keep it up!!!
I truly think having your dad with u is not only a wonderful memory, but old dad got yall a house on that island! ❤ love u guys ! Safe travels, an I can't wait to see what yall do next! Much love from eastern Kentucky!
You guys are champions, Nate your parents are so nice, I can’t wait to see the next episode.
I love all your videos! They're so creative.
