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 in our 9TH YEAR of 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!

One of my favorite things about these current videos is how engaging Nate is. He's almost as chatty as Kara now and I love it! I remember those earlier times when Kara did most of the talking. It's so good to see the evolution, the growth, the confidence. I'm here for this couple and these adventures.
I love the talking bits, I learn something new in every video!!
I agree❤
I was thinking the same thing!
what a fun video❤❤
I can’t believe that I didn’t even notice, but you’re right! It’s great too!
#1 collab would be Kara and Nate and @OutdoorBoys digging a snow shelter together eating homemade bread with honey butter
1,000% came knowing someone else had our opinion.
Collab with Luke
THIS 💯💯💯 we watch both every week! 😊
Came here to say the exact same thing!
Yes!!
100% thought the same thing.
Kara, you have me crying!!!! Honey.. take as many breaks as you and Nate need. Your crew will be waiting for your return. I can't imagine you both not getting tired and bunt out and missing family at some point... everyone does regardless of what their "job" is. Anyway, now that I've dried my eyes (lol) can I just say that I love watching every single video and thankful I get to see the wild adventures you take. Thank you for making my day better!
The fact that you give yourself breaks when you need them is just as inspiring for me as your travels. If you show what it looks like to take care of yourself, you can make a big difference. thank you for your openness.
Kara and Nate, take all the breaks you need for however long they are. I know the algorithm gods can be fickle but you have spent years building a really dedicated community that will be here. I’m so glad you’re allowing changes and you may need to allow even more changes and we will still be here. ❤
Ditto!!! 💙💙💙💙💙
For real 😁💜
We adore you guys! I'm so happy you took a break and felt the love. I can't speak for everyone, but we missed you...however missing you for a few days is way better than you guys getting burnt out and then we'd miss you for much longer. Always take the time you need to fill your cup. Sending love and good juju from Canada. I'd love to see you guys do a Newfoundland trip.I'd offer to be a guide even. Look up Bonavista. My family is from a tiny place called Stock Cove, right on the ocean. Icebergs, whales, lobster and the most loving people. xoxox
We have been up that way a number of times and some of our best nights were right on the ocean. There is a cafe/restaurant there that has the most amazing fresh that day seafood...if you are in to that...as what was mentioned above, the people there are amazing...going back again this spring and hopefully see some icebergs again.
Kara, I cried with you when you ate Carbonara, in Italy, after lockdown! And Im crying with you now in your genuine appreciation. xxx Luv you. xx
SAME! ❤ you guys!
I want to give a special shout-out to Kara!
I know the videos challenge Kara and Nate, and Kara has made really clear there’s a lot of things she’s never done before or are really far outside of her comfort zone vs Nate who has some familiarity or it’s been a goal of his.
Kara’s experiences take a different level of patience, resilience, and perseverance. So shoutout to her and thank you for inspiring those of us who are exploring things in adulthood!
And Kara it’s okay to say no and take a break 💕
Honestly after that pee line discovery 🤣🤣🤣 every-time it comes up in frame I can’t stop smiling or snickering 🤭
same here. My eyes can't help to look at it every time.
Same!!!
An for them to put their heads right next to it made me laugh too. It reminded me of all the times we built snow forts as kids. I wonder which exotic destination they will be going on after they are done in the mountains.
I started crying when Kara started crying... We love you guys! 🌈😭
Greetings from the cold cold North of Sweden. It's a bit colder here than in what you slept and we still have 2 and a half more months of winter ahead of us. 🌲🔥🖤
Lucky duck. Wanna swap houses? You can burn to a crisp and sweat 24/7 in australia while im all nice and cosy and not praying for the sun to explode in icy cold Sweden..... I meanyeah, the heat is great, just super...... not overly oppressive and breath stealing at all to the point you want to rip your skin off just
For a fraction of relief lol
@@thorium3737 I was living in the south of Europe a year ago with 40+ C during summer... and realized that I need to live somewhere colder, so packed up the bags, took the kid and husband and bought a house in the North of Sweden. Cold, chap houses and amazing lakes, pines and nature.
I would not swap it for the world! I worked 5 years to make it work! I would just advise you do the same. Research a bit, but the houses that far up north cost 30-40K Euro... it's worth the trouble of moving countries for that little money for a two storey house with a big garden in the beautiful nature...🌲🌲🌲
I swear I can’t help it
Same, I couldn't help it. Shes so sweet so glad they took the time and everyone sent them love ❤
I couldn’t help but cry too 😭💕
No amount of love for someone would make me do this! Nate, you owe Kara a luxurious belated Valentines break after this 😂!!!
I think the fact that you got so emotional reveals two things:
1. How badly you truly needed a break from everything and how much you physically and mentally needed that recharge.
2. How much you truly appreciate what you do. It shows that you don’t take what you have for granted and that’s what is so refreshing about your channel.
You look so cold Kara! Ya know, we don’t hate a good split adventure with a Kara cam and Nate cam if you guys have different ideas of fun sometimes that’s totally okay.
O
You guys are awesome. The community is behind you 1000%. No matter if you post once a week or once a month, we got your back 💪
kara and nate would for sure be the ones to survive longest in a zombie apocalypse 😂 between this, surviving days on remote islands, etc they have the skills
Welcome back. Taking breaks is so important & I'm so happy that you are feeling better. Never apologise for needing a break or taking time for yourselves.
Welcome back! I hope one day you truly understand just how much you are loved. Always put your well-being first, please, it’s the only thing that truly matters ❤❤❤❤
I’ve subscribed to this channel 6 years ago, caught up & liked on every single video you’ve ever made and you even travelled to my hometown in Switzerland (unfortunately I missed you). Dear Kara & Nate, I hope this message reaches you: thank you from the bottom of my heart for always putting a smile on my face whenever I’m feeling down or sad and for creating a personal safe space with your amazing content & lovely personalities. As a long-term-fan I’m thrilled to see you grow, succeed and get the recognition you’ve always deserved. Never feel bad for taking a break after literal years and years of hard work. As a fan I’m always gonna stick around, no matter how long or how often you need a break. I’m glad to see you back and I will for sure keep enjoying your astonishing journey. Lots of love, your Swiss/Italian fan Nico. 💞
I cried when Kara cried. She was genuinely very appreciative of all of their followers to give them grace during their much needed time away. As a follower of you, Kara and Nate. I’m here for self preservation. If you all need a break, take the break. I enjoy all the videos ya’ll put out. Thank you for sharing your lives with all of us. I’m incredibly grateful.
This makes me appreciate Luke from the outdoor boys even more. That’s a dope snow cave, hats off 🤝
You both are literally my favorite couple to watch. If needed y'all can take all the break you need, and we will be here for you
You guys bring so much joy to so many people. I found you on my 40th day of lockdown at the start of the pandemic when I had just been laid off from the airport and this was pure joy and a way for me to retain my sanity and if fewer videos and more rest will help you retain yours I think so many of us will say thank you for just not stopping and take whatever time you need. You guys are still pure joy and every video is a breath of fresh air.
I hope Kara gets an amazing experience of her choice soon after that one. She looked completely exhausted at the end of the day. I don’t know where you get the energy from and you must be next level fit.
We all need breaks to rest and refresh sometimes! I can't believe you two traveled and made content for SO long without a nice extended break. It is well deserved!
Don't forget to stop and rest once in a while now, don't go so long before taking some time for yourselves.
Cheers to a great 2024!
Long time fan! We all need to push ourselves to try new things and you guys have proven that physically you're willing to go the extra mile.... or 3000! But there are other ways to branch out. I believe Nate typically does most of the planning. May I suggest that Kara plans this year? I'm bummed watching Kara suffer through miserable extreme experiences. I really want you guys (Kara ; ) to be enjoying yourselves, especially so you'll keep making amazing videos for all to enjoy!
Aww I got emotional when Kara got emotional 🥺🥲 And that cute intentional placing of Valentine's roses in every scene did not go unnoticed and was very much appreciated 😂🌹🍫
I can’t believe some (MOST) of the things you guys do! I love your videos! I especially love it when Kara keeps it real by showing her emotions! That’s hard to put out there in front of people you don’t know. She is the sweetest! I have MAD respect for her! Both of you are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us! ❤
I love that you guys are so close to FOUR MILLION SUBSCRIBERS! LET THAT SINK IN FOR A MOMENT! That’s more people than what is in my city of Vegas! What a tremendous accomplishment! ❤ PS. I love how Kara marked her territory in the shelter(On accident)😂😂😂
Kara you are a bad ass woman to go through all the adventures that Nate dreams up. May God watch over you and Nate in your adventures.
Yey, just Kara and Nate casually making my Saturday! We are cheering you on and love seeing you!
Poor Kara, didn't she say she didn't want more cold challenges? Lol.
I love how they go from luxury to adventurous, it is always so much fun to watch! I would love to see them do the deepest air BnB in the world!
Please let Kara have a night at a nice spa and find a friend to do these videos. Poor girl hates being cold.
I'm sorry Nate, I'm with Kara on this one! That's no way A fun Valentine"s Day. I think you owe her A trip someplace warmer
snow caves are the most comfortable way to sleep in -5f and below. well made caves stay a consistent 30-35f degrees.
fun thing about snow caves. once you sleep in them once you are good to go for the rest of the season. once it gets one good freeze thaw cycle (sleeping thaw leaving for the day freeze) it essentially becomes a solid ice shell. scout camps where a group fails to make a snow shelter can have the scouts sleep in shelters built at the start of the season.
Loved Kara’s morning photo out the cave door and Nate sipping coffee. Yall did it!
Are you crazy ? Why do you let him talk you into doing that crazy dangerous stuff? Did anyone know exactly where you guys were just incase you didn't make it back to civilization? I'm old enough to be your mom so I'm aloud to say this stuff and be concerned lol she deserves a hot beach week after this one nate 😊 I was cold just watching you two
So interesting seeing this as the Inuit lived in igloos for thousands of years. They would used a qulliq and caribou/seal furs to keep them warm in Arctic temperatures of -60C. Also the igloo would build a layer of ice that would help withstand huge wind storms. Was really cool to see how with modern resources it was still cold inside there. Thank you for sharing!
Nate is an absolute ROCKSTAR when it comes to building a safe warm shelter out of snow. Kara, you DID a great job too
So many people love you two precious souls. Im 66 years old, started watching yall a long time ago and then your other friends too. You have an amazing family and family of friends. Im proud on the fringes to know of you. Id love to know yall in person but this is ok. You never know when life is over so tell your peeps you love them and live life as it comes. So i love yall. ❤️
Misophonia sufferers beware of crunchy snow/ice;) I had to watch with the sound off. Thanks for CCing your videos.
Kudos to this lady! Most ladies want to settle down around this age and have stability in terms of having a house and family but she is adventurous and I hope her guy is thankful for that.
You two are so COOOOL, literally. Thanks for sharing your exciting travels and challenges.
Never. In. A. Million. Years. But, God bless, you two!
The only up side for me would be the no bugs aspect. I would have to be dangerously hungry to eat uncooked pancake batter! Not to mention in need of coffee enough to drink potato flavored coffee.
I have built (or helped build) a few snow shelters on Mount Hood (Oregon). It is amazing how warm they are even after hours of nearly exhausting digging. While our snow is much denser than Colorado's I had no doubt about them being strong enough to support themselves. Indeed, I have usually felt the need to partially destroy them (after use) so that they don't pose a hazard for subsequent visitors.
12:51 I like how nate didn't see the yellow line at first and was like "Kara did you pee?" Lol
😂 when Kara is freezing to death and just to be a god sport for Nate she says with tears in her eyes "no this is actually amazing" 😂 poor thang I just wanna give her a heated onesie. 😂🥰 I know she really does love the experience she is having with the love of her life. Freezing and all lol. ❤❤❤
You guys are braver then me i could never do that great job
I love how you two are so big now on CZcams but you are still humble at heart. Thabk you for the thank you 😊
Keep those videos coming… and yes take as many breaks as you need!
One of the best birthday gifts, having Kara and Nate drop a new video to watch. But we have come to the understanding that watching Kara and Nate is more important then studying for my math test and writing papers for my classes and I am okay with that. I love y'all
Way to go Kara! Girl, don't you know, as soon as you started tearing up... I get to crying. Love your sincerity. As always, thanks for the fun video - though... I don't think I could have slept with my head in the back. I'm sure warmer back there, but I'd want to be as close to that opening as possible, haha
Awwww, don't cry, Kara. You'll make us cry. We love you guys. ❤️
O No don't cry. We all appreciate you 2. But absolutely so happy ya took a break. well deserved it.Yall welcome back we missed ya. 100% understand.
Wow Kara you certainly must love Nate ….. ❄️⛄️🥶
I really enjoyed this! It's amazing to see all the crazy adventures you guys experience, but this was a favorite 😍!
You and Nate are such a lovely couple to watch go on these experiences. Melts my heart.
I hate the cold I give yall props you already slept in an ice room now this ha
The Valentine’s flowers!! So sweet! Happy Valentine’s you two Love Birds. ❤🥰
It’s only fun for us when you’re having fun too! Love you both, Kara & Nate. Will watch you for as many or as few videos as you want to create. 💜
You two are nuts, but this was the perfect video for me to watch under my heated throw with a bottle of chardonnay. Thanks for doing all the hard work so that we get to sit back and watch!
What great timing! One of my best friend’s & her Husband used to “winter camp” when the winter camping stars aligned!
Tho the years passed & eventually his health prevented those extreme adventures for them, they still traveled often! He never lost that spirit that one must have to do something like this! Love the memories this snow adventure you just posted brought forth!
RIP Randy M.
Your adventurous spirit will be remembered by many , and will not be forgotten!
The perfect contrast to the last video! Takes me back to building a simple snow cave in the back yard of my parents house in Manitoba. Great job Kara and Nate. Was so pretty outside the next morning. Knew you would somehow make Kate her morning coffee!😊😊
You two are the best, you do the most adventurous stuff, and share it with us. Thanks for sharing. Love yah Nancy
You guys are the best. Your both so easy to like and I love seeing all your adventures! Glad you both were able to get the break you needed
Love these videos, can you do one with your family’s I think it would be awesome for you guys to do that 😊
Watching this video I can see the joy back in your faces!
Thank you for taking us along on your adventures! ❄️
Awesome video! 😄 Keep up the great work!
I love this video so much. I live in Alberta, my backyard is the Rocky Mountains. Hiking is one of my hobbies. This video made me want to get into winter hiking & cross country skiing!
thanks for doing this insane out of the world experience as it's really inspiring. I can't imagine the physical strength you need to do all this and take the risk of being caved in overnight. you two also enjoy the simple meal you had up in the mountain and appreciating everything. thanks so much for letting us know there can be such experiences in life! ❤
forgot to mention how sweet you both are. Nate carrying flowers all this way in his backpack and Kara giving him Chocolate. you both are the sweetest couple ever!❤❤❤
Just leave it for others to enjoy! That's so cool!
Raise your hand if you love Colorado 🤚 Kara and Nate, thank you for always providing inspiring travel content. You were the inspiration that I needed to start a travel page of my own ❤
This was so refreshing to watch! And the morning view of the mountains! WoW! Simply...WOW!!
You two are always surprising me, this video brought back so many memories. My brother, sister and I would build snow forts after the plows would come by. We pretty much lived in them until they melted. So grateful to be back in Florida for the winter months. It’s been in the low 70s since I got here. It took me 8 days of driving to get here from Texas. I was deadlined for three days because of mechanical issues. However it was an awesome trip. I met many wonderful people along the way. Hoping I am able to get a better RV before I go back on the road next season.
You guys are so awesome and I love watching your videos ❤🎉
Kara deserves EVERYTHING. Period.
Awww Kara. Burnout happens to professionals in even the most enjoyable positions. I think it was a nice example to set to others, that if you feel exhausted, just rest. If anything I think that influence is important and more people should see their idols prioritizing their mental health and normalizing it. It feels like that yesterday y’all were biking across America and monkey biking through South America. We always love seeing and feeling like we are apart of your adventure, whenever we get the opportunity to come along. ❤️
Awww you guys so deserve time to yourselves and family. You give so much of your self to the world 🥰 you guys are so amazing thank you for sharing all you do, I have seen and learned so much cause of it, thank you!!!!
Awesome video as always Kara and Nate. Y'all's adventures get more and more epic y'all's adventures never cease to amaze us. Thanks for letting us ride along with y'all on y'all's adventures.
Kara is strong and willpower something I’ve always admired abut her
Yayyyyy so glad you guys are feeling better! Sending so much love! Never feel bad for taking a break❤❤❤
crazy watching all your adventures its sooo cool! loved the train on your anniversary, the underwater bedroom and the plane with the bed!
You guys are almost at 800 million views all time. Congrats!
I’m not tearing up 😊Awe you two. glad you took that time for yourselves. Your ppl here love you, so not to worry. taking care of yourself is number 1!
Kara and Nate
You two are amazing. Not only for your awesome adventures, but also for staying together through all your adventures. Nothing says true love than you two.❤😊😊🎉
You guys are amazing, you find the most extraordinary things to do! How lucky are we. So glad your break was restorative, take care 🌷💕
It is so great to see y’all doing what you do!! Thankful that your time off was restful and refueled y’all to travel again! What an epic trip this was, just the two of you, building a frickin’ igloo😆 Y’all are rockstars!! As always, so grateful for you guys and these epic trips you take me along on!!
Stay you✌🏼
Love watching you both, what ever you do. Besides take time for yourselves when ever needed 😊.

Not me crying while Kara cries, we love you so much!!! You’re amazing!
Thank you for your work and for always taking so many of us with you around the world. While I would love to be with you, I do not know that I could do all of the work that no one sees. You are appreciated! I've watched, I believe, every one of your videos from the very first one. Well done!
@OutdoorBoys a collab would break the internet, Id love to see that snow shelter collab!!
Aww Kara don't cry hun, we ebony your videos because you guys are so real and will tell it like it is, when your body needs rest you need to do it, so if you guys need to take time off plz do it!
Thank You for sharing. Very interesting and educational.
OMG CARA GETTING EMOTIONAL OVER OUR SUPPORT.... LOVE YOU GUYS... content creators are HUMAN. I send you both so much love and I hope you've enjoyed your rest and that you are back into this envigorated and ready to go.. AnD TO ENJOY your adventures.. hopefully warmer settings next time LOVE U BOTH.
So fun to watch. Yes, I teared up. Kara, NEVER lose your sweet spirit!
Our family looks forward to watching every adventure and I'm so glad your break gave you the much needed rest you needed. I'll be thinking of you next month as I land in PVR wearing my fare drop t shirt.
It's awesome seeing you guys do what everyone COULD be doing this lifes not long and you two are living it bless your hearts and keep up the great work!
