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. 😊🎥🌎

This channel is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get, but you know each and every video is going to be a tasty delight ❤
Awwwwww🤓🫶🏻
I love this and totally agree
A trip to Europe? Surviving without electricity on a deserted island? Van life? Hiking up a mountain? Nah, It’s living on a solar powered boat!
I was thinking the same thing lol
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
“You never know what you’re gonna get on this channel so thanks for sticking around” little do you guys know that’s exactly why we stick around it’s always a different adventure but our same favorite two people !

What a banger vid guys 🙌🏼 (I expect nothing less from you two) Thanks so much for having us onboard.
Just having some classic sailing content creator upload issues. Video going live soon!!! Giddy up internet 🐎
Yas! Can’t wait for your video as well!! ❤️
How could you not give us a warning about Lenny's haircut??? 🤯😆💇🏼🙈 he obviously looks great either way! 💖
It’s going to be worth the wait I’m sure!!! 🙌🏻 MISS YALL ❤️
Lenny! I love the haircut! ❤
@@KaraandNate we’re are your children? You both are to old to be acting like childless college students on summer break.
Heyooooo!! This solar powered yacht looks EPIC! Mind if we hop on board?!? 😉
I can't wait for those videos. I already saw a sneak peek on IG ♥️
If you didn't we'd be hugely disappointed 😁
Yes!! I love you guys together!
omg
YESSS! We need this Dolan on the solar boat!!! ❤🎉😁
Sailing La Vagabonde x Kara and Nate always makes the best crossover episodes.

Darn, I just love your videos. Whether you’re silently camping in Tennessee or silently-cruising the Mediterranean, and all the wonderful people, points and places in between, you two are definitely crushing it. Humble and kind.
Awww thanks Charles!❤

I found this channel during Covid, and I binged watched so many to catch up. I live vicariously through Kara and Nate, looking for to your next adventure.
Awww glad you enjoyed the journey! 🌏🤗❤️
LOL Same! Still catching up though.
SAME!!❤❤❤❤❤

Hearing Kara talking about how worried she was for a second about how cold the water could be… after watching her do two polar plunges like a boss cracks me up lol 😂

I love Kara's tours and showing us all around where ever they're staying.
she should be a voice for museum’s or audio books

I’ve now been watching for 5 years and that seems crazy! It’s been incredible watching y’all go through life and throughly enjoying every minute of it! Thank you for the awesome content 🥰🥹
5 years?? Amazing 🫶🏻 thanks for sticking around!
I think part of the reason I enjoy Kara & Nate is because of how varied your content is, I never know what crazy stunt you guys will try next. It is refreshing and fun to watch.

kara, the secret to literally any pasta sauce is the cooking water, it makes the sauce bind because of the starch in it, so as a little tip, always keep the cooking water or at least a cup of it!! btw, loved the video!

Can I just say how much I love who you all are as people? From the way Nate wakes Kara up with a morning kiss and coffee to the way that Kara makes meals for everyone onboard to make your guests feel comfortable. ❤

I found this channel due to them living in their van, and enjoy those videos. Now I just can't get enough of these travel videos ♥️

Gotta love her 😍

Kara is looking so fit and healthy. The good life is showing. Thanks for sharing your journey.

I was deep in a dark deep hole of grief and you helped me dig out. Thanks for bringing us with you on these unique experiences. Stay well and positive living your best lives. Hello from London : - )
Love how you guys always keep us on our toes on what your next adventure is!❤️
Just in case you are able to read my comment; you're one of the few youtubers that i never miss watching or following religiously, so much fun and adventurous as always watching your vlog guys. Love from India 🥰
❤❤❤
🤣 "Boat parking lot". Never heard a harbor or marina called that before, but it makes sense to a landlubber. I love Kara and here commentaries.
I’m extremely jealous…you guys are all living my dream. I am way too old for these type adventures now, so I am living vicariously through you guys! Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful views with us out here in CZcams land! Loved seeing Riley , Elena and the boys too! Hearing little Lenny talk is so cute! Thanks for sharing!!!
25:59; when Kara attempts to read the laundry settings in German🤣🥰 I literally laughed out loud. So cute!
Mee too! I've watched that part like 5 times!😂👍 I'm from Germany 🥰
We laughed so much at that moment! haha! We bought a Swedish boat and we are english speaking Americans... so we are in the process of getting all of our labels switched to english. It made for some funny conversation in the beginning when we couldn't understand certain labels!
You should do a ranking of "it doesn't get much better than this" moments. You guys say it in almost every video and I'm interested in which one would be in the rankings. 😁
Yay it’s Saturday!! I have that thought every Saturday for a number of reasons, one of which is a new Kara and Nate video to watch. Thanks for making awesome videos and something little to look forward to each week.
It's always fun to see what y'all end up doing each week!
I love seeing how much joy you get from every experience no matter what it is, you have inspired me to start learning how I can travel on my own and enjoy this beautiful world. Thanks Kara and Nate you are amazing!
That’s awesome to hear Jonathan! Go for it! 🌏🥳
If you guys made a video everyday that wouldn't be too much to watch. Thanks for sharing your adventures! I love them and you guys!
Hello how are you doing?!
love the dichotomy of ur channel: woods one week, yacht the next! can’t wait to watch this one 😁
I love seeing this collaboration, I love seeing Riley have to take a back seat to something that is normally his 24/7 life, I love that you guys went for a run, you guys made a great video
I was so overwhelmed watching this video that I cried. I'm so proud of you both for doing that climb.
I have been watching from the beginning and will always watch! Thank you for being an awesome role model for this world with your content! Humble, graceful, kind and adventurous! My family loves you guys!
I absolutely love how Nate makes Kara coffee every morning.
It’s the cutest thing in the world and such a big way to show love even though it’s something small and simple! Currently in the process of showing my bf how I like my coffee so he can do this for me(he wants too, just doesn’t drink coffee so has no idea what “measurements” to use😅)
The country roads singing 💓 warms my mountaineer heart
I remember once taking a ferry in Croatia, 5:30am to 6:30am: we boarded in darkness, but then suddenly the world around us was a whirlwind of soft pinks and lavenders. I thought i would die from beauty overload. Sunrise at sea is an ethereal experience, I'm so happy for you
I've watched all of your videos since the beginning and it's amazing to see how far y'all have grown and all of the awesome things you guys do everyday ❤️ ❤️
couldn't have picked a better family to go solar boating with!!! I bet Riley was a backseat driver the whole time with Capt Mike 🤣 what a trip ❤️❤️❤️
Ya, because he knows in a week, Nate takes the controls and Riley is probably still having nightmares of Nate takung over his vessel. :P jk Nate
Love how you guys are willing to say yes to any kind of adventure!
Every video for the past 6 months-ish have gotten better and better and the first video back roughly six months was AMAZING!!!! As are all of them. Love your channel Kara & Nate! Your fan, 3 yrs., -Jeremy :)
Whenever we need to get happy now, all we have to do is watch ANY Kara and Nate episode - new or old 💟 🎶
🤗🫶🏻
Each Episode: Erupts with Life outside the 'mainstream'.. GLOWFORWARD!
Soooo TRUE! My business partner ALSO loves their honest FUN of Adventure!!
Awesome guys, so glad Mike made you his bread. 😊
You guys are so much fun to watch! Thank you for distracting me from my pain while I recover from surgery. It almost feels like I am on the boat having fun with you guys.

Absolutely LOVE these K&N and SLV crossover videos!!! Love seeing my two favourite sets of CZcamsrs combine efforts and develop a close friendship!! More of these please! Maybe K&N can visit Riley and Elayna in Vietnam? Xx
You two always make my week! Been watching you for years and love all of your videos! I always grab a cup of coffee and relax when I get the notification of a new video.
Awww cheers ☕️🫶🏻
Love the daily drop, subscribed a month ago after watching your channel for almost a year now and I can’t get out of bed until I read the daily drop now!! Thank you guys for sharing your amazing experiences! It truly does help and because of you I was able to take my first trip I planned a month ago and now planning something else with your daily help, thank y’all so much!!
I LOVE that you've collabed with Elanya and Raily and family! I love watching you all because you make the most entertaining videos! (Captain Mike was pretty chill amid the chaos! )
Soooo thoughts on boat life? Next chapter for us maybe?👀

I love boat life! Definitely something that needs to continue :)
It's dope
Yes videos would be so good
Plot twist????????
Omg yes good idea these videos are so fun to watch and they are inspiring…❤️❤️❤️
I love how you give so many different videos like you are either in the van, or flying, visiting nice hotels, camping, or at home visiting family and friends. I love you guys ❤
Lol keeping it interesting 🤓
That sunrise footage was in real. It looked lovely and calm. Something straight out of a dream.
You guys are genuinely my absolute favorite CZcamsrs. Every video is something different & it’s amazing. Also, this boat is HUGE holy crap lol
So excited to see you guys hanging out with La vagabond again!! My two favorite travel couples! One from the land and one from the sea ❤
Hello how are you doing?
I love y’all’s content! You guys inspire me so much! We recently booked a antartica cruise ship because of y’all! Love you guys! Hope you had fun!!!
Ahhhhh ENJOY!!!!!! 🇦🇶🐧
2 of my favorite observations from this episode:
1. Riley (sorry if that's spelled incorrectly!) noting how the prospect of spilling something out of the frig is a normal morning with the kids. I used to joke, when my kids were little, that it wasn't a meal if someone didn't spill something. 😄
2. The picnic on the floor. I would sometimes make nachos for dinner with my kids (I was a single mom from the time they were 2 and 5). I always spread out 2 big towels on the living room floor and we would eat them picnic style! I don't even know why I started that tradition with them, but we always ate them that way.
Thanks for the lovely memories!! 💕
I love these Sailing Channels. The thought of escaping the grind of everyday life and wake up in a new place every single day is just a DREAM! Thanks for this❤️
We sail full time so we can confirm that escaping that daily grind and traveling to new places constantly is the total dream!
The quality of your videos are always incredible! Love watching you guys so much!
Kara is going to have to write a cookbook soon! Some of those meals looked SOOO good!
My husband thought the same thing! We sail full time and he wants to try her quick and easy pasta dish on our boat!
I love when you 2 family's do videos together. It's like a warm fuzzy present!!! 🥰🥰🥰
As a sailor myself🙏❤️ Everyone should get to experience this amazing part of the world. Sailing the Cyclades is my absolute favorite. Great episode 👍
We are just starting our circumnavigation around the globe in our Najad 440 formerly RAN II from Ran Sailing and we cant wait to sail the Cyclades.
I love that you guys include the nanny into everything 🥺 very sweet , and treat her as a human 💕 you guys are very lovable
Don't need to push the smell through the screen. I have been there many times. I absolutely know what you mean, Nate.
Thought that you guys would take a bit of time off on that boat but here we go again.
I'm thrilled! It's day 9 of quarantine here and your content is putting a smile into my face.
my husband wants to take me out for my birthday today, but I told him I can't leave home without watching Kara and Nate awesome video hahaha thank you for sharing this awesome video ❤
Hahaha love it!
Always LOVE a Collab especially with people I already follow. First you guys with eamon and Bec and now you're sailing la vagabonde lol. Is this their new boat?
Some of our fav people in the world!
And no, their new boat isn’t done yet. But when it is we’ll definitely be visiting them 🤗
@@KaraandNate I've seen your IG stories and know there's gonna be an epic Collab with all of you and eamon and Bec soon and I can't wait!
This channel must be always there. Really enthralled by your adventures.
You learn something new everyday! As a keen boater (more of a wide beam narrowboat rather than a cruise ship) I never thought you could cruise in darkness but it may just be the rules on the waterways in the UK.
I absolutely love when you guys connect with others creators. It’s always an adventure. However, can you guys only stay in one place (kinda) for 2 whole weeks if your on a boat? Lol
@Kara and Nate Ummmmm I understand thanks for commenting but as for the rest of it I’m lost.
I love this video!! ❤ Hopefully the liquor corn turned out alright 😂
Kara, your body is telling you right. I use to work with an orthopedic doctor. He said runners kept them in business with all the knee surgeries. Oh, It is so sweet of Nate to make your morning coffee daily and how the both of you serve each other in different ways. Enjoy your channel so much.
Your videos always make my day❤️
Thanks! For the entertainment, for the inspiration to travel, and for just being you guys!
this is an amazing part of your channel... island sunset .. fun with friends ... cook Kara... night sky ... sunrise with Kara... mostly waves and the color ... love the simplicity and love this episode ❤️
Loved the video Kara and Nate! We sail full time and it's fun to see a video of a cat like this! We are monohull people but this looks super luxurious and like a fabulous island hopper for the Med!
I LOVED Riley’s perspective. I think I would love boat life if someone else was in charge of driving it. The silent yacht seems very appealing.
I can I just say how much I love to see two of my fav CZcams channels filming together. Wish Eamen and Bec were with yas 💜
One of my favorite parts was during the tour..when Kara jumped downstairs and her eyes got all big and she whispered "there's water on the ground." The look on her face after that was like a kid that did something wrong and looks over at their parent scared for their reaction 🤣🤣 or when she zoomed in on the lady and said "what brand of water are you drinking?" Lol and Nate was like "that was the creepiest thing I've ever seen" 🤣 you guys are the best. And love little Lenny climbing the tower and said he was like a mountain goat and wondered where the elevator was. His little voice and accent is the cutest ever.
Oh question tho..how'd it go from day 1 to day 3? Or did I miss something somehow lol.
Can we all just appreciate how Cara did not forget when she saw a jellyfish, like I know it was probably like zoomed in but like a legit jellyfish! Love ya Kara and nate 💖
Awesome vlog! Kara sitting there with her picnic feast only to find everyone napping cracked me up 🤣
Oklahoma Gal here!! Oh my goodness I just love You all!! Sweet girl hope your feeling well… prayed for you a long time now!! You look Beautiful!! So fun to watch you all !! Laughter is 💯The best medicine!! Keep on doing what makes your hearts smile!! You are are a blast to watch land or sea!’💞
I am only 6 minutes in and thinking ahead to the next Vlog, because it it bound to be more of the same! Awwwweeesome that Riley and Elayna and Co. are with you! That's like having peanut butter and JAM in your sandwich! Thanks to you all for the great footage you do--living vicariously through you all--big smile on my face. xx
Kara and Nate, I have been watching you guys since the Beginning and now look where you are!!!!! You are guys are so positive about every situation. Every time I click on one of you video's you brighten My day. I am only 12 and one day i want to be like you guys❤
Cool video as always. Love that you included Sailing La Vagabonde crew! While I agree somewhat with Riley on this boat's seaworthyness at least for extremes....I think this silent yacht can "sail" around the world. Lots of tech and combined with a competent crew....I think it would do just fine. I agree that it was "designed" for island hopping in the Med or Carribean.
Looking forward to week 2 and LOVE The Daily Drop!!! Funny, informative and saves people money. GO SIGN UP NOW!!
Captain Mike is golden; not only is a trusted sailor but a baker to boot. How lucky you guys were.
Love the sailing vagabond team, i watched them 5yrs ago and they set a tone! Sailing delos followed yet the intial vibe was set by vagabond, dude was for real.
thank you Kara and Nate for showing us the world! you inspire so many of us including myself and i hope you have a great day! :)
It’s our greatest joy ❤
And I liked the end when she screams happily "We made it to Ibizaaaa". I felt really happy.
💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Bahaha "you never know what you're going to get!" So true and we wouldn't have it any other way! 🤣 This looked like absolute luxury (but I would have been right there with Nate and the sea sickness!) Excitedddd for week 2!! 💃🏾
Glad you guys had such a blast ♥
This channel is so inclusive to everyone. They are my heroes
discovered this channel in summer 2020 and still get surprised by the level of great content
The opportunities y'all get are so insane! Your networking must be on point! Something about watching y'all live the EXACT life I've envisioned for myself is surreal! Goals before 30
It's actually insane how a massive 4 bedroom fully live in luxury silent yacht looks so teeny tiny next to those super yacht!!! @6:40
I can't even imagine living on the ocean. So jealous!
Luxury cruising at its finest - you are so very fortunate to have this opportunity!
My hubby and I were watching your video around dinner time and wondering what to make for dinner. We watched you cook the pasta and went straight to kitchen to whip it up. Thanks for the recipe! I love seeing you guys with vagabond and eamon and bec
I love the variety with you guys each week!!
I found this channel due to van life and ever since I can’t stop watching them because the videos are you exciting and I can’t get enough
Its so fun to see you guys hang out at the same bay and go jogging in the same area in Mallorca where I spend every summer 🙏🏻 Shame I didn't see you guys!
Lenny cracks me up
"I'm a mountain goat"
"Where's the elevator mama" 🤣🤣
Yay....Happy weekend!!! Thanking you guys for another incredible video, you two are amazing! Thanking you soooooo much for taking us all over the world with you. Your life is incredible and you are really living the dream. Dont stop making us all smile. Take care, lots of love from a little island in England called Canvey Island xXx 😁
Sending hugs to Canvey!💖
OMG, this is so cool! Was surprised to see La Vagabond 😊 Enjoy guys! Greetings from Saudi Arabia 👋 🇸🇦
Nice video. I'm gonna be honest at the start of the video I've got nervous thinking that Nate only have crash course in boat management. But I had a relief when I've heard that Riley and Elyana is invited. Have fun guys! Love you both
Hahaha he learned a LOT from the SLV crew and Cap. Mike for sure!
