    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 travel vlog 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!

I can't speak for other countries, but there's been a concerted effort since our inception to discount the votes of certain demographics.

Most people who are Christian might consider that a negative thing, you guys embrace diversity and other cultures and represent Christianity in a way that makes me proud to be a Christian!

    I love all of their videos, but this type is my favorite. When they are just exploring a new place, eating the food and meeting the people. It feels natural and wholesome. I’m happy they can go on cool adventures but I’ve been waiting for a new country video. Feels like going back to their roots 🤍

    Hearing the call to prayer for the first time while traveling was such an amazing experience for me. I’ve often wondered what Kara and Nate thought about it being from a similar background as me. It’s so beautiful and foreign and a wonderful reminder of how big the world is

    I love when you meet fans out in the wild, lol. That hotel was stunning, I'd be spending all my time in the swimming pools. I hope Kara feels better soon, I can imagine that being on the move so much and in so many extreme living situations can wear you down sometimes. The floating village is so fascinating, it's incredible that all of that is there out in the water like that. I loved your comments during the Call to Prayer, as I've grown up in the US surrounded by churches and am used to the loud church bells, but the call to prayer sounds otherworldly to me. I think I would be startled hearing it for the first few times, just hearing a voice in the sky like that, but sound soothing and meditative after the shock wears off. Thank you for sharing!

  • @reginaldscot165

    I moved to Brunei 🇧🇳 from the UK 🇬🇧 7 years ago. I would say the Government is one of the best things about Brunei, His Majesty The Sultan Of Brunei really seems to care about his people and I have met and spoken to him and his family several times. In 30 years in the UK i never even got close to my leaders and I don’t feel they care about the UK or it’s people at all.
    Imagine if we judged Americans for the decisions of their government, it would be a billion times worse. Brunei never killed or invaded anyone.
    The religion is very important in Brunei and I think it’s good they value traditional beliefs and the way of living.
    It’s a peaceful country, people are generally very friendly and there is very little crime or conflict. People are happy here.
    I find it insulting when western countries act superior and say negative things about how the people of Brunei choose to live. It’s not your country, if you don’t like it, don’t go.
    Personally I can’t think of a nicer better place to live.
    Do visit Brunei, they need the tourists and you will get wonderful memories and experiences here.

I enjoy going back a little in my busy everyday life and watching you enjoy life the way you want it to be enjoyed. I know behind the scenes that there are many challenges associated with travelling, but every time you post a new video you manage to excite with your huge enthusiasm and mood and show us viewers that you really love to do what you do.
