Did you know there is a hotel inside the Chernobyl exclusion zone? We slept in the only hotel available to the public inside the 30 kilometer exclusion zone, then spent the whole day exploring the deserted town of Pripyat and the surrounding areas. You can't visit Chernobyl without a tour guide, and we booked our tour through SoloEast. We had a great experience, and we highly recommend checking them out if you're interested in visiting Chernobyl - bit.ly/soloeast

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this CZcams channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling! So we extended our 1 year trip to now FOUR years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
WOW, the Discovery Channel needs to hire you two! This was beyond a vlog - this was an actual documentary! So amazing.
You have no idea how happy you just made us 😁😁😁😁 Thank you.
I do agree, so good explained... Good job guys! Greetings from Kosovo! :)
Right?! Totally amazing.
Totally agree!! ❤️
I so agree ☺
I never knew Kara used to be a teacher!! It explains a lot about her loving personality and how much she cares about everyone
True words have never been spoken like this wow .
I didn’t know that!!
she just looks and acts like a teacher hahahahah
No kidding. Now I know what I've been admiring. It's that mobile face and self deprecating humor. Go girl! You are genuinely funny. Even charming.
That explains a lot, in a good way of course
You are becoming more than travel bloggers. You incorporate history with real stories, while experiencing food and culture through local experiences and people. It makes you unique travelers and makes you stand out among the rest of the vlogs out there. Amazing to see your almost 4 years of traveling and how much you have achieved, experienced and traveled and improve in all areas of your vlogs. ❤️
I felt like I was exposed to radiation just by watching this video. My skin itches.
I read this comment while scratching my hand hahah
i’m exposed to radiation everyday, i mean im still aight, i guess 😂😂
also you need 2-5 gy of radiation to feel a little skin erythema, also you’ll live, and so will i, i hope 😂😂😂😂
Its crazines, I am from Belarus, its Post Soviet Country, we have borders with Russia and Ucraine, and Chernobil is about several hours driving.... I would never ever recommend to go for such trip in Chernobil... 35 years passed, u can not imagine how high percantage of cancer and etc here...
Once again you have demonstrated your superior skills in producing your vlogs. Your story reflects a hidden and unknown part of our life here on earth. Our 12 year old was so fascinated by Chernobyl, she wants to learn even more. These two episodes will definitely be noticed, awards and accolades will follow.
I agree. People talk about it not being for tourists, but sometimes the past, teachers us important stuff.
You both deserve awards for you vlogs
Mallory Butts they won a shorty award
What a strange experience... to sleep where people used to sleep before the reactor explosion, eat where they used to eat. Freaky experience and amazing video!
What!!!!
I mean…I’m sure if you go to any other hotel in the world, someone has once died on that land.
Sooooo clueless! I grew up in Poland and the radiation caused many many illnesses. You don’t need to be right there to be exposed
imagine what would it feel like when someone will visit this place after 50 more years.
The brokenglasses which are lying on floor broke 84 years ago. the big wheel which you are seeing was builded 84 freaking years ago.
The shoes at the pripyat hospital basement which you are testing for radioactivity were thrown at the very same place 84 years ago.
just think about it
I never knew Kara used to be a teacher I bet she was a really good teacher 👩🏫❤️💯
You two should be way more famous than Ace family..
Vi Le i hate the ace family thank you
they could never😌
Who else loves Kara’s narrator voice?! 💕 Kara and Nate do a great job of incorporating cultural influences and eduction in a perfect harmony!
Thank you! I'm a little insecure about it so your encouragement is helpful 😂🙏
Don’t be! Everyone hates the sound of their own voice anyways so just talk your kind, beautiful heart out! Safe travels 💙
Yes I like their new style!
I love Kate’s narration voice too!
Yup it's not one of those girly high pitched voices I hate
Maybe after your 100 countries. Start an abandoned series where you go to abandoned things all over the world !!
i agree, they should do "tours" with different themes!!!
Yaaaaasssss!!!! Excellent idea!
No thanks, I prefer their regular content
That’s such a good idea!
24 hOuRs iN a hAuNtEd hOuSe
These abandoned schools, swimming halls and hospitals are so beautiful and creepy at the same time. I think these Chernobyl documentaries are your Top content so far. Some moments literally put me to hold my breath. You are such a lovely couple and great TV professionals in the same package! Thank You so much - keep up the great work!
Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤️
when Nate locked Kara in LOL. Wow I feel like I learned a lot from this vlog, and it's really cool how you guys got to meet a local there!
Brill
I visited Chernobyl last year. Visited many of the same sights, kept awake by dogs, met the old man as well and dill on everything. You will now spend all your time convincing people it is safe and that you are not radioactive!
You're glowing.
David do you think it will ever come back to normal for them there
@@katrinatipple5023 It will not. Half life decay for uranium or plutonium is in thousands of years. Moreover, walking around nucleotides is not safe they emit gamma, alpha and beta radiation. The one that is light and travels far is gamma. Still can cause canver. Plus I would nnot drink or eat in that area. It is enough to have one nucleotide launch in one of the organs in the human body for cancer to be guarnateed.
@@narminghalichi4572 Long half life means less radioactive, Cs 137 strontium 90 are the real problem now.
@@odderlendsolvang3790 Half life means the amount of time (no matter what amount) it takes to deplete the radioactive material by half. Uranium ( do not quote me I looked uranium up long time ago) is in thousands. Yes less radioactive. But how much less? I would not want to be near it even if it is much less radioactive. Problem is it is emitting cesium and strontium besides just alpha beta and gamma radiation. I think cesium half life is 30+ years, never looked up strontium. What I was trying to say in my post is that : visiting this kind of place has two wrongs about it. First of all, it is dangerous. Second, it sends message around that radiation is not as scary as they paint it, which is fundamentally wrong. All this radioactive material has been included into the food chain and now cycles around until people who bear the outmost cost die. I have friends from Ukraine. There are villages there where high percentage of kids are born with leukemia or develop it over life time.
Okay, it's time for you guys to start making commercial documentaries. I would go and see a two hour compilation of countries put together by you two in a movie theatre.
i’m currently in class and i saw where you posted this video. the teacher told me to get off my phone and i showed her your channel and now she is hooked 🤣
secretely trying to make your teacher get a new job....
6:00 that sound was so creepy I got goosebumps
That Duga tower was used in the trilogy Divergent as the wall. U guys rock💜💙
parli arora i was trying to remember the name of the movie thanks!
parli arora That’s what I was thinking
OMG. I never noticed that. That’s super cool.
I remember this catasthrophy from the perspective of my childhood in Poland. My parents told me that children were given to drink iodine. Anyway it was already too late because Soviet Union was hiding the information about it for some time. This ghost town is loooking sad, depressing and really like frozen in time. Also, I really like how you both are open to common people in your vlogs. This is precious. For me this place is too sad to watch on my own eyes , the same as Oswiecim in my country, I have never been there and do not plan to visit these places. All the information that I have regarding them is enough for me. Still it is interesting to watch somebody else visiting Chernobyl.
I was one of those children..
Ban nukes in the world now
I was born in Odessa, Ukraine in 86. I love that you two visited Chernobyl! I had family in Kiev until recently and have heard about a lot about side effects that are still present over the years.
It make me sad.. Every Time when I hear the name of "Chernobyl"..
Rest In Peace who Died for someone's Fault... 🌹🌹
.R.I.P.
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
U are loved
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Stay safe
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
AMEN
I'm astonished they just let you touch everything willy-nilly.
You guys are really trying to finish off the last few countries on your list on Hard Mode!
🙆💁
@@KaraandNate Hey thats Kara and Nate in emoji form! Love you guys!
Go hard or go home. lol
I noticed as well, btw when are we going to start a bet on what the 100th country is, My bet is North Korea is the 100th country :) Heya @Kara and Nate you guys are amazing i joined you guys when you were in India with the Holi festival since then i have watched every video, keep doing what you guys are doing! ofcourse until you stop enjoying it! then you do what you enjoy :D
@@valthepals1726 They've been there! 😊 The video is called "4 Minutes in North Korea"
"...actually don’t know if we survive until like 50 years later" 😂
Idk why but this video is giving me 'Maze Runner', 'Divergent' and 'Bird Box' kinda vibes
actually Duga 1 was used as a filming location in the Divergent 2 movie.
From crevasses to deadly radiation. You two are KILLING it lately!
I see what you did there 😂
@@KaraandNate thank you for noticing me
Those crevasses were like 100 times more dangerous than 2 days in Chernobyl. But they did make a great video, sooo.... 😉
Kara and Nate The crevasses will hunt you for a while...😜 How long did the Cailler chocolate last? 🍫🍫🍫
anyone else from central europe who was a kid back than and remembers the time of no outside play and omg do not touch the sand. years of not eating mushrooms etc? so much impact even though it was so soooo far away. kids from the ukraine coming to austria for in summer to get away from the horror and have a few nice weeks to be kids.... and people still use nuclear power all around.
You still can't eat wild bore from Sweden because the soil still is radioactive from the Chernobyl accident
That “calculator” is an abacus 🧮 what they used to use before there was such a thing as a calculator
In Soviet times they were very common.
There has to be some type of internet or special award for these two amazing Chernobyl videos! Well done!
Radiation, no sweat, looking over the side of a 16 story building, heart in my mouth.
Same!
Me: watches the hbo Chernobyl series
Them:let’s go sleep there
Also me:NOPE
😂It solidified Nate's decision to go!
Does anyone know the name of the HBO documentary film?
Janita Thomas Chernobyl 👍🏼
I would totally do it too,just for the one in a lifetime experience!!!
I can’t help but say get the heck out it of there. Informative but at your possible health expense. Be safe you two.
Brilliant video - this should be entered for a short video award - powerful and emotive - safe travels
This is by far the most intrinsic episode I have ever seen...I was waiting like a child to see what happens next.
Just perfect guys..👌
These last two vlogs may be the most interesting and fascinating ones that you have ever made. Love them!
Thank you so much, Neal 💛
What an amazing experience. To witness something first hand that most have only read in textbooks and seen on tv! Absolutely love this!
After seeing this, y’all totally need to do a haunted town series for Halloween 👻 lol just a suggestion 🤷🏾♀️
Yes,I agree! I would love to 👀 that! I have sleepy in over 35 places. But I would never sleep here!
Yes, please! Maybe visit Bran Castle?
Haha, the haunted mountain (rather a big foresty hill) in Kyiv ,which is called Lysa Hora, is the scariest thing for Halloween night)))
YES PLEASE
I’ve watched other CZcamsrs visit here. They do a walk through as they’ve done with many places...but your video is by far the best. Thank you for the giving us the history as you visited and showed everything. Your video is so full of information and the editing is perfect 👌🏻 This is a documentary!!
This video was amazingly put together and so informative!
You guys should do all 50 states after you do 100 countries!
I think we definitely will... one day 😁
I second this, & feature some cool historical facts about each state. 😊
Great idea 50 states in a rv
@@KaraandNate the plans for hours / time in lounges will be longer than some of the flights !! I flew to WestEdmonton Mall from YYZ for the day once, just for fun 🤪
If you can make Nebraska interesting, that would be a travel miracle.
You have nailed this series so far. Your story telling has been amazing!
I’ve been watching several videos about it in different channels both in Spanish and English and this was my favorite. The way you are giving us the information, the filming, everything was amazing. For a moment I felt I was there with you and I didn’t wanted to breath so I don’t contaminate myself hahaha GREAT GREAT 👍 JOB GUYS!
Thank you 😊
It is truly amazing how well you put all events into perspective. It is just amazing how much emotion you give me and I feel as if I was there with you. What an outstanding video and so well thought out.
Incredible that there are people that live there. What a great experience. I loved when Nate said " We survived Chernoby! Guess you won't know until like 50 years later!!! True. LOL Perhaps that 85 year old man is really 33. He only looks 85 because he eats that giant radioactive squash and potatoes. 😂 They were truly amazing locals. Great video. Thanks for taking us along!
I couldn't watch it all. I live in Japan and lived through the 2011 tsunami (and subsequent fukushima nuclear meltdown) even though I lived in a safe area. Seeing the empty busted buildings and ghostly Chernobyl town is reminiscent of Fukushima and it's not a sight I like
WOAH YOU LIVED THROUGH THE TSUNAMI?!
@@penseetv8960 well technically yeah, I lived in an area where the tsunami didn't hit (Tokyo area) but lived the earthquake and subsequent power outages and radioactive scares yeah.
I love how kind Kara is. You both are. I’ve watched a couple of documentaries on this and yours is by far the most haunting! Great job!
Such an interesting and informative series. I love how you guys tell little stories about each place you visit. I agree you two should have your own discovery channel show
I watched the Chernobyl drama, but you really bought some amazing depth to it.
this is one of, if not the best two part series, vlogs of yours thus far! Thank you for being you!
This is more than a vlog. One of my favorite CZcams channel. Just love your top quality content. You've guys have come a long way. Love you guys.
Wow this is amazing. You guys are so strong for doing this. It’s amazing that you show us what it’s like and I really love watching these videos. Keep up the great work!!!
Thank you!
Your videos just keep getting more and more amazing. These last two have been especially powerful.
Absolutely brilliant insight into Chernobyl and the quality of the filming is fab! You have covered so much in this vlog - thank you xxx 💯 just wow! ❤️
It is amazing what I have learned from yall’s Blogs. Thank you so much for caring what you post. Kara, that piano said thank you and breathed a deep breath when you played it. Very touching film.
The “calculator” is called an abacus 😁
Ur showing ur age knowing that lol
Was also taught that in school! And also used it,even old chinese shops used it!
Carrie Wright I’m in my late 30s and don’t know how to use it lol but I just know what it’s called 😆
@@Lajflak lol oh I see...
@@Lajflak Couldn't use it either today if i tried but yeah,you mentioning it,brought back memories!
Kara and Nate, This was a phenomenal video!!! You both did such an excellent job “taking us there”. I’ve enjoyed every video you’ve made but this one was heads and tails above the rest. A sad, sad moment in history.
The photography and editing were exceptionally good in this video. Very different, I think.
Haven't watched you guys in a while because we were off having our own adventures! So glad to see that you two are still travelling, and I look forward to more videos! Now to binge watch a year and a half of your videos!
this was so well done it feels like a vice report
Huge compliment! Thank you💜
Such a fascinating video! Your skills are so much better than most documentaries I’ve seen !! You’ve have come a long way with those mad editing skills Kara!! You two are amazing. ❤️
Kara, from all the videos I’ve seen, you seem to have this gift of connecting with people and making them feel special. Keep that gift shining bright.
That was an awesome video! That was really interesting following you both around the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Thanks for sharing it.
Really fascinating. Thanks for teaching us so much and love watching your adventures!!! Love watching your adorableness together!
So glad you enjoyed it, Hope 💜
you should see vice or exploring with josh or cody as well
I have followed your blogs. There was something different in this and the last one. It was one of the best from you!
You guys are nuts. I would never risk this radiation!
It’s really safe they’ve been doing this since 2011 you just have to be careful around the hotspots but it’s fine
I wouldn’t either
You already did it, if you ever fly with airplane ))
That pull back shot of the cribs was perfection. So well done! Great video, as always.
Great vlog! Just waiting on someone to put together an "everytime older men LOVED Kara" compilation 😂
Caroline P it would be a hour long.
This is very informative!
One word. Sad
The gas mask that where never worn
Freaky and very sad. I am old enough to remember the accident - so scary. Excellent video (or documentary!) - I felt as if I were there with you and I literally got chills.
The last part of the bloopers makes me so emotional. Thank you for sharing this experience Kara and Nate.
I love the editing of this series!! It really sets the mood of these vlogs and the music is perfect. Amazing!
Great video. This could be shown on 60 minutes.
You are both so talented. Love watching your creative videos.
Roger, thank YOU💙
Kara and Nate, thank you for bringing me here with you. It’s been my loooong time dream to visit Chernobyl, especially the Duga Towers. This vlog made me feel like I was there withy you guys. More power to you as individuals and to your vlog channel as well.
The editing on this video was AMAZING! You gave me chills a couple times. Nate's filming and Kara's editing makes for a very special and spectacular combo!
I’ll never have any desire to want to go here but your guys perspective was enough. I’ll only live through this vicariously this kind of way. Lol. Great video!
I watched this series 3X and I want to tell you guys ........You should be offered a travel/documentary show in the future You are extremely talented
Chernobyl and Pripyat now are very popular for tourists, but do not visit the old medical center of Pripyat (МСЧ-126).
This is really a very VERY dangerous place.
There is a lot of micro radioactive dust that can remain in the lungs forever.
You can’t be there without a suit with a closed breathing cycle.
Please never go there.
I hope my post will help to keep tourists away from that place and keep their health.
Just an amazing video, kudos to both of you. Made my day!
loving the Chernobyl series so interesting and emotionaly touching
We feel the same!
so fascinating!!! I've learnt more in one video than in my history class.
Haha! Love you guys! Support you till the end.
♥♥♥
I have been watching you guys since the Oman trip and the video quality has just reached so high up exponentially!
Both of these videos are VERY well done! From both a content and editing perspective :) Great job Kara for the editing and Nate for the filming/footage!
Kara used to be a teacher??? Also, I just love your vlogs so much. Whenever on your Instagram you say you’ve posted a vlog I get so excited!!
This was a really awesome vlog! I love when you two think outside the box for your explorations! You guys are killing it and please, please keep going! ☺
Thank you Bailey 💛💛💛
How amazing. Not many would even THINK to go there. My admiration is higher for you two. I'm on vacation here at home in California, binge watching!
I just wanna say that Nate flying that drone like a pro! Amazing
Have you been to the Belarus side of the zone? Hardly any tourists visit that side, and Belarus was more affected by it than Ukraine
Love this again! such an amazing experience to have! You guys always put a smile on my face when you upload a new vid 😁 much ♥️ from 🏴
Great to hear Charlotte 😀💜
This was almost as informative as the HBO series itself! Your tour guide seems amazing as well! New subscriber!
Brilliantly edited video. Far play to both of you for showing this.
I'm actually surprised that the Travel Channel hasn't contacted you!
Some weeks ago I found a video on CZcams where some Latvian guys climed up the Duga radar. One guy, who was leading the others, said he had done it several times and even slept at the top one night, because he was afraid a guard will catch him, as he was trasspassing and it is illegal to climb there.
But you as always have made a wonderful documentary. Love your journeys.
This was such a crazy cool video! Not to do an entire film analysis, but the music and sound you guys incorporated made it that much more eerie. Glad I’m finally able to catch up on my favorite videos!
Wow, an amazing insight into one of the most forbidden places in the world..... well filmed and bravely bravely done. Excellent work Nate and Kara.
hi Kara and Nate
, this is great video before I'm sleeping from viet nam!! love this video
Excellent fully enjoyed them 2 mini documentaries well Done
I have always been interested in Chernobyl history and have watched many documentaries about it. I really enjoyed watching your video and seeing your take on everything you encountered. I really loved the view you guys had on top of that apartment. It was breathtaking!! It was just an awesome video...as always. Great narration as always. Even though it's a somber experience, I do hope you both enjoyed yourselves.
Thanks so much for your kind words, Scott! Definitely somber, but so thankful to get a glimpse into history!
This was amazing! I felt like I was watching a proper documentary about present day Chernobyl!
Who else felt this video was like a horror movie and Nate added this sound like from a horror movie
I was thinking more like wow Call of Duty really did their homework
I wrote my term paper on Chernobyl when I was a senior in high school in 1986.
Did you get an A?
I think this and your previous vlog are your best yet. So fascinating and very eerie. You guys did an amazing job with this series. I know I’ll never get to Chernobyl but the good news is I don’t have to because you brought it to me. Thank you.
Thank you for sensitively giving us a behind the scenes of a place most would never go. Your vlogs are informative and fun!
