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 #travelvlog 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. :)
I wish Bhutan to always stay like this , unadulterated , uncontaminated , pure and peaceful . Best ppl in the world .
The Protagonist thank you
I agree with yeshe wangdi
Uneducated , Corrupted , Socialist and fake villages which are made only for Western people .
@@ronydey8826 what socialist?, and the village is the place where the guide was born
@@ronydey8826 wth just because where u live is not like this doesn't mean that village is fake. Bhutan has the most no. of happy people. if u don't believe go check it out urself
I’m Bhutanese. I’ll translate what the man said to Kara at 1:21 “I got my shots and went to pick up my medicines,” then he turned to Nate and said, “Sir” which is him greeting him in typical friendly Bhutanese fashion. At 5:56 the man in the back said, “oh he can pull pretty well.” This is a complement to Nate as most novice or beginners (typically foreigners who try archery) can barely cross the threshold of the back target. Great video guys! I’m very pleased watching this while I’m a several thousand miles away from my native land.
Dorji Drollo thank you!!!
Hey Dorji hopefully someday i can live in your country. Bhutan is peaceful and calm also have a beautiful mountains. Love from indonesia.
Kevin Lofrian likewise I love your country as well. I really want to visit Bali
Hi Dorji drollo i love bhutan i always videos like this about bhutan, it seems like the remote area where i grow up here in the Philippines.. So peaceful and simple living. Love to come to your place soon. Im from Davao city, Philippines
Bhutan is a beautiful country.
Love Bhutan from Bangladesh.
Bhutan is like the Iceland of Asia.
They both are environmentally friendly
They both have great nature
They both have great people
They both look like different planets altogether!
🇮🇸🇮🇸🇧🇹🇧🇹
Try to search batanes in Philippines
@@hellokitty7026 yeah I remember batanes with this
Bhutan is not like Iceland of Asia. Bhutan has a dark past, that they don't wanna talk about. They are trying to hide the truth with some good deeds. Bhutan is like the Nazi party in a alternate universe, were the Nazi party won and killed alle of the Jews. I'm referring to the 100.000 people they cleansed/ethnic cleansing, raped and falsely imprisoned.
This is a quotes: In this world, wherever there is light - there are also shadows. As long as the concept of winners exists, there must also be losers. The selfish desire of wanting to maintain peace causes wars.
@@SoloPlayer777 Toxic people !
Just admit the fact that you are jealous of them🥰
I know you are not happy at your place😀
@@user-tz7fs2fu6o what if I tell you that the princess of that country was stopped at Heathrow airport in London carrying a suitcase full of rhinoceros horns?
Kara is so gracious and brave with the food, such a perfect guest! Her mama must be so proud of how she turned out. Lovely village, too!
czcams.com/video/mOwEpdOyQWk/video.html
Thanks I am from Bhutan I where kara too!
كيف يأكلون بأيديهم مثل الهند ، هناك بالفعل العديد من الطرق لتناول الطعام إذا لم يتم احترام النظافة وليس بالضرورة تناول الطعام باليدين
I said it last time, but I am gonna say it again, you are raising the standard of CZcams travel content and I will always continue to support your great content!
Yeah, they are actually top notch. It's hard for me to watch other travel channels anymore
Decerie Casimero : Pelota!!!
Decerie Casimero : Great contain??? commercial travel advertising?.
Lorena Charlotte Hi, Do I know you? Does it says if I give a sh** about your opinion? none? ok thanks bye! 😂😂😂
Decerie Casimero : Nobody gives a shit about your opinion either and there you are licking...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Do a "Unpacking Our Suitcases After 4 Years" video!!!
Edit: Holy crap 1000 people have liked this post!! Thanks!!
Y e s
YES that would be amazing
Yes!!
YEZ
Yassssss
This is what an ideal vacation looks like in my opinion. Going someplace where the culture is almost alien to my own (American/Anglosphere country), and hanging out with the locals. Learning and embracing their definition of life. This was a beautiful video.
F off we're full.
I love that the dogs can just wander around freely. 🥰
why is nobody talking ab how cute those dogs were
Or how they went into restaraunt called the cum bar.
Aubrey Unger I noticed that too😆
Super duper cute they were
They are super super cute!! I want another dog!!
They Are Adorable 😍😍
MY HEART MELTED WHEN THE MEN STARTED DANCING AFTER HITTING THE TARGET🥺 u can tell how pure an big hearted they are
This was just a casual friendly match...do visit Bhutan and see the real archery match...u will love it...
Oh dear you weren't paying attention were you ?
Those men are the landowners all tall healthy keeping the serfs in place .
#7:32 you see the real working ppl the serf peasants thin , shorter from all the work and malnutrition.
This is a sponsored video 📹, why do you think Bhutan doesn't allow tourists to go alone its because there is a great injustice that needs to be hidden.
Trust me I know this feudalistic village life I've been a guest with my father at these great landowners estates in Asia let's just say the lords dog lives better than the peasants.
They don't own their own their
Time
Land
Freedom of movement
Its like they are living in 1066 Europe.
@@ageofechochambers9469 geez this was posted three weeks ago but i had to reply because your dumbass opinion about how we live is triggering. we have our own freedom of movement . and those people who stay in villages mostly owns their own land and they work for themsleves, bhutan doesnt allow tourist to travel alone not because we want to hide something. theres literally nothing to hide about. you are so pressed its surprising man.
@@ageofechochambers9469 thanks for that info .. still I hope they ll make the best from it .. and being such small population .. there is actually;y a good chance
@@powpowdooog8293 also good to read ..
Sending my love to Bhutan all the way from Philippines! ❤
I've watched this over and over again and everytime I tear up... Love my country...Blessed to be born here...You guys are amazing... Much love from Bhutan 💕
czcams.com/video/mOwEpdOyQWk/video.html
Bhutan #1 place I really dreamed to visit
Ich beneide Dich!!!!
Bhutan the only heavenly country in the world. Love Bhutan 🇧🇹
Then u must visit Pakistan also ,
Will send u 2 heaven directly.
😍
Very Nice.
I'm so Proud of My Country India that it provides $400 Million to $700 Million Financial Aid to Bhutan Every Year 😍😍
Crazy Meteor so will Syria and Chicago
Thank u we love u too
you guys make me wanna drop everything and travel so bad. I love the amount of passion and love you show for every country you visit, truly so wholesome :)
Mission accomplished!
I wanted to do this but I had to work so me being 24 I got a job in Iraq teaching english and did regional traveling so you get the full foreign immersion of local culture (or not if you don’t want)
JUST DO IT
@@KaraandNate That puppy at 14:09 took Nate job of waking Kara with coffee so sweet of him or her waking her with kisses
Then drop everything and travel!! I'll be your 2nd subscriber XD
But seriously, dont let your dream be dream, make it reality. Plan out your days , buy some good cameras and just start vlogging.
Good luck and happy new year(in India).
This village is so beautiful, just like the Obudu castle ranch in Nigeria my country. 💝
I want to go to calabar and visit obudu cattle ranch one day
Bhutan is very beautiful and I’m sure the play you’re talking about is great
Its so much fun.
This is the "socialization,generosity and hospitality "
That we read in books!
Now dramatized so authentically, thank you!
Bhutan is one of the most cleanest and calm country. Love from Himachal pradesh. Tashi delek.
@Baby Sama 48 No one will Rule Bhutan
@Baby Sama 48 It was never colonized
Bhutan ain’t clean tho there is trash every now
@@LightisBrighter Lmao
I love watching videos like this where you get to experience local life! It’s the polar opposite of what most Americans are used too. Really makes you think about your own life and appreciate certain things that you have. For me, it kind of makes me wish my life was as “simple” as theirs. Anytime I see raw and local places like this the people look genuinely more happy. I wouldn’t mind having that!
Totally agree Tyler!
Grab a tent and head to south central LA then.
Dave Holt I’m sorry i don’t remember seeing drug addicts and mentally ill people in Buthan. You should go to south central
@@KaraandNate Pastor please pray for the release of curses and magic. Please pray to facilitate the brain and be given intelligence. Please pray to get rid of the disease in the body. Please pray for smooth finances and be given wealth.
My 2nd favourite country Bhutan ..
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
You guys are raising the bar too high for other youtubers! Splendid content!❤
HAHA I love when Kara was playing with puppies and you hear Nate say “Come on Kara.” How long was she playing with those puppies??? 🤔
2 hours!
You'd have to drag me away from the puppies.
Till the end of time
Toooooooo long
Long enough to make her addicted to the puppers XD
Your vlogs always make my day!!
People like you make ours! :)
Wow! What a wonderful adventure Kara and Nate!!! I've been living in Thailand for 27 years and met several Bhutan students going to Rangsit University so this really helps me understand "where they came from"! Amazing and so beautiful! Country people are always so loving, caring and gentle people.....even here in Thailand. Thanks SO MUCH for sharing this adventure of yours!! I've signed up for you channel!!! Blessings, D
Is no one going to talk about how sweet Kara is???? Like I have never never met someone who so excepting and kind!
*accepting.
Not trying to be a grammar Nazi just wanted to help.
Beautiful....just so beautiful. I feel as if I'm there at times. Thank you Kara and Nate for having such adventurous and fearless spirits. Oh, and for being the open hearted human beings that you both are. Now, I'll make some coffee and finish the video. atb
Awww Christina! Thanks for your sweet comment 🥰 Cheers! ☕️❤️
This was great
Very Nice.
I'm so Proud of My Country India that it provides $400 Million to $700 Million Financial Aid to Bhutan Every Year and also defends its Borders so that Bhutan Doesn't have to spend on and maintain a Military Force 😍😍
22 minute video, I needed this. Thank you, and love you guys.
Glad you’re excited about the length!! 👏🏻😁
matt Harvey I agree. And I know that when it is long, the video is gonna be that much better 😍. Short videos are amazing too but long ones are just perfect.
Visit 🇧🇹 🇧🇹
Love the simple, grounded and authentic lives they have 💕 Thank you for sharing this 😊
czcams.com/video/mOwEpdOyQWk/video.html
I imagine, even after all of these years of awesome travel, that this is one of the best and most memorable and authentic experiences of a lifetime! Wow. Just wow. What a blessing!
Love how respectful you both are of other cultures. Keep it up!
czcams.com/video/mOwEpdOyQWk/video.html
I love how Nate taught the dog about the rice growing procedure.
Hai.. Hw are u.. Very nice country Bhutan..
I like this country Bhutan but no friends and no contact.
I like Bhutan .. I am Malaysian citizen..
Happy new year 2021..
5/01/2021.
not just one of Kara & Nates best videos. But honestly one of the best travel videos I've ever seen. This is a how you make a story with editing and filming techniques.
This is one of my favorite videos you’ve done. Love all of your videos.
I am from BHUTAN and I am proud to say I am a BHUTANESE
your country is beautiful!
Your country is so beautiful and you are safe from China because india has taken the responsibility for bhutans security ,attack Bhutan means attack on india
You are lucky
Sherpa are nepali too
Worst country in the world
I'd never even heard of Bhutan before this video - amazing to see how different people's lives are
Where are you from?
Wow, I love this!!! You guys are amazing for being so respectful.
I watch a looooooooot of travel videos. But this particular video is very top on my list if not the NUMBER 1.
I love it!
Thank you Kara and Nate.
THANK YOU ALL FOR WATCHING AND MAKING THIS VIDEO. THIS IS MY COUNTRY BHUTAN 🇧🇹 THE LAND OF THUNDER DRAGON
#PROUD #BHUTANESE
Someone has read my past life... He told me that I had several past lives before, and the nearest past life before was a woman who lived in Bhutan..
The very coincidence facts are I am still a woman now, really likes spicy foods (spicy is my key taste), I was born to have Dragon sign (dragon year definitely) in chinese horoscope and my family (especially my grandmother) always attached me with "dragon things" since early age, I love animals, especially mammals like dogs, cats, even tigers 😅... Funny fact: i have never try or face anything about archery, but i always curious, and think that archery is a cool sport... I don't know..
I just knew and searched about bhutan after that man who told me about my past life since two years ago... This man is a kriya yoga guru... And I found facts that "booommm" me (I don't know how to say it 😅)
Just sharing, you don't have to believe that... But i have told what that man told to me
@@christinasuhadi well its believble cause we believe in religious people knowing our past life so dont worry😊
It is a beautiful country.
love you bhuthan ...
from sri lanka
I am so proud to be a Bhutanese ❤🇧🇹🇧🇹
The old man was saying that he went to the hospital to get vacinned.
Thank you! I was wondering
lol yea i knew that i found it funny because she thought he had some works to do
Question: How do you know?
@@K.d_ship because I'm from Bhutan.
@@K.d_ship same here
I cried a little when y'all had to say goodbye, such a kind beautiful family. Love this video.
Every now and then, I have to go back and do some "Kara and Nate" reruns....I can't believe it's been so long since I watched this episode! I remember having to wait for it to get posted!! I was SO excited to see it! My favorites are still these from your first travels. I was always excited to watch every single one.
You asked for the local experience and you got it! Wow
Yeah why r u everywhere
I absolutely loveeee Kara’s personality and your relationship to one another. It takes two strong people to commit to these trips and I admire both your adventurous spirits! 💛💛💛💛
Tgey should goget jobs

This is what I want to see. Thanks for showing us a little about Bhutan,

Bhutan is the beauty paradise with down to earth people
Happiest country ever
Unpolluted and natural
Love Bhutan ❤️
First country to recognise Bangladesh even before Independence in 1971
Bhutan's best friend forever Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤️🇧🇹
This has got to be one of my favorite Kara and Nate videos. So simple but so fun to see some fellow westerners immersed in a culture. Keep up the awesome work Kara and Nate, I wish you the best in the new year. My this next year somehow be even greater than this past year for you guys.
I miss my time in Bhutan. It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.
Tashi Delek, everyone.
Hey you guys, you have visited so many countries, yet you are down to earth and humble. I love your attitude of gratitude.
This is your best STORY, COUNTRY, AND VIDEO EVER !!!
WOW !!! 👏👏👏
Thank you for doing this ! 💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️
Incase if u r wondering the local archery guys were saying “ wow for a first timer he is pretty good”
WOW. That's Good to Know what they were saying. Thanks for the translation!!!
The dogs seem so friendly! I'd go just for that lol
Thank you soo much Kara and Nate for visiting Bhutan and for bringing out the beautiful video......do visit again..
Love from Bhutan ❤️❤️❤️
8:44 this was really the cutest movement the cutest dog. All the dogs are so sweet and well mannered not trying to scare you.
Taewong: Goes to his mom’s house
Puppy: “ *I WILL CATCH YOU* “
LOL🐶
Wow, you guys, this video is phenomenal. Probably in my top 10 favorite of all of your videos. Getting to see inside the lives of this Bhutanese village is such a rare treat. This is a glimpse that I never thought I'd get to see. Their houses are fascinating, and just the simple way they live, among the land, in harmony with the animals, is absolutely awe inspiring. They are happy, hard working, kind and generous people. I love it so much!!
Yes, I Agree with You on that one, great fascinating video of the Real Life of the Villagers in Bhutan and I absolutely Loved it.
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for showing such respect for local customs and being willing to try new things. I really enjoyed this video and can't wait to see some of the other places you've visited. I'm preparing to move permanently to my partner's home country in West Africa. I've been watching travel videos of West Africa and the algorithm somehow led me here, VERY far from Africa, LOL! But, I'm glad it did!
Y’all are legends for this fr ❤
You guys are so respectable to the people and culture you guys visit, your content is so wholesome. Love your videos!!
czcams.com/video/mOwEpdOyQWk/video.html
I have heard it said that Butan is the happiest country on earth. Watching the two of you with the locals you can see why. The warmth of the people towards you was wonderful to see. I loved Kara playing with all the pups, I would be exactly the same. Thanks for sharing your experiences it's been lovely seeing all the places and experiences you have enjoyed. Happy New Year!
Western will destroy this beautiful country like Afghanistan. Stay away
@@AAShah-nb5mh Shut up
@Bhutan did Ethnic cleansing of Hindus what does ur user name mean?
This might be my favorite video yet! What a beautiful experience. And so many cute dogs!!
You guys are the best… fit in so well to wherever you are and have such a positive attitude! Love it!
5:40 The man in the "SWAG" toque is life goals
He was ADORABLE 😂❤️
I was looking for a comment about that!
Love you guys!! Have an amazing 2020
Back at you!
MY GOODNESS THANK YOU SO MUCH, travelling around the world is one of my biggest dreams related to English, I've always used to watch those kind of videos to cheer me up and motivate me, but for some reason I have stopped doing it for some time and I felt the impact, today I decided to go back to it, watch some natural video showing the real side of a country I want to travel to, and I found this beautiful channel, you have gotten a new subscriber :)
its just incredibly beautiful journey that you guys did! Love it!
5:50 The dog standing up there looks so majestic!
I am loving how much of this video is just dogs ❤
I know I’m late from when this was posted. But the happiness that those men had shooting arrows made me so happy! I love it.
I believe this was your best video! Why because life is more than our possessions. Love becomes essential!
" his whole face was smiling and he had like.. 5 teeth ." - kara
i was also amused by the flowers in his cap. :D
@@sensei766 he didn't say anything about teeth tf
Wow... I’m amazed by this video. So glad you guys chose to do an authentic custom tour and mingle with the locals. Thanks for sharing their way of living and aww the puppies! Loved them!

“He was the cutest man” poor Nate, also this looked like a beautiful experience to have
What a lovely welcoming family ..such kind hospitable folks to welcome strangers into their personal homes ♡ you 2 are simply the best ambassadors of our great country . Thank you for sharing again
I actually think this may be one of my favorite videos from you guys. What an incredible experience!
This has really inspired me to go even more out of my comfort zone and seek out the true local cultures when I travel to new places! 😍

OMG! amazingly brave you guys..... . . what a lovely family Bhutanese, that you both stayed with... Beautiful, love from India.
That doggo in the end(19:04) was laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 just look at his face😂😂😂😂
And why isn't anyone talking about them.. they are just great.
Okay, but the man wearing a “SWAG” beanie. Such great content- I’m a proud new subscriber :)
Welcome 😊
God! I love Bhutan....Such beautiful and lovely people.
Warm and welcoming....
Bhutan, I love you...I love you....I love you.
P.S: After Mark Weins covered Bhutan, I've madly fallen in love with this angelic country on Earth. God Bless!!!
BTW, I watch many if not all of your videos Kara and Nate.
You definitely make our world HAPPIER.
Old man said “ hi, I went to the hospital got injected and got his tooth checked “. Hahaha nice videos wow. Subscribed to ur channel.
Yup, that's what he said
Thanks I was wondering what he said
I knew that because im from Bhutan
He didn't say anything about teeth
Thanks for translation
Sharing such a genuine local family life experience is such a wonderful experience. Very rare to get such a pure view into another culture. Thank you

I love this! You all are so inspiring! I am so excited to travel this year in my van! Love and blessings!
Stumbled on your CZcams channel, You guys are so fun to watch,now I'm hooked.Thank you for your energy and your honesty in all your experiences..
The only channel I have post notifications on for! Haha❤️
They're so good! They've inspired so many of my travel vlogs.
Same!
Yes we only follow a couple and their travels are so inspirational pleased we've been following them for so long now 🙏🌍👍
For 🥰real!!! And We stop! Whatever we r doing to experience their adventure. 😁
TREAD the globe who else do u follow?
I'm so late in watching these latest vlogs but wow, I love everything about Bhutan! It looks so peaceful, clean, and beautiful. And so many beautiful happy animals!
Except the cow they ate
@@animeshagrawal7974 lmao 😭
I love watching your travel videos. Your videos inspire to travel, maybe not full time but at least to travel to other places.
Best travel video yet!
Who says I need to travel when I can just watch Kara and Nate!
🌎😉
I absolutely love these videos where you immerse yourselves into the local life! It's such an eye opening experience and the villagers looked so kind and welcoming. Also, the dogs were the cutest ever! Bhutan looks like such a beautiful country!
So real and peaceful , great people 💕, wonderful hospitality, salute for Bhutanese people for keeping their rich tradition secure and in daily practice
Of course its paradise. Everybody's smiling. Even the dogs! Wonderful video.
I love the way you guys travel to so many different worlds on a single planet and yet always find a way to bridge the differences (and learn from them), always managing to find that person-to-person connection that tends to get eliminated from organized tours, touristy venues, and "If it's Tuesday..." type traveling. I'm looking forward to seeing #100 and beyond -- and in the meantime, wishing you a happy, healthy, and fun new year!
This is one of the best travel videos i have ever seen. For this video alone you should win a award. You are way ahead of all other bloggers.I cant see my life without your inspiring videaos.
We are envious of how Bhutan preserve everything 🥰 What a lovely country!❤
Absolutely in awe of this video and the experience you both had. Also how people still live in our world 🌎
