    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 business from the spare bedroom of our apartment. We discovered the world of “travel hacking” & became obsessed. So after 2 years of 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 rean 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. 😊🎥🌎

    Let me tell you about the real Kara and Nate. My mother was a big fan of travel vlogs, and she died last month. I thanked all of her favorites for entertaining her. The only one to reply with kind words were these two, despite being the most popular that I reached out to. They are the real deal.

    Great Vlog👍, loved seeing you guys trying to readjust to van life! FYI, you can get large diameter PVC tubes/pipes used for water drainage, put the screw on caps made for it on the ends and attach it to the van roof, or standing upright on the rear doors, to store your skis and poles out of the way so you get to keep the shower! You're going to want to seal the opening of your grey water tank replacement so it doesn't slosh water out going around turns and bumps. Get a piece of rubber sheet (Lowes: "Keeny" 6 inch rubber washer $2.48) cut an opening slightly smaller than the tube so it stays tight around it and clamp it to the jug opening. No leaks or splashes! ....OVER! lol! 🤣

    I am always so happy when i watch your video's. I'm always home since i got disabled almost 8 years ago. I always wanted to go travel, long trips to the U.S, Austalia, Afrika and of course visit everything in Europe. I always thought that I would have time later in life, when i could efford to not go to work for 3-6 months without getting paid. But i never got there... But i am thankfull for your videos, now i get to see how the world looks like, i haven't missed one video in all these years. So guys, THANK YOU, you change my world, thank you for taking me with you all the time. You guys do a great job!! ❤

    Aside from keeping up with the current videos, I am binging your past videos from the beginning. I’ve watched your guys’ videos on and off since 2018 and I started watching every new video since a few months after you started van life. I’m currently on your amazon videos and it’s crazy to see how far this channel has come since the beginning. Thank you so much for sharing your passion and I hope you guys never stop!

    We used that padded floor in our living room on the hard wood floors. We put it under our rug and it makes all the difference in the world. You could also put carpet on top of it in your van and when it gets dirty you just shake them out. We did that in our van as well. So much nicer than muddy floors and when it gets old, we just toss the carpet.

    you guys have changed my outlook on life so much i’ve been watching for about a year on and off but recently been watching every video of yours! the first video i ever watched was the one where you climbed to base camp of everest and OMG i was hocked from there on out. I’m a 16 year old New Zealander and i’ve decided i no longer want to live the ‘normal’ persons life i want to travel and do challenging things and that’s all beacuse of you beautiful people. Thank you for the happiness you bring us all and i hope to see you maybe come to New Zealand once Covid is over!

    Hey y’all!! Not sure if someone else has said this since there’s 2k comments I can’t even check. But!!! It’s important!!! In ski/board culture, make sure to never say “last run of the day” , it’s bad luck!! Always say 2nd to last run of the day even when it’s your last :) that way you won’t fall hehe :) glad to see ya back on the slopes!
