Lebanon has surprised us in in so many ways! The local people are among the friendliest we have met in the world, and today we got to experience many strangers’ kindness as we wandered through Beirut! Lebanon is known to have DELICIOUS food, so today we set out to find it! So many people along the way made this day unforgettable - it was so good that we had to split this video into two parts. :) Here is part 2! • War in Beirut & THIS R...

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 TH-cam 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. :)
Hey y’all :) We hope this vlog inspires you to show kindness to a stranger like the locals showed us today ❤️ And of course hope this makes you hungry 😉 Enjoy!
Kara and Nate love you bro
One of the best things about travelling is you get to find out just how many good human beings populate this planet.
It did inspire me. was a bit dissapointed that the vlog ended so soon. I really enjoyed watching
Actually I am from. Lebanon, and I am very happy that you enjoyed our cuisine. And I want to tell you that I discovered your channel about 4 days ago and i have spend all the time since that day watching your videos since the begening and i never get bored. So thank you for that gorgeous content 😁😁😁!!!
Hi kara and Nate !!!
I know it's random but please come to palistine 😳😳
And if y come to Bethlehem I could give y a tour around for free
LOVE YOU
I know this is never gonna happen!!
I have been to over 52 countries. LEBANON is definitely my favorite destination EVER!!!! I have been there 3 times! Amazing country, breathtaking nature, picturesque sites, wonderful architecture, very friendly people, awesome beaches, very yummy food (I mean really really YUMMY!!!!) and it is very safe!!!!! BEIRUT HAS IT ALL ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your kind words on my country, food and people. People like you are always welcomed in my home country! From a Lebanese in USA!
It's really heart-warming to see that some people like you are actually seeing the reality of our country! If you need any recommendations when you come back let me know i can recommend amazing places. Cheers!
Great ! you are welcome to beirut anytime !!
It is true, but be careful what you record and take pictures of. You could get in trouble with police if you take pictures of a government building or something like this
I SWEAR I COME FROM THERE AND I NEBER WENT THERE😂😂😂 ( but i tasted the amazing food. I felt prangnant 😂
The middle east has amazing food, but Lebanon is on a whole different level.
Yea bro
We arabs are the best at foods especially with spices
I live in lebanon 😁 saids Al janub
Yes, Phoenicians are great with food. Lebanese food is much better than Arab food.
@@cooper3795 bullshit Do not try to laugh at people! And without racism You look silly when you try it in front of foreigners You are an Arab! Stop belittling yourself The entire region (Middle East) Multi-ethnic Mixed with each other So no one brags Ethnic origins Only bastards suffering from a deficiency node! And do not boast of something ridiculous called "Phoenician cuisine" The cuisines of the Middle East were combined with the Turkish and the Armenian
@Josh Zakary That Arab guy 0:02 probably banged her lol
Liar go moroco even am not morocan am saudi moroco is the best then lebanon then palastaine
Thanks Nate and Kara for changing these pre-concieved notions that the media has tried to portray in all these years! Who knew Lebanon would be so safe and welcoming? :) I'm so glad I was wrong! Now Beirut is definitely on my travel list. The government should hire you guys to promote tourism here :D

finally people see my home isn’t that bad!!!
You are welcome any day to lebanon🙂!🇱🇧
Jonathan Paris I’m sure Lebanon also loves you...
@1911HeadBanger please tell me you are lebanese
Kara is restoring my faith in humanity in every part of the world!! ❤️ this was beyond fabulous, we need to stop focusing on the bad events around the world and remember that somewhere there is a giggling Kara and Nate sitting at a table with strangers making friends!
*Those guys at breakfast were so cool! Those are the most memorable moments in traveling*
So grateful you’re introducing people to the beautiful welcoming Lebanon i’ve always known. Media tends to constantly showcase a bad image of the Middle East in general but i’m glad you decided to discover it yourself. I hope you loved my country as much as I do, come back soon❤️🇱🇧
Can you please write the names of the dishes they had for breakfast.
Because the media makes money from scary stuff
@@thnckv
Kunefeh uh
Mankousheh
I didn't watch the whole video so idk
@@josephhsu3221 That is very much the BEST answer on that topic.
Lebanese people are so warm and welcoming even the ones here in the 🇬🇧
thx
I can vouch for the ones here in Canada too.
That is a lovely interaction with the locals! It took some real balls to eat testicles!!! Hahahahah 😲
Love this comment XD
You have no idea how good the testicles tastes :)
they're really good ! lol
It makes me so happy to see people like you in my country. Thank you for showing Lebanon's good image, rather than the image seen on the news. Much love to both of you!! ❤️🤩👍🇱🇧
🇱🇧❤️🤗
🇱🇧❤️🤗
Lebanon image on the mews is not that bad
@@KaraandNate R u there??
Lebanon food really looks good. I hope i can try all of those.
Love from the Philippines!😘🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
my mom is from the Philippines and my dad is from Lebanon!
Halekan muku
Lebanon will always welcome you. We love our guests and hope you'll enjoy the Lebanese hospitality
McDad HAHAHA
I've been thinking of going to Lebanon. After watching this video, I'm definitely going now 😎
Liar u dnt have money to go
@@khalid-xk6vo and who tf are you to say that
Fernando Estrada you’re welcome
Welcome
Good meet me in Ayteet I'm waiting for you
The best thing about Lebanon is that food brings all walks of life together in every corner of Lebanon. I hope you come to Lebanon again so I can give you a proper tour of my beautiful country Lebanon. 💙
I have never been in Lebanon, but I have so many Lebanese friemds here in the Philippines and they are all students. I find them so friendly and hospitable ❤️
Omg I loved that breakfast so much. Meeting strangers in new places is the BEST!

@@HelloINDIAjagritiVLOGs fuck u
Love you all so much! In my opinion, you all are the most loving, open, respectful travel vloggers in the business. If only everyone did this, we would have world peace and understanding for all cultures, especially for their food! Food brings us all together. Thank you for being such a positive FORCE in the world, ya'll! From a fellow Tennesseean and UTK alum.
Thank you Lisa❤️ Go Vols!
I love how locals just invited you to eat with them. That's so phenomenal. How sweet were those guys?? You know how much I love your food tours! So excited!!
I know 😭😭 they were so kind!!!!
@@KaraandNate They were so sweet and hospitable! I mean, it's like finding a hidden treasure when things like that happen. I think it makes for the best experiences!
The instant camaraderie you feel from eating a meal with strangers is such a great experience! I was just in Peru and had an impromptu breakfast with individuals from Guatemala, the UK, the USA, and a couple from Bahrain. It was unplanned, we all had arrived at the restaurant at the same time and there was only one large table available. It was so much fun!
I loved that you all had breakfast together and that both of you (as always) welcomed the help. The world is such an amazing place and I love that you show the side of countries that's not portrayed by the media. The negative side is always sensationalized whereas the kindness and hospitality is typically more accurate.
What a beautiful moment with complete strangers - definitely warms the soul. Many thanks for sharing!
I love when my hubby & I have experiences like that. We never had a meal with strangers, but we met a lovely man in Shanghai a few years back who helped us when we were lost and I'll never forget the experience.
You two are just the best! After watching your vlogs for a few years now I feel like you are just some of my friends that happen to be traveling the world, and I think that is how the people you meet in your travels must feel. You just radiate this open, kind, curious energy and make the world a better place.
It put such a smile on my face seeing those two local men eating with you two and showing you the way! Just reminds me how incredible travel is
So happy you are in my country😍
This is back to form for you guys. The last few months' worth of vlogs felt a little sanitized. This was just magic! Watching you explore and discover is sooo much better than giving us a guided tour!
I'm Lebanese & I had a similar experience yesterday while having lunch at 'Le Chef' in Ashrafieh with a good friend, as the resto was mostly packed with French & Spanish tourists. Everyone was enjoying some local cuisine & smiles were everywhere, the atmosphere was vibrant & truly pleasant! Enjoyed mixing up with a few tourists that kept repeating to what extent they were rejoicing the culture, the food & the people ❤️ The locals here truly go beyond their way, they are welcoming beyond belief, glad you are experiencing Lebanon as it should be experienced! ❤️❤️❤️
So glad to see Nate up and about and just being happy, optimistic Nate! Kara, was totally fascinated by your descriptions of each food you were trying! Thanks for giving us a reference point to each dish. It made the food relatable and gave us an incredible vision of exactly what it must taste like! Not surprised at all by the two friendly men at the restaurant. Anyone who meets you can instantly observe the aura of kindness that you present to others! Take care. Happy Travels.
I'm loving your middle eastern countries vlog, really changing the perception about these places!! Nobody captures the local culture like you guys😍 I love how Kara is always the first one to try out all the "exotic " foods and then Nate warms up😂😂
meeting local people and talking with them gives a totally different perspective than what we would get being tourists and doing touristy things
Lamp testicle is a delicacy in Lebanon.
Love from Melbourne Australia
The food eating reactions are just so amazing. I want to catch a flight to Lebnon just to have all the food there 🙂
🇱🇧🇨🇭❤🤙
Great food, hospitable people, beautiful country.
Please keep showing us the human side of a beautiful country that we don’t get to see in the media
Great job on this video. Showing us all that places that many would deem off limits are really not scary or inhospitable in the least. I agree with you Kara... when you let yourself engage with locals the true experiences emerge. Love how you guys approach travel.😀
I remember watching your old videos and Kara sort of being hesitant to visit the Middle East and I got so happy when she says how she loves the Middle East now! As a Canadian who loves to learn about new countries, your channel is doing great! Keep up the good work!
I know how crazy is that??? Travel had made me a better person for sure ❤️😊
When I was in Sri Lanka recently I was doing a guided tour of the city just by myself with a guide. I asked him where should I go for dinner and he took me to this little street food stall in the middle of a very non-touristy part of Colombo. There was this group of Sri Lankan men sitting around about to eat, and they told asked to come and join them which I did. We all basically just ended up having this big feast on a plastic table on the side of the road, it was absolutely delicious! A lot of them were tuk tuk drivers so told me about their lives doing that, in quite broken english, but it was just a wonderful experience! One I won't ever forget! This video made me remember that!
This is the best video. We did this when visiting Corfu Greece. Hung out with the locals in small towns and sharing a meal. Brings back great meals.
trying local food is the best way to connect with any country's culture.. especially sharing a table with locals, getting all types of food and sharing stories of the city and history. by enjoying food, it shows that we are all similar in having great food and everybody can get along just great through food. its a win win situation if we all appreciate everyone and their culture... a world can be a better place for all through the love of food...YES, no better way to start your day for breakfast than having some juicy testicles...
Hi Kara & Nate! Still home recovering from spine surgery. I'm all caught up. I've watched ALL your vlogs. The Maldives were by far the most beautiful place I've seen. Every country is so interesting and I'm learning so much. Can't wait for the next vlog. Love you guys!
I was just watching the old videos of yours from 2016 and now I'm the latest one! You guys have evolved amazingly!❤️ I admire you both because of your simplicity and respectful manners! Love you guys! ❤️
Kara you have such a sweet way when your explaining food , i was mesmerized listening to you and drooling at the same time , loved loved loved this vlog cant wait for more.
I love the way you two embrace the locals and try new things without fear. awesome video!
Y’all really love Lebanese food! I might have to give it a try
Whoa! Nate loved the Knafeh so much he forgot the camera thing and let Kara vlog! 😂😂 Look at him walking behind her. 😂
Do you know what sucks about watching the foodie part? There is nothing like this where I live.
Nate's face saying the lamb testicles are good. 😂
I wish that better times would come to all the people they met in this episode, such a beautiful country
Kara’s “this is so good” face is the best part of these videos! Love watching your adventures!
I went to el soussi last sunday morning ... amazing ... loved it .. going back again.. the fatteh is out of this world
Finally a person who is actually talking about the positive in lebanon
I love that you're visiting places with a not so great reputation in recent history and showing the beauty and culture of it. I grew up hearing about Beirut on the news and would have never thought to visit. But the people, food and culture shown here has changed my mind! ❤
Same goes to all countries of the world, we always have a specific ideas about places formed by media mostly, it is always different when you actually experience things for yourself.
Kara's positivity is so much needed! I just know Lebanese eat a lot of bread 🍞🍞
When I was a kid growing up in Beirut, I used to eat Kunafa jibn every morning!!!
This is what life is all about folks!! What a wonderful meal shared with new friends. Will be anxiously awaiting part 2!!
Stay you 😘
Your videos give me joy! I love learning about cultures through your videos and you guys are just so happy and humble, May God Bless you in your travels. ☺
❤️❤️❤️❤️
*This is the video we’ve been waiting for! Excited to see all the amazing Lebanese food*
its so cool to see how far youve come! Youre so confident kara just sitting and chatting with the locals x
اخواتي اللبنانيون ارجو ان تطورو في بلادكم لكي كل سائح يأتي يراها جميلة وشكرا💗

Lebanon and the area near have never been on my radar of places to go to ...but now....YUM! Let's do this!
It wasn’t on ours until recently. It’s amazing how much travel can teach you! Now this is one of our favorite regions of the world ❤️❤️❤️
@@KaraandNate I love your videos and can't wait to start traveling more. A teacher's salary isn't cutting it right now, but it will happen someday! 🥰
I hope you got your new friends names that you had some food with. They seem so kind. Should go back to see them one time & stay with them in their homes.
the old man in the beginning was the sweetest!
I love your passion on food, and always embracing the culture. Also, enjoying the local people, I Love seeing your both you and the kindness you give to others.
You guys are so kind. I'm glad you had a good time there. You made me so hungry. I've never seen so many kind comments about my country. Thank you guys.
You guys! Not only was this a great video (as always!) but its so important! You guys are doing important work portraying the middle east for what it really is; As Americans, we need more of these videos! thank you for this!
Great video. Can't wait for part 2!!! The strangers you met were awesome!! That's the best way to travel, meet new people. Loved this episode..
I was in Beirut two week ago and I found this restaurant through TripAdvisor I asked the waiter what would you suggest and he suggested fatten and testicle ( which I didn’t know) but It was good though. I found through this video that I had testicle.
“This feels wrong. You feeding me ‘you know what’” 😂
Ugh, I love Lebanese food! Thank you for taking us on your food tour. 😍
I cried laughing at that too!
This video made me extra happy. Lebanese food is the best food in the world, as far as I am concerned. Looking forwrd to part2.
South asain food is the best and im from lebanon
I found you guys about a year ago... I love the whole Jordan series, but this video made me fall in love with you two. The way you honor local people just shows your heart. I've now re-watched from the very start and can't wait to see where you go next!!! :D
Woww Lebanese people are so hospitable. What a great nation.
Love from Melbourne Australia
such a lovely place and the people seem so amazing, anywhere else in the world you leave something it will most likely get stolen, but the fact the man put to the side and watching over until you came back was great, not something you see everyday.
also you are BRAVE!!! I would have never eat Testicles LOL
This is so wonderful eating local food with the locals! Can't get any authentic than this👍👍!
i really enjoyed this video , hope you will come another time and discover our Lebanese mountain , its a whole different experience , food is much much better , the people are more friendly , i loved how you describe Lebanese people , and your positive energy and smiles reflect to the strangers you meet , you are more than welcome in Lebanon !!!!
I’m literally crying I miss leb 🥺
Those guys were so sweet and kind and funny 😄 so glad that there are still kind hearted people in this world.
Hey guys. Hope Nate is feeling better now. That desert looks amazing Nate! That face after the testicalthough😂
He’s so much better thank you❤️❤️ Hahaha we aren’t very good at hiding our true emotions 😂
Kara and Nate that’s great news 😄
This was amazing to watch. Connecting with locals is why you travel.
It’s one of our favorite parts ❤️
And this is EXACTLY why we travel!! Loved this!
Watching food day at my bedtime is a bad idea. STARVING NOW. Wonderful film as ever. Food days rock!!
Recently found your vlogs and have been absolutely loving them and binging all of them!! ❤️❤️
Thank you for showing Lebanon’s true environment and hospiality! Earned my subscription.

Hey thank u so much Kara and nate for ur visit to Lebanon i am lebanese lebanese and a lot of people have a bad view about my beautiful contry on the internet so thank u for showing and changing people's perspectives on lebanon 🇱🇧🙏😄😄❤️❤️
watching your guys videos has inspired to me to try so many new things! you guys are so positive and uplifting. i’ve shown so many of my friends you guys and they also love you!
That’s so lovely to hear!!💛💛💛
All of that food actually looked pretty great! =)
This is nothing. Food made in the villages is 100 times better.
Dephi TV Lebanese grandmothers (speaking from personal experience) cook better than that by far
I LOVE that man that ate with you guys and introduced everything. He’s such a well spoken gentleman really just wants you guys to have a great experience on a relaxing morning for him. Side note I was wondering why all the food seemed so familiar until I realised I always go to this middle-eastern bakery for lunch and it’s LEBANESE but I forgot that it was because we just go there because the food is so good! You see everyone of all cultures and backgrounds there and once when I ate there, the older Lebanese couple next to us actually suggested dishes to us and were a lot like that guy you guys ate with. So lovely!!
You guys make me so happy! You guys are always so positive no matter what the situation is! It’s *GREAT!* It’s fantastic how you guys are so confident with meeting locals! When I come home from school I’m so excited to see what you guys got up to! Just wanna let you guys make my day just that little bit better!❤️
Even though I’m still very young you guys inspire me to follow my dreams! I finally got to visit my favourite country since I was 4! I got to visit Italy! It was amazing! We went on a huge cruise through the Mediterranean Sea! It was an experience of a lifetime! Thanks to you guys I got to follow my dream!❤️
You two compliment one another so well!
Thank you so much for these great words u said about my country much of love and most welcome ❤
Kara, you and I are kindred foodie spirits! I love watching your face light up when you try something that you love! Thank you for sharing these fun vlogs!
they ate the best food in lebanon I think. I feel happy that someone ate what we eat. I always recommend people to eat these, and finally saw someone actually try them.
0:57... The way she said it "I don't know what he asked" make me laugh so hard that I coughed and spat my food at my mum 😂😂😂
I'm chuckling over the lamb testicles. Two years later and they're in the US eating it everywhere 😄
i loveee your lebanon vlogs, my grandma was born in beirut and I am 50% middle eastern so i love to see the culture and people there and see you guys try the food my grandma cooks all the time:)
Food vlogs are my favorite! The best way to experience a place is through the food
That’s convenient because they are our favorite too!!
Thank you for showing the real amazing image of my beloved country lebanon ❤️🤍🙏🏼
You guys always get me excited for my next travels! All the delicious food and incredible cultures you immerse yourselves in is truly beautiful!
That’s so nice Aislinn! ❤️
I never knew what Lebanese food was like and I assumed it probably wasn't that interesting but it looks so good!!
Lea Whaaaa... Lebanese food is famously good! There's a reason there are so many great Lebanese restaurants!
It's absolutely amazing!! Go find a Lebanese restaurant near you!
It’s the best food on Earth. Not because I’m Lebanese but it is the reality!! (Check it on the internet)
I love Lebanon ❤ cannot wait for my semester abroad there, your videos hype me up even more 😄
Tabea M wow that’s so cool I wish you luck!
we have Lahmacun in Turkish culture too its super yummy!! (I'm from Australia so we can only get it in kebab stores and Lebanese bakeries here but its soooo good )
Arab hospitality is unparalleled
Yet another great travel vlog ❤️❤️
Keep up the good work!!
- Hugs from Malaysia 🇲🇾
That was the best laugh I've had yet from you guys. Nate's comment, "This feels very wrong, you feeding me . . you know what . . "
*You just have to not think too much about what is is and just enjoy it. Lamb testicles are good and glad you enjoyed them!*
