Nate’s personality has come out so much more this year than ever before and it seems like you both are genuinely enjoying yourselves. It’s been so enjoyable to watch, since ive been watching y’all since 2018. Can’t wait for many more years of videos!
I've noticed the change, too. I think it's more a shedding of Tennessee "man" and embracing who he is finally.. with no apologies. 💪 I honestly attribute it to hanging out with so many comfortable, awesome quirky men like Eamon and Craig :D
Thanks for sharing your version. Everyone brings a unique perspective. England and America separated by a common language. Smile. These rental boats must get beat up daily!
I worked for the Waterways for many years and you guys depicted it so well. It's a whole community and there is always someone willing to help. Well done guys you did great! ❤
How’s it supposed to be pronounced? In my east coast of the United States speech pattern, those two words sound exactly the same but if they’re not supposed to, I’d love to know how Wales is supposed to sound - I’ve had a pretty good handle on the other one for a while. 🙂
Massive grin on my face watching you go through my country’s lovely countryside. You rarely see youtubers go there, but this really shows how beautiful it is. And narrowboating is an institution! I’ve always wanted to do it, and you have reminded me why. Also watching you guys explain cask ales and canals makes me realise what it must be like for anyone watching your vids from that particular country, it’s great seeing you experience it all for the first time!
i was born, and haved lived here all my life and i always let the views that you guys see in this video go over my head because its so normal to me. this video, however, has made me appreciate how beautiful my country can be 💕. thank you for being my favourite travel people on youtube
I have been living in the UK for 9,5 years now and I am just amazed day by day how beautiful the famous British countryside is. Beautiful country for sure!!! I am grateful to be able to live in such a beautiful country :-) I hope I can get to try these narrows boat for a few days too one day it looks so much fun
As a Brit that loves cask ales and spends a lot of time on the canals, I went through a range of emotions watching this video. Firstly, Wales is not a Whale... 🤣 I was happy, that you chose to take a narrow boat out. I loved that you enjoyed the great British countryside. I was horrified that you compared a cask ale to a flat, room-temperature American beer though the beer you chose looked super light, you want to try some darker ales. Most of all, I'm so happy to see my homeland at its best in one of your videos ❤
As a Canadian with an English husband, I remember first seeing and learning about the canals. Especially seeing the locks work for the first time. Now when we visit family, I love running on the canal paths, seeing all the green on the sides and boats in the canals. ❤
What can be better at the start of a 3 day weekend than with a new Kara and Nate video? I just love how you shout out Eamon & Bec and Habit and also Craig & Aimee ❤
Yalls personalitys gets me through these weird days im having rn. The little comments like "you did great, you only hit the wall 10 times!" make me laugh so hard. AND THE "KATE AND NARA". Yall also give me the confidence to ask for help. Thank you.
Holy cow Nate! You've grown so much in your freedom to be yourself on camera! Kara is always dang adorable, but you were so funny. All episode was just a lot of fun and both of your happiness really shined! Sending so much love and safe travels to you from Columbia Falls Montana! You came to Whitefish for skiing!❤
Nate seemed especially goofy in this trip and I can see how much Kara adores that side of him. Kara, I love your ability to take uncomfortable moments in life and realize that you CAN do it! It inspires me. 💕💕 What a fun video! 🥰 You guys have seemed to enjoy the last few months so much! Keep the memories going for you and us 😂🥹
I feel like there is an entire community of people in the UK that just hang out by those canals and locks just to help out. Everyone is so polite and helpful.
I am enjoying this adventure of yours, my last stab at canal boating was about 15yrs ago when I could still jump off and tie up but now I am wheelchair bound and unable to ever do that again but get enjoyment from watching other vloggers do their stuff-thanks for inviting us all 👍
I'm too ill to travel anymore so your videos have been a lifesaver and kept me from going stir crazy being stuck in the house. Thank you SO MUCH, Kara and Nate.
Who raise your hand if you’re loving all the canal videos this week- great minds must think alike, since several of my favorite TH-camrs are doing canal videos this year. Loving seeing it all, and how even though everyone may go to the same places, they all capture different things in their videos. Cool to see. 👏❤️
The canal towpaths you mentioned are brilliant for easy countryside walks as you don't hit any hills. I also walked down a canal path every day to get to university when I was younger. These waterways are such a staple of the UK countryside. It says a lot how something so well known and ordinary to us as Brits is still fascinating to watch when you guys make a video about it! 🙌
They all yes on TH-cam This is their job,do they yes when they go too another country it is for work or something else when they tick the reply, Quister box.😮😮
Your videos make me realize how much joy there is in the world and how much I need to embrace it! Can't wait for my next trip overseas! Thank you for the constant reminders, Kara and Nate!
Im actually a Brit from Ellesmere! an amazing place. I’ve been watching you guys for years now and Didn't think you guys would come to such a small town! It’s really surprising and lucky to be one of those places that tourists don’t visit much. Safe travels!
I’ve grown up with canal boating as family holidays they are a different level of chill. Watching the world go by at 4mph in the middle of the Welsh countryside. It’s so beautiful and a lovely way to be close to nature. I Love your videos. Keep up the good vibes ✌🏻
@DownieLive 's narrowboat series added narrowboating to my bucket list, this video just bumped it to the top! Looks like such a great mix between adventure and relaxation.
This is my favorite episode yet!!! My husband and I love watching you two have adventures we'd never be brave enough to do, but this one is something I'd never considered. We love travelling around the UK in the summer (we are teachers in Florida and it's just too hot here). We also love exploring without having to drive. This mode of transportation looks fun and different and we're planning a narrow boat trip now. Show us more ways to travel without driving!
I watched a series by Downie Live a while back where he traveled the canals by narrowboat and I had never even heard of it before. It looks like so much fun, although a bit scary being the one to maneuver the boat. Your footage was beautiful, such stunning views to take in and what better way than just floating down the canal right in the middle of it. Dreamy Kara had me cracking up! Too cute!!! I really want to stay the night in that unicorn and panda boat, that was so much fun to see. The locks seem terrifying, although I'm sure they're a bit easier than they look. I can imagine the relief you felt when the second lock had two people helping you through. I love that random people just stopped to help with the drawbridge or anchoring the boat to the side at the end of the day. That last aqueduct looked seriously so scary with that drop on the one side, but you two did great, as always. Such a fun adventure and amazing footage.
As a Welsh girl who moved to America, I miss it so much! I will always recommend seeing North Wales and the Snowdonia region. I’m from Bala and the lake (Llyn Tegid) is amazing along with the Bala railway! Love seeing Llangollen as well! Cymru am bath!!! 🏴🏴
Kara shouting I’m not having any fun as Nate gives a maniacal laugh made this the BEST video ever!! Enjoyed your latest adventures so much!! Aloha from Kauai, Hawaii 🌴🐬
I loved this episode! It feels more like the Travel Videos you guys put out pre-pademic where you weren't always staying at the best locations and going to more interesting places. Keep it up!!!
Fantastic episode. One of your best. Loved the leisurely travel interspersed with suspenseful antics. Kudos to the locals who provided needed assistance ❤
Who else said “Yes!“ when Nate said he missed van life?!? I found this channel during their van life adventures and it will always be my fav and have a special place in my heart.
I used to live in a narrow boat for the first six years of my life in England so this video is so nostalgic for me 🥰🥰 hope you enjoyed your time in our beautiful country xxx
These latest videos hit home for me! I work for JetBlue and are glad you liked the Mint experience! I also have family in Wales - the weather can be awful but it’s a beautiful land! I dragged my (pregnant) wife on a week of canal boating in 2001- we were like you guys, didn’t know a thing and yet we had to complete a full 100 mile ring in a week (and about 95 locks!) It was an amazing adventure! Liked it so much we did a different ring with some friends in 2007! I also know Llangollen well and have walked (and ridden) across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct many times over the years…it truly is an incredible feat of engineering and, yes, it is scary! If this were in the US, it would have warning signs everywhere and be completely sealed to prevent people falling to their deaths!
Brilliant! I’ve been waiting for you to do a ‘proper’ UK adventure. We have a share on a boat on the Norfolk Broads. Very different to the Llangollen canal, but as we are Welsh we appreciate your fleeting visit across the border. Glad to hear you are still in touch with Craig and Amy.
This is probably one of my favorite videos. Love the scenery of this one. I miss your van life videos and this definitely brought it all back. Thank you for sharing!
I am really loving this new content where you guys go on new adventures, letting us know what all new possibilities are there to explore! you guys are literally writing my travel bucket list !! thanks for the work you put in!
So funny watching you guys do something that isn’t crazy fast and risk taking. Just beautiful to see you contemplating and going slow but still sharing such beautiful experiences and scenery. I loved this one. I am old need these kind of inspirations xxx
my favorite thing about being a fan of multiple travel youtubers is seeing them try the same thing, you guys all have different experiences and i love seeing how you handle it.
This particular adventure seems so accessible to most of us. I've never been to the UK but this would be an amazing part of a trip there. Thanks, as ALWAYS, for sharing your travels!!! ❤❤
You two are literally living the life i wish i had done. Travel and world culture experience is the greatest gift in the world. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I’m so grateful for having them to share their experiences with us! I love watching their videos every week both here and on daily drop. Thank you Kara and Nate!
The ideal combo is a narrow boat plus bicycles. That way you can explore farther afield if you want to, pick up groceries etc. 2:38 Four mph is 6.3 kph. 4:15 Steering is easier once you realise you're not trying to move the bow but the stern. So to curve to the right you move the stern left by moving the tiller to the left.
I live 5 miles from Llangollen and walk my dogs along that canal, if would of been amazing to see you both. Hope you enjoyed this part of our lovely country xx
I actually want to do this now! Thanks so always inspiring us and showing us little places of the world we wouldn't have known of otherwise! You both are really great :)
You two really mix things up & do such interesting stuff ! This one is in my neck of the woods, good to see you enjoying the Welsh Borders & canal life.
This is so strange for me to watch, I’ve lived in the Llangollen area my whole life so to have you guys coming to see it is amazing it’s a beautiful place!
I really appreciate and enjoy you putting in the educational/history part of this video. Would love to continue seeing that in the future! Would have enjoyed you doing more exploration of the local towns and less van life parallels (the home-cooked ramen lol), but really really did appreciate the history of what we're seeing you do!
Never heard about this type of trip before and had someone described such a trip to me, I wouldn't have thought it would be something I'd like to do. It looks absolutely amazing. Definitely will be looking into doing this at some point.
I live about a mile from the Leeds Liverpool canal and although we don't boat, we use it all the time for fishing and walking the dog. And in the current fabulous weather, there's nothing better than sitting in a beer garden with a cold drink and watching the watery world go by. The canals are a huge part of our history and culture and it's great to see you enjoying them. By the way, I've walked the Llangollen aqueduct and that was scary enough. Hats off to you for taking a boat over, especially as newbies. Good job guys, but Kara your British accent needs a little work. Your Australian accent was spot on though😂
Omg you guys. I didnt realise how British we were untill this video. We walk the canal every day when were home, drink "Ale" & say tar 😂🇬🇧👍🏻 We have been folowing your inspiring chanel for about 6 years now. We have recently come back from doing the EBC trek thanks to finding it years ago through you guys. Keep up the great work guys. We can't express how much we admire your hard work and dedication to your channel 🤙🏻✌🏻
this may be one of my fav videos from y’all. this was so fun and relaxing to watch! i never even knew something like this existed and now i so badly want to do it😂😂
my nan and grandad used to live in a flat (appartment) alongside that canal and i used to and still do go down to the river and watch the boats come past. so relaxing and one of the best parts of my life hahaha. they live in leighton buzzard!! huge fans of you guys btw!!!!
I dont know if you'll see this in time but If you're gonna be in Wales, you HAVE to see if you can go to a place called bleanau ffestiniog. They have trampolines suspended in the air inside a HUGE slate mine cavern as well as ziplines and mine tours its AMAZING!! (Its called bounce below) Also if you head to Pembrokeshire you need to bosit the jolly sailor. A gorgeous little pub with the most INCREDIBLE views at sunset!! X
That was so entertaining and I think you guys should do a longer canal boat trip through England Wales or Scotland and join up with "Craig & Amy from Kinging it" and then you could take turns and compete in challenges like you've done before! That would make an epic vlog for both of your channels! And hopefully a bit of an adventurous holiday too! 💕💕👍😍🇬🇧🏴🏴
I remember now!! This is how I found y'alls channel!! The other long boat videos I ran into one day! I got hooked on your personalities and been binging since!!✌🐢
I love every single one of your videos! You both are such a cute couple!!! Thank you for continuing with the travels. ❤ don't ever stop. I won't know what to do with my Saturday mornings
As a Canadian I knew what was going to happen as soon as Nate tried to feed the goose Canadian geese are a different breed of goose but they’re nicknamed “Cobra Chickens” here so I think that tells you all you need to know 😂 My sister and I have both been chased by geese (on different occasions). They’re cute but they’re crazy
Love this... the Llangollen Canal was the first canal my family did over 20 years ago, we then went on to do a canal holiday every year and even brought a boat 13 years ago
Did the Oxford Circle in my much younger days! This brought back so many memories. Bonking (as we called it) into the walls was a frequent occurrence, and not getting the locks closed tightly enough! Actually drained a section of the canal one night! Boy, folks sure were mad the next morning! And they knew it was us because we were the last boat in the line up. Ah, fun times! Thanks for the vid! You two are great!
Aww this video was amazing! Seeing you guys Enjoy some of my home towns was a pleasant surprise, I've always loved Canal boats and funny enough I've been on that exact one you guys rented, Hope you enjoy your stay in Wales our country side is beautiful :)
That was a super fun video and one of your best (and that is saying a lot). You guys really know how to put them together and edit them. A canal boat holiday is way up near the top of my list and in the UK too. Ive done a river/lake one in Ireland and that was a great experience. And yes I know all about steering and parking issues 😁. Kara's British accent is actually improving!! Look forward to your next one.
I have been watching you for years now, and I can’t believe you’re in my home country of Wales 🏴🏴🏴 hope you enjoy all that there is on offer ❤
This was one of our favorite videos y’all have done! And we now want to own a narrowboat and travel through the canals for a year haha 😂. I also love Nate’s sense of humor in this one lol
That’s what we’ve been trying to tell everyone for years! There’s more to England than London, Manchester and Birmingham. Our towns and villages are beautiful too.
Nate’s personality has come out so much more this year than ever before and it seems like you both are genuinely enjoying yourselves. It’s been so enjoyable to watch, since ive been watching y’all since 2018. Can’t wait for many more years of videos!
I've noticed the change, too. I think it's more a shedding of Tennessee "man" and embracing who he is finally.. with no apologies. 💪 I honestly attribute it to hanging out with so many comfortable, awesome quirky men like Eamon and Craig :D
Love seeing you doing a
narrow boat trip. It’s a unique take.
I’ve seen Donnie Live do it and recently the Wynns.
Thanks for sharing your version. Everyone brings a unique perspective.
England and America separated by a common language. Smile.
These rental boats must get beat up daily!
they were drunk.
@@valarya Really? I didn't watch them much before the last year or so, so that's interesting
Glad you guys got to experience the narrowboating on the Canals! It’s one of my favourite adventures!
As always, thanks for the smiles 😊
The legend himself 💪.
Love your videos on canal ride..going to watch them again 😊😊😊..
Immediately thought of your videos when they posted!
You did this video first!! ❤
mike and kara and nate collab when
I worked for the Waterways for many years and you guys depicted it so well. It's a whole community and there is always someone willing to help. Well done guys you did great! ❤
Canal boating is so fun!! We loved doing it. Just to let you know, it's Wales 🏴 not whales 🐳
Haven't watched the video yet, maybe there are whales
We all know how much Americans love watching Whales :)
whales in a Welsh canal would be impressive
How’s it supposed to be pronounced? In my east coast of the United States speech pattern, those two words sound exactly the same but if they’re not supposed to, I’d love to know how Wales is supposed to sound - I’ve had a pretty good handle on the other one for a while. 🙂
@@mdurham2137 pronounced the same, just spelled without the h

@@FrugalMrB might give me some ideas, thanks!
Makes me wanna try it!
Me too and with it starting in the north of England not far from where I live beautiful ❤
I enjoyed it too! Made me quite homesick as a Brit living in Florida. I'm from the NW of England. Also had me looking up the price of narrowboats lol
@@carolyn4407 sending you lots of love from a Sunny Warrington Carolyn 💗 I hope your not too homesick I’m sure Florida is beautiful too ❤️xx

I am grateful to be able to live in such a beautiful country :-) I hope I can get to try these narrows boat for a few days too one day it looks so much fun
As a Welsh person this made my day “WHALES” I understand that you don’t know what it is but it’s spelt like WALES
Omg I had to scroll through way too many comments before seeing someone write this!!! Fellow welsh person here and I was like 😂😳
I'm Dutch but the first thing i thought was it's Wales 😂😂 Whales swim in the ocean🐳🐳
Not all Americans would misspell it like that 😉 lol
Dude, I'm English and even I'm yelling "WHALES"??!!
I hit up the comments just to see who would catch “Whales”

I feel like there is an entire community of people in the UK that just hang out by those canals and locks just to help out. Everyone is so polite and helpful.
Its called the canal and river trust
There are people who man them all year round and they have houses beside them too
Yep, they're called Lockies x
The official CRT lockies are volunteers but just regular people like to help as well. It's a way to socialize, get exercise and help out all at once.
Gongoozlers. Seriously... The word actually means people who like watching the activity on the canals.
THIS HAS BEEN MY FAVE EPISODE! The composition of your storytelling in this episode has been so well done, just beautiful!

We converted an empty narrowboat and now have our very own floating home on the British waterways. Love to see you guys getting a taste for it 😍❤️
That’s amazing!! How much do the boats cost? I’ve never seen a boat like that in the US!
@@kutie216 We made a video on our channel all about costs but around £40,000/$50,000 for a decent working boat similar to what K&N rented!
Glad to see you here too, Ingemar/Jeanette.

As a Welshman, Diolch for using Eryri first.

Thank you for making a travel vlog about the UK that really represented it not just London! I live in Oxfordshire and its just like this!
The ideal combo is a narrow boat plus bicycles. That way you can explore farther afield if you want to, pick up groceries etc.
2:38 Four mph is 6.3 kph.
4:15 Steering is easier once you realise you're not trying to move the bow but the stern. So to curve to the right you move the stern left by moving the tiller to the left.
I live 5 miles from Llangollen and walk my dogs along that canal, if would of been amazing to see you both. Hope you enjoyed this part of our lovely country xx
Whales? The welsh are gonna come for you 😂
I actually want to do this now! Thanks so always inspiring us and showing us little places of the world we wouldn't have known of otherwise! You both are really great :)
You two really mix things up & do such interesting stuff ! This one is in my neck of the woods, good to see you enjoying the Welsh Borders & canal life.
This is so strange for me to watch, I’ve lived in the Llangollen area my whole life so to have you guys coming to see it is amazing it’s a beautiful place!
I really appreciate and enjoy you putting in the educational/history part of this video. Would love to continue seeing that in the future! Would have enjoyed you doing more exploration of the local towns and less van life parallels (the home-cooked ramen lol), but really really did appreciate the history of what we're seeing you do!
Starting my day off right with Kara and Nate! You guys inspire me to live my best life everyday ❤
Wales! The welsh dragon will take revenge I’m sure. 😂
I looooooove watching Kara freak out about ducks and cows and pubs *right in the water*! I’m so glad you enjoyed your time in my home country! :D
Never heard about this type of trip before and had someone described such a trip to me, I wouldn't have thought it would be something I'd like to do. It looks absolutely amazing. Definitely will be looking into doing this at some point.
Check out DownieLive's multi-part series on narrowboating, too. I've wanted to do this for 25 years... maybe someday!
DownieLive recently did this and it was a hoot! Thanks!
This is absolutely amazing! Didn’t think foreigners enjoyed our crusty old canals!
I’m from the UK so it’s so cool to see you guys in the country !! and show that there’s more to England than just London 😂
Loved this! Saw the Downie Live narrow boat series and am so glad to see you doing this. Definitely on my bucket list.❤
Loved this one. It’s really cool to see how tourists see our country. We so take it for granted.
Loving the spelling of wales😂
Watched the whole video, did not see any whales. Unsubscribe! 😂😂😂
DownieLive did this weeks ago and his video was amazing!! He was very informative and showed how beautiful the canals were!
I love that you two actually seem to genuinely LIKE each other. Not all vanlife / travel couples do.
lol wow
@@jj-if6it um, what?
@@DawnSelene what travel/van life couples don't like each other?!
@@jj-if6it lol, did you take that personally?
@@DawnSelene weird comment that's all
I'm in the UK and a Cask Ale drinker. Nate's description of it was incredibly accurate 😂
As a narrowboat fan, love this video
That’s a lot drinking a whole cask
I live about a mile from the Leeds Liverpool canal and although we don't boat, we use it all the time for fishing and walking the dog. And in the current fabulous weather, there's nothing better than sitting in a beer garden with a cold drink and watching the watery world go by. The canals are a huge part of our history and culture and it's great to see you enjoying them. By the way, I've walked the Llangollen aqueduct and that was scary enough. Hats off to you for taking a boat over, especially as newbies. Good job guys, but Kara your British accent needs a little work. Your Australian accent was spot on though😂
Lol i thought she sounded more like me than Aimee
Omg you guys. I didnt realise how British we were untill this video. We walk the canal every day when were home, drink "Ale" & say tar 😂🇬🇧👍🏻
We have been folowing your inspiring chanel for about 6 years now. We have recently come back from doing the EBC trek thanks to finding it years ago through you guys.
Keep up the great work guys. We can't express how much we admire your hard work and dedication to your channel 🤙🏻✌🏻
this may be one of my fav videos from y’all. this was so fun and relaxing to watch! i never even knew something like this existed and now i so badly want to do it😂😂
TH-camr DownieLive did a whole series on these too! Cool adventure at a relaxing pace.
my nan and grandad used to live in a flat (appartment) alongside that canal and i used to and still do go down to the river and watch the boats come past. so relaxing and one of the best parts of my life hahaha. they live in leighton buzzard!! huge fans of you guys btw!!!!
That was so much fun to watch. Hope you do more UK adventures x
This is on my bucket list. So excited y’all got to have this experience!
I dont know if you'll see this in time but If you're gonna be in Wales, you HAVE to see if you can go to a place called bleanau ffestiniog. They have trampolines suspended in the air inside a HUGE slate mine cavern as well as ziplines and mine tours its AMAZING!! (Its called bounce below)
Also if you head to Pembrokeshire you need to bosit the jolly sailor. A gorgeous little pub with the most INCREDIBLE views at sunset!! X
You are on such a high adventure roll right now 😍 super great travel ideas and video ideas!!! Really love it! Thank you for awesome content! 🤩🤩🤩
That was so entertaining and I think you guys should do a longer canal boat trip through England Wales or Scotland and join up with "Craig & Amy from Kinging it" and then you could take turns and compete in challenges like you've done before! That would make an epic vlog for both of your channels! And hopefully a bit of an adventurous holiday too! 💕💕👍😍🇬🇧🏴🏴
I remember now!! This is how I found y'alls channel!! The other long boat videos I ran into one day! I got hooked on your personalities and been binging since!!✌🐢
Great video. Downie Live did this too 😊 p.s. please edit from Whales to Wales 😊
I love every single one of your videos! You both are such a cute couple!!! Thank you for continuing with the travels. ❤ don't ever stop. I won't know what to do with my Saturday mornings
Literally live 15 minutes away from Llangollen, such a big fan, I hope you guys have a great time in Wales.
As a Canadian I knew what was going to happen as soon as Nate tried to feed the goose
Canadian geese are a different breed of goose but they’re nicknamed “Cobra Chickens” here so I think that tells you all you need to know 😂
My sister and I have both been chased by geese (on different occasions). They’re cute but they’re crazy
Cobra chickens 😂😂
Wish you did a meet and greet in Wales! Would love to have met you guys 🤩! Enjoy your travels, keep safe ❤
That would be sooo amazing!
Love this... the Llangollen Canal was the first canal my family did over 20 years ago, we then went on to do a canal holiday every year and even brought a boat 13 years ago
Anyone else having Downie Live flashbacks? 😊
Seems like this year it's everyone's turn to try canal boating 😊
Nate is so funny, I'm used to seeing a more serious version of him but this one, he was a but chaotic and im here for it
Did the Oxford Circle in my much younger days! This brought back so many memories. Bonking (as we called it) into the walls was a frequent occurrence, and not getting the locks closed tightly enough! Actually drained a section of the canal one night! Boy, folks sure were mad the next morning! And they knew it was us because we were the last boat in the line up. Ah, fun times! Thanks for the vid! You two are great!
Aww this video was amazing! Seeing you guys Enjoy some of my home towns was a pleasant surprise, I've always loved Canal boats and funny enough I've been on that exact one you guys rented,
Hope you enjoy your stay in Wales our country side is beautiful :)
That was a super fun video and one of your best (and that is saying a lot). You guys really know how to put them together and edit them. A canal boat holiday is way up near the top of my list and in the UK too. Ive done a river/lake one in Ireland and that was a great experience. And yes I know all about steering and parking issues 😁. Kara's British accent is actually improving!!
Look forward to your next one.
I have been watching you for years now, and I can’t believe you’re in my home country of Wales 🏴🏴🏴 hope you enjoy all that there is on offer ❤
this is so crazy seeing kara and nate near where i live and doing things that ive done! hope you guys had a good time
This was one of our favorite videos y’all have done! And we now want to own a narrowboat and travel through the canals for a year haha 😂. I also love Nate’s sense of humor in this one lol
Dang, the Walsh folks randomly in chatting or helping out just made my heart so happy. Love it!!!❤❤❤❤
This was like something out of post-card! I never thought England could be so gorgeous. Now I just have to go there and live this adventure!
The Welsh bits were lovely too.
That’s what we’ve been trying to tell everyone for years! There’s more to England than London, Manchester and Birmingham. Our towns and villages are beautiful too.
