    ------------------
    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 printing business from the spare bedroom of our apartment.
    We discovered the world of “travel hacking” while planning our honeymoon & became addicted ;)
    So after 2 years of obsessively 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 ran out of money and went back home to “normal life.” We started this travel vlog to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with living on the road and found a new passion for capturing our travels through video. So we 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.
    After ~2 years of van life, we are back to full time traveling! And now we are finding the best adventures the world has to offer :)
    We are incredibly grateful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎 Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey!

      Around 4:40 the kid in the back got told by his Grandma to get his shoes off of Kara's back of the chair, lol! Then she was like, I trained you better, grandson! Train conductor was like "rook at this crazy white woman" "she is jumping and waving at me?" "White lady, crazy!" He didn't wave back because he hates that people can afford one seat that takes him four months of pay to afford, lol! Japan is my favorite place that I've never been! LOL, great video, the Japanese take great pride in their work. I am a Nikon Professional Service's member and photojournalist and I love Japan! All of Nikon gear is made in Japan, D6, D850, D500 and all the lenses, 24-70mm f/2.8, 70-200FL and 500mm f/4E VR FL, all made at Nikon's Sendai Plant in Japan, by expert optical engineers and expert craftsmanship!

Love that bullet train and I agree..if that train was available for long distance travel in the US, I'd take it.

    Japan was my home for many years and watching your channel I hoped you would return to the place where your epic 'year' of travel started. Thank you for showing so much of Japan, the way that it is crowded places, tiny towns and all and not just the way it is portrayed in documentaries. Thank you for trying so hard to be respectful, showing your curiosity and for trying the language. Your 'domo arigatou' made me smile every time. Even when accidentally messing up with the shoes I saw you doing your best to be the best kind of travellers. And now so many more people know to wear socks on tatami mat floors, slippers when offered, toilet slippers for the toilet, and regular shoes (or wooden sandals) when outside in ryokan. I hope you loved those onsen baths, Kara - to get them to yourself is a real treat.

    I love the traditional travel videos versus the endurance/challenges. The challenges are a great change of pace, but nothing compares to these. You guys are the best.

    @katharinamatschiner318 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    as you know , we have bullet trains in italy and most of the time I chose going with Italo or Frecciarossa instead of flying. they are such a great alternative. when Nate said if you had them in the US he’d prefer taking trains listing all the advantages .. well, that totally resonates with me! 👏

  • @vickiedaversa1521

    im loving your japan videos. IMO Nate has taken some of the best pictures and videos of the snow monkeys. I have been watching you guys from the beginning and the pics and videos have always been great but the ones with the monkeys are amazing. Nate, you have captured them perfectly! My list of places to travel has just gotten longer lol Thank you once again for taking us along with you both. Safe travels...Vickie

    I’m just so happy you guys were super respectful of the Japanese culture of not talking loudly on public transport and tried to use your inside inside voice when you did talk. Seen other TH-camrs talking loudly and they even admitted they were the loudest on the train made me cringe.

  • @RuthAnnnMorris
    @RuthAnnnMorris ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I had to laugh at Kara walking on the slippery path to see the snow monkeys. The Snow Monkeys were amazing! They are, without a doubt the cutest monkeys I’ve ever seen. The bath houses are not my cup of tea! My nephew is stationed in Japan right now and I hope he sees the Snow Monkeys at some point. Much love y’all!! Blessings…
