I’d love to see more of those scenes were you two get a little mad with each other. That’s real traveling right there. Don’t be afraid to show more of that. It happens to all of us and we can all relate!!!
100%! It’s realistic to have moments where one or both gets heated. So much happens while traveling that is out of our control, we’re humans and have emotions :)
Sorry, but after 31 plus years of marriage I can testify angry outbursts can be very rare, and when they are I am the one at fault. Don’t sweat the small stuff!
I love how Kara never ever takes the simple beauty in nature for granted! Even after all the traveling n amazing places you go… you are still in awe at wild horses n get emotional over earths beauty! It’s so genuine and refreshing to watch!
This is what struck me, as well. This is the first video I've seen of theirs, and when I heard, "when Eamon and Bec gave us this van," I was like, wait, what?! I know them! I digress; it's beautiful to see someone never failing to appreciate their surroundings. I live coastal in NC and every single time I drive into town to get groceries or run other errands, I take a long bridge over the ICW and think, "I am so lucky to live here." My friends and I have discussed how amazing it is to live near the ocean, as well. I know the majority of people that live here probably don't give it much thought, and I can't blame them because it is our normal and it's easy to get lost in every day life and mundane shit. I just try not to!
For us, this has actually become something like a rule. If we don't appreciate our surroundings anymore, we stop traveling because it's just not worth it anymore
this channel has helped me get through a lot…watching your videos is calming and takes my mind to a different world. Two days ago, my aunt found peace in the violence that cancer had brought her to. Fly high to the best aunt I could ever ask for. 🕊💔 Your videos are assured to help me through this difficult time of my life…so thank u, for everything.
Idk about everyone else but I want to see a video of how you guys capture all these incredible shots, in the midst of traveling! I know you have a drone but the fact that you can capture these great views in the middle of a swim or a drive is sometimes more impressive than the stunning locations you visit 😂😍
As I was watching I thought to myself, they must have to pull over so many times to shoot all of these mini clips. Interested to see a behind the scenes as well.
I think there's this perception that it's unbelievably dangerous to drive from the US into Mexico. Thanks for showing how wonderful it can be. Cheers amigos!
@@leensalocin I’m from Mexico and they’ve already talked about how they thought it was going to be dangerous but it isn’t so I’m pretty sure it’s safe buddy
Hey Kara and Nate, I’ve been to Mexico a total of 15 times so far, we love it so much we have to make it a yearly trip. I wanted to share a helpful hint to calculate pesos in to dollars. All you have to do it move the decimal place over one and divide by two. For example 80 pesos would 8 then divide by two would be about $4 U.S it’s not exact but it gives you the amount to the dollar every time. I hope this helps 😊
As someone who has wintered in Mexico for many, many years and love it; the people, the culture, the food, and we’ve owned a vehicle here, which we’ve had to put gas in many times. One thing we’ve learned is that some gas station attendants (the minority) will try to scam you, one of their tricks is to not put the pump back to zero and just start from where the last person’s gas finished. Another trick is if you give them a $500 Pesos bill, they will palm it and show you a $50 Pesos bill instead and demand more money. So what my husband used to do is get out of the car and stand with the attendant to watch him put the pump back to zero and then he’d show the $500 Pesos bill and say that’s how much gas he wanted. So in your case, you could show two or three $500 Pesos bills and say not more than $1,000 or $1,500 Pesos of gas for your van. If the total came to $1,300 Pesos, then you make count out uno, dos, tres and hold out your hand for your change. Plus it’s customary to give the gas attendants a tip in Mexico. As I said, it’s only the minority who will do this, but something to be aware of.
Also if you pay with a card. Watch your card at all times. I have seen where they scam you by swiping the card twice. Once on their fake card reader that is at the bottom of the actual card reader and then the card reader. They do this to copy your card number. So something to be aware of. Check your card statement whenever possible.
Never put food in cart or conveyor belt, all germs, viruses, ecoli , feces etc on it. Everything everyone touched gets on there. Be safe. And those pre bags still have bacteria
Another trick is to ask for a specific amount. So 200 pesos of Diesel or 500 pesos of Diesel. That way you always know what to pay. But you do have to check to make sure they reset to 0, as you mentioned.
@@informationgathererM As someone who has lived in Baja for 14 years, I can only disagree with this. I religiously see them clean carts and conveyor belts, even more now with/after COVID.
Haha right?! That's the best way to live life, each experience is the best one. They are our favorite TH-camrs 😁 Btw, if you have some time maybe you can check out one of our travel vlogs and let us know what you think. Only if you want to 😝
Street tacos and wild camping on the beach, sounds like the dream guys! Keep living the lives you want. Just spent 2.5 months living out of the back of my SUV traveling with my pup through Arizona, California and Nevada filming our own adventures. Love how you guys document life on the road
Hey guys, if you’re planning on spending more time off the grid, highly suggest you consider a Garmin In-Reach Mini. Satellite communication anywhere on globe for $15 a month.

That's a great option! Thank you for sharing, I'm definitely looking into it. Btw, if you have some time maybe you can check out one of our travel vlogs and let us know what you think. Only if you want to 😝
@@MariaOliviaTravel how about you quit encroaching on other peoples video by begging for views and instead worry about growing your channel authentically. Adding “only if you want to” at the end doesn’t make it any better - that’s nothing more than guilt free excuse to give you an escape when people call you out on your bullshit tactics to try to grow your channel
Finally a new video, been looking forward to it! Just a small safety tip when swimming on beaches with no people or lifeguards around; make sure you know how to deal with rip currents. They are usually not very dangerous if you know what to do, but can easily be lethal if you dont Looking forward to see more from the trip!
I’m from Mexicali Baja California and the honks that the people driving pass you where nice, usually we do that because what you do looks fun. And I’m so happy that you guys are having such a good time in Baja, thanks for trusting being here. Love you guys hoping one I’ll be able to do what you guys are doing❣️
The amount of joy I get watching your guys’ videos is unparalleled. To see this channel grow from less than 500k to almost 3 million is nothing short of phenomenal. Keep up the great work !
Today is bittersweet! I have officially watched every episode from the beginning and I am sad to not have any more binge sessions, lol. I love seeing all of your amazing experiences and beautiful outlook on life. Cant wait for the next episode now that I am all caught up :)
i can’t even explain how much i love watching the adventures these two go through! they make me so inspired to get out there and live my best life, i can’t wait to see what they get up to in the future!
Just when we thought Baja couldn’t get any better, it led us to you!! You guys are becoming vanlife pros yourselves and we can’t wait to see where you go the rest of your time in Baja, and beyond 🌵🚐🏄♂️🏄♀️
Loved seeing you to having “a moment”, it makes you even more relatable. Love your videos, seeing places I’ve never seen before along with you guys is such fun.
"Wow...people just got the real deal right there" LOL I love how real y'all are! You two always make me smile when watching your videos. I aspire one day to get my own van, or mini winnie and travel to all the state parks in America. I am not brave enough to travel internationally alone. My dad, oldest brother and I are planning a backpacking trip through Vietnam, you can bet I will go through and watch those videos of yours to see where to eat. :)
haha one of my favorite parts of this video! They are the best! It's a big step to travel alone internationally but it gets easier, especially if you stay in hostels. Hostels are a great way to travel alone, you'll meet people there that you can hang out with and explore the city you are in. Btw, if you have some time maybe you can check out one of our travel vlogs and let us know what you think. Only if you want to 😝
I swear this feels like freedom and life... watching this video put my life into perspective... this seems so beautiful and so easy for you two. You guys just won at life and i love seeing your videos that make me think about what life is really about. Thanks you and have a safe and joyfull trip!!! Love from Romania
Your sense of adventure and the ‘vibes’ you get along the way from the people you meet, or invite to join you are the reasons I watch your channel. You guys have nailed it! Oh, and then there are the tacos/food too...🌠
They are amazing! They also really inspire us to go all the way with our adventures and our travels. Maybe you could check out our channel too and let us know what you think? Only if you’d like! 🤗
I’m so happy you guys are visiting my country! I’m also glad you’re showing the beauty of our culture and nature despite the negatives of it. Viva Mexico! 🇲🇽
🏄🏻♂️🏄🏻♀️🌊🥑🌮Kara, you can even make a commercial entertaining!!❤️Your (you and Nate) trip goals are prefect, coffee, great food (mouth is watering) and water locations. Keep doing what you do!!!❤️
I am so jealous right now and I am not ashamed to admit it!! Wow!! The mountains, the beaches, the cacti, the wild horses, the tacos, the guac, the sand, the wind, the van, the roof deck, the popsicles, the camping spots. Omg to Everything!
I’ve been following Kara and Nate’s travels since their Everest Base Camp trip (around 4-5 yrs ago) and one thing I can say is they are such wonderful people, so refreshing to watch. They bring joy and excitement for future travels now that countries are slowly reopening. I’m sure you have the same effect to tons of your followers. You guys are a delight. 💕 Thanks for doing what you do and stay safe.
Love exploring the world vicariously through you guys!! My husband and I did 2 weeks of van life for our honeymoon last year along the coast of QLD Australia thanks to your influence 💖
They are amazing! They also really inspire us to go all the way with our adventures and our travels. Maybe you could check out our channel too and let us know what you think? Only if you’d like! 🤗
@@MariaOliviaTravel more than happy to subscribe and check you guys out. I’m from Aus so love watching other people getting to explore their parts of their world especially in times of closed borders etc. More influence to add places to our travel bucket list! Good luck with your channel xx
You both are literally my favorite couple to watch ever! Love the enthusiasm and positivity from you both, and Kara's goofiness is what makes it even more fun to watch.
It's almost midnight where I am and I'm so tired but I have been counting down the hours for this video and I'm so excited to watch it! (My husband kept refreshing the page for me) I love your videos, please keep doing what you're doing.
LOVE IT!!!! Mexico might be the first thing on my bucket list when I wanna travel the world... It looks so beautiful 😍. Can't wait for the next video...
So I watch all 828 videos for the past couple weeks…I have to say all of them were so good(even the early ones..lol) you both tell a story every time you post a video 😊. I also give a big shoutout to Kara…you do an amazing job editing…you make each video special!! Also Nate you make it look so easy organizing everything!..I cannot wait for more..I think I have a little Kara and Nate withdraw..😂..cannot wait to see what is next for you guys 😊😊😊
I agree they did a very good job st story telling throughout all there videos. They are seriously amazing. I love watching there videos and look forward to watching them every week. They definitely found there calling with making video's.
This Gal from the Foothills of the Ozarks of Arkansas is So happy to see your Newest Video. So Glad you're GOOD. Thanks 😁 for taking me along for another FABULOUS Adventure.
Thanks for taking us on a tour of Baja. It looks so beautiful, and the food looks fantastic. May your journeys continue to be safe and full of adventure.
Hi Kara and Nate, thank you for always being our travel inspiration. My finace and I binge-watched your videos and got the courage to start our own Handicap accessable and plus size travel vlog and got so much help from your amazing editing tutorial Kara! Thank you for all you do and never stop traveling and loving each other!
I love that you are back to international travel and i love that you are doing van life in Mexico. It kind of feels like a tribute to Eamon and Bec. Well done.
You guys entertain me every night. Sometimes this same episode sometimes older ones...Thank you for my younger years memories. Sux getting old..Don't forget your parents...
Travel videos that show the landscape on highways are such my favorite! Thank you 😊. Little things like that help me get a grasp of an area so much more. I will rewatch this one just for that reason. Love!
I have just now finished watching all of your videos! I love the feeling that I’m experiencing all of your adventures as well. You two are the best and I cannot wait to see the rest of your adventures together.
Im glad you are showing a beautiful part of my country, I believe it gets a lot of bad rep due to american movies and misinformation. We have plenty of diversity in climates, and cities and towns, from desert, to forest and jungle, and industrial cities too (like my own). I hope you have a great trip and that you keep making great memories
El Trailero is one of my favorite taco places to eat at when I visit my grandma in a little town close to Ensenada, so glad you enjoyed it. You should definitely visit La Bufadora on your way back if you have the chance, so pretty and the food is amazing!
I just found your channel a few days ago and I LOVE IT! Thank you for sharing your adventures. As a teacher, I'll be using your videos as a way to escape the every day stress I have to deal with. I am so thankful I found your channel.
Hey guys, just a heads up: make sure you guys are watching those military guys carefully. They’re known to sneak contraband into vehicles and communicate to their friends and pull you over you pass them along the road; They can put you into jail if you’re not careful.
Man! I can’t believe (I can actually) how many people already commented here today. We really look forward to your posts on Saturdays…. Please don’t ever stop !!!
Hey Kara and Nate!!! I just wanted to say you guys are absolutely amazing and seeing you guys going on trips all in your van makes me want to to this when I’m older. Keep up the amazing work, you guys are the best!!! (Been a fan since 2019-20) Love you guysss 💙💙
They are amazing and were one of the main inspirations for us to start our channel and travel! They also really inspire us to go all the way with our adventures and our travels. Maybe you could check out our channel too and let us know what you think? Only if you’d like! 🤗
Hey guys! I hope you two are staying safe! I just wanted to thank you for all that you guys do. You two are truly inspiring! My boyfriend and I love watching your videos! If you ever get a chance to come back to Virginia, we would love to show you around Richmond! There are a lot of hidden gems here and rich with history! Love you guys! Josh and Brandon
If you guys ever need help with Spanish and translating, I am learning Spanish right now and I have actually collected some phrases that would really help in your travels! And possibly impress some of the locals 😉 love your videos and you guys make me so happy 🥰
@@yinyangforyou Well I think they put a lot more effort/time into their videos now vs when they uploaded daily, so I completely understand! I also understand missing their international travel, i miss it too! But i'm also loving their adventures in their van too. I get what you're saying though, i hope after this trip they start international travel again!
I’m glad people with large followings have been making this trip and sharing their experiences. I thought it was because we were from Texas and being on the border they perpetuated this fear of traveling anywhere near it…. Houston, Texas is so dangerous I heard gunshots more often than not at night. Another van lifer said it best in her story recently, something along the lines of notice the people with the biggest opinions mostly have them from the news or word of mouth (they don’t question the source) and not personal experience. It’s just one big game of telephone keeping us away from experiencing a different culture and seeing how much cheaper things are there! Be cautious but don’t live in fear 💚
I have read about the Copper Canyon which is 2 hours south of El Paso. It is much cheaper to fly into El Paso then to fly to the nearby city in Mexico. But I read that the border city to El Paso isn't safe so I bagged that trip. I also am still a little fearful of that part of Mexico. Do you know anyone that has driven there?
I have loved your videos in Mexico! I am re-watching them today. Hope Nate's parents film their trip in the van as well and I'm looking forward t your next videos overseas!!!!!
I just wanted to tell you guys how much I love your videos. I struggle with anxiety a lot, but watching your videos really helps calm me down! So thank you for such amazing content
I loved the questioning if the honking was good or bad! I spent 3 months in Nicaragua, and there honking was rarely “I’m mad” or “you are doing something wrong”, it was always just a little “hey I’m sneaking past you here!” Or a slow car would beep to say “go ahead, you can pass me, it’s clear!” Adjusting to driving in the states after that was weird.. it was so quiet’
@@NakedWanderings true.. for example, if you hear honking here in the Philippines, it's probably a jeepney calling for a passenger or blocked by another jeepney for some weird reason. i don't know much about private vehicles 'cause first, I don't have a car, second, I don't like to assume, and third, I don't really observe cars like that.
My 5 year old and I love watching your videos together. He’s always interested in seeing where you guys go and what adventures you get up to! (He was especially interested in the military check points in this one.) Thanks for making videos. We look forward to them each week. ❤️
Beautiful spot you got for a few days without internet. I am so glad you got to meet Drew and Brittany. Aren't they cool people! That sounded silly since I have never met them or you two but when you watch these videos long enough you feel like you know the people that you are watching.
Hi Kara! Love y’all so much. My dad and I love to watch you together and his birthday is coming up and I was wondering if you had any merch or anything because I know he would love anything related to you guys.
I love that I’m not the only one that cried over a food experience. We went to the Court of Two Sisters 4 days before hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. We ate the 4 course dinner and when they served the first course, I cried.
Glad to see you having a good time in Baja. Unfortunately, on two different occasions I was robbed and had my vehicle taken once. Probably in the wrong place at the wrong time. I also had a good friend murdered in lower Baja 20 years ago and it took almost two years for his family to recover his body back to the States. There were suspicion that a corrupt police unit was involved. Case was never solved. Just be careful, and don't be too trusting. There are beautiful friendly people there but to some, life has no value.
i love you guys sm!!❤️ i’m so happy you guys love my beautiful country BUT i’m sad to say please please don’t let your guard down!!!! even the national guard & local police can be bad people, the corruption there is insane! driving at night is so dangerous not because of the “wild horses” but because you run a bigger risk of getting robbed of the van or way worse! cartel activity is everywhere, even when you think everything is fine, trust me, someone somewhere can be keeping their eye on y’all. please be careful. don’t mean to be a debby downer & not saying it will happen i’m saying it COULD. sending blessings & safe travels your way❤️❤️❤️
You have not spoke of the reasons it is not safe to drive in Mexico after dark. IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF WILD HORSES, POTHOLES OR WHATEVER ELSE YOU SAID. The cartels frequently set up check points of their own after dark on all major rural highways in Mexico and request outrageous bribes to drive on "their highway". If you can not pay, be prepared to pay in another form. That may be items in the car, which they may also take during a search. Nearly 100% of kidnappings happen on rural highways after dark.
Well, what I see in the vídeo was a high quality and peaceful road (SO much better that many US roads specially since Michigan to NJ)...in middle in a beautiful cactus landscape.
I’ve heard the same thing from multiple people. You have no chance because they impersonate the federales. What are you going to do? Only option is to maybe negotiate the bribe down a bit, if you dare.
Eso no quita la maravillosa cultura, la gente o la magia de México. Sin embargo, la realidad es la realidad. Cuanto antes los mexicanos se enfoquen en esa realidad, antes México se convertirá en un mejor lugar para TODOS los mexicanos.
Hi Kara and Nate, I really love your channel! You have taken me around the world during lockdown! When you start travelling internationally again, please can you try and do shorter, daily vidd rater than longer vids as we want to follow you around daily rather than watch your adventure a few months after it has happened. Keep up the good work!
I couldn’t disagree more. I really appreciate that they take the time to edit together a great product, and little sort videos with less effort put in wouldn’t be as compelling.
4:25 actually in the USA, the yellow light does mean STOP! According to the law, every driver has to stop at a yellow light unless he or she is too close to the intersection to stop safely. It definitely does not mean go through if you think there’s time before it turns red. In Australia, you would be known as an “amber gambler.”
Enjoying the views. There is a different beauty in every place. Knowing how much space videos take up, how do you maintain space for all your footage? Been binge-watching your channel. Thank you so much for sharing. 😊
So glad you guys hooked up with Mr. and Mrs. Adventure. Next, you guys should keep your eyes out for the Van Wives. I love it when fellow TH-cam Van lifers not only run into each other, but truly enjoy it.
It is ALWAYS guac o'clock! I went to the Yucatan Peninsula a couple years ago over Yule/ Christmas with my family, and it was absolutely beautiful. I think y'all would enjoy the Peninsula as well.
Real life is worth watching. We appreciate the real deal in your marriage and expect nothing less. Please don't ever lessen yourselves and become "characters" on your TH-cam channel. Keep it real and we'll keep subscribing and watching. Safe Travels.
Funny, I’m from Australia and have been checking if you have posted a video hoping you guys were ok. Very happy this morning to see you back online. I enjoy your travels very much. Stay safe guys and enjoy Mexico.
I found your videos last June, the first one that popped up in a search I was doing for whatever reason was the "Solar powered yacht". and then I started watching your Van Life Videos first, got all caught up on those, and then went all the way to the beginning. I just watched #100 last night. You guys are amazing story-tellers, videographers, and you have truly ignited my passion for travel. Even now, you're #vanlifing in Mexico, the country that is.. my Happy place. A year ago, I didn't have travel credit cards, I didn't know about Priority Pass, and today I have 3, plus Priority Pass (thru AMEX) and will be signing up for Fare drop. We're heading to Puerto Vallarta in 34 days, and it'll be our first taste of airport lounges :). You guys are amazing, I don't know what I'll do now that I have to wait for your weekly uploads :) Safe travels my friends, I hope to run into you out in the world some day. ~Tony

Hey Kara and Nate, I’ve been to Mexico a total of 15 times so far, we love it so much we have to make it a yearly trip. I wanted to share a helpful hint to calculate pesos in to dollars. All you have to do it move the decimal place over one and divide by two. For example 80 pesos would 8 then divide by two would be about $4 U.S it’s not exact but it gives you the amount to the dollar every time. I hope this helps 😊
This helped me, thank you!
Please like this so Kara and Nate can see it!!
Or you could just divide by 20!
As someone who has wintered in Mexico for many, many years and love it; the people, the culture, the food, and we’ve owned a vehicle here, which we’ve had to put gas in many times.

So what my husband used to do is get out of the car and stand with the attendant to watch him put the pump back to zero and then he’d show the $500 Pesos bill and say that’s how much gas he wanted. So in your case, you could show two or three $500 Pesos bills and say not more than $1,000 or $1,500 Pesos of gas for your van. If the total came to $1,300 Pesos, then you make count out uno, dos, tres and hold out your hand for your change. Plus it’s customary to give the gas attendants a tip in Mexico. As I said, it’s only the minority who will do this, but something to be aware of.
Have small bills and always pay exact or close to exact cost.
Also if you pay with a card. Watch your card at all times. I have seen where they scam you by swiping the card twice.

Bivy stick or zoleo are other cheaper options
That's a great option! Thank you for sharing, I'm definitely looking into it. Btw, if you have some time maybe you can check out one of our travel vlogs and let us know what you think. Only if you want to 😝
Great tip!
Great advice, and a satphone if you can swing it!
@@MariaOliviaTravel how about you quit encroaching on other peoples video by begging for views and instead worry about growing your channel authentically. Adding “only if you want to” at the end doesn’t make it any better - that’s nothing more than guilt free excuse to give you an escape when people call you out on your bullshit tactics to try to grow your channel
Finally a new video, been looking forward to it!
Just a small safety tip when swimming on beaches with no people or lifeguards around; make sure you know how to deal with rip currents. They are usually not very dangerous if you know what to do, but can easily be lethal if you dont
Looking forward to see more from the trip!
My favorite part is how serious Kara was about fitting more ice cream in the freezer. 😂 living vicariously through you two is great.
I’m from Mexicali Baja California and the honks that the people driving pass you where nice, usually we do that because what you do looks fun. And I’m so happy that you guys are having such a good time in Baja, thanks for trusting being here. Love you guys hoping one I’ll be able to do what you guys are doing❣️
The amount of joy I get watching your guys’ videos is unparalleled. To see this channel grow from less than 500k to almost 3 million is nothing short of phenomenal. Keep up the great work !
It's really amazing! I'm so happy for them and for us as well as we get to enjoy their videos! Cheers from Ontario Canada 🤗
Today is bittersweet! I have officially watched every episode from the beginning and I am sad to not have any more binge sessions, lol. I love seeing all of your amazing experiences and beautiful outlook on life. Cant wait for the next episode now that I am all caught up :)
i can’t even explain how much i love watching the adventures these two go through! they make me so inspired to get out there and live my best life, i can’t wait to see what they get up to in the future!
Just when we thought Baja couldn’t get any better, it led us to you!! You guys are becoming vanlife pros yourselves and we can’t wait to see where you go the rest of your time in Baja, and beyond 🌵🚐🏄♂️🏄♀️
I would have loved to see you guys go on an adventure together for a few days. :)
🤎🤎🤎
@@bluezauza keep an eye out in our future episodes and you will see us all together.
Awwww we love you guys!!!! ❤️ Thanks for all the advice and tips 🤗
@@bluezauza me too!!!!
Loved seeing you to having “a moment”, it makes you even more relatable. Love your videos, seeing places I’ve never seen before along with you guys is such fun.
"Wow...people just got the real deal right there" LOL I love how real y'all are! You two always make me smile when watching your videos. I aspire one day to get my own van, or mini winnie and travel to all the state parks in America. I am not brave enough to travel internationally alone. My dad, oldest brother and I are planning a backpacking trip through Vietnam, you can bet I will go through and watch those videos of yours to see where to eat. :)
haha one of my favorite parts of this video! They are the best! It's a big step to travel alone internationally but it gets easier, especially if you stay in hostels. Hostels are a great way to travel alone, you'll meet people there that you can hang out with and explore the city you are in. Btw, if you have some time maybe you can check out one of our travel vlogs and let us know what you think. Only if you want to 😝
I swear this feels like freedom and life... watching this video put my life into perspective... this seems so beautiful and so easy for you two. You guys just won at life and i love seeing your videos that make me think about what life is really about. Thanks you and have a safe and joyfull trip!!! Love from Romania
Your sense of adventure and the ‘vibes’ you get along the way from the people you meet, or invite to join you are the reasons I watch your channel. You guys have nailed it! Oh, and then there are the tacos/food too...🌠
They are amazing! They also really inspire us to go all the way with our adventures and our travels. Maybe you could check out our channel too and let us know what you think? Only if you’d like! 🤗
Tacos are the perfect ingredient for great videos 😂😂
I’m so happy you guys are visiting my country!
I’m also glad you’re showing the beauty of our culture and nature despite the negatives of it. Viva Mexico! 🇲🇽
🏄🏻♂️🏄🏻♀️🌊🥑🌮Kara, you can even make a commercial entertaining!!❤️Your (you and Nate) trip goals are prefect, coffee, great food (mouth is watering) and water locations. Keep doing what you do!!!❤️
I am so jealous right now and I am not ashamed to admit it!! Wow!! The mountains, the beaches, the cacti, the wild horses, the tacos, the guac, the sand, the wind, the van, the roof deck, the popsicles, the camping spots.
Omg to Everything!
You guys really do inspire travel, exploring, and spontaneity
Love your energy…have fun kids
I’ve been following Kara and Nate’s travels since their Everest Base Camp trip (around 4-5 yrs ago) and one thing I can say is they are such wonderful people, so refreshing to watch. They bring joy and excitement for future travels now that countries are slowly reopening. I’m sure you have the same effect to tons of your followers. You guys are a delight. 💕 Thanks for doing what you do and stay safe.
Love exploring the world vicariously through you guys!! My husband and I did 2 weeks of van life for our honeymoon last year along the coast of QLD Australia thanks to your influence 💖
They are amazing! They also really inspire us to go all the way with our adventures and our travels. Maybe you could check out our channel too and let us know what you think? Only if you’d like! 🤗
@@MariaOliviaTravel more than happy to subscribe and check you guys out. I’m from Aus so love watching other people getting to explore their parts of their world especially in times of closed borders etc. More influence to add places to our travel bucket list! Good luck with your channel xx
You both are literally my favorite couple to watch ever! Love the enthusiasm and positivity from you both, and Kara's goofiness is what makes it even more fun to watch.
Fun fact: he never disspointed us
You're insane man!!

I was crying along with Kara when the wild horses came on. What an incredible scene!
Can't wait to watch! Have so much fun during the rest of your time in Mexico!! ❤️
You two certainly have something special. Always enjoy your channel.
It's almost midnight where I am and I'm so tired but I have been counting down the hours for this video and I'm so excited to watch it! (My husband kept refreshing the page for me) I love your videos, please keep doing what you're doing.
I had such bad anxiety this morning, and watching you guys before work has made me feel so much better thank you
LOVE IT!!!! Mexico might be the first thing on my bucket list when I wanna travel the world... It looks so beautiful 😍. Can't wait for the next video...
So I watch all 828 videos for the past couple weeks…I have to say all of them were so good(even the early ones..lol) you both tell a story every time you post a video 😊. I also give a big shoutout to Kara…you do an amazing job editing…you make each video special!! Also Nate you make it look so easy organizing everything!..I cannot wait for more..I think I have a little Kara and Nate withdraw..😂..cannot wait to see what is next for you guys 😊😊😊
I agree they did a very good job st story telling throughout all there videos. They are seriously amazing. I love watching there videos and look forward to watching them every week. They definitely found there calling with making video's.
When I woke up today and saw snow in my back yard (in Michigan), I needed to live vicariously through you guys!
This Gal from the Foothills of the Ozarks of Arkansas is So happy to see your Newest Video. So Glad you're GOOD. Thanks 😁 for taking me along for another FABULOUS Adventure.
Thanks for taking us on a tour of Baja. It looks so beautiful, and the food looks fantastic. May your journeys continue to be safe and full of adventure.
Hi Kara and Nate, thank you for always being our travel inspiration. My finace and I binge-watched your videos and got the courage to start our own Handicap accessable and plus size travel vlog and got so much help from your amazing editing tutorial Kara! Thank you for all you do and never stop traveling and loving each other!
Yes!!!
Living vicariously through Kara and Nate videos. Love you guys!
I love that you are back to international travel and i love that you are doing van life in Mexico. It kind of feels like a tribute to Eamon and Bec. Well done.
Love you guys! Been watching so long! Kara driving away from Nate and Nate saying wait for me is priceless.
You guys entertain me every night. Sometimes this same episode sometimes older ones...Thank you for my younger years memories. Sux getting old..Don't forget your parents...
Never thought Mexico could be so beautiful.... 😍...hope to see this type of content from you guys from whole of the world
I know when I thought Mexico I thought jungles and like farms and stuff bu5 never EVERRRR THOUGH5 MEXICO WAS BEATIFULLLL
Y’all need to get out more and stop with the micro-aggressions. Mexico is a very beautiful place. The United States just likes to demonize it.
Travel videos that show the landscape on highways are such my favorite! Thank you 😊. Little things like that help me get a grasp of an area so much more. I will rewatch this one just for that reason. Love!
I'm so excited for Mexico content, loving the international van life vibes!!! Maybe continue the series and go to south america after this 😂☺️
Only way to get a car/van to South America is by cargo ship. There’s no road that connects North and South America
The epic adventure continues! Beautiful scenery, funny conversations. I'm so excited! Kara & Nate in Baja, Mexico! 🇲🇽
I have just now finished watching all of your videos! I love the feeling that I’m experiencing all of your adventures as well. You two are the best and I cannot wait to see the rest of your adventures together.
Loved this completely. Cannot wait to see more of Baja and future adventures! The food did look absolutely wonderful!
Those tacos....that torta.....and "Guac o'Clock!" Also, falling asleep to the sound of waves just outside your doors--amazing! 😍
Im glad you are showing a beautiful part of my country, I believe it gets a lot of bad rep due to american movies and misinformation. We have plenty of diversity in climates, and cities and towns, from desert, to forest and jungle, and industrial cities too (like my own). I hope you have a great trip and that you keep making great memories
I think you were absolutely NUTS to take the chance.
Mexico must be awesome! Have a great trip Kara and Nate! My family loves watching your adventures 🙂
Omg! These two crack me up! I come here from one reason and that's to make me happy!!! Thank you guys, for everything you do ❤❤❤❤
El Trailero is one of my favorite taco places to eat at when I visit my grandma in a little town close to Ensenada, so glad you enjoyed it. You should definitely visit La Bufadora on your way back if you have the chance, so pretty and the food is amazing!
I just found your channel a few days ago and I LOVE IT! Thank you for sharing your adventures. As a teacher, I'll be using your videos as a way to escape the every day stress I have to deal with. I am so thankful I found your channel.
Hey guys, just a heads up: make sure you guys are watching those military guys carefully. They’re known to sneak contraband into vehicles and communicate to their friends and pull you over you pass them along the road; They can put you into jail if you’re not careful.
Lol is that true?
@@adamclark9004 yeah, sadly it's common for them to do it to tourists specially foreigners
Man! I can’t believe (I can actually) how many people already commented here today. We really look forward to your posts on Saturdays…. Please don’t ever stop !!!
first! love the mexico content and this whole adventure!! can’t wait to see what the future brings, much love
When people hunk at you like that, it’s like a Mexican “cheers!” Definitely a friendly gesture, like a “have fun!” wish from fellow drivers
Hey Kara and Nate!!! I just wanted to say you guys are absolutely amazing and seeing you guys going on trips all in your van makes me want to to this when I’m older. Keep up the amazing work, you guys are the best!!! (Been a fan since 2019-20) Love you guysss 💙💙
They are amazing and were one of the main inspirations for us to start our channel and travel! They also really inspire us to go all the way with our adventures and our travels. Maybe you could check out our channel too and let us know what you think? Only if you’d like! 🤗
@@MariaOliviaTravel they are just best what can I say 🤷♂️
The aerial shots have been just getting better and better, but when you were both swimming and the drone was still going, my mind was blown LOL.
Hey guys!
I hope you two are staying safe! I just wanted to thank you for all that you guys do. You two are truly inspiring! My boyfriend and I love watching your videos! If you ever get a chance to come back to Virginia, we would love to show you around Richmond! There are a lot of hidden gems here and rich with history!
Love you guys!
Josh and Brandon
We have been talking about doing van life in Mexico for so long now and seeing you there just makes it itch even more!!! 😍😍
If you guys ever need help with Spanish and translating, I am learning Spanish right now and I have actually collected some phrases that would really help in your travels! And possibly impress some of the locals 😉 love your videos and you guys make me so happy 🥰
I so wish you guys posted more than once a week! I can't get enough of these mexico videos!
Unfortunately, when TH-camrs become successful, they rarely post. Not enjoying them anymore. Love when they travel abroad.
@@yinyangforyou Well I think they put a lot more effort/time into their videos now vs when they uploaded daily, so I completely understand! I also understand missing their international travel, i miss it too! But i'm also loving their adventures in their van too. I get what you're saying though, i hope after this trip they start international travel again!
I’m glad people with large followings have been making this trip and sharing their experiences. I thought it was because we were from Texas and being on the border they perpetuated this fear of traveling anywhere near it…. Houston, Texas is so dangerous I heard gunshots more often than not at night. Another van lifer said it best in her story recently, something along the lines of notice the people with the biggest opinions mostly have them from the news or word of mouth (they don’t question the source) and not personal experience. It’s just one big game of telephone keeping us away from experiencing a different culture and seeing how much cheaper things are there! Be cautious but don’t live in fear 💚
I have read about the Copper Canyon which is 2 hours south of El Paso. It is much cheaper to fly into El Paso then to fly to the nearby city in Mexico. But I read that the border city to El Paso isn't safe so I bagged that trip. I also am still a little fearful of that part of Mexico. Do you know anyone that has driven there?
I have loved your videos in Mexico! I am re-watching them today. Hope Nate's parents film their trip in the van as well and I'm looking forward t your next videos overseas!!!!!
OMG I'm early today! Love you guys and your videos so so much 🥰
I just wanted to tell you guys how much I love your videos. I struggle with anxiety a lot, but watching your videos really helps calm me down! So thank you for such amazing content
I loved the questioning if the honking was good or bad! I spent 3 months in Nicaragua, and there honking was rarely “I’m mad” or “you are doing something wrong”, it was always just a little “hey I’m sneaking past you here!” Or a slow car would beep to say “go ahead, you can pass me, it’s clear!”
Adjusting to driving in the states after that was weird.. it was so quiet’
True, honking is really something cultural and can mean different things in different places.
@@NakedWanderings
true.. for example, if you hear honking here in the Philippines, it's probably a jeepney calling for a passenger or blocked by another jeepney for some weird reason. i don't know much about private vehicles 'cause first, I don't have a car, second, I don't like to assume, and third, I don't really observe cars like that.
I’m just back from Ghana and noticed the same thing!
Thank you so much for introducing me to Mr. & Mrs. Adventure! They’re awesome, and I love how soothing they are!
My 5 year old and I love watching your videos together. He’s always interested in seeing where you guys go and what adventures you get up to! (He was especially interested in the military check points in this one.) Thanks for making videos. We look forward to them each week. ❤️
I LOVE that you two watch together 🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful spot you got for a few days without internet. I am so glad you got to meet Drew and Brittany. Aren't they cool people! That sounded silly since I have never met them or you two but when you watch these videos long enough you feel like you know the people that you are watching.
Looks like y’all are having a blast! 😍 How does this visit to Mexico compare to others?
I’m so glad y’all didn’t get talked out of doing this trip. I love Mexico!!!!
Hi Kara! Love y’all so much. My dad and I love to watch you together and his birthday is coming up and I was wondering if you had any merch or anything because I know he would love anything related to you guys.
I would do anything for some K&N merch!!
I love that I’m not the only one that cried over a food experience. We went to the Court of Two Sisters 4 days before hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. We ate the 4 course dinner and when they served the first course, I cried.
Glad to see you having a good time in Baja. Unfortunately, on two different occasions I was robbed and had my vehicle taken once. Probably in the wrong place at the wrong time. I also had a good friend murdered in lower Baja 20 years ago and it took almost two years for his family to recover his body back to the States. There were suspicion that a corrupt police unit was involved. Case was never solved. Just be careful, and don't be too trusting. There are beautiful friendly people there but to some, life has no value.
Do you know how many people get murdered every day in the United States?
@@randomlyrambling Far too many in some urban areas. I work in an ER.
i love the food scenes in these, thank you for including them kara and nate! hope you guys are having a lovely trip!
i love you guys sm!!❤️ i’m so happy you guys love my beautiful country BUT i’m sad to say please please don’t let your guard down!!!! even the national guard & local police can be bad people, the corruption there is insane! driving at night is so dangerous not because of the “wild horses” but because you run a bigger risk of getting robbed of the van or way worse! cartel activity is everywhere, even when you think everything is fine, trust me, someone somewhere can be keeping their eye on y’all. please be careful. don’t mean to be a debby downer & not saying it will happen i’m saying it COULD. sending blessings & safe travels your way❤️❤️❤️
SOOOO glad you guys hooked up with Drew and Brittany! Both of you guys make me smile nonstop Thanks
You have not spoke of the reasons it is not safe to drive in Mexico after dark. IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF WILD HORSES, POTHOLES OR WHATEVER ELSE YOU SAID. The cartels frequently set up check points of their own after dark on all major rural highways in Mexico and request outrageous bribes to drive on "their highway". If you can not pay, be prepared to pay in another form. That may be items in the car, which they may also take during a search. Nearly 100% of kidnappings happen on rural highways after dark.
Well, what I see in the vídeo was a high quality and peaceful road (SO much better that many US roads specially since Michigan to NJ)...in middle in a beautiful cactus landscape.
I’ve heard the same thing from multiple people. You have no chance because they impersonate the federales. What are you going to do? Only option is to maybe negotiate the bribe down a bit, if you dare.
Has vivido en México para decir eso o sólo se dejan influenciar por medios amarillistas?
Eso no quita la maravillosa cultura, la gente o la magia de México. Sin embargo, la realidad es la realidad. Cuanto antes los mexicanos se enfoquen en esa realidad, antes México se convertirá en un mejor lugar para TODOS los mexicanos.
Maybe take a chill pill....like who cares?
So nice to see Mexico through your channel as we probably never be there. Looks so beautiful by the water can't wait to see more.
Can we all agree that our husbands getting mad at us correcting them while driving is just a daily occurrence 😂
1st time I saw a different side of Nate, lololol
This is 100% my favorite Kara&Nate video ❤️
Hi Kara and Nate, I really love your channel! You have taken me around the world during lockdown! When you start travelling internationally again, please can you try and do shorter, daily vidd rater than longer vids as we want to follow you around daily rather than watch your adventure a few months after it has happened. Keep up the good work!
We? Who is we?
I couldn’t disagree more. I really appreciate that they take the time to edit together a great product, and little sort videos with less effort put in wouldn’t be as compelling.
Those Horses were amazing. That has to be a top highlight of this trip.
4:25 actually in the USA, the yellow light does mean STOP! According to the law, every driver has to stop at a yellow light unless he or she is too close to the intersection to stop safely.
It definitely does not mean go through if you think there’s time before it turns red.
In Australia, you would be known as an “amber gambler.”
I live in adelaide and have never heard anyone say amber gambler.
Enjoying the views. There is a different beauty in every place. Knowing how much space videos take up, how do you maintain space for all your footage? Been binge-watching your channel. Thank you so much for sharing. 😊
So glad you guys hooked up with Mr. and Mrs. Adventure. Next, you guys should keep your eyes out for the Van Wives. I love it when fellow TH-cam Van lifers not only run into each other, but truly enjoy it.
What a great video. Superb storytelling. Thank you for sharing this adventure. Safe travels. ✌
It is ALWAYS guac o'clock! I went to the Yucatan Peninsula a couple years ago over Yule/ Christmas with my family, and it was absolutely beautiful. I think y'all would enjoy the Peninsula as well.
Real life is worth watching. We appreciate the real deal in your marriage and expect nothing less. Please don't ever lessen yourselves and become "characters" on your TH-cam channel. Keep it real and we'll keep subscribing and watching. Safe Travels.
the honk is to say hi, is like enjoy, Welcome to my beautiful Mexico ❤
I think it is truly amazing for you guys to be able to see wild horses run by your van. I love watching your videos, 💜
Funny, I’m from Australia and have been checking if you have posted a video hoping you guys were ok. Very happy this morning to see you back online. I enjoy your travels very much. Stay safe guys and enjoy Mexico.
I found your videos last June, the first one that popped up in a search I was doing for whatever reason was the "Solar powered yacht". and then I started watching your Van Life Videos first, got all caught up on those, and then went all the way to the beginning. I just watched #100 last night. You guys are amazing story-tellers, videographers, and you have truly ignited my passion for travel. Even now, you're #vanlifing in Mexico, the country that is.. my Happy place. A year ago, I didn't have travel credit cards, I didn't know about Priority Pass, and today I have 3, plus Priority Pass (thru AMEX) and will be signing up for Fare drop. We're heading to Puerto Vallarta in 34 days, and it'll be our first taste of airport lounges :). You guys are amazing, I don't know what I'll do now that I have to wait for your weekly uploads :) Safe travels my friends, I hope to run into you out in the world some day. ~Tony
I'm just so so happy that you're finally getting the opportunity of actually living the van life you were looking forward to!! Thank you so much for sharing w us
