    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” & became obsessed. 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 home to “normal life.” We started this travel vlog to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with this lifestyle and did everything we could to keep going. 4 years later, we achieved our new goal of visiting 100 countries and all 7 continents. We had no plans to slow down, until 2020 forced us to ;) Which is when we bought a converted van to start exploring our own country for the first time. Van life was a major adjustment and so different than flying every week like we were used to, but we are incredibly thankful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎

      Yes, 100% agree! I also think this audience is older (I don't mean old because I'm Kara's age but just not primarily really really young people) and wouldn't be the type to want to consume shorts over these traditional vlogs. I wouldn't want to see the channel change in that way!

      @Tiamariawouldntwanttobeya 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Totally agree! I think this gen that grew up with TH-cam and not shorts, tiktok or reels can pay attention to quality made long vids. Although the above is entertaining they have no depth to it. They are exactly what social media is and don’t show too much reality. TH-cam I feel, gives you a bit more of that reality or maybe it’s just the people/things I watch 😅

      Really enjoyed it and the way it was done, not just a single sit down but as you guys are doing other things and loved hearing Elayna and Riley’s answers alongside you guys. Makes the Q&A refreshing. Also some great questions too that are different from the usual. And I like the way it was spliced so it still shows how your time went. Thanks for bringing us along. I clicked so fast the moment my notification bar came and I watched it while sitting in a cafe!

    I don't think you should worry about shorter content! Watching your 30min long videos is like watching a TV series and the more content you get the better. It's perfect to watch while eating or taking a breather, I would not be able to imagine watching TH-cam shorts in that way. Keep up the great content! ❤️☺️

      @lisa Anderson Cancer & chemotherapy treatment takes so much out of you and they are also going thru the fertility thing (or have done so) but I’m guessing Bec is needing time for healing, finding her energy and her new normal. This has taken a toll on them both as a couple too ..there maybe surgical mastecomy(ies) also to come which would be HUGE and another reason they’re not posting as survival is the utmost importance here. Let’s pray for them and send them good positive energy :)🙏🏼

    I am literally living for this video! I was so excited to see yall get on this boat I don't even think words could sum it up.
    Each week I await a new video from yall and it never disappoints! If you guys decide to restart the 50 states goal and make it to ohio let me know!
    As for the shorts on TH-cam, I myself don't watch them but I will say I did actually find yall through Facebook videos. I would watch those and after a while I found you guys on TH-cam and it has opened up to so many others yall have done collabs with. Yall are my laundry folding jam and I am so thankful that finding this genre of TH-cam has helped me travel with my kiddos and give them unforgettable life experiences as well as myself. Since watching your guises channel I have made a goal that every year I have to do at least 5 things that make me uncomfortable! The thought of you guys being parents and traveling excites me even more! So thanks for all the videos guys! love you!!! ❤️

    I love you guys so much and am so sorry your viewers feel entitled to what you do with your lives and what you choose to share when it's YOU who are doing us the favor of bringing us along and putting us in touch with the rest of the world. People who balk at paying for content are people who have NO appreciation for how much WORK it is to run a TH-cam channel, especially of your caliber. To do that and ALSO put immense effort, time, and planning into your travels is INSANE to me, but you do it with laughter and grace (most of the time). You guys are an inspiration and I appreciate you more than you'll ever know! Also, because of you, my hubby and I are going to stay in the Ponderosa in Whitefish soon! Is it weird that I'm excited to know that you guys were there??

    This was so fun to watch! And I'm with you, Kara! We went from being on the fence about kids to deciding we don't want kids... and that decision feels good! All I can say is it's okay to not be sure! And don't let others ever pressure you if your decision starts to lean towards 'no'... We had people who used to try to pressure us into having kids and they finally backed off!

    • @bigwideworld387
      @bigwideworld387 2 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      I absolutely second this, my partner and I had the same pressures - I hated it when people would say "oh but you might feel different when you have one of your own" - you don't bring a kid into the world to see if it makes you change your mind about wanting kids!!! We live in different times and there's a good few childfree travelling couples on you tube for us all to feel kindred spirits with 😊

      100% agree. Have a kid ONLY if you want to. Shut off the external noise and the norm of the world to have a kid. Do what your heart wants and don't try to fit in the 'supposed' to be norm of having a kid. I can tell from my personal experience that if you truly don't want to have kids, you will never regret it.

      @@bigwideworld387 Exactly! Don't bring a life into this world just cause that is what everyone else does. Bringing a life into this world is a big responsibility as one is going to mold life and thoughts of this living creature they consciously made a choice to bring into this world. Never ever make this decision based on following what rest of the world does. Anyhow, said all that and knowing from what I can understand how Kara is, she will not be pressured. And admire that!!

    I would say the biggest reason my wife and I wanted a kid (or two) is because we both want to see how well we can raise a kid in this crazy world. And something to look forward to and celebrate with achievements with the kid and know (hopefully) we can grow with them when we're old and all of our friends are gone :)

I could watch an hour of Nate working on the van no issues.
    P.S. Can't believe I've been following you guys past van life, it must be at least 4 years.

    I hope that when you pop into the US to visit family, you can cross off a new state (or territory if you wanted something different and went to Puerto Rico, Guam, or American Samoa; that'd be super cool). I think that'd be better than a speed run. I've always enjoyed seeing you guys do things recommended by fans. If there was one thing you took from the US goal, it would be visiting places when they are at their best.
    One of the best things about having this channel be so famous is having a fan everywhere, so you two can share special secrets and local knowledge wherever you go.

      I’ve traveled all over the world and eaten everything imaginable, from gourmet to simple street food. There may be dozens of books and movies about fancy French food but plop my butt down in Italy any day and you can find remarkable food. Italians not only make good food, they live it. From simple carbonara in a Rome lunch shop to a three hour long Sunday family style feast on a hillside in Positano, food is Italy. I speak only a smattering of Italian but I can order its food without thinking about it. A simply marvelous place on Earth in that respect.
