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. 😊🎥🌎

Awwwwww🤓🫶🏻
I love this and totally agree
A trip to Europe? Surviving without electricity on a deserted island? Van life? Hiking up a mountain? Nah, It’s living on a solar powered boat!
I was thinking the same thing lol
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
“You never know what you’re gonna get on this channel so thanks for sticking around” little do you guys know that’s exactly why we stick around it’s always a different adventure but our same favorite two people !

Just having some classic sailing content creator upload issues. Video going live soon!!! Giddy up internet 🐎
Yas! Can’t wait for your video as well!! ❤️
How could you not give us a warning about Lenny's haircut??? 🤯😆💇🏼🙈 he obviously looks great either way! 💖
It’s going to be worth the wait I’m sure!!! 🙌🏻 MISS YALL ❤️
Lenny! I love the haircut! ❤
@@KaraandNate we’re are your children? You both are to old to be acting like childless college students on summer break.
Heyooooo!! This solar powered yacht looks EPIC! Mind if we hop on board?!? 😉
I can't wait for those videos. I already saw a sneak peek on IG ♥️
If you didn't we'd be hugely disappointed 😁
Yes!! I love you guys together!
omg
YESSS! We need this Dolan on the solar boat!!! ❤🎉😁
Sailing La Vagabonde x Kara and Nate always makes the best crossover episodes.

You go girl 💪🏻

I found this channel during Covid, and I binged watched so many to catch up. I live vicariously through Kara and Nate, looking for to your next adventure.
Awww glad you enjoyed the journey! 🌏🤗❤️
LOL Same! Still catching up though.
SAME!!❤❤❤❤❤

Darn, I just love your videos. Whether you’re silently camping in Tennessee or silently-cruising the Mediterranean, and all the wonderful people, points and places in between, you two are definitely crushing it. Humble and kind.
Awww thanks Charles!❤

Hearing Kara talking about how worried she was for a second about how cold the water could be… after watching her do two polar plunges like a boss cracks me up lol 😂

I love Kara's tours and showing us all around where ever they're staying.
she should be a voice for museum’s or audio books

I think part of the reason I enjoy Kara & Nate is because of how varied your content is, I never know what crazy stunt you guys will try next. It is refreshing and fun to watch.

“The boat parking lot”. And this is why we love Kara.
💁🏻♀️
Gotta love her 😍

I’ve now been watching for 5 years and that seems crazy! It’s been incredible watching y’all go through life and throughly enjoying every minute of it! Thank you for the awesome content 🥰🥹
5 years?? Amazing 🫶🏻 thanks for sticking around!
🤣 "Boat parking lot". Never heard a harbor or marina called that before, but it makes sense to a landlubber. I love Kara and here commentaries.
Just in case you are able to read my comment; you're one of the few youtubers that i never miss watching or following religiously, so much fun and adventurous as always watching your vlog guys. Love from India 🥰
❤❤❤
kara, the secret to literally any pasta sauce is the cooking water, it makes the sauce bind because of the starch in it, so as a little tip, always keep the cooking water or at least a cup of it!! btw, loved the video!

25:59; when Kara attempts to read the laundry settings in German🤣🥰 I literally laughed out loud. So cute!
Mee too! I've watched that part like 5 times!😂👍 I'm from Germany 🥰
We laughed so much at that moment! haha! We bought a Swedish boat and we are english speaking Americans... so we are in the process of getting all of our labels switched to english. It made for some funny conversation in the beginning when we couldn't understand certain labels!
The country roads singing 💓 warms my mountaineer heart
Love how you guys are willing to say yes to any kind of adventure!
Can I just say how much I love who you all are as people? From the way Nate wakes Kara up with a morning kiss and coffee to the way that Kara makes meals for everyone onboard to make your guests feel comfortable. ❤

Love how you guys always keep us on our toes on what your next adventure is!❤️
Love the daily drop, subscribed a month ago after watching your channel for almost a year now and I can’t get out of bed until I read the daily drop now!! Thank you guys for sharing your amazing experiences! It truly does help and because of you I was able to take my first trip I planned a month ago and now planning something else with your daily help, thank y’all so much!!
this is an amazing part of your channel... island sunset .. fun with friends ... cook Kara... night sky ... sunrise with Kara... mostly waves and the color ... love the simplicity and love this episode ❤️
Yay it’s Saturday!! I have that thought every Saturday for a number of reasons, one of which is a new Kara and Nate video to watch. Thanks for making awesome videos and something little to look forward to each week.
I have been watching from the beginning and will always watch! Thank you for being an awesome role model for this world with your content! Humble, graceful, kind and adventurous! My family loves you guys!
I was so overwhelmed watching this video that I cried. I'm so proud of you both for doing that climb.
I love when you 2 family's do videos together. It's like a warm fuzzy present!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I found this channel due to them living in their van, and enjoy those videos. Now I just can't get enough of these travel videos ♥️

You should do a ranking of "it doesn't get much better than this" moments. You guys say it in almost every video and I'm interested in which one would be in the rankings. 😁
I’m extremely jealous…you guys are all living my dream. I am way too old for these type adventures now, so I am living vicariously through you guys! Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful views with us out here in TH-cam land! Loved seeing Riley , Elena and the boys too! Hearing little Lenny talk is so cute! Thanks for sharing!!!
I was deep in a dark deep hole of grief and you helped me dig out. Thanks for bringing us with you on these unique experiences. Stay well and positive living your best lives. Hello from London : - )
I love seeing how much joy you get from every experience no matter what it is, you have inspired me to start learning how I can travel on my own and enjoy this beautiful world. Thanks Kara and Nate you are amazing!
That’s awesome to hear Jonathan! Go for it! 🌏🥳
I've watched all of your videos since the beginning and it's amazing to see how far y'all have grown and all of the awesome things you guys do everyday ❤️ ❤️
I LOVE that you've collabed with Elanya and Raily and family! I love watching you all because you make the most entertaining videos! (Captain Mike was pretty chill amid the chaos! )
Love this and seeing y'all with Riles and Elana. Pray for safe travels
Kara is looking so fit and healthy. The good life is showing. Thanks for sharing your journey.

The quality of your videos are always incredible! Love watching you guys so much!
I'm so happy I get to see the full tour here too. It's so cool to hear it from your perspective
I love seeing this collaboration, I love seeing Riley have to take a back seat to something that is normally his 24/7 life, I love that you guys went for a run, you guys made a great video
I absolutely love how Nate makes Kara coffee every morning.
It’s the cutest thing in the world and such a big way to show love even though it’s something small and simple! Currently in the process of showing my bf how I like my coffee so he can do this for me(he wants too, just doesn’t drink coffee so has no idea what “measurements” to use😅)
It's always fun to see what y'all end up doing each week!
Every video for the past 6 months-ish have gotten better and better and the first video back roughly six months was AMAZING!!!! As are all of them. Love your channel Kara & Nate! Your fan, 3 yrs., -Jeremy :)
Soooo thoughts on boat life? Next chapter for us maybe?👀

I love boat life! Definitely something that needs to continue :)
It's dope
Yes videos would be so good
Plot twist????????
Omg yes good idea these videos are so fun to watch and they are inspiring…❤️❤️❤️
That sunrise footage was in real. It looked lovely and calm. Something straight out of a dream.
I love the music at 25:16. Suits the scene beautifully. So peaceful.
love the dichotomy of ur channel: woods one week, yacht the next! can’t wait to watch this one 😁
If you guys made a video everyday that wouldn't be too much to watch. Thanks for sharing your adventures! I love them and you guys!
Hello how are you doing?!
Love the sailing vagabond team, i watched them 5yrs ago and they set a tone! Sailing delos followed yet the intial vibe was set by vagabond, dude was for real.
Oklahoma Gal here!! Oh my goodness I just love You all!! Sweet girl hope your feeling well… prayed for you a long time now!! You look Beautiful!! So fun to watch you all !! Laughter is 💯The best medicine!! Keep on doing what makes your hearts smile!! You are are a blast to watch land or sea!’💞
I love how you give so many different videos like you are either in the van, or flying, visiting nice hotels, camping, or at home visiting family and friends. I love you guys ❤
Lol keeping it interesting 🤓
I love y’all’s content! You guys inspire me so much! We recently booked a antartica cruise ship because of y’all! Love you guys! Hope you had fun!!!
Ahhhhh ENJOY!!!!!! 🇦🇶🐧
You learn something new everyday! As a keen boater (more of a wide beam narrowboat rather than a cruise ship) I never thought you could cruise in darkness but it may just be the rules on the waterways in the UK.
Kara and Nate, I have been watching you guys since the Beginning and now look where you are!!!!! You are guys are so positive about every situation. Every time I click on one of you video's you brighten My day. I am only 12 and one day i want to be like you guys❤
You two always make my week! Been watching you for years and love all of your videos! I always grab a cup of coffee and relax when I get the notification of a new video.
Awww cheers ☕️🫶🏻
Awesome guys, so glad Mike made you his bread. 😊
Love love loved this. What a beautiful boat… Lovely to see you’ve got Riley and family with you, Total reassurance on board. Can’t wait to watch theirs, plus all the others.
Seriously made my Saturday night.
The food looks stunning Kara. Xx
Enjoy lovely people ❤
So excited to see you guys hanging out with La vagabond again!! My two favorite travel couples! One from the land and one from the sea ❤
Hello how are you doing?
I love that you guys include the nanny into everything 🥺 very sweet , and treat her as a human 💕 you guys are very lovable
Love seeing you guys with Elayna, Riley and the boys❣⛵🌊 Love Elayna's red hair!! Happy sailing ‼
I so so so much appreciate the fact you put metric units on screen when you mention imperial
Your videos always make my day❤️
couldn't have picked a better family to go solar boating with!!! I bet Riley was a backseat driver the whole time with Capt Mike 🤣 what a trip ❤️❤️❤️
Ya, because he knows in a week, Nate takes the controls and Riley is probably still having nightmares of Nate takung over his vessel. :P jk Nate
I just love your videos,as your enthusiasm and smiles, as you take on new adventures is infectious! Nate bringing you coffee each morning is so precious ❤ and you’re with my favorite sailing family! Blessings and much Aloha 🙏💜🌎☮️🌎💜🙏
I love the variety with you guys each week!!
Whenever we need to get happy now, all we have to do is watch ANY Kara and Nate episode - new or old 💟 🎶
🤗🫶🏻
Each Episode: Erupts with Life outside the 'mainstream'.. GLOWFORWARD!
Soooo TRUE! My business partner ALSO loves their honest FUN of Adventure!!
Kara is going to have to write a cookbook soon! Some of those meals looked SOOO good!
My husband thought the same thing! We sail full time and he wants to try her quick and easy pasta dish on our boat!
I am only 6 minutes in and thinking ahead to the next Vlog, because it it bound to be more of the same! Awwwweeesome that Riley and Elayna and Co. are with you! That's like having peanut butter and JAM in your sandwich! Thanks to you all for the great footage you do--living vicariously through you all--big smile on my face. xx
Just here to say, I love you guys. And I'm so glad you're out international again. Love the juxtaposition of the last video with this one.
As a sailor myself🙏❤️ Everyone should get to experience this amazing part of the world. Sailing the Cyclades is my absolute favorite. Great episode 👍
We are just starting our circumnavigation around the globe in our Najad 440 formerly RAN II from Ran Sailing and we cant wait to sail the Cyclades.
I love this video!! ❤ Hopefully the liquor corn turned out alright 😂
What a pleasure to watch! 🥰
Lovely scenery, interesting information about the boat, so enjoyable to see you doing another collab, great mix of humour with documenting your trip.
So awesome to see how far you’ve come! Xx
My hubby and I were watching your video around dinner time and wondering what to make for dinner. We watched you cook the pasta and went straight to kitchen to whip it up. Thanks for the recipe! I love seeing you guys with vagabond and eamon and bec
Thanks! For the entertainment, for the inspiration to travel, and for just being you guys!
my husband wants to take me out for my birthday today, but I told him I can't leave home without watching Kara and Nate awesome video hahaha thank you for sharing this awesome video ❤
Hahaha love it!
What an awesome unexpected treat for my Saturday morning! Love both families!
I can I just say how much I love to see two of my fav TH-cam channels filming together. Wish Eamen and Bec were with yas 💜
Always LOVE a Collab especially with people I already follow. First you guys with eamon and Bec and now you're sailing la vagabonde lol. Is this their new boat?
Some of our fav people in the world!
And no, their new boat isn’t done yet. But when it is we’ll definitely be visiting them 🤗
@@KaraandNate I've seen your IG stories and know there's gonna be an epic Collab with all of you and eamon and Bec soon and I can't wait!
I absolutely love when you guys connect with others creators. It’s always an adventure. However, can you guys only stay in one place (kinda) for 2 whole weeks if your on a boat? Lol
@Kara and Nate Ummmmm I understand thanks for commenting but as for the rest of it I’m lost.
I love how adventurous you are!!
This is crazy! I hope you guys have an amazing week!
Absolutely LOVE these K&N and SLV crossover videos!!! Love seeing my two favourite sets of TH-camrs combine efforts and develop a close friendship!! More of these please! Maybe K&N can visit Riley and Elayna in Vietnam? Xx
You two are the best!
I’m watching all the new stuff when they come out, while catching up on the old! (currently Ep 300s in S America).
So fun to watch both. 🤗
loving Elayna's new hair colour and cut. & Lenny's cut too. enjoy yourselves.
Sooo happy..my two favorite channels making a video together....great work...keep the dream alive!!!!
I love that Kara and Nate are both so positive
Cool video as always. Love that you included Sailing La Vagabonde crew! While I agree somewhat with Riley on this boat's seaworthyness at least for extremes....I think this silent yacht can "sail" around the world. Lots of tech and combined with a competent crew....I think it would do just fine. I agree that it was "designed" for island hopping in the Med or Carribean.
Looking forward to week 2 and LOVE The Daily Drop!!! Funny, informative and saves people money. GO SIGN UP NOW!!
Just love watching your travels, you never know where you are going to be ❤❤
This channel must be always there. Really enthralled by your adventures.
You guys are so much fun to watch! Thank you for distracting me from my pain while I recover from surgery. It almost feels like I am on the boat having fun with you guys.

Don't need to push the smell through the screen. I have been there many times. I absolutely know what you mean, Nate.
Thought that you guys would take a bit of time off on that boat but here we go again.
I'm thrilled! It's day 9 of quarantine here and your content is putting a smile into my face.
2 of my favorite observations from this episode:
1. Riley (sorry if that's spelled incorrectly!) noting how the prospect of spilling something out of the frig is a normal morning with the kids. I used to joke, when my kids were little, that it wasn't a meal if someone didn't spill something. 😄
2. The picnic on the floor. I would sometimes make nachos for dinner with my kids (I was a single mom from the time they were 2 and 5). I always spread out 2 big towels on the living room floor and we would eat them picnic style! I don't even know why I started that tradition with them, but we always ate them that way.
Thanks for the lovely memories!! 💕
The opportunities y'all get are so insane! Your networking must be on point! Something about watching y'all live the EXACT life I've envisioned for myself is surreal! Goals before 30
Thank you very much for the upload. I hope that I've never seen a solar panel with a yacht before. ❤️
Thank you as always for taking us with you🤠❤️. Two great couples on a ship in paradise!
I remember once taking a ferry in Croatia, 5:30am to 6:30am: we boarded in darkness, but then suddenly the world around us was a whirlwind of soft pinks and lavenders. I thought i would die from beauty overload. Sunrise at sea is an ethereal experience, I'm so happy for you
I got SOOO excited when I saw how long this video was!! You guys never dissapoint!!! ❤
I found this channel due to van life and ever since I can’t stop watching them because the videos are you exciting and I can’t get enough
Wow indeed @23:37 Clearly seeing the constellation of Orion so clear on camera, rare views !
You guys are genuinely my absolute favorite TH-camrs. Every video is something different & it’s amazing. Also, this boat is HUGE holy crap lol
