Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the #travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this #travelvlog to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling! After achieving our new goal of 100 countries before 2020 and all 7 continents, we have no plans to slow down anytime soon, and we are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
This is what my parents sound like when they tell stories about how far they had to travel to walk to school
My mother was from Buffalo. And, yes, she did walk to school during blizzards.
hahaha 😂
LMAO!
Rafting and you mountain bike let's go
Uphill both ways right
It looks so cool but extremely scary at the same time! Wow! Such an extreme experience! 🙌 You do look like a burrito Kara ahahahah
your story really made me feel for the people thousands of years ago in the middle east who would travel by foot from country to country through the desert. props to y'all
Lots of people are asking why no new video today... Kara posted a quick Insta story saying how busy she has been following on as support for Nate and the other guys on their 500 mile bike challenge... she apologized and said she will get one posted tomorrow (Monday). I, too, was worried Nate maybe had bitten off more than he could chew this time!
Y’all are crazy! Kudos for completing the challenge. Even more difficult with the filming!
I live about 30 or 40 miles from the dunes. Been there many ti.es. but would never camp that far out. Maybe because I know more than the average person about the area. But I love yoir vlogs and it's so fun to think you were in "backyard". Major props to you both for doing this. 🙂
It might be worth getting some hiking gear - a lightweight sleeping bag, mat and tent for starters.
All I can thing about is them running back to get their camera after the walking shots 😭
Totally
Awww I was hoping to see the stars!
This was the first time she didn’t get her morning coffee like she always gets as she’s waking up ☕️
Glad you guys did it so I didn’t have too!
Noticed that you were carrying an Insta360 1R camera. How's is it working for you? Would love for you to include full 360 videos of the locations you visit!
Hey, Kara and Nate.
Is this Omaze thing real? I would love to enter into the contest but I don't want to get scammed out of my money. I know that the money is going to restore a rock climbing areas and as a rock climber myself that is very important to me. I would love to win this contest cause I myself have plans to buy and convert a sprinter van and this would save me so much money. If there is any way to let me know if this real let me know.
I don't think they would promote something like this if it was a scam, they have too much of a reputation to take a risk. I would google Omaze and you may find a forum or people's expériences about the company
It is legit. Don't worry!
Transparency standards of Omaze are unacceptably low for company working with charity organizations. I was not able to find any financial reports or details about past sweepstakes.
I would like to know how much they had raised and transferred to each charity after each contest. What is their profit in comparison to money transferred to actual charity? The only number we have is: “… Omaze has given over $100 million to charity!” Since the company is running for more than 6 years, it was 16.7 million per year in average. I am wondering where exactly all this money goes. And I am even more concerned since I have found “Over $100 million raised to support charity” on the other page. “Why is that so important and what is the difference between “raised” and “given”?” - you would probably ask. Let us read their official statement:
“When you contribute $10 for the chance to win a celebrity experience (set visit, dinner date, tickets to a premiere, etc.), $6 is donated to charity, $2.50 on average goes towards marketing expenses and credit card fees, and Omaze nets the remaining $1.50. A $10 contribution for the chance to win a prize-based experience (like a car, vacation or tuition) breaks down as follows: $1.50 is donated to charity; $7 typically goes to sourcing and shipping the prize, covering the winner’s taxes, marketing the experience, and processing credit card fees; and $1.50 goes to Omaze. These experiences require substantially more resources to secure the prize and help spread the word.”
So, only 15% - 60% goes to actual charity. When you are in a not-for-profit sector nobody expects you to make money. Generally, we want charity to take money we made and deliver promise with as little overheads as possible. Unfortunately, this is not a strategy to get the best impact for your money. Omaze is bragging that their for-profit model enables them to expand marketing services “far beyond what’s usually done in the nonprofit space”, and therefore increase the total dollars raised for partners. Unfortunately, I have no data to prove whether it is true or not. As a financial professional I would agree with some of Dan Pallottas’s ideas. Yes, it is important to invest in your growth, but such growth should be measurable. I can not disagree that 90% of $100 000 is less than 60% of $500 000 ($90 000 vs $300 000), but 90% of $100 000 is more than 15% of $500 000 ($90 000 vs $75 000). At the same time overheads for non-profits becomes revenues if you are private for-profit organization. When you are getting fixed portion of the pie (15%) the bigger the pie - the better for you, but when you really trying to maximize benefits for charity partners it is not that easy. Due to decreasing nature of return, at some point, company would have to cut marketing spendings since they are not bringing positive return any more. It is clear conflict of interests for Omaze, and I would like to know how they are handling it.
And there is a final question for the company - what sort of business is that?
We can assume that this is some sort of marketing platform for charities, then why does it charge 60% of marketing budget ($1.50/$2.50) - that is insane. So, I would believe that Omaze is in lottery style business and using legal loopholes to run it. It looks like they need charities to make it more legit.
To all the people that say they use a drone to get their shots instead of walking ahead and setting up a tripod, I can assure you being the owner of a drone it would be near impossible to keep it that still in those strong winds.
You can also clearly see (13:25) in some of the shots that they use a tripod.
When is the next episode coming?
Where are ur play buttons
Plz show them officially on the channel!!!!
I know a hike for you it is called Juan de fuca it is five days I have bin there it is hard
With all due respect, this looked like a nightmare.
That was my thoughts exactly ! Good on the doh - I feel like if I ever make it there I wont have to put my self through it I will just rewatch this ! 😂😂

Lol
Great last name!!
hats off to Nate for hiking twice to set the camera up on the dune! That is dedication to the vlog! LOL
Drone.
@@erikaInDR smart! Hadn't thought of that!

@Barry Baz no they don’t you can tell
Many people have iconic phrases Kara and nate’s being: “This is home for the night”
and "bathroom tour"
Alexis Shivas that is very true

Sn__wwy don't forget "I think this is the hardest thing we've ever done."
So, let's start a packing list for next time...
1. Tent
2. Sleeping Pad
3. Goggles
4. Bobcat Repellent Spray
5. Non-Tuna Dinner
6. Rain Gear
7.Snickers
You don’t need bobcat spray😂 bobcats are like twenty pounds. If you meant mountain lion, you would just use bear spray for it, but again these are not mountain lion tracks.
And backpack for Kara!

Ear plugs
Imagine having a life changing experience everyday for the last three years.
For real like I’m about to head to some countries and see what they’re really like vs what school taught us. Stay tuned because in ten years or so I may vlog it...
Kara and Nate: “I think that’s the hardest thing we’ve ever done”
Us: you said that last week, and the one before that 😂
LOL. I was thinking the same thing. 😊
That's what makes it so fun and interesting to watch. They are always taking on new challenges
@@personincognito3989 Yeah that's true!!
Lol🤣🤣
Yassss hahahah
Item to add to necessary van life storage: small 2 person tent.

Item to add to necessary van life storage: LARGE 2 person tent.
:p
Get a 3-person. There's not that much difference in price and weight, but being able to fit some gear in the tent with you if it starts raining makes a huge difference. Plus, if you're car camping, a 3-person fits a queen size air mattress!
@@unpopablebubble my rule is if it say a 2 person, get a 4 person lol. I think they use the measurements of a small child to determine person size 😂
I want that Kara and Nate type love 😭
when they set down their camera so they can film themselves walking but then they have to walk back and get it
dedication
"film"?
@@hukshot ya like record themselves
It's a drone
yes, but "film"?
It’s so strange how one country can have so many different landscapes
Nicholas Pitsillos ikr
I know right?! Who knew!
Kara and Nate yeah!
Scotland is the same. We have it ALL here too!! I love my country for that reason. It's so beautifully scenic!!! Heaven sent!
@@KaraandNate you guys are the best. You always put a smile on my face!!😁
I was really upset about the state of things tonight. My daughter said, "Come on, Mom, which Kara and Nate do you want to watch?" It really helped to take a mini vacation with you guys. Thanks for helping people travel virtually. It makes a difference!

I like how Nate wakes Kara up every single time..with coffee, a slight nudge, and a kiss :) too sweet!
I need a Nate
I like it when they wake up and they're still alive😅
@@agonicole I can’t deal with how cheap he is. There is no way they aren’t having off camera fights over it. I’m not saying they shouldn’t try to save money when they can. But he’s to the point of aggravating.
It's crazy how y'all continue to take on challenges that are harder than the ones you just completed! keep on going!
8:31 That's some dedicated vlogging action!
Flying the drone out in front of you and walking towards it is dedication?
@@katherine7444 They walked to the spot. Set up the camera then walked backwards the could film themselves walking
@@joelenelester8564 Why arent there any footprints then?
katherine7444 there are...
@@rylo881 No, there arent, if you pause at 8:34 you can see the footprint behind them but no footprints in front of them.
Could you please do a video with the YES THEORY guys!!! I think it would be a great collaboration as both of your youtube videos seek discomfort in all your adventures. Check em out, you guys would make a wicked video together!! love you guys 🤍
The Yes Theory guys are dwindling
I'm watching all your videos in a random order, but I just wanted to leave a comment to say how much I enjoy your channel and how you guys open up the world to the rest of us. Thank you 😊 You genuinely seem like such lovely people doing some amazing things. Especially impressed with how you've handled things during covid and I've actually really enjoyed the things you've put out from Stateside. It's been a tough year or two but I'm really looking forward to getting out and travelling some more myself when I can and you guys are keeping that wanderlust building. All the best from the UK 🇬🇧✌🏻
When you know what's going to happen in the vlog because you stalk them on Instagram
The fact you do these excruciating hikes and make them even harder on yourselves to capture beautiful shots of you walking far ahead blows my MIND! You guys are seriously amazing!
i thought exactly the same
It always reminds me of just how much bloody hard work goes into a good video!💓
Nate has a good point... you don’t want your hands to smell like the PREDATORS FOOD! Amazing that you got any sleep at all with mountain lion tracks around😅
Thankfully we didn't see those until in the morning or I definitely wouldn't have slept!
Kara and Nate yeh its just as well you didn’t see them before😂
Mountain lions do not see you as lunch. They like small scurrying things - and swift moving trail runners - lunch & fun!
Kara and Nate I pretty much guarantee that that wasn’t a mountain lion. It may have been a coyote or even a fox. The shape and size were not right for a mountain lion
@@Vaughnwb I agree, I wouldn't have thought mountain lion. I was thinking bobcat. They were pretty small when he put his finger in them.
My heart broke when Kara was talking about how the harsh sand was hurting her. They are so amazing for pushing through!
One time at the Sand Dunes, I was sleeping “under the stars” (i. e. no tent) and when I woke up in the middle of the night there was the greatest meteor show, with meteor after meteor streaking across the sky every minute or so. I thought it must just be normal for the Sand Dunes because it’s so dark, but years later I realized it was probably the annual Perseids meteor shower. You were so close to the optimum Perseids date (August 12), I hope you were able to see them.
saw them as a kid, my parents woke us up at like 3 am and drove us out to the middle of no where, totally worth it, Have not seen them since.
I think in the description they said they filmed in July. Still possible they saw a few if in July.😊✌

I got to watch the Perseids in Desolation Wilderrness (near lake Tahoe) in 2020 and it was one of the coolest experiences of my life.
Me watching:
So they edited this,and put it up on TH-cam, Oh thank god they're alive😂

Thank you so much Kara and Nate for liking my video! It means SO much :D
Lol, right?!
Kara - there is no such thing as overusing the footage of Nate scaring himself near to death working on the electrical system!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Oh, and next time in sand dunes... goggles!!
Old but not dead hahaha I’ve found a way to sneak it into almost every vlog since 🤣🤣🤣
@@KaraandNate Need more of the lighting himself on fire clip too.

I know it wasn’t funny at the time but Nate’s “repairs” and ultimate mishaps in the van are priceless. Stay safe!
Yep 😂🤣
Bathroom tour in the dunes?? 😂
Ikrrrr
My legs were burning just watching y’all hike in the sand. My hubby and I have gone to the top of the first big dune and it was definitely a challenge so kudos to y’all for going all the way!! I couldn’t believe watching IG when y’all woke up to the cat tracks🙈, that’s bloomin’ scary!!! I love that y’all are loving my state of Colorado!! Happy travels🚐
Stay you ✌🏼

I love u Kara and Nate!
Who else is early?

Kara and Nate you should stop wearing fleece masks there was a study that they actually are worse then not wearing a mask
It seems like fun now, but you will be finding sand in your stuff for months.

Hello Kara and Nate
I am a kid watching you from Greece and I want too set a goal to visit 100 countries
I am still 10 so I have been only to N. Ireland Irealnd and Germany. But thans to you feel I have been to 100 countries from your videos and everything else you have done. I also like you are always ready for something new.
Love your videos
Kimon
If that was a mountain lion it was fresh out the womb 😂 their tracks are usually MUCH bigger haha
I was thinking bobcat
Maybe another of those stray cats that are in so many videos 😢😢 I'm not being serious
I don't think you understand how footprints work in the sand
Those are most likely coyote tracks because they are in groups of two and are two small to be mountain lion tracks. Lion tracks index on themselves because the rear paw lands where the front paw landed.
If Nate always made smart decisions, they wouldn't be here today.
Exactly what I was thinking!
Hi friend ❤️❤️ come and see srilankan travel ...Remember to bring our traveling channel to the forefront and don't forget to like, comment and subscribe to us. If you like the video, please share it.
Hi guys, love the channel. Those are coyote tracks, and they naturally get laid down in couplets. Coyotes are usually very shy, and this one was probably shocked once she realized you were out there. Big cat tracks are about 400% larger, laid down evenly, not paired, and are in nearly a straight line. actually, if a person looks down a line of lion tracks they will make very slight lazy "s's", often with a tail dip alternating with the stride. If you're nearRockies
Very useful info, thank you!
Nate owes you a spa year. I'd watch a full year of vlogs where Kara is just endlessly pampered at spas all over the country.
Who else comes to the comments but has nothing to say 😂
Love you guys!!
Hahaha hope you enjoyed the vlog 🙃

Its so sweet how he still always makes her morning coffee and places it next to her 😭😭💕
Wow! It's amazing that you guys have the perseverance to set up a tripod, walk away from it, then tramp back again. Definitely longer than an eight-mile round trip! 😂
Nate at 6:00 AM - “We did it!”
Kara - “Mmhm, Shhhh, I’m not done doing it yet.”
😂
The sand dunes hold a very special place in my heart. When I was a little girl, we would go down to Alamosa which is south west where you guys were staying, and would kidnap my great grandparents go to KFC, buy a big ol bucket of chicken and go to the sand dunes and play all day long in the sand and the creek, if it was flowing above ground, lol. I miss them and the trip so much. I'm so happy y'all were having fun exploring my home state, I can't wait too see what's next on your adventures!
Nate was making me tear up not because of the sand, but telling us how far him and Kara have come. :')
I love how through difficulties Kara and Nate remain calm and happy. Most people (including me) would complain so much about the sand and difficulties of climbing. And Kara and Nate are just happy to be together and experiencing something new.
Those sand dunes are in the US? Wow looks like somewhere in Arabia. And you didn’t let the wind stop you in your tracks, even when you were in pain. Never give up, never surrender
I see you everywhere
They have tons of sand dunes here in Southern California. Look up Glamis :)
Hello, fellow Cuban American, I think we watch the same videos cause I see you everywhere 🤣
If you can get Google Earth you should take a look at that. That is the a great way to see everything in the world, well almost everything.
These sand dunes are near Alamosa, Colorado. It’s a national park, but never too crowded. These are the highest dunes in North America, and butt up against the mountains there, on the east side of the valley.
Hey that’s where I live well technically it’s about 20 miles from my house. And FYI it’s one of the coldest places in the US it can get below -40 F. And yup our town is the one they went to for tents, and not the biggest we don’t even have Uber or Lyft. I don’t know for sure about the tracks but I have seen many coyotes around.
can we just freaking talk about how Nate wakes Kara up every morning the coffee kiss and snuggle was EVERYTHING I love them so much
16:29 😂 (Kara is thinking “imma eat it when you fall asleep”)
For a second, I thought they weren't in America anymore from the thumbnail. Its so crazy to think of sand dunes in the US sometimes
Yeah we have sand dunes in a few different states. The ones I know of are Arizona, California, Idaho and Colorado.
I'm from Michigan and we have tons of sand dunes around the Great Lakes
@@haydenmoore7482 new Mexico has white sands, huge gorgeous dunes.
Jessi on the Go yes!!! How did I forget about white sands!!
Utah also has them. Little Sahara & also Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. The latter is almost 4,000 acres. Kara & Nate should pop over next door from Colorado, because Utah has amazing diversity of natural landscapes & so many national & state parks, with truly an unlimited amount of adventure opportunities!

Sometimes, I need something positive that puts a smile on my face. That’s EXACTLY your videos! Thanks for being awesome. I’m a big fan. ❤️😃
💯 agree.. great videos :)

Yes yes and yes
Just a suggestion but you could take pics of the tracks, show to a ranger and they could tell you. If something like that happens again. My guess is coyote, looked canine to me.
I never get sick of the Nate almost electrocuting himself scene. So funny!
I can't believe all of the risks you guys take it definitely make me want to watch more and you make all your videos so relatable and show the ups and downs of van life!!
All I keep thinking is the sand you're gonna be finding for months! It's like glitter...the gift that keeps on giving...
That's not a mountain lion, their tracks are MUCH larger
Laura Nothstine it’s obviously a large dog someone brought with them
it was probably a bobcat
A bobcat
@@KOKOBC but there wasn't any human tracks near the paw tracks.... maybe it could have been a bobcat?
Coyote.
Who else literally gets SO EXCITED when they post!? I always love your videos! They inspire and motivate me SOOO much with growing my channel! Thank you for making such amazing videos!❤️

When you said that it doesn’t actually seem that big on camera you were so true, I went there last summer and they are huge they don’t seem that big until you get to them
Kara in the morning is a complete mood and I love it.
Y'all got a virus... and it ain't Corona.... it's the TRAVEL BUG!! I'm inspired to spend $50,000 just to get a van and find an adventurous girlfriend so I can do this kind of traveling 😂
Peter Bilzerian Do it & vlog the experience for sure! 😁
i'm dead this is relatable
@@JustCallMeAnnie I already vlog my crazy travel adventures around the world on my channel, but since the pandemic hit I've been in the US at home. I need to spice up my life real quick
Peter Bilzerian Awesome! I do too! Just subscribed to your channel. Hope you check out mine too! 👍
That van has a much bigger price tag than $50k. $120,000 and up.
Just a heads up camping gear is hard to find this year because of increased demand. Many people are out camping when they normally would go away on vacation instead. They’re pretty much viewing camping as a staycation and so people that don’t normally camp are camping this year and it all sold out very quickly. If you plan on doing any kind of camping in the future I would definitely keep your eyes peeled every time you’re in a Walmart or maybe order some and have it shipped somewhere for you to pick up. It’s gonna be hard to find in passing though.
Recently discovered your channel and loved it. Such a sweet and loving couple, always positive. I wonder if Kara is ever in a bad mood. Please connect if you ever decide to visit Tasmania in Australia:)
As a Colorado native and living in Gunnison...makes me soooo happy to watch how much you two have been enjoying this wonderful, beautiful state!!! Endless adventures!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Gunnison is beautiful!!. I went to first grade there at Blackstock elementary, idk if it’s still there, that was back in 1967/68 . I remember being fascinated by the big W on the hillside , my Dad taught at western state U for a year. I think the U has a different name now.
I’ve been back a few times, lots of cool ghost towns nearby. Such a gorgeous place but cold in the winter !!
1927su that’s awesome!! Yeah that elementary isn’t here anymore. The big W is still here though!! I’m originally from the Denver area and moved up here in 2010 for college and after graduating I didn’t want to move back to the city like most of my friends did so I stayed! Can’t imagine living anywhere else!! When I came here for college it was called Western State College then by the time I graduated it changed to Western State Colorado University and now I think it’s Western State University or something like that haha they keep changing it...some alum donated a massive amount of money to change the name again and build another building to add an engineering department/program to the school, which is cool they have that! But a bit crazy to me to keep changing the name! It sure does get cold here but I absolutely love the cold!! I can’t do the heat very well!
I've binged about 85% of all your travels during Covid (I'll be sad when I get to the last one). I really hope you guys find yourselves back on airplanes in 2021, but thank you for staying with us in your van!
I can't imagine how your calves, ankles, and feet felt after this. o_O I paddle-boarded one time and they were sore. Hah.
Those tracks and gait are far too small to be a mature mountain lion. Definitely a bobcat! How cool!
Edit: showed them to my dad. He used to be fur trapper. 100% bobcat confirmed.
The tracks belong to the large footed sand dune bunny.
That maybe a bobcat. The pad didnt look too big. I had one pop out when I was walking my dog. They locked eyes and I got super nervous. Lol
This looks like one giant sandpit... how do you stop sand from messing with your camera? I don’t think I could sleep a wink knowing there were bears and mountain lions around! But it definitely looks like a great experience
Omg that would be so scary to see cat tracks close to where you slept😬
The recaps at the beginning are always so amazing! I love how you ever so slightly change it so it’s not boring and you can basically watch any video and it seems like you’ve been with them for much longer.
Who else thinking that emergency shelter probably saved their lives? With a big cat around, that stuff terrifies cat. So Nate, maybe not so good decisions. But GOD had yalls back, like HE does all of us. 🙏🙌
From Antarctica to mountains to the seas and oceans to the van ride to the city tour to sandy plains.... They have left nothing

Awwwwwwwwwwwww
Definitely the smartest move you ever made was keeping the fish packed away to avoid smelling like a yummy snack.
I respect the many nate had to hike 🚶🏻♂️ twice to set up camra walk back down then back up for the glory and perfectness of the vlog (themennonitemom) you so right hats 👒 😉 off for nate. Nate you slay!💕🤍🖤🤍🖤💕
Like why would I even do this ? I’ll cry half way and go right back 😂😂😂
That spot at 4:08 made me wipe my iPad three times before I realized it was on your lens 😂
I hope one day I can experience even a fraction of what you guys have. You live a life I could only dream of. And believe me, I do! Love you guys! Sending love and light from Detroit, MI. 💖
This footage was so worth it. Thank you guys for making the physical journey. Great job as always!!
Not entirely sure if it wasn't a mountain lion, but I'm pretty sure that adult mountain lions have much larger tracks. It definitely could have been an adolescent but not an adult that could cause a major concern. Just my opinion
John 14:6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
