    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. :)

    Tears came to my eyes when Dusty asked for a push at the finish line so that he could finish riding on the bike instead of pushing it. Great job, everyone!

    So many things came to mind watching this:
    1. Hats of to "the Dads" on this amazing achievement. They made me both inspired & terrified at the same time coz now i want to do something like this but I'm a 100% sure that I'll wreck a million times if i go on a similar terrain knowing my track record😅. Also, love how the term dads was in the vocabulary of the adults over the course of the journey.😛
    2. Loved the choice of editing where in you cut back & forth between Nate & Urself, it's a very nice contrast of how different things are a different challenge based on what we are doing. Also i feel neither is easier than the other coz at the end of the you each had to overcome them to ensure the success of the journey. Pretty inspiring stuff.
    3. The vlog 3 was definitely the most beautiful section of the entire trail. Also, major kudos to you Kara for editing through so much of footage to give a kind of limited series worth of content. The solo editing job is no small feat, pretty much like the colorado trail.
    4. Finally, once again the whole 3 part vlogumentary was amazing & can't wait for the time for when I meet my friends & sit them down to watch this again on a giant TV, coz they will love it too & I need to watch it again on something other than my tiny phone screen.
    Thanks for this amazing content & Congrats once again to Guys on such an amazing achievement.

It was such a pleasure watching Rick encourage not only Nate and Dusty but Kara as well. Dusty did absolutely awesome, especially coming from such a low altitude. And it was so humbling seeing Nate document such raw moments. Honorable mention to Kara who took over van duties like a champ!

Kara and Nate are seriously couples goals.
