On our first day back in the Philippines, we traveled to one of the lesser-known provinces to explore the second largest cave system in Asia. Now is not the time to be traveling, but it's a great time to start planning your next trip whenever it is safe to do so! So start daydreaming about when we can all travel again by following the Philippines' website and socials linked below! :)

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! So we extended our 1 year trip to now FOUR years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
I am half Filipino and haven’t been back to visit in over 25 years. So, thank you for: 1. giving me this virtual trip. 2. Being brave in your attempt at the language-I might only know the pleasantries and bad words. Lol. 3. Being a light in these tough times.
Gem E yes me too!!! I camed here in 1984 when I was 7... and in old fart now and haven’t been back since. One day I’ll visit
a
I’m half Filipino too!!!
Don't underestimate how much we'd appreciate a video on self-isolating in a Singaporean hotel room.
and why Singapore? How come they decided to self-isolate there?
Dana That might’ve been the closest or only flight from the Philippines at the time, but I’m just guessing.
@@evanacostaa you're right I realized after I watched their last video on the Philippines. then it made sense. They are back in the US now.
Ridiculous they had to self isolate
@@gabewest9359 why
I've never been there, but I'd love to go to the Philippines! SO beautiful, plus most people speak English.
Nice to hear, it's very safe in here (PH) just skip southern mindanao and you are good to go..davao in mindanao one of the safest city
@@mandy_cat2067 great!
Oh I love my home the stupid China had land on my home for minerals
not being rude here at all, all love. but when visiting a country you should attempt to learn a little of the language before hand either way! I’ve always felt “entitled” if I didn’t know some of the language and I want to comply to their culture instead of asking them to comply to mine.❤️
@@mandy_cat2067 Not being rude here but I'm from Southern mindanao what exactly do you mean by "skip southern mindanao" Do your research first and you'll shock.
stalaGmite = G for ground
stalaCtite = C for ceiling
And you'll never forget! Beautiful cave! :)
Here another one:
Stalagmite = Might make it to the top
Stalactite = It has to hang on tight
I love this!
I've always remembered it as
StalacTite: Top
StalgMite: BottoM
The M for bottom doesnt work as well as yours but I haven't forgotten it yet so it worked I guess.
StalacTITES hold title to the ceiling
Im touched how they compliment the beauty of the Philippines
And trying learn some language
America every other island has a different language, I bet it’s difficult😅
@@littlebean3695 yes. I know. Thats why I said SOME language.
I love how you respect the locals and are so kind and try to learn the language and don’t complain about anything
It‘s so beautiful:)
Cheers for pointing out your lack of travel right now and the socially responsible self quarnatine! - From healthcare workers everywhere..
John Johns You shutup
dude the first minute of the vlog was them saying that this was before and that they’re isolating from a hotel room. calm down
Cheers for pointing out you
I laughed SO MUCH at this part 5:17 when he tells you how to greet someone in Warray and it's like 10 words 😂
Maupay na pagabot
only 7 syllables! haha
Kara and Nate has never failed to make me smile😂 I love being able to virtually travel during quarantine!!! I love y’all❤️😂
I feel the same! I'm living for travel vlogs right now 😂😂
This is pretty irresponsible of them in my opinion.
i wasnt too far away from here exactly a year ago from today… want to move down in southern PH someday

@@97dsmbishi These were filmed before the pandemic.
I just traveled to the Philippine's this last summer with my school to practice nursing in the hospitals and around the community! Seriously, the most beautiful place with the greatest people - so EXTREMELY excited for this series! :-)
I'm so glad you appreciate my country! Stay safe during this pandemic :)
We Filipinos find it funny and adorable when foreigners speak our language. When we laugh it's not an insult. It's actually because we find you cute 😂
they’re literally the most wholesome people 🥺
The lights go off:
No one:
Literally not one person:
Kara: Nate's tickling me😂
Bella GB I am laughing so hard right now.
😂
@@geme5025 xD
Yes, that's so my husband and I 🤭
Nate should have said "no.. im not tickling you. im not near you... " Kara would have freaked out LOL
Karas little “wOAH!” at 8:52 sounds so cute you can tell how genuinely happy she is at that moment. you guys defenitly made this time easier to endure. thankyou ❤️
I love that moment when you get a notification for Kara and Nate!! Been re-watching all their older videos to get my fix!
Thanks for sharing!! Stuck inside all day, it's great to be reminded that there's a whole big world out there.
Love the Jesus is my Savior sticker on the one guys guitar. This looks so beautiful.
ok
Same!
You mean the “Jesus is my Savi” sticker 😉
Jesus IS my savior!!
V o. Majjkllbzekyso n
Seriously SO beautiful, I would love to go to the Philippines one day! I hope you both are staying safe :)
I recommend for you the kaparkan falls in abra and jomalig islang golden sand beach 😉
Thank you for giving PH another shot. I love you both, again.
Come Back Soon...
I am so stoked you guys are doing a series in my family's home country of the Philippines 🇵🇭. Salamat at mag-ingat kayo❤️✨
Hillary Maravilla taga Samar po kayo?
Awesome video guys. Love to see the afro pics!🧑🏻🦱 We really appreciate the escape and can’t wait to get back out traveling. Stay safe and don’t go crazy in that hotel room!
Neither can we! Hang in there guys!
Best thing ever to watch on our umpteenth day of self isolation! I hope you guys realize how much your videos mean to us minions stuck at home. Stay safe and well everyone!
My Mum is from the Philippines, we were planning to go back to her home this year but due to the circumstances we can't, it's really nice to see some of the places we might have gone.
I'm glad you are safe!
Philippines is sooo beautiful!
Who here is a Filipino Fan?! Just me?
Love you Kara and Nate!
👇 if your'e Filipino!!🇵🇭

meeee!
Meeee!!! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Dear Kara and Nate..
Greetings from India..
I subscribed to your channel around 2 weeks ago when TH-cam showed me your Antarctica video...
I have since seen all your videos one after the other...thanks to your all video playlist..god bless u for that..
I have traveled the world through your channel..and I am really surprised that you have only 1.3 million subscribers..
Wish you a 100 million subscribers..
God bless you and keep going strong..
Hi Kara and Nate. The Philippines is definitely high on our travel list! Tacloban looks like a great place for us to travel to with our young kids! ✈️ 🌏🙌
Palawan is one of the best place in the Philippines, It is called the last frontier. Hope you can visit it soon🙏
Godwin Mabini thank you for the information. I look forward to checking out Palawan! The main thing that jumps out at me is that the people of the Philippines are very friendly, and the country is incredibly beautiful. What is the best time of year to visit?
@@BagsPackedFamily thank you for recognizing our people and country. I think the best time that you can come here is Summer. From March to mid June. Gob bless🙏
Try visiting Kalanggaman Island or if you want to be just around Palawan, you can go to Balabac, it is in the southest part of Palawan and there are so many sandbars they look like Maldives’ sandbars
@@icyyau Kalanggaman Island looks stunning! Every Google image could be a postcard. Do most families hire a guide, or is it fairly easy to coordinate transportation and accommodation between the islands? I bet the food is AMAZING!
i love the rain part while they're kayaking, i miss Philippines
This was a much better “caught in the rain” scenario than what y’all had in Turkey!
Thank you for visiting the Philippines again and giving it another shot! The other islands are much better than the city. Much love to you both and stay healthy! ❤️
Love the travel vloggers, glad to see new content.
I am curious to see how self-isolating, social distancing is like in Singapore.
And all while being stuck in a hotel room.
PennQuinn yeah same. I hope they make a video about their daily life now
th-cam.com/video/77RGhMl2qRA/w-d-xo.html Plz subscribe my chnnal
We are all stuck indoors. It's really sad 😔
7 months later, we still have the virus, now in a 2nd wave of it and I am watching some of your old vids. Thank you guys for helping all of us . Watching you is as close to traveling as I can get at this time. You are a mental escape from the reality of the world.
Couple goals! ❤️ I honestly love the fact that they are perfect for each other. 👫 Greetings from The Hague, Netherlands 🥰
Filipino here and so happy to just see my country. I don't live in the Philippines and I don't speak Tagalog (though I can understand it a bit) so I'm glad to have this little virtual adventure in my country. Thank you for providing so many videos and making everyone's day better!
OMG!! I’m extremely early! I read the article about you and I am glad that you both are safe!!
👏🏻🥰❤️
Thanks for getting me out of the house for a little bit! I can’t wait to see the rest of the series. You guys are my favorite. Stay safe!
So Happy for you guys. My dream is to travel the world just like you guys! You’re are sooooo inspiring!
I agree 100%
same
Dogs and Travel is all! Our dream too 😊
We attempted to do so but did not get very lucky with the timing, can't wait to hit the road back again! Hope you guys can travel too! 🤗
Wow. “Before” feels like such a long time ago. That’s for the escapism, and stay as safe as you can.
every body is talking about quarantine and lockdown
but know one is taking qbout how beautifull is Phillipines
@kara and nate love you guys
Thank you guys for 70 like 😁
@@Boarchy same herw
Here is 76 and agreed, we need more positive content now more than ever!
@@Boarchy no you don't . If they are caught out past curfew they have permission to shoot to kill .
Are you kidding? This is highly irresponsible of them!
@@keeleycooper7296 only if she is a communist, causing trouble during this quarantine period or putting the peacekeeper-frontliner's life in danger. Please look beyond the headlines or the soundbites. Listen to the whole speech and find someone to translate for you if you don't understand the language. But do not be irresponsible this way.
Thank you for giving the Philippines (my beloved country) a chance. Love you both and please take care!!!
xoxo all the way from Malaysia!!
I was just one TH-cam yesterday longing to see what adventure yall would go on next. The caves were awesome! Stay safe out out there.
I seriously wanna travel the world when I’m older so definitely teach me ur ways
Thank you for visiting our Beautiful Country Philippines!☺️😘
Been watching your vlog since January.
Can we all just acknowledge how much better Kara makes these videos. Her laugh is contagious and her genuine personality really makes you just love her immediately... I’ve said it a hundred times , she is a beautiful soul! Thanks for the video. Y’all brightened my day😊
Thanks to people like you, in times like this the world has a place to go to be uplifted. Even though you are in Singapore in self isolation.... when you introduced the video you were still with an upbeat message.... it is much appreciated by all.... thankyou so much for the content. I love this channel, as do many others.... be well and safe all.
What a positive and nice note, hope we can all get to travel again! 🤗
I’ve been waiting for this Philippines redemption video since I came across your channel two months ago and I was really entertained, but I was disappointed with your first Philippines trip, and I was hoping that someone will reach out to you guys to redeem the Philippines. And from this first part it seemed like they did. Thank you for posting great travel videos for us who cannot travel as much. Great job guys keep the videos coming! 😊
LOOKS AMAZING, I NEED TO GO THERE TO GET MY PSORIASIS UNDER CONTROL
It's not until about half way through these videos where I notice I'm just smiling so much watching them
I love you guys so much! During all this I’ve been going back to watch your earlier videos just to feel like there is still excitement out there haha
Awwww I’m glad we could help entertain yiu😁😁
I am a Tourism Management student here in the Philippines, and I can say that your vlogs are one of the BEST that I’ve ever seen from a foreign tourist here in our country 💖 MABUHAY AT MARAMING SALAMAT 💖
YAY! I miss traveling and these vlogs bring me so much joy
SO DO WE! I’m glad we can help😁
I’m Filipinas and speak Tagalog and I’m oblivious to waray dialect.
Imagine doing this adventure with your special someone this is unforgettable memory!!!
That’s a cool cave. Reminds me of the Crystal Cave I visited as a kid in PA. The nature is another reason to love the Philippines
I've been to crystal cave too!
I've seen you here and on swiss 001 hm
Avery the Cuban-American I live not too far from Crystal Cave in Pa.
Kara and Nate are inspiration to all of us around the world. Greetings from the USA.
Question: How many countries have you guys been to?
Kara and Nate: *yes*
kara and nate are the perfect people to be with in an adventure...oozing with good vibes!
i’m so excited that you posted!!!! i have been waiting and checking every morning! glad that you guys are safe
You two are by far the best foreigners to conduct videos of the Philippines. You confidently express how you really feel about our country. You try to speak our language and taste our food with dignity while others present it in a pseudo manner. Thank you both.
Goosebump indeed, when you Kayaking on the river in Samar.
I loved that Kara jumps into the water and THEN asks if there are any animals in the water to beware of. She is not only beautiful but fearless. Plus you guys must have cast iron stomachs. If I tried to eat half of what you do, I’d be sick for days. Stay safe,; stay healthy.
Thanks Kara and Nate for the uploading. Y'all's videos bring us so much joy. Everyone stay safe out there!!!
WE LOVE YALL 💞 Hope you’re doing well!!! I was just talking to Jeff about how fun it’d be if we were all stuck on the Irrawaddy Explorer together playing trivia and singing karaoke 😉
@@KaraandNate That would be so much fun. I'm gonna go find my longyi, make some tea leaf salad and sing some quarantine karaoke. You can't spell karaoke without Kara.
ArcesAdventures hahaha YES brilliant!!!
K & N - My husband and I (same ages as you 2) have been watching you since the VERY beginning. We love every single video & get excited whenever a new one comes out. We too love to travel & have gone to a few places just because of you two. We just wanted to say hello, for the first time, and let you know we are happy you're healthy & safe. Keep absolutely killing it with the videos & being the most authentic versions of yourselves
Awwww thanks for all the support guys!!!🥰
This travel Vlog is so beautiful
That Greenery🌳, Nature 🌴, Nature Sounds, Beautiful Sceneries with rainfall⛈️, it's like living a dream.
Even my dream is to travel such places, Experience such things, Feel that Vibes., Such destinations r really a feel good things.
& Your Videos are really Good & have an cinematic feeling.
I am so glad we still have these to look forward to! Today was the worst day...but your video just made it a little bit better. Thank you. Signed, Tired, work-from-home mama of 5 (now schooling at home)
Welcome back to the Philippines Kara and Nate!!! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 Try to visit another places in the Philippines too, there is much more to offer and for sure you guys would really enjoy!
Filipino fan here 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
A note for Kara and Nate: over quarantine have been bingeing your vids, you have made my and so many other quarantines so much better and I want y’all to know that I appreciate you so much
EVERYTIME I WACH A KARA AND NATE VIDEO I FEEL I AM ACTUALLY TRAVALING. You guys are sooo fun❤️❤️
💓💓💓
They let us do.. And they have the widest range of crazy places nasty places.. Keep safe guys. We need more of all these for the next 30 years..
Thanks for keeping the videos coming in. It’s miserable times, but this virus won’t be forever and it’ll die out in a few months or next year. Your videos takes our mind off it and also encourages to plan my next trip
Thanks so much for this wonderful mood enhancing vlog! Just what the doctor ordered to make us feel better! You have certainly shown some beautiful parts of the Philippines. Looking forward to your upcoming programs. Take care and stay safe in sensational Singapore! ♥️🙏🏽🌎
One of the best things about travelling is being caught in the rain when its warm. Being from the UK, this is such a treat. Another great vlog folks, we're social distancing too, before hopefully getting back on the road when it's safe. Thanks!
I remember when you were on like 100k and now you are over 1 million! Over this time the videos have gottten so much better( no offense ) and I love seeing how Nates Tennessee accent has disappeared🤣
Also stay safe!
No offense taken - we will be the first to tell you how hilariously bad we were in the beginning! 😂😂😂 But thank you ❤️ We are super thankful for the growth and where it’s taken us! And for loosing the accent! 😉
Jacob Smith I was going to say I felt like I was going to fall into the water with them...that 4k is amazing!!! Thank you Nate & Kara! Next will be your own shows!
Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby...the realness of the "older" vids hooked me....hopin' you keep it real!! (Btw this is my first TH-cam comment ever).
I found your vlog about 3 months ago and have been binge watching from the beginning. As someone that travels to Asia a third of the year for business. While sitting at home, your videos allow me to relive the reasons why I love traveling so much. Your story has inspired me to log my own experiences from the business perspective. Will not be as interesting as yours, but I think important so I can look back on my experiences as well as show my friends and family. I hope that this subsides and we can all start traveling again. I miss airports, planes, especially lounges, the people and the local food! Cheers!
I think this is my favorite trip yet !💜
Yay! Thanks for posting content! My 2yr old piper & I love watching your videos and it was such a sweet escape ‘traveling’ with you this morning! 💜
YES!!! So excited for this series! The Philippines are high on my wish list!
I'm so happy for a new video. I've been going through K+N withdrawals. I'm about ready to start rewatching all your videos from the beginning again. Stay safe and be well!
Doesn’t sound like a terrible idea! 😉
thank god kara and nate for bringing this video
I was getting really bored in this quarentine
Love you guys
Stay safe! Better times will come again
@@VanTasticTraveling finger crossed
Just hoping and praying this pandemic gets ended
Saying hi from the Philippines👋., As we Filipinos always say “It’s more fun in the Philippines”. 😊., “Salamat” for visiting our country.
At 10:47, you know you're in for a treat when Kara's eating and starts to say "It's like..." Whatever comes out of her mouth next is always perfect. 😊
Thank you for visiting Philippines again...a lot of vloggers came here to visit and they settled here already because they love our culture and people
Welcome to the Philippines! and oh, You’re in my province too! ❤️
I'm glad your doing this. When this is over, people like you will be needed to help those countries get back on their feet. True ambassadors.
Y’all are my favorite youtubers ever🥰🥰
So happy you guys are still posting "new" content. It really helps at keeping us entertained and providing a sense of normal. I'm also curious if you're planning on making a video regarding your current situation. Being in a foreign country during this pandemic. Being in quarantine over there and everything that goes along with it. How do you fill the days. Food, shopping, work, hotel and how is the country you're in dealing with this from an outsider point of view. Anyways...looking forward to new stuff and be safe and healthy.
am I the only one that is always watching this ?? :-)
also you literally got 0.6 million subscribers in the last month !!
I miss Philippines... I was suppose to head back this year but it got canceled due to the Pandemic... Thanks for the video! I can’t wait to go back! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow, that's so magical!! I hope to go there someday!! :)
ive been following you guys and it feel so warm that you have visited our country again and gave it another chance. 😊😊 hope you enjoyed it.
Oh my god!!!Nate you rock the Afro!! You guys make me laugh. So happy to see you safe!! Love you!
I’m so happy you returned to the Philippines. I felt so bad and sad your first experience in 2016 was not a good one in my homeland. Thank you for giving your travels a second chance.
*Who wants to see Nate again with the Afro hair* ⁉️
Ha I do
Y'all need your own television show ! I'd watch it repeatedly !
Your journey is an inspiring one❤🌟
This redemption is really a redemption ♥️ never would've thought that you'd enjoy the natures of the Philippines, especially that I've been watching you guys from the very beginning of your journey♥️
Kara: That has sooo many syllables! I cracked up!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! So much needed this right now.
love watching all of your vids couple, from the philippines here.
I am almost finished watching all your videos from beginning to now! I'm glad y'all are safe! Your videos make my little place feel big❤
as a filipino, i found kara’s pronunciation of some words really funny
Tacloban was one of the provinces in the Philippines that hit by the typhoon Yolanda back in 2013. And now, the beauty of it was sooo good. I'm a proud filipina, very proud.
