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” while planning our honeymoon & became addicted ;)
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 back home to “normal life.” We started this channel to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with living on the road and found a new passion for capturing our travels through video. So we 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!
After ~2 years of van life, we are back to full time international traveling! And now we are finding the best adventures the world has to offer :)
We are incredibly grateful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎 Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey!

As a teacher I am always looking for ways to show short videos to 'entertain" the kids. This last week we had a half day meaning I only saw each group for 23 minutes. So I showed this video to my kids, and many of them thought it was amazing that your 88 pops would go camping with you. They also loved the van. Thank you for providing kids a demonstration of normal families live without electronics

I worked a lot in highschool so i never had time for a traditional highschool social life and i worked helping my grandma on top of my other jobs abd she truly was my best friend. We lost her 11 years ago and i miss her every day. She shared so many stories and so much wisdom with me giving me a strong work ethic and made me believe i was worthy of love. This truly hit me how much i miss her. How much i wish i had her in my life still. Her sister my great aunt is 90 and still with us so i think ill give her a call and plan a visit.

When Pop said don't let other people squeeze you into their mold, the tears fell down my face. I am 74 years old and am just now really grasping how much of my life trying to be what "somebody else" thought I should be. I have in the last few weeks started to learn I just need to be me and that is so exciting.

Nate, your end of year video brought me here. Both of my grandfathers had passed on long before I was born, so I was never blessed with an opportunity like this. My father passed on when I was 19. We were very close, but not as much those last couple of years. My father-in-law passed on when our first child was only 3, long before our second child, so they really have not had their grandfathers. This is a video you should be very proud of. While thinking how much I wished I had that opportunity, or that my dad was still alive for a similar opportunity, I found myself smiling the whole time. Cherish that time. Pop is a good guy. Fantastic video.

My goodness, I am glad I'm not the only one moved to tears while watching this video. To see such a humble and wise gentleman is so special in today's world. I know there are so many out in the world, but I don't get to see many ... so this was a wonderful video. Also, I think the opportunity to spend time with one's grandpa ... kind of special for those of us who have lost our parents and grandparents. I have a "Cool stuff" folder on my youtube acct. - this video has been saved there, because I'm going to watch it again. Such a special man. Also, I heard him say "seminary professor", is your grandpa a Pastor? He certainly has the demeanor, compassion, understanding and wisdom of one. ❤❤ Nate, thank you for sharing your grandpa with us.

I felt like I could cry at any moment during this video 😢❤ my grandparents passed away when I was in my early 20s and now when I see other people’s grandparents I’m like “wow, they should cherish that.” What a special video, Kara and Nate.

I didn't expect his Kara impersonation to make me cry, but here we are 😭. He reminds me so much of what I think my grandfather would've been like if he got the chance to be that age and that healthy. We're not all dealt the same hand, but it's still amazing to see others journey and life experiences. Hug him a little tighter for all of us ❤

This video has to be included in your best Top 3 videos of all time, at least. Your Pop is such a sweetheart. Full of wisdom and humor. His Kara imitation is so hilarious. I like how he still calls the fridge "ice box". My uncle who was born in 1923 used to call the fridge that way till the day he passed. They're from the same generation :) Also, the editing of this video is excellent. Great job!

This was an amazing video and tremendously touching. While this video is a departure from your typical content, it is perhaps one of the most impactful videos you have ever made.

This just might be one of my favorite Kara & Nate videos. I wrote down so many of Pops quotes in my notebook. This could be an ongoing series that you do; “Conversations with Pop”. You both have such a responsibility with your followers to deliver a quality message. In a time where the younger generations are dismissing the wisdom and experiences of the older ones, these messages can make a truly thought provoking impact. ❤

This was the best video I have seen in a long while. Pop, you are a true gem. Nate, cherish that time with him. Kara, you too. My grandparents, grandpa just turned 94 and my Grammy turned 88 in February. Grammy just recently was diagnosed with alzheimer's and dementia. It's been hard on us, especially since my mom, their daughter passed away a year ago in October. I don't take a minute for granted with either of them. My Grammy may not always recognize me now, but she has filled my heart and childhood with wonderful memories. Just like you will have with Pop. Sorry for the ramble. This one hit me hard in the feels. Much love, Elisabeth

Not even a minute in and already crying!!!!! This is so special! It reminds me of my grandpa, who was my best friend and favorite person in the world. I think I got my sense of adventure from him, as well. We had him for 92 years, but it’s never enough time. I’m glad you took the time to take (and document) him on this trip because you’ll remember it forever. I hope that you guys make this a regular thing over the next few years while he’s still up to it. He is clearly such a special guy and so wise. Makes me want to give him the biggest hug! You are so lucky to have him as you Pop and thanks for sharing with the world ❤❤❤❤❤

I put this video in my watch later and kept skipping past it because I didn’t think I could handle my jealous of Nate getting these moments with his pops. My papaw passed in 2020. He worked until the moment he left this world and I hate I never got time with him to just relax. I’m happy to say this video may have made me miss him, but made me so thankful for the time I had.

In my humble opinion, just about the best, most important video you’ve ever made, it is one of my deep regrets that I wasn’t able to sit down with my dad and get him to tell his story on camera, but you’ve managed to do that with your grandad, well done, that is something that will remain a family treasure for generations to come

This is one of the most memorable videos you two posted. Your grandfather is a wise man willing to share his wisdom through your very good questions. Grandparent time is priceless. As a grandparent with four grandsons, I grew up not know either of my grandfathers. Knowing that I did not benefit with such wisdom, I ensure that I spend quality time with my grandsons. I echo your grandfather's answer to your question of having kids. All the best to both of you...
