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!

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

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.

I came back to this after reviewing the 2024 calendar video. I cried so much. Not because it's a sad video but because POPS reminds me so much of my dad. I lost my dad 6 yrs ago to Pulmonary Fibrosis, a disease brought on by his exposure to asbestos on the ships he served on. Not a pleasant disease. After serving 25 yrs in the Cdn Navy my dad retired to civilian life. He was an encyclopedia of knowledge and like pops was a child of the depression era. He lost uncles in WWll and he joined the forces as a young man. I miss him everyday. As do his grandkids. He was a very good grandpa. I hope you are able to have more years with your pops, to make more memories. He's a gem.

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.

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

Oh crap. I wasn't expecting to start crying at the "there's always something different about something your grandma makes". My grandma passed Feb 2021 and I miss her so much. I'm currently pregnant with a little girl and her middle name is going to be her great grandma's name.

Okay I finished the episode and I can now say without a doubt this has to be a series. I don't want to beg but I will. I wish I had Pa's advice when I was younger. Also, not that it's any of my business. BECAUSE IT"S NO ONES BUSINESS. but y'all have plenty of time to have children if that's what you want to do. No need to rush. As a mother of two young adults I can say it was the hardest thing I have ever done. It's also the best thing I have ever done. It takes sacrifice, patients, compromise, compassion, money, and a lot of time outs. I use to tell my children, "Mom needs a time out" OH and you also have to learn to be wrong. That was hard. As a 21 year old mother I grew up with my children and it was a challenge. I think being an older parent has it's blessings. More money, more life experience, more resources, ext. The bottom line is I have noticed this coming up more than once in your videos and I just wanted to send some love your way. This decision is between you both and God. There is not a wrong or right answer and either way you're both going to be okay. Much love from one of your biggest fans.

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. The relationship you have with your grandfather is inspired and this video brought a great amount of happiness to us as viewers. Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment.

Over here bawling my eyes out 😭 This is so incredibly wholesome Nate. I am a born and raised Nashville native and this reminds me so much of my grandparents. They always have amazing stories and you’re always learning from them! So incredibly sweet. These are the moments you will cherish forever!! I enjoy watching y’all’s videos so much 🩷 thank you.

So glad you were able to film this video. You are going to cherish this video forever. I lost my grandpa 2 years ago and my phone deleted the last voicemail he left me.

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.

How did I never know about this video? So happy to watch this. You are so blessed to still have your grandpa!

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 ❤❤❤❤❤

Well, the video was blurry because I teared up the entire time. So many people rush through life and don't take the time to spend quality moments with their people. In many cases, people neglect their grandparents, or see visiting them as a chore. It was so incredibly special to watch you spend time with your grandfather and have an experience filled with pure joy, and one heck of a lot of wisdom. I want to strive to continue making amazing memories with my grandparents as special as the ones you have shown here today.

Literally crying. Nate in fact is not biased. Pop is one of the best humans alive and I don’t actually know him 😭💜

Just took my 97 and 100 year old parents on a weekend trip inn the Columbia Gorge, between Oregon and Washington. Many of our stops were places that they had hiked many times in the past. Each stop brought out old memories.

This made me cry too many times, it was like getting to experience that special grandchild/grandparent relationship again after losing all of mine. Thank you for sharing pops with us Nate. I think this is one of the most touching videos you have put out. Pops is such a special man. ❤
