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!

Seeing Nate bring Kara her coffee will never get old. It's sweet to see everytime. You both are literal couple goals. I hope to have a relationship like this some day.
Me too! It’s so endearing to see Nate bring coffee to Kara each morning!
This... if he wanted to, HE 👏🏻 WOULD!!!
It got old with me
I do the same even though it's become a little more difficult since I lost my legs two years ago I still try :-)
My 71 year old husband makes me a cup of coffee and a huge ice water every morning! He's a treasure that has been doing this for more than 20 years!😊
Ive watched you since 2019, but the notification that Kara and Nate just posted a video will always make me happy!😍
Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaame
Same here
Dito!!!
What was the notification?!!
@@carolinenewsam9336Probably just meaning every week's video notification
We’re here in Bora Bora now staying at the Conrad (10/8 through 10/14). We told a few of the staff that our favorite KZheadrs recent video of the resort was helpful for us and they had nothing but very nice comments about how sweet you two were when you were here. Just thought you should know of their compliments. ❤
take me there haha
What can top a presidential suite in Bora Bora…..a relationship that grows and matures over time. ♥️ You two are a joy to watch no matter where u are.
Kara is genuinely an incredibly sweet, humble and appreciative woman who deserves this level of luxury. I hope every other good woman out there also gets to experience something like this at least once in her life.❤
@@DrinkWhiskeyRaiseHell Do you? No, so stop trying to make it seem like she's faking it or it's edited.
Well said. Kara is a doll and Nate's a definite keeper. Lol I'm so glad they found each other.❤❤❤❤
You’ve said it all!!
@@DrinkWhiskeyRaiseHellgood one!!
❤
Hi, I feel like your fans should also know that Bora Bora is accessible to those of us that can’t spend ALL of our $ (or points) to spend a night or two at one of those luxury hotels. I stayed at a lovely “budget” hotel called Temanuata that had walkable access to renting a boat and scooter to explore the main island if you don’t want the resort experience (where you’re frankly isolated from the locals and the true Bora Bora life). I loved every second of my experience there and would love to stay there again. It was only ~$170 per night!
Now this is the comments I like to see lol.
That’s awesome! How much were your flights and were you able to find a way to get budget flights?
You are the source of my joy, the center of my world and the whole of my heart.
@@suzanneng5326I get emails from Travelzoo and there were I think $800 flights from LAX (our main airport). So we jumped on it. That’s to Papeete, the flight from Papeete was kind of expensive for just island hopping but I don’t remember how much.
Kara, thanks for being real. As someone who struggles with mental health issues, it’s so easy to see other people’s lives and fall into the trap of believing they don’t come with their own set of struggles. This is a reminder that every way of living life can bring hard times as well as happiness :)
Counting down to my retirement from the US Army, after 20 years, to experience a bit of the freedom I have vicariously lived through you both for last five years!!! My husband and I and our 8 year old have been so inspired and are so ready to explore! Thanks Kara and Nate!
I love how, no matter where they are, (whenever humanly possible) he gets up and makes her coffee in the mornings. Even if he only does that half the time, it is epic. He is definitely a keeper, she is a lucky girl. And he is equally lucky to have a wife that is down for some of the crazy stuff.
U2 are the Perfect team! Nate skillfully wears you out 😵💫 Kara lands you in paradise. From discomfort to luxury... you bring it all to us 🐠
Yeah U2 is a great team, especially with hits like "With or Without You", "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and "Beautiful Day"!
@@user-lz5vh9bb5wthis joke sent me over the HAWKmoon.😂😂😂
@@davidleavitt835 Glad to be of service! *tips hat*
You are the source of my joy, the center of my world and the whole of my heart.
Y’all are so so deserving of these experiences! Love to follow along and be a tiny piece of what makes this possible! Never stop being amazing people the world needs more of you❤️
I love your openness about Mental Health Kara!! And it doesn’t matter what your situation is or how many opportunities you have, everyone deserves to take their health serious. That doesn’t make you ungrateful that makes you human❤️
You’re definitely a great adventure team. Nate dreams up and follows through on incredible adventures, and Kara, not only do you accept and excel at the challenges, often humbling Nate in the process, but you’re both so down-to-earth and make watching your channel a pure joy. 🥰🌌🌠
It has been an absolute joy, watching the two of you, grow! Not only your channel, but both of you. You were so young, when you started this venture, I am so happy that you have been as successful as you are! Cheers to your continued success.
This comment makes me want to watch every episode all over again lol I love you both. Your videos are my favorite ❤
Good morning from Minnesota USA! That place is on our bucket list!
What a dream vacay🐚 I’m so bummed for you guys that the weather was so gray☁️ it just means y’all will have to go back😉 Kara, you’re amazing and I so appreciate your honesty in some struggles you’ve had. Social media can be a highlight reel but I truly believe people want to be relatable to one another. Your stress and struggles are real and it probably helped others to see that in you. So thank you for your boldness and honesty💛 Nate, you’re an amazing hubby always bringing Kara her coffee and trying to win prizes for her, good job🏌️⛳️🚣♀️ I hope the bike trip is going good!! Stay you✌🏼
Coffee? Check! Kara and Nate? Check, check! Two video weekend of Kara and Nate! Doesn't get much better than this.
From 100 countries to van life now this? Go Kara and Nate! (and Mike and Megan)
Thanks Kaffeinated Kara
Love, love, love your videos! Such a joy to watch the two of you. That looks like so much fun. Keep up the good work! ❤
Thanks goes right back to you two 🥰 Love your videos and adventures. Kara's joy for the magnificent accommodation at Bora Bora reminded me of the elation I felt staying at 'The Villa' at Okonjima in Namibia. You two should totally go there.
Another great video as always! Kara, you definitely earned this luxury trip after all the survival adventures you went through! Glad you enjoyed it! Love to all! ❤
I live vicariously through Kara and Nate so much so that I've started crossing lines off my bucket list as if I've gone anywhere further than my sofa! SO sad but true😂
I’ve been following you since the beginning and I can’t believe you’ve finally come here, and missed you 😢 love your energy and you both are sure couple goals
Shave it!! For Kara! Shave it! I've seen other videos of this place it looks amazing .... one day!
I love your videos! They are so well edited! You take us to so many interesting places! You both, especially Kara, seem so joyfully with each experience without appearing smug about staying at a luxurious place like this! I guess that those survival challenges help you to appreciate the splurge experiences! I love Kara's excitement over each new experience and Nate's brilliant planning and negotiations to arrange these trips.
Just love the respect and care these two show each other Nate getting Kara coffee every morning followed by gentle morning kiss is so heart warming. These two have the perfect recipe for success in life.
Both of you guys always make me tear up each and every single video I can tell from the love and genuine love you guys have for everyone
To answer your question Kara, yes lots of people sneeze when they see strong sun rays. Look up photosterutatory reflex. Interesting quirk of the nerves. :) I have that too. Can be very annoying. :)
I have read so many negative comments about these two which i believe is unfair. These guys getting to stay at such fantastic places is no different than a company paying actors to do commercials for them. Who better in the travel youtube world than these two. their videos are so well done and show off the place they stay. I love watching these guys and we have gone to peru because of them and are going to Rome for the same reason. Keep doing what you guys do, love ya both and can't wait for the next adventure
They brag to all who watches their videos about their stay at these pricey accommodations without knowing that not everyone who watches their videos can't afford to stay in these pricey hotels/ villas etc. They do it just for more views.
They started off with cheap motels too. This is probably the first video you seen of them and are automatically jealousy without understanding them! That is a sign of a bad trait and jealousy. This is what jealous and lazy people would say. You are the type to hate others without trying to understand their situation!!!.
@@markyruiz85so basically you’re here to hate watch?
It’s so much fun watching you guys genuinely fill with joy as you experience all of the surprises and the beauty of this resort! Your energy brought massive smiles to our faces the entire video. What an incredible stay! 🥰
Many would like to be in your shoes right now. You've earned it! I can recall the beginning, when you were riding overnight buses and Nate was counting every penny. You've come a long way, and I daresay that all your viewers have enjoyed every minute of your hard work!
I always enjoy watching yall and pray yall can continue doing what you love.
Kara & nate you guys are awesome & deserve all the good things that comes your way!!
Wow, Kara and Nate, your experience at the Conrad Bora Bora Nui sounds absolutely luxurious! Staying in the Presidential Villa with its stunning features like multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, terraces, and an infinity pool must have been an unforgettable experience. The private beach, onsite restaurant, spa, and fitness center added to the overall indulgence of your stay. It's fascinating that the resort is situated on a private island, and it must have been quite an adventure taking a boat to get there. Ordering room service must have been the cherry on top of a perfect getaway. Thank you for sharing your incredible experience!
Thanks for putting a smile on my face I watch you every week keep doing what your doing thanks
I love watching this couple. I also love that they thank us subscribers. Keep rocking out
28:39
It’s such a joy to see you both, always looking forward to new videos. I’m voting yes to shaving the moustache Nate 😉
I've been meaning to try Headspace, and now is a good time for it. And I also sneeze when looking toward the sun.😊
Yes! Looking at the sun makes me sneeze too!!
We were there in February. Flew into Papeete. Took a plane the next day to Bora Bora and took a boat to Moorea and back to Papeete. It was amazing. We were in Bora Bora for 5 days and I got my open water scuba certification there. It was SPECTACULAR. When on the boat to the islands we spent a little extra to stay in the captains lounge while everyone else had to get rained on.
As someone from Finnish decent, I am so grateful that Kara properly pronounced sauna 😊 it’s sow-na not saw-na!
Omg I love you guys’ content it’s literally the best just like y’all. You are the sweetest and I want y’all to but I might be your biggest fan. Love you Kara and Nate!!!!
As an Australian, let me give you a little secret on how to eat Tim Tam's.. if you bite both ends then you can use it as a straw to suck up your tea coffee or milo through the Tim Tam, you will be in Tim Tam heaven ❤ And I love watching you both, I have been following you both since before you had 1 million subscribers. Thank you Kara and Nate for such Amazing content, I feel like I am always on holidays with you both 🥰
You guys are so much fun to watch. What a beautiful, beautiful place. Nate, that was amazing shot if only it had been 4 feet away. Beautiful, beautiful video. Thank you. 🤟🏻💜😎🐬🇺🇸
My husband and I love watching your videos together. It's a way for us to relax at the end of the day. Where's your video from your time in Sydney?!?!?! I was looking forward to it since I spent a month in Sydney during college and I wanted my husband to watch your video to maybe experience some of the things I experienced.
That suite is #goals :) I saw the bloopers at the end and just wanted to say, yes! Sneezing when looking at the sun is totally thing. It's called a photic sneeze reflex and it's genetic. Thank you for your videos. I look forward to them each week!
Im slightly emotional knowing I may never have the opportunity to do this, feel this, experience this. But last night, on a cold night, I had warm soup, my family, a nostalgic movie playing while my kids played and got along. I felt so grateful in that moment. I suppose that feeling is a lot like the feeling you had eating those truffle fries on the deck. 😊 Love watching your video ❤️
This gives me so much nostalgia! We honeymooned there, just 3 doors down from the presidential villa. Inspired by that episode of the Kardashian!! hahahaha it was so beautiful. I hope to go back one day!!
I like how they put it out there how it’s done. I appreciate that, hard work proved it works. Enjoy ir
You guys are so fun and such an inspiration to watch! Thank you for the effort you guys always put into your videos! ❤❤
Kara and Nate are couple goals,I’ve been watching you for years and everyday I wait for more of your videos to come out 💕
These are absolute PRECIOUS memories!!!! I didn’t stop smiling the whole video.
You guys are couples goals! Being a single mom of two, I’d love to have someone make me coffee just to wake me up and go to work, let alone explore a resort in Bora Bora 💕 what you guys have is so genuine and beautiful, I love it so much 🩷 gives me hope 🥰
Haha Kara makes me laugh. She’s so funny in the most adorable way!
She seems like a very KIND person too.
Loved the editing on this one and future Kara, also Keep the mo!
Kara, yes, I sneeze every time I look into a bright light or walk from the shade into the sun. 😊
i'm watching your videos from the beginning now I'm finally making a comment. You've visited more than 100 countries and i hope this journey continues forever ❤😊 This place really looks like a paradise i hope i could go there. Love from the UK 🇬🇧
Living for the happiest Kara moment at 20:31 when she hops to the stairs 😂
I love that Kara pronounces sauna the Nordic way which is the correct way….
Very nice stay, I’m sure. I always enjoy y’all’s videos. They are very comforting and interesting. Not to mention they’re inspirational. Keep up the good work ❤❤❤❤❤
Omgosh! I'm your biggest fan! Watching you all and the positivity you all bring makes my week! Recently my Dad ordered me a box of Tim Tams from Australia for my birthday! The first time I tried them! And loved them! 😊❤
YES! Lose the mustache. Not that I care really, but I'm tired of my wife complain about it!😂
Love you guys SO MUCH! Been watching for a few years and have watched EVERY video. Would love to have seen that timtam bit though! Moments like that are so special. Thanks for sharing part of your lives!
We’ve been watching you guys since Nate took a tour around the world for points and you were on a strict budget. We are so delighted to see you having such fun and so much success. Also we follow Daily Drop 🥰~Cara
You guys give me a moment of peace every upload, love y’all so much ❤️
Perfectly said!
thank you for your videos, i always look forward to them ✈️🖤
Love the adventure. Thanks for sharing. That trip is on my bucket list 👏🏽👏🏽💪🏾💪🏾👍👍❤️❤️☕️☕️☕️☕️
I've been watching you guys for 3 years and the videos keep getting better ❤
Nate- the most incredible videos are your animal encounters. They are so extraordinary and touch my soul like no other stories you tell. I can only imagine what it is like to be there.
Thank you for another wonderful video, Ryan.
Kara, you are terrific, and you should not feel stressed because you can’t entertain us, or any other personal problems. You are very kind and funny. You are a responsible person, and you should never feel stressed. You and Nate are constantly giving us entertainment and making our lives better. You are awesome, never forget that. (So are you Nate)
I love you guys so much! I will never get to do the amount of travel that y'all do, but I get to live vicariously through the two of you. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
My best friend's husband sneezes when he looks at the sun too! He loves telling people the name of the condition - Autosomal Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst.
love your videos guys
Wow the blue water!
Love y'all so much. So happy you enjoyed your time. Also, yes...ready for Nate to shave mustache 🤗
The only thing i don't LOOOVE about this channel is that i don't have a video to watch.... each day of my life!
I love Kara's energy. ❤
Why are you down playing your channel saying only 3 million. KARA! You have got almost 4,000,000 so say it like it is!!!!! after all of your hard work that it takes to run this channel you deserve everything that you guys are getting! ❤ because I am learning very quickly. It is very difficult to stay consistent and come up with ideas for a KZhead channel. PS this comment is for the people watching this video. Over 107,000 people have viewed this video yet only a little over 8500 have liked the video. What is wrong with you people!? I know it doesn’t take much effort to press the thumbs up button. Don’t you wanna see more of these great videos!?🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️😂
I'm from tahiti and I can't believe you guys we're here ❤
Amazing, looked so good, the rain didnt matter. Very jealous.
You're both so adorable and grateful!! I've been watching since 2018 and there has been only more excitement and amazement in yalls eyes since then!
god looks better than a dream 😍🥰
I never feel jealousy for you, l feel gratitude for taking us along on your wonderful journey that we can only dream of. Thank you!
A few months ago I was so sick and spent the whole night watching at least 30 of your video so safe to say I’m freaking obsessed with your channel.
Omg first! Love this!!!
If this comment gets over 50 likes Nate has to shave the moustache, cmon Nate, it’s gotta go…
Yes! I still can’t watch them much with the mustache
I like the mustache🥲🥲
@@jacobmermelstien7584you can’t watch them with the mustache? It’s that serious?😂
You need to go 😂
It feels like he is aged 10 years more.
I love you guys. Like you’re just to good at this stuff. Thanks for another great video
You are the source of my joy, the center of my world and the whole of my heart.
This video is exactly why I’m a subscriber to Kara and Nate and will always be a subscriber. The adventure, the luxury and more importantly the food. 😂 That villa is awesome too. Thank you guys for these videos so we can live vicariously through you. ❤ Oh, and Nate. I love you dude, but the 70s porn stache has got to go. 😂
12:57 i love how in almost every single video nate always wakes kara up with a kiss and fresh coffee it's honestly such couple goals ❤
Early oml
🤔......... I think you should shave your mustache😁😺😻
You guys ROCK! Bucket list for sure! Enjoy life! Safe travels!
