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 travel vlog 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 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!

@pistonburner6448 Год назад

You get used to less sunlight, though the general weather makes a huge difference as to how it feels: Above freezing and rainy = dismal Below freezing, clear day and snow on the ground = fantastic Actually even if the day isn't clear but it's snowy it's pretty nice. The biggest difference is if there's no snow, then everything is super gloomy and it feels like all the light disappears, and it's just wet all the time (even the smallest amount of moisture just refuses to evaporate). That's why being far enough up north is actually better than too far down south: more beautiful and light-filled scenery thanks to the snow. I remember once just normally having been living in darkness during the winter, and then suddenly while driving I saw the sun shining. It was only then that I realised how big a difference that thing makes, and only then did I realise how long it had been: due to not being outside during the few hours of possible sunlight and above all due to the fully cloudy&snowy weather covering it when there could've been sun I hadn't seen the sun for over 3 weeks! It felt really strange to be so bewildered by simply seeing the sun. Sunny southern places are really nice too (I live in such a place now), but people who don't get to live in the absolutely silent, acoustically soft, magical glittering world of snowy winter are also missing out on something! There's nothing like being alone in the forest (or just going out for a walk) at night in really cold snowy winter, and also sitting comfortably at home by the fire afterwards looking out into the magical winter scenery. Oh, and driving on snowy, empty country roads is absolutely the best!

I know y'all know this already - but traveling with a tiny roll of tape is such a great travel hack. To cover up annoying lights, keep drapes in place, and stick rattly overhead panels that are annoying and loud like Nate mentioned. Thanks for always taking us with you and so glad you got to finally see the Northern Lights!

hiii guys! Just wanted to let you know that "jipped" (1:08 and 9:45) comes from the word "gypsy" referring to the Roma people and is considered an ethnic slur. Better to say something like "short changed".

@BilldalSWE Год назад

"Gypsy" isn't an ethic group though. It could refer to either Romani, Pavee (Irish Travellers) or New Age travellers,

@unfoll0wme Год назад

@@BilldalSWEthose are all different ethnic groups, sure, but they are all ethnic groups. I feel like that makes it more offensive as "Gypsy" erroneously names them all. I'm not sure what you're arguing here but either way the word refers pejoratively to a group of people. The word itself isn't always a slur but in this case it is.

@ArgentinaVogue Год назад

As an Indigenous person from Canada, I’d like to give a little background about the Northern lights. The lights are ‘spirits of the ancestors celebrating life, reminding us that we are all of creation’. Very beautiful

@aaronpatterson2369 Год назад

Thats one belief...for your culture. Not everyone buys into ideals. Especially if something is experienced in more than 1 country/region. So dont limit natures beauty to cultural beliefs. Science says something completely different.

@cricketfey Год назад

@@aaronpatterson2369 Didn't realize someone sharing something from their culture meant they were trying to say that's the only thing to believe 🙄

@promealiens9659 Месяц назад

I remember that from the movie Brother Bear. The Sámi people have roughly the same view, according to old folk tales, the aurora borealis are the souls of the dead wandering in the sky, or even gods. On the other hand, in Finnish, the word "Revontulet" refers to the old belief that the Fire Fox running on the fells causes the Northern Lights by throwing sparks into the northern sky with its tail.

I expect to get push back for sharing as many folks aren’t fond of word policing, but I also believe that change only happens once we can learn harm or impact from what we say. @kara please take a moment to google the etymology of the usage of gyp to mean cheat - you might then decide to choose an alternate word or phrase moving forward. Side note, the tongue stuck to flagpole scene was filmed at my primary school in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. My grade two self was so tickled to learn the special FX tricks used (and to know there wasn’t even a flag pole in that part of the yard. I am an extra in that outdoor scene - can see me running past when the bell rings.

I love your videos! Heads up; the word “Gypped” is derogatory towards Romani people. Gypped is used as a term to describe when one has received less than they paid for. Most people do not realize it's a racist term that stems from nomadic 'gypsies' ...

@joelkalin9764 Год назад

Karas pronounciation of Kiruna was very good. Very close to how a native swede would say it. All over Karas swedish seems pretty good and the pronounciations of the buttons are super! Useless/full info to follow: Toiletpaper in sweden (and maybee everywhere) dissolves in water. Paper napkins/towels do not. It is two different kinds of paper. Flushing paper towels will clog the system. Translations of the buttons: Väckning= Wake up. Samtal önskas med = Request to speak (to) Kvittering = Check (like personel turning of the button) Tågpersonal = train personel. The radio buttons represent Swedish national radio channel 1-3 and channel 2 is dedicated to classical music. There is also channel 4 but that is dedicated to local radio stations and frequencies shift depending on where you are. Toiletpaper in sweden (and maybee everywhere) dissolves in water. Paper napkins/towels do not. It is two different kinds of paper. Flushing paper towels will clog the system. The sled thingie is called kicksled in english but simply "kick" in swedish since you propell it with a kicking motion. The older swedish term for it woult be "sparkstötting" which combines the words for kick/spark and sled/stötting, stötting being a specific kind of horse sled.

@janphillips295 Год назад

Oddly enough, I watched a doco (here in Australia) only a couple of weeks ago, on the making of this hotel. You just don’t realise the amount of work that goes into the actual building of the hotel, lighting installation etc., let alone the sculpting art for each room. The artists were given a ridiculously short time of a only a few days (can’t remember the exact number) to do their work on the bedrooms. Fascinating stuff. Hopefully this icy night was better value for money than the last one under the glacier. Both such different experiences for you both. Thanks for another great vid.

Hi Kara and Nate happy 2024. It has been a privilege to follow you through all these years and thank you for letting us know to “travel” with you. I will speak for myself to say that sometimes one video a week is difficult to keep up with, so three a week is a nice amount since if we get delayed in watching is easier to catch up. Also you have so many amazing videos that will be nice to catch up again in that “space” you created. I am fortunate to travel quite a bit, and find it difficult to keep up with instagram stories so do not know how you manage to produce such amazing videos consistently and have not yet passed out so I would say a small break is long overdue, so enjoy it.❤

The same way back to the changing room in the morning. The experience is the best! I love and miss 🇸🇪...

You guys talked about going to Japan. Soooooo looking forward to those videos. With all the crazy shit happening now all these really great travel videos a group of you are all doing in different places at the same time and posting them is the best thing ever! Thank you. :) I hope when you are in Japan you catch at least one village of people off the beaten track who are re-establishing traditional Japanese culture. There are a million ways to go with this, choose one. Love you guys. Hope Kara has gotten some sleep. Take care. :)

Can we all appreciate that they even made what they called "the least exciting part of the journey" really fun and interesting to watch. Love you guys!

Since we didn’t get any snow this winter, this winter series in Norway/Sweden has made me so happy to see the snow. I appreciate all the content for my bucket list.

My wife and I have been watching you guys for a year or so, and we don’t think your relationship has ever looked more beautiful than this video!!! Keep having fun!

Hahaha Kara is on fire 😆 I’m so happy you finally check out the Norway and Sweden thoroughly! Last time in Sweden was very short. I’m two months behind, but when you’re here I had to check the episode! However I do feel a bit ashamed for SJ night trains. They get the job done, not much more. These are supposed to be the backbone in the green movement, competing with flights under 2h. They need to step up the game without getting pricier which is hard. If you get the chance, go with “Snälltåget” instead of SJ, they have these 60 years old wagons with feeling and better restaurant. Unfortunately it to kiruna. Also “blå tåget” between Stockholm and gothburg is nice with proper dining cars and own coupes based on the same 60 year old wagons. Will be exciting to see what you’re up to next, good luck :)

Did Kara just say gypped on the window seat... as in gypsies the people lol

@MrOatmealSoap Год назад

Okay. The Kara “Strip VPN” commercial was freakin’ hilarious! I’ve followed you guys for years and I think that was probably one of the funniest, most unexpected, out of left field, silly things you have ever done on this channel. One of the things that’s nice about you two is that, while you are both attractive people, you don’t do the forced trying to be sexy YT influencer thing. That’s part of what made it so funny! Good Job!

The sledge Nate found is called a "spark" in Norwegian. It is common to use if one or two people needs to go from A to B on a snowy winter day. Spark = kick. So to move the "spark" you need to "sparke" (kick) with your foot. Fun to see your trip to Svalbard, Tromsø, Narvik🇧🇻- Stockholm.🇸🇪

As Minnesotans, we would probably be unlikely to travel to Norway in the winter (though we definitely love it during shoulder seasons!). We have enough snow and cold here. 😂 Trains are such a great way to get around!!

Wow, that ice hotel was cool! Having lived in Sweden as a child this video really brought back memories...❤ thank you Kara and Nate for sharing your incredible journey. You two are just so fun!!! Blessings and much Aloha from snowy Oregon 🙏💜🌎☮️🌎💜🙏☕️☕️

I'm half Norwegian and I really enjoyed the Norway scenery. And swimming with the orcas. Thank you! I also have seen a lot on "Kinging It".

@AndySwede58 Год назад

My journey following you around the world is soon complete. Oh. Don't worry. I will NOT stop following you. It's just that when I first pressed the sub button 7 years ago, you had left Japan and now you will soon be there again. So the circle is complete. I have, together with both my Norwegian family at that time and friends, done this Norway adventure that you did - Svalbard, northern Norway (Nordkap/Kirkenes). Summer and winter. So beautiful up there.. The only thing you did that I haven't done was the ice hotel (ok, that's Sweden 😉), because there was no hotel like that in late 70s and early 80s. But I will try to get there with my Thai family in the future.

Kara pronounces "museum" weird and she's brainwashing Nate into thinking it's right 😂 I will die on this hill

@channelthefire2745 Год назад

it also kind of reminds me on how some people in the south say "warsh" instead of "wash" :). I'm always like wheres the R in wash?

@keacyut777 Год назад

I love Norway and really lucky to have loved here for 7 years now . Nature, people and winter are just spectacular and it never stops to amaze me but boy, the dark and cold can be tough. It wears on you. The winter clothes, the shoveling and all that No wonder people in tropical countries are way happier. Sun just does amazing to the bodies .

Yaay! I'm glad you finally saw the Northern Lights! I was hoping you saw them on Svalbard, but I guess not. Haha - your room in the ice hotel. Some of the rooms were amazing - thank you so much for showing us this frozen hotel/artwork! And, the hotel room at the end..."it's not frozen and it doesn't move". LOL! I hear ya.
