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! After achieving our new goal of 100 countries before 2020 and all 7 continents, we have no plans to slow down anytime soon, and we are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

Thank you 😊 You genuinely seem like such lovely people doing some amazing things. Especially impressed with how you've handled things during covid and I've actually really enjoyed the things you've put out from Stateside.

All the best from the UK 🇬🇧✌🏻

@earthestar 3 года назад

The sand dunes hold a very special place in my heart. When I was a little girl, we would go down to Alamosa which is south west where you guys were staying, and would kidnap my great grandparents go to KFC, buy a big ol bucket of chicken and go to the sand dunes and play all day long in the sand and the creek, if it was flowing above ground, lol. I miss them and the trip so much. I'm so happy y'all were having fun exploring my home state, I can't wait too see what's next on your adventures!

@shenalmanishkaphotography 3 года назад

@VikingMan222 3 года назад

Hi guys, love the channel. Those are coyote tracks, and they naturally get laid down in couplets. Coyotes are usually very shy, and this one was probably shocked once she realized you were out there. Big cat tracks are about 400% larger, laid down evenly, not paired, and are in nearly a straight line. actually, if a person looks down a line of lion tracks they will make very slight lazy "s's", often with a tail dip alternating with the stride. If you're nearRockies

One time at the Sand Dunes, I was sleeping “under the stars” (i. e. no tent) and when I woke up in the middle of the night there was the greatest meteor show, with meteor after meteor streaking across the sky every minute or so. I thought it must just be normal for the Sand Dunes because it’s so dark, but years later I realized it was probably the annual Perseids meteor shower. You were so close to the optimum Perseids date (August 12), I hope you were able to see them.

@suzi2084 4 года назад

@1927su 3 года назад

Gunnison is beautiful!!. I went to first grade there at Blackstock elementary, idk if it’s still there, that was back in 1967/68 . I remember being fascinated by the big W on the hillside , my Dad taught at western state U for a year. I think the U has a different name now. I’ve been back a few times, lots of cool ghost towns nearby. Such a gorgeous place but cold in the winter !!

@allysonporter1492 3 года назад

1927su that’s awesome!! Yeah that elementary isn’t here anymore. The big W is still here though!! I’m originally from the Denver area and moved up here in 2010 for college and after graduating I didn’t want to move back to the city like most of my friends did so I stayed! Can’t imagine living anywhere else!! When I came here for college it was called Western State College then by the time I graduated it changed to Western State Colorado University and now I think it’s Western State University or something like that haha they keep changing it...some alum donated a massive amount of money to change the name again and build another building to add an engineering department/program to the school, which is cool they have that! But a bit crazy to me to keep changing the name! It sure does get cold here but I absolutely love the cold!! I can’t do the heat very well!

Congratulations you two. My daughter and I ascend the dunes in Death Valley for entertainment, when she isn't working on her geology work. As you found out, we treat the desert with a lot of respect, and pack much the same as alpine trips. People don't understand you expel 2-3 times the effort climbing dunes. With the altitude, and temperature with the altitude gain, plus hauling a bear canister and water; you need to be prepared. Despite all the efforts, the rewards are amazing, and so worth it. Congratulations on all of your efforts, lessons learned, and learning what mother nature has to offer, and how she keeps you on your toes. Keep doing your VLOGS, and what you've both experienced together. My wife and I have been together for 50 years, and we continue to be amazed by things in our lives. Cherish your memories and experiences. Thank you for sharing your lives, and all the effort needed to share those moments.

I don't think you understand how footprints work in the sand

@jfo738 3 года назад

Those are most likely coyote tracks because they are in groups of two and are two small to be mountain lion tracks. Lion tracks index on themselves because the rear paw lands where the front paw landed.

Oh my gosh. Rain in the desert! For some reason, this reminded me of when you guys were out in Cappadocia and got caught in that rain storm while hiking and had to hide under a big rock until you could make it (and someone came driving by and rescued you). ❤️

Oh man that was a miserable day! ⛈ 🙅🏻‍♀️ your right though the feelings were very similar! I felt pretty helpless and scared both times😭

Once this pandemic is over and you can get into Canada. Come up to Alaska. Wilderness for miles. Free camping and pull offs everywhere. Perfect for van life. BC, Yukon, and Northwest Territories are amazing too. You could spend years wondering around up here.

@victoriamahon3765 4 года назад

Just a heads up camping gear is hard to find this year because of increased demand. Many people are out camping when they normally would go away on vacation instead. They’re pretty much viewing camping as a staycation and so people that don’t normally camp are camping this year and it all sold out very quickly. If you plan on doing any kind of camping in the future I would definitely keep your eyes peeled every time you’re in a Walmart or maybe order some and have it shipped somewhere for you to pick up. It’s gonna be hard to find in passing though.

Utah also has them. Little Sahara & also Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. The latter is almost 4,000 acres. Kara & Nate should pop over next door from Colorado, because Utah has amazing diversity of natural landscapes & so many national & state parks, with truly an unlimited amount of adventure opportunities! www.google.com/amp/s/www.thrillist.com/amphtml/travel/nation/best-state-parks-in-utah

We explored Great Sand Dunes National Park couple months ago! Such a beautiful park & just mind blowing that it even exists! We could NEVER hike that far in and sleep through the night though! We were dead just walking to the dunes closest to the parking lot! We loved the vlog & we're excited to be following you guys now!
