Nate, don't dunk on your early videos. They remain your most authentic and interesting and gave you the core fan base that's stuck with you for eight years.
Eh, not trust fund kids, but they clearly come from fortunate circumstances, and I don't think they could have pulled off their first few years without some support.
Fr 🤣🤣🤣 I dont consider myself original OG…. But anyone before COVId should know they are not wealthy people…. Even if you are new just watch original videos 🤣🤣
Now not saying this because they’re flying business class right now, but they genuinely earned and deserve every penny They’ve made off this channel. Even if they’re not broke back Packers anymore they’re not in trying to pretend like they’re people who they’re not. They are still their amazing selves and they have genuinely become the best version of themselves.
What I really love about you two, after watching for a few years now, is that you're never trying to be people you're not. Kara enunciating French words - priceless! Kara not editing Nate pronouncing canapes in an earlier video- priceless! Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground, and you'll have friends for life.
Just something that I think should be noted. If you read the commentary from last week’s running with Russ Cook video, you’ll notice that the Russ fans new to Kara and Nate all focused on two things. 1. How unbelievably supportive Kara is of Nate. 2. How Kara and Nate selflessly focused their show on Russ and not themselves. I wouldn’t expect anything less from these awesome two!!❤
@@DannySmith98awhy does there always have to be a negative Nellie out there. Just enjoy and stop trying to dig dirt. These two found a lifestyle they enjoy and WORKED hard to make a career. You know, that 4 letter word WORK. Go back through the early videos and see how they worked their way up.
I was as awestruck as you two when I flew on the amazing Qatar Q suites. I was so pampered throughout the flight. After having too much champagne and great food, I declined breakfast, and before I knew it, a trained EMT crew member was checking on me, asking if I needed any medical assistance, etc. This was my best business class experience ever... And not to mention the business class lounge at Doha. Showers. Food, free wi fi, and more pampering... Greatest travel experience. ever!!!
Love the small flashbacks of you guys on your first business class flight vs today- the excitement and obvious sense of gratitude is so refreshing to see. A lot of RUclipsrs say they’re grateful for the fancy, expensive things they have or what they get to do, but I can genuinely see how appreciative you two are. Keep doing what you’re doing, the OGs love you!! 🤍
Hi Kara and Nate ~ I live in England - I live in a rehabilitation centre as I suffer with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis and lupus. I’m either bedbound or wheelchair bound - I absolutely love your channel and all of its content and I can only dream about the places that you have visited - I haven’t watched this vlog/video yet but I wanted to come in and say hello - thank you for all your hard work and putting up these Vlog/videos- sending loads of love and loads of hugs to you both ~ Xxx Xxx
Hi Louise, I'm glad you are enjoying them. I won't be flying for awhile. Serious health issue last year, but the joy and laughter of both Kara and Nate makes me smile. Stay strong Louise. Love from Australia 😊😊
As I look forward to Kara and Nate vlogs every week, I think how can you not love these two young people. They’re authentic, humble, funny and their love for each other is amazing. Plus they take all of us into their lives unselfishly. Watching these two puts me in a happy place. Then I read the negative comments and soon realize, some folks will always find negative in everything, shame on them. Good job K&N, continue being who you are.
I'd say Nate should take it as a compliment that people are saying you two are trust fund kids. It shows that he's been playing the miles and points game very well over the years.
@@mountainkaththe amount of money they make from RUclips does not apply to their first like 3-4 years of travel because they did not have the same sponsorship or RUclips income remotely. They worked up to this.
@@mountainkathI would have to agree with the you. Playing with miles is not easy and takes time BUT it cannot fund them unless they actually use their credit cards often and that all comes from YT revenue/sponsors. Not sure how that takes anything away from them though. They clearly worked hard to get the views/subs/sponsors.
Anyone who has watched you for years knows you both have old-fashioned values. You started this channel from scratch & look where your hard work has taken you!!!! ❤🎉😊
Would recommend watching from the beginning. I’ve gone back and rewatched multiple times. I won’t be traveling the world myself so I love living vicariously lol
When I first found this channel 3/4ths the way through 100 countries, I went to the beginning to see how it all started. The funny thing about that is astonishing. Go back and watch everyone's first year vlogs, and the same trend will be presented. Camera shy, not sure what to say, someone isn't really into it, you get the point! To the neigh sayers out there, I say one thing: 3.8 million followers!! Not Trust Fund Babies!! Hard work, dedication, and knowing what the audience likes to see. I feel for most travel couples and or vloggers, it is travel days and eating! The rest while still epic and amazing it is also the personality that keeps them going! Kara, Nate, keep doing what you are doing!!
We found you all very early in your journey and we love those old, "unpolished" videos. Kara's sincerity has been huge with our family. Nate's adventure is inspirational. Where Nate defines so much of what you two do, Kara's personality was the key to how you did the travel for all your episodes. Her enthusiasm for the people and the culture, especially the food, has been a hallmark of your videos. It has been fun to see how Nate has opened up more over the last eight years. Love watching you two.
I started watching when they were posting those Everest videos, and I agree, the unpolished vlogs were great. It gave you a true sense of place and travel adventure. I like how they have evolved, but I love how they started.
Kara and Nate are a breath of fresh air in the RUclips travel vlogging community, and their authenticity shines through in every video they create. As someone who has watched them grow from their early days, I can't help but appreciate how down-to-earth they remain despite their massive success. One of the most remarkable things about Kara and Nate is how genuine they are in their interactions with each other, the places they visit, and their audience. There’s no pretense in their videos-what you see is what you get. Whether they’re marveling at a stunning natural landscape, struggling with a language barrier, or figuring out a less-than-glamorous travel situation, they let us in on the full experience. This transparency is rare in the age of social media, where everything is often filtered and curated to perfection. Kara and Nate, on the other hand, embrace the imperfections and show that travel isn't always picture-perfect. It’s these candid moments, like when they laugh at their own mistakes or share their honest feelings about a destination, that make them so relatable and endearing.
My husband and I have been very blessed to travel using points. What most people don’t understand is how much work my husband had to do to earn all the points. These points were not just handed to him and we think of them as cash. He spends countless hours planning our vacations, sometimes a year in advance to get the plane and/or flight we want. He was so motivated by this video that he’s on his computer right now.
@@dreamthedream8929 I was curious why you asked, as the way it was worded seems to assume they have anxiety, and I could not see anything in the original comment that suggested that. For me, I have never had anxiety of any kind so it's not anything to overcome.
@@eljj7968 because that is an obvious first thought or connection for so many people when someone mentiones getting on the plane. As you know there are so many nervous flyers out there and many of them do what they can to avoid flying at all. However many also need to fly a lot for work or what not like this person here and everytime they are feeling very bad. So the question is how do they manage it, have they found any ways. But what about you in turbulence? At least during that part do you get anxious? What's the worst you've had?
I found your channel during Covid, beginning with watching the train journey through Russia followed by watching your base camp trek. Then watched everything since. Your channel introduced me to travel RUclipsrs/bloggers and it’s still one of my favourites. I love your guys continued enthusiasm, openness and appreciation for the experiences you have (ps loved the Maccas video!)
Kara thinking eau de toilette is poo spray - is one of the big signs these two aren’t trust fund kids 😂😂😂 And, Nate, I agree…I absolutely love settling in to a long haul flight and not having connectivity (I purposely won’t connect even if I have it) - it’s the place I can most relax.
I would like to say a huge thank you to both of you. A little back story; I am quite scared of flying and did not step foot on a plane for 10 years. I live on the island nation of Barbados, so getting off is either by boat or plane, so it was an issue. I entered into therapy for my phobia and 6 years ago I stepped back on a plane to attend my daughter’s graduation in Canada. I started watching your channel and between your love of travel and your awesome videos, and therapy, I started flying again. I flew to the UK last year for the first time in 30 years! And am going back in June as my daughter is there studying now. So all this to say.PLEASE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU’RE DOING AS YOU ARE MASSIVE INSPIRATIONS. Lots of love to you both from this island girl. Xoxoxo
I'm the ultimate travel princess thanks to my husband, he manages all of our points. Thanks to him we've gotten really nice hotels, almost free flights, AND Disney tickets. Whenever he watches these with me, he loves Nate :)
Even us actual TF babies still love free stuff... I learned a good phrase from my bf a long time ago "if it's free, it's for me" And let me just say, not all TF babies are entitled brats. A lot of us still know the value of a dollar and we still work for a living...
It's really a shame that people assume that they are "trust fund kids". lol... they clearly are newbies and know NOTHING about where you come from. I'm personally SO proud of all of your success. You've earned it all, and don't ever let anyone tell you different! You guys are still keeping it real, and let me tell you.. I'm here since about 40K subscribers for YOU guys as humans MORE than the content. I think you are both fantastic people, my "internet friends", if you will, and every adventure you go on feels like I'm right there along with you. LOVE you guys so much!! ❤
Not only have you two earned your current station in life, fortunately, you brought the rest of us along for the ride. Just go back and watch some of their earlier videos. They’re the real deal. Nate’s quest for the ultimate adventure, coupled with Kara’s ability to not only meet, but exceed the challenges, and let’s face it, some of these adventures simply are not for the faint of heart, equals success, American style. Fast forward to 2024 and the questions still remain, what adventure will they embark on next, and where will they caviar next? Stay humble and kind. 🥰💪✌🌠
The talent you guys have to be able to make a 27 minute video about flying on an airplane is amazing. I think if I have made this video it would’ve been five minutes long and I was entertaining the entire time. Kudos.
OMG Kara and Nate’s channel has grown so much over the years. It feels like they were just in their van traveling across the fifty states. Now they are living the dream, THRIVING as always. SO GREAT TO SEE! ❤❤❤
I've been following since the beginning and I still go back and re-watch from the beginning. Watching you guys grow has been such a journey and one that I am super happy you shared with us. Not one video is awful!
"Is a rough life." You guys have to remember to record all the time (boarding, serving meals, showing the bathroom, etc), try to tell everything in a story (smiling), not count answer comments, e-mails and manage teams (this channel, fare drop, daily drop, and other businesses). First class, nice hotels, and stuff are more than deserved. If it was me, I would just enjoy the trip and just remember to take pictures to show friends and family haha.
Loved watching this video after just flying business class on Qatar Airways this past week. Everything about this video is a great representation of the experience. Going to be hard to top this experience on any future flight. Everything that comes with this ticket is worth the cost/points. My favorite part was being able to take a shower during my long layover. Totally worth it.
I'm sorry but I laughed when I saw that people thought you were living off a trust fund! I mean have they not seen your earliest videos?? 😂😅 What a bunch of nerds! Ya NO! They are just jealous of Nates prowess for beating the miles system!! I mean who wouldn't be! I love that you guys actually share all of this with us, your so real, I appreciate that! Thank you for sharing all your good, bad and ugly adventures with us, it's very interesting & inspiring!! ❤❤❤
I started watching "From the beginning" in October when I got covid and am now just finishing up. I admit, I watched your most recent video when I saw that Kara was dx with epilepsy and am now going back to finish the rest, starting with this one. I'm so thankful for being able to live vicariously through you even in the scary times. I've been chronically ill for seven years and probably will be for life, but your videos help me keep a positive attitude and even have given me some of my own bucket list ideas for things I want to do. I can't even begin to thank you for letting me into your lives whether you are having a good or bad day.
Been watching you guys since the beginning of the pandemic along with a number of other vloggers, and while I no longer watch most of them, you two I watch every flim. I love the passion you both have for what you've been doing these last 8 years. Kara is as beautiful inside as she is on the outside. And Nate there's nothing you won't try once. Keep it up guys!
As fellow travel RUclipsrs, we really appreciate the high quality of your videos. We're currently on a nine-month world cruise and understand the challenges of recording, editing, and posting content on the go. We started our RUclips journey after retirement, and we're old enough to be your parents! Keep your content authentic and enjoy the adventure.
I found myself smiling throughout the entire video…literally just sipping my oat cappuccino, eating my chocolate chip brioche I get every Sunday morning from the little French bakery down the street here in the West Village and smiling like we are good longtime friends and I’m catching up on your latest adventures. You are both so sweet and bring joy, kindness and goodness to all of us who follow your epic journeys….uts such a time of doom and gloom and uncertainty in the world and I just wanted to say….as always….thanks for showing and sharing the goodness in you both as well as in the world. @karaandnate
Dammit this is a helluva introduction Nate. I really haven't been following you all since the very, very beginning but hearing that story and the humble beginnings I hope inspires more people to chase their dreams.
Reading through these comments makes me realize why people stop producing great you tube vlogs! Come on! Kara and Nate are good, honest, hard working, caring, selfless people! Let’s try to practice more kindness and not be so darn rude❤️
Love your throwback to the Everest Base Camp series! I actually *just* watched all those in prep for an EBC trek. They’re so good and still helpful (and inspirational!) ❤️ Loved when Cara relaxed in the business class pajamas in the airports all the way home afterwards!!! Thank you 😊
Omg I faced that way when I was in business class with my sister, I think I was in the exact same seats just in 7 or 8 row. It was so fun I loved every 7 hours of it. Glad you enjoyed!!!
Love you guys. It really so much fun to see your genuine excitement in first class and business class. You are truly living your best life and adventures.
The ground experience you recieved in Doha is similar to what most First Class passengers recieve. They get access to the same lounge and same First Class bus. They don't get the person waiting for them at the plane with thier name and an escort (that was because Qatar knew you were coming). Also, you have to request the bedrooms in the First Class lounge, because there are only 6-8 of them, there is often a wait during peak times. Y'all got VIP status with those rooms already reserved :) Also, the cardboard box amenity kit is standard on Qatar Airways flights not departing from Doha. The flights departing from Doha recieve the traditional style amenity kits. I visited the Al Safwa First Class lounge back in December, and I intentionally booked a 21 hour layover there to fully experience it. It was incredible!
Thank you for this episode! You have NO IDEA how much I enjoyed the memories! Qatar Airlines' Business class' staff are truly caring and the entire experience is ABSOLUTELY wonderFull! 15+ hour flights to and from the middle of the Indian Ocean, those Q Suites are so sublime! (Not to mention all you can stand to eat!)
Awesome video as always Kara and Nate. When Nate was talking about the early days of y’all’s journey I immediately when back to when y’all were in Hong Kong and y’all were in front of the big ferris wheel and Kara said are we going to ride it and Nate no it’s to expensive we’re just stand here and look at it.
Does someone else miss the old content videos?? I binge on the OG channel all the time. So much more rich and interesting to wastch. Lately, videos just look like a commercial...
No I'm just happy to see them doing their thing. I watch mostly for their personalities as humans than where they go and what they do. They've really earned their success, and I'm glad to see them enjoy the fruits of their labor. I've been watching since about 40K subscribers so I've been here for all of it.
7 months ago I had surgery. The thing that I watched while recovering I watched all the Kara and Nate videos that I have missed, which was a lot. I had started watching from the beginning pre surgery so I didn't need to watch all of them. I still got to watch a lot of previous videos but I still feel that I have a video or two that I haven't seen.
You inspired my daughter and daughter-in-law to save their money and start travel vlogging. It's really interesting seeing them go to some of the places you've gone.
Kara and Nate are my favorite travel buddies around the world! I love the Vannah White tours of everything from Kara in each video 😂😂 I've been here since the beginning and still love watching every week ❤Ya'll are doing a great job with the videos ❤
Experiencing 15 hours in the world's best business class through your video was truly a delight! From the luxurious amenities to the impeccable service, every aspect of your journey showcased the epitome of travel comfort and sophistication. The spacious seating, gourmet meals, and personalized attention created an unparalleled experience that's sure to make any long-haul flight feel like a breeze. Thanks for taking us along on this extraordinary journey - it's certainly set the bar high for future travels! ✈🌟
As someone who’s been following this channel for well over a year now, it frustrates me to hear people are calling these two beauties trust funders. Clearly, you’re just commenting on the first video you saw and barely paid any attention, because these two are the furthest thing from trust fund babies. They’re the sweetest, most humble human beings who have both worked very hard to get to this luxury they can enjoy and that they’ve earned. BE GONE NEGATIVE NELLIES!
Agree. I've watched since the beginning and the worked their way up the ladder to be able to do what they do today. I know we see them living their best life. But they have also had to sacrifice a lot to do this. And in the beginning it definately wasn't always living their best life, just figuring out how to. And they did. :) I say good for them.
My family of four flew in Qsuites last year, including seats 1E and 1F. These two seats have less storage space on the sides because the aisle widens slightly for the restroom entryway. 2E and 2F (seats not together) had a little "bench space" where I could sit my backpack. Being able to fly together in a pod as a family of four was amazing!
One of y’all’s Dad was my small group leader back in middle school at long hollow church in Hendersonville Tn! That’s how i found out about yall! I’m now in college! It’s always nice to relax and watch y’all!
You two are always so exciting to watch. Thank you Nate and Kara for allowing us to tag along on your fabulous trips. Absolutely cannot wait for your next series of videos!
I know you're not trust fund babies because I've watched all your stuff. I may have discovered you in 2020, but I went back to watch them all. That said, I don't want to offend you, but ... I actually enjoyed those videos more. It seems now that all the videos are extreme physical challenges or high-priced trips/stays. Personally, I think y'all were happier back then trying to squeeze all the fun out of your limited funds.
Qsuites are amazing. Wife and I were fortunate to use our points for AKL to LHR via DOH last December (80K Avios each). Attendants could not do more, great experience. I've now booked LAX to DEL via DOH in the New Year. Love you videos.
We flew Qsuites when we went to Australia in Dec 2022. Our PJ's we not as nice as yours as they were for the FIFA world cup and looked like sports shirts. Our seats didn't go completly flat, did yours? Also the devider between our seat was stuck half way up and just wouldn't budge. Not a big deal the food service and service more than made up for it. So glad you enjoyed it.
I started watching you guys about 6-8 months ago and I just want to say thank you for sharing your experiences this way and being such amazing, sweet and open humans! Also you guys remind me of my boyfriend and I cause we hate being apart from each other and I see the same in you guys
I’ve not been with you 8 years but I’ve been with you since the start of your van life journey and I love your videos; I also started watching your old videos and I don’t think I’ve missed 1 video now! I reload my RUclips hoping for another video every week🫶🏻

I hope the new management of Qatar Airways were nice with you in making this video. Heard a lot of stories. Enjoy traveling!
Nate, don't dunk on your early videos. They remain your most authentic and interesting and gave you the core fan base that's stuck with you for eight years.
Why does an adult enjoying a beverage bother you? He's not forcing it down your throat. Enjoy the entertainment.
Just shouldn’t be dunking on the old videos because he wouldn’t be enjoying his beverage in Qatar without those existing
He said dunk😂😂 and was referring to him downplaying his old videos. Had nothing to do with drinking😂
@@thedisneygeek7931 it was actually him teaching himself how to use miles and points that got him into Qatar as stated in the begining
I love the old videos! I also love the new ones! Y'all are just one of my favorite channels period.
You don't need to justify your success, mate. You worked for this and you deserve every moment of it. Enjoy.
Whoever is saying y’all are trust fund kids, definitely aren’t OGs here 😂
Eh, not trust fund kids, but they clearly come from fortunate circumstances, and I don't think they could have pulled off their first few years without some support.
@Dillon6191 DEFINITELY NOT 😂😂😂
Period
Fr 🤣🤣🤣
I dont consider myself original OG…. But anyone before COVId should know they are not wealthy people….
Even if you are new just watch original videos 🤣🤣
For real. Nate even lined out how they first started traveling and people’s comprehension skills are low 😂
Now not saying this because they’re flying business class right now, but they genuinely earned and deserve every penny They’ve made off this channel. Even if they’re not broke back Packers anymore they’re not in trying to pretend like they’re people who they’re not. They are still their amazing selves and they have genuinely become the best version of themselves.
They never were broke, but yeah

@Kara- I love how relatable you are. "2016 me would be freaking out. 2024 me is freaking out". My favorite line in the entire video.
Nah, my favorite line was, "Look at all these buttons! And I pushed them all!" 😂😂😂

@@DannySmith98a They got paid when doing their job whilst promoting something positive?! The liberties, am I right?!😶🌫
Some day I will be as excited to be on a plane as Kara! Look forward to your videos.
@@DannySmith98aI’m pretty sure they said they were donating a large sum of money to him, why do you care?
I was as awestruck as you two when I flew on the amazing Qatar Q suites.
I was so pampered throughout the flight. After having too much champagne and great food, I declined breakfast, and before I knew it, a trained EMT crew member was checking on me, asking if I needed any medical assistance, etc.
This was my best business class experience ever...
And not to mention the business class lounge at Doha. Showers. Food, free wi fi, and more pampering...
Greatest travel experience.

What most people don’t understand is how much work my husband had to do to earn all the points.
These points were not just handed to him and we think of them as cash.
He spends countless hours planning our vacations, sometimes a year in advance to get the plane and/or flight we want.
He was so motivated by this video that he’s on his computer right now.
So how do you deal with flight anxiety then if you fly so frequently? Xanax? Alcohol? Other sleep or relax medicine?
@@dreamthedream8929 Not everyone has anxiety flying?? I fly a lot and can't say it's ever made me anxious or that I would need to 'take' anything.
@@eljj7968 we don't know about her, that's why i asked. Let see what she says. But you don't have? Or did you have and overcame it? If yes then how?
@@dreamthedream8929 I was curious why you asked, as the way it was worded seems to assume they have anxiety, and I could not see anything in the original comment that suggested that. For me, I have never had anxiety of any kind so it's not anything to overcome.
@@eljj7968 because that is an obvious first thought or connection for so many people when someone mentiones getting on the plane. As you know there are so many nervous flyers out there and many of them do what they can to avoid flying at all. However many also need to fly a lot for work or what not like this person here and everytime they are feeling very bad. So the question is how do they manage it, have they found any ways. But what about you in turbulence? At least during that part do you get anxious? What's the worst you've had?
I found your channel during Covid, beginning with watching the train journey through Russia followed by watching your base camp trek. Then watched everything since. Your channel introduced me to travel RUclipsrs/bloggers and it’s still one of my favourites. I love your guys continued enthusiasm, openness and appreciation for the experiences you have (ps loved the Maccas video!)
Kara thinking eau de toilette is poo spray - is one of the big signs these two aren’t trust fund kids 😂😂😂 And, Nate, I agree…I absolutely love settling in to a long haul flight and not having connectivity (I purposely won’t connect even if I have it) - it’s the place I can most relax.
That and the fact that she seemed to have no idea what Diptyque was hahaha, definitely not people who grew up super privileged.
I'm going to add to Nate's pronunciation of canapes in the train video haha.
@@decemberclouds So true - that was so funny!
😂😂😂
Education has nothing to do with a trust fond though...
I would like to say a huge thank you to both of you. A little back story; I am quite scared of flying and did not step foot on a plane for 10 years. I live on the island nation of Barbados, so getting off is either by boat or plane, so it was an issue. I entered into therapy for my phobia and 6 years ago I stepped back on a plane to attend my daughter’s graduation in Canada. I started watching your channel and between your love of travel and your awesome videos, and therapy, I started flying again. I flew to the UK last year for the first time in 30 years! And am going back in June as my daughter is there studying now.
So all this to say.PLEASE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU’RE DOING AS YOU ARE MASSIVE INSPIRATIONS. Lots of love to you both from this island girl. Xoxoxo
Wow so proud of you!!!!! 💕✈️🫶🏼
Gotta admit Kara is growing beautiful by the day and Nate is looking younger than 2 years ago. Stay happy and keep entertaining us.
I'm the ultimate travel princess thanks to my husband, he manages all of our points. Thanks to him we've gotten really nice hotels, almost free flights, AND Disney tickets. Whenever he watches these with me, he loves Nate :)
Nate at 01:03 : Some commenters think we are "trust fund kids"
And Kara debunks this at 10:43 : - I got a free hairbrush in 2015 and I still have it!
Love you guys DSL said
Even us actual TF babies still love free stuff...
I learned a good phrase from my bf a long time ago "if it's free, it's for me"
And let me just say, not all TF babies are entitled brats. A lot of us still know the value of a dollar and we still work for a living...
@@DestinyTaylor-gw5jhDSL? How is an old, SLOW way of connecting to the internet able to speak?
It's really a shame that people assume that they are "trust fund kids". lol... they clearly are newbies and know NOTHING about where you come from. I'm personally SO proud of all of your success. You've earned it all, and don't ever let anyone tell you different! You guys are still keeping it real, and let me tell you.. I'm here since about 40K subscribers for YOU guys as humans MORE than the content. I think you are both fantastic people, my "internet friends", if you will, and every adventure you go on feels like I'm right there along with you. LOVE you guys so much!! ❤
Thanks for all the love ALWAYS 💛💛
Not only have you two earned your current station in life, fortunately, you brought the rest of us along for the ride. Just go back and watch some of their earlier videos. They’re the real deal. Nate’s quest for the ultimate adventure, coupled with Kara’s ability to not only meet, but exceed the challenges, and let’s face it, some of these adventures simply are not for the faint of heart, equals success, American style. Fast forward to 2024 and the questions still remain, what adventure will they embark on next, and where will they caviar next? Stay humble and kind. 🥰💪✌🌠
I cosign all of this - or watch any of the videos with Nate's parents!
This was wonderfully put, how sweet.
I've loved your content from the beginning to now, it is always evolving but you and Kara are what really make it memorable!
The talent you guys have to be able to make a 27 minute video about flying on an airplane is amazing. I think if I have made this video it would’ve been five minutes long and I was entertaining the entire time. Kudos.
OMG Kara and Nate’s channel has grown so much over the years. It feels like they were just in their van traveling across the fifty states. Now they are living the dream, THRIVING as always. SO GREAT TO SEE! ❤❤❤
people who think Kara is born into money haven't heard her try to pronounce eau de toilette yet
Or canapé
Or the fact that she thinks it is a toilette/poop spray.😂
I've been following since the beginning and I still go back and re-watch from the beginning. Watching you guys grow has been such a journey and one that I am super happy you shared with us. Not one video is awful!
"Is a rough life." You guys have to remember to record all the time (boarding, serving meals, showing the bathroom, etc), try to tell everything in a story (smiling), not count answer comments, e-mails and manage teams (this channel, fare drop, daily drop, and other businesses). First class, nice hotels, and stuff are more than deserved. If it was me, I would just enjoy the trip and just remember to take pictures to show friends and family haha.
It's a job, but some jobs are better than others.
Loved watching this video after just flying business class on Qatar Airways this past week. Everything about this video is a great representation of the experience. Going to be hard to top this experience on any future flight. Everything that comes with this ticket is worth the cost/points. My favorite part was being able to take a shower during my long layover. Totally worth it.
I'm sorry but I laughed when I saw that people thought you were living off a trust fund! I mean have they not seen your earliest videos?? 😂😅 What a bunch of nerds! Ya NO! They are just jealous of Nates prowess for beating the miles system!! I mean who wouldn't be! I love that you guys actually share all of this with us, your so real, I appreciate that! Thank you for sharing all your good, bad and ugly adventures with us, it's very interesting & inspiring!! ❤❤❤
I started watching "From the beginning" in October when I got covid and am now just finishing up. I admit, I watched your most recent video when I saw that Kara was dx with epilepsy and am now going back to finish the rest, starting with this one. I'm so thankful for being able to live vicariously through you even in the scary times. I've been chronically ill for seven years and probably will be for life, but your videos help me keep a positive attitude and even have given me some of my own bucket list ideas for things I want to do. I can't even begin to thank you for letting me into your lives whether you are having a good or bad day.
Kara and Nate, you've been uploading a looooot recently and I'm sure everyone is excited for what's to come!
I like how real she is and her reactions when she makes mistakes. She is never fake and she is definitely enjoying each single moment 👍🏼👍🏼
Kara should have merch that says; "THIS IS THE BEST (insert food/drink) I'VE EVER HAD!"
Been watching you guys since the beginning of the pandemic along with a number of other vloggers, and while I no longer watch most of them, you two I watch every flim. I love the passion you both have for what you've been doing these last 8 years. Kara is as beautiful inside as she is on the outside. And Nate there's nothing you won't try once. Keep it up guys!
Eau de toilette... It is usually applied directly to the skin after bathing or shaving.... basically its perfume
Watered down perfume
EDP is stronger, more concentrated vs EDT which is more diluted
As fellow travel RUclipsrs, we really appreciate the high quality of your videos. We're currently on a nine-month world cruise and understand the challenges of recording, editing, and posting content on the go. We started our RUclips journey after retirement, and we're old enough to be your parents! Keep your content authentic and enjoy the adventure.
My Saturdays are incomplete without a Kara and Nate video😭
It’s like adult Saturday morning cartoons only better!
I found myself smiling throughout the entire video…literally just sipping my oat cappuccino, eating my chocolate chip brioche I get every Sunday morning from the little French bakery down the street here in the West Village and smiling like we are good longtime friends and I’m catching up on your latest adventures. You are both so sweet and bring joy, kindness and goodness to all of us who follow your epic journeys….uts such a time of doom and gloom and uncertainty in the world and I just wanted to say….as always….thanks for showing and sharing the goodness in you both as well as in the world. @karaandnate
Dammit this is a helluva introduction Nate. I really haven't been following you all since the very, very beginning but hearing that story and the humble beginnings I hope inspires more people to chase their dreams.
Reading through these comments makes me realize why people stop producing great you tube vlogs! Come on! Kara and Nate are good, honest, hard working, caring, selfless people! Let’s try to practice more kindness and not be so darn rude❤️
Love your throwback to the Everest Base Camp series! I actually *just* watched all those in prep for an EBC trek. They’re so good and still helpful (and inspirational!) ❤️
Loved when Cara relaxed in the business class pajamas in the airports all the way home afterwards!!! Thank you 😊
Omg I faced that way when I was in business class with my sister, I think I was in the exact same seats just in 7 or 8 row. It was so fun I loved every 7 hours of it. Glad you enjoyed!!!
Did it make you feel nauseous? I’m debating booking those seats🤣
That coy look Kara gave Nate with that stoic no when he asked if she was working out was priceless 😂
I love your early videos. They remind me of the good old days when you guys were still learning how to travel and we could learn along with you. ❤
Best thing for a sick Saturday
omg twinn
Where have you been?
Feel better soon ❤
I flew on the Qsuite last month and - videos don’t do it justice. Believe it or not, but it’s much better in person. Big, spacious. Amazing!
Eau de toilette meaning "grooming water", is a lightly scented perfume. Eau is pronounced like the letter O, and toilette is pronounced as TWA-LET.
Love you guys. It really so much fun to see your genuine excitement in first class and business class. You are truly living your best life and adventures.
Like you knew I needed something good to watch!!
Qatar Q Suites is amazing! ❤ This was our first business class flight and now we’re spoiled.
Everyone uploads on Saturday! I love it!
Love that Kara not loving vlogging before coffee hasn’t changed!
PS: you guys deserve all the success coming your way from the hard work!
OMG KARA AND NATE UPLOADED TODAY IS THE BEST DAY OF THE WEEK!!!!!!!!!
The ground experience you recieved in Doha is similar to what most First Class passengers recieve. They get access to the same lounge and same First Class bus. They don't get the person waiting for them at the plane with thier name and an escort (that was because Qatar knew you were coming). Also, you have to request the bedrooms in the First Class lounge, because there are only 6-8 of them, there is often a wait during peak times. Y'all got VIP status with those rooms already reserved :)
Also, the cardboard box amenity kit is standard on Qatar Airways flights not departing from Doha. The flights departing from Doha recieve the traditional style amenity kits.
I visited the Al Safwa First Class lounge back in December, and I intentionally booked a 21 hour layover there to fully experience it. It was incredible!
Wahoo!!!! Happy Saturday! I just love Kara and Nate!
Eau de toilette - "Surely it's not poop spray?" Buahahaha!
Thank you for this episode!
You have NO IDEA how much I enjoyed the memories! Qatar Airlines' Business class' staff are truly caring and the entire experience is ABSOLUTELY wonderFull! 15+ hour flights to and from the middle of the Indian Ocean, those Q Suites are so sublime! (Not to mention all you can stand to eat!)
I miss the backpack travel vlogs from the early days.
They do both. Watch their backlog!👍
I don’t miss the cringe music 😂
Awesome video as always Kara and Nate. When Nate was talking about the early days of y’all’s journey I immediately when back to when y’all were in Hong Kong and y’all were in front of the big ferris wheel and Kara said are we going to ride it and Nate no it’s to expensive we’re just stand here and look at it.
Kara's pronunciation of Diptyque is rivalling Nates Canapés. 😂❤
I have been watching kara and nate since 2019 and i can proudly say they’ve worked hard to get here!!
I’m impatiently waiting for the camping in the desert video!!!
I’ve been a fan from day one and I love your older videos. They were so engaging and you felt like you were travelling along side you.
Does someone else miss the old content videos?? I binge on the OG channel all the time. So much more rich and interesting to wastch. Lately, videos just look like a commercial...
I don't disagree, but year 2 was basically a giant commercial because they did whatever they could get comped since they were mostly out of money
No I'm just happy to see them doing their thing. I watch mostly for their personalities as humans than where they go and what they do. They've really earned their success, and I'm glad to see them enjoy the fruits of their labor. I've been watching since about 40K subscribers so I've been here for all of it.
7 months ago I had surgery. The thing that I watched while recovering I watched all the Kara and Nate videos that I have missed, which was a lot. I had started watching from the beginning pre surgery so I didn't need to watch all of them. I still got to watch a lot of previous videos but I still feel that I have a video or two that I haven't seen.
you handled those critics with class sir 👍
You inspired my daughter and daughter-in-law to save their money and start travel vlogging. It's really interesting seeing them go to some of the places you've gone.
I love how Kara was watching Barbie and Nate was watching Oppenheimer 😂
😂
Kara and Nate are my favorite travel buddies around the world! I love the Vannah White tours of everything from Kara in each video 😂😂
I've been here since the beginning and still love watching every week ❤Ya'll are doing a great job with the videos ❤
Watching this from the 32nd row of a domestic Delta flight! 😂❤
Classy
Experiencing 15 hours in the world's best business class through your video was truly a delight! From the luxurious amenities to the impeccable service, every aspect of your journey showcased the epitome of travel comfort and sophistication. The spacious seating, gourmet meals, and personalized attention created an unparalleled experience that's sure to make any long-haul flight feel like a breeze. Thanks for taking us along on this extraordinary journey - it's certainly set the bar high for future travels! ✈🌟
As someone who’s been following this channel for well over a year now, it frustrates me to hear people are calling these two beauties trust funders. Clearly, you’re just commenting on the first video you saw and barely paid any attention, because these two are the furthest thing from trust fund babies. They’re the sweetest, most humble human beings who have both worked very hard to get to this luxury they can enjoy and that they’ve earned. BE GONE NEGATIVE NELLIES!
Agree. I've watched since the beginning and the worked their way up the ladder to be able to do what they do today. I know we see them living their best life. But they have also had to sacrifice a lot to do this. And in the beginning it definately wasn't always living their best life, just figuring out how to. And they did. :) I say good for them.
I’m flying on QSuites for my honeymoon from London to Sydney and I am so excited. My first ever business flight and paid fully using Avios!
Love that Kara and Nate are doing Barbenheimer 9 months after the hype🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My family of four flew in Qsuites last year, including seats 1E and 1F. These two seats have less storage space on the sides because the aisle widens slightly for the restroom entryway. 2E and 2F (seats not together) had a little "bench space" where I could sit my backpack. Being able to fly together in a pod as a family of four was amazing!
Why have you never been to Québec, Canada? Montréal, Québec city and the back country have a lot to offer.
One of y’all’s Dad was my small group leader back in middle school at long hollow church in Hendersonville Tn! That’s how i found out about yall! I’m now in college! It’s always nice to relax and watch y’all!
Cur the cringy travel music. Lol I love you guys. Nate's travel hacking has been a huge success.
You two are always so exciting to watch.
Thank you Nate and Kara for allowing us to tag along on your fabulous trips.
Absolutely cannot wait for your next series of videos!
This is exactly how you’re supposed to watch Barbenheimer
I L❤VED all the throwbacks to old Kara and Nate! Thanks for strolling down memory lane in this video. Made me chuckle 😂
I know you're not trust fund babies because I've watched all your stuff. I may have discovered you in 2020, but I went back to watch them all. That said, I don't want to offend you, but ... I actually enjoyed those videos more. It seems now that all the videos are extreme physical challenges or high-priced trips/stays. Personally, I think y'all were happier back then trying to squeeze all the fun out of your limited funds.
Qsuites are amazing. Wife and I were fortunate to use our points for AKL to LHR via DOH last December (80K Avios each). Attendants could not do more, great experience. I've now booked LAX to DEL via DOH in the New Year. Love you videos.
Love your guy’s videos ❤❤
I love how it doesn’t matter how long yall travel Kara is probably just as excited everytime.
2 videos in 6 dayss??😍😍
Kara and nate would say 'mind-blowing '
Love seeing young Kara. So cute!! Keep doing the throwbacks guys. Really adds nostalgia to the modern stuff
Saturday afternoon viewing sorted 🎉
We flew Qsuites when we went to Australia in Dec 2022. Our PJ's we not as nice as yours as they were for the FIFA world cup and looked like sports shirts. Our seats didn't go completly flat, did yours? Also the devider between our seat was stuck half way up and just wouldn't budge. Not a big deal the food service and service more than made up for it. So glad you enjoyed it.
Eau de toilette is a cheaper kind of parfum, it doesn’t have anything to do with the word toilette 😂😂
I started watching you guys about 6-8 months ago and I just want to say thank you for sharing your experiences this way and being such amazing, sweet and open humans! Also you guys remind me of my boyfriend and I cause we hate being apart from each other and I see the same in you guys
Am I the only one who has ever noticed that Nate cannot say x? As in excited?
I’ve not been with you 8 years but I’ve been with you since the start of your van life journey and I love your videos; I also started watching your old videos and I don’t think I’ve missed 1 video now! I reload my RUclips hoping for another video every week🫶🏻
