------------------
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. :)
For me as someone from the UK, this really puts into perspective how massive the US is! If I were to drive 2500 miles from my house, I would reach Kazakhstan. And I'd pass through 7 countries; France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Belarus and Russia. The fact that you can drive for 2500 miles and still be in the same country is mind blowing to me!
No one asked dan😂🤡
That's false Dan, if you were to drive from the UK to Kazakhstan you'd of travelled 3,789 miles (that's the shortest route, with light traffic)
@@Joshua-bv5bo Ah, thanks for checking that for me! I just had another look on Google maps and it turns out I made a bit of a mistake. I was measuring as the crow flies instead of by road. The Kazakhstan border is give or take 2500 miles away from London directly, but this didn't take roads into account
@@danlyle531 wow u reply to bozo joshua but not me🤡
@@deletedvideos. he's not gonna shag you
As someone who doesn't live in the us, I always hear about cities like LA and NY, quite refreshing to see other quieter sites as well!!
Yess there are so many other amazing places
Yeah really awesome and incredible cities👍🏻
The US is HUGE
The US is huge and has many many cliffs and valleys, cities and hamlets, mountains and plains, and cool sight to see. You can easily spend years to see half of the cool attractions littered across the country
If you are interested in more Route 66 stuff I highly suggest checking out Justin Scarred. He did the complete route 66 road trip.
I worked in hotels for 18 years. I was always taught, if you park your car in front of you door and enter from outside, it’s a motel. If you enter through a lobby area and go to your room using a hallway, it’s a hotel.
And a motel wouldn't require as much staff as a hotel, right? Just the owner/receptionist and housekeeping? Motels usually don't have that much in the way of amenities. It's just a place to sleep for the night, maybe they have a pool and a laundry room. Just the basics for road-trippers.
I was today years old.
In UK some motels have hallways 😉
@@helenbingham9836 that’s interesting, is there any other similarities or differences??
@@cowsrock1q omg saaame
Went through a depressed state after losing my child due to natural reasons.... Kara voice and positive attitude gives me life and restores my humanity
I just discovered traveling with you, expanding my 80th year of life
So sorry to here...sending hugs and support....
Hear, not here, oops
MUCH LOVE to you Sweetheart 💖
Lets not underestimate that Kara and Nate are a huge part of global 2020 recovery efforts 😄 keeping a million of us sane and inspired during these crazy time ❤❤❤
Haha very true! Even traveling full time well slow travel 😂 in 2020 we still have been tuning in for every vlog!
Ya who cares about the travel advisory
How I've always defined the difference in motels and hotels:
If you access your room from the outside, it's a motel. If you access your room from inside in a hallway, it's a hotel.
That’s what I’ve always heard as well.
Right. If you can drive up to the door of your room, that's a motel. Sometimes even branded a "Motor Inn". Lol. I have a strict rule to never again sleep in a motel after a couple of scary experiences as a kid. It is one of the few things about which I am not willing to be cheap!
I agree...“motel” means you access the doors to each room from the outside and “hotel” means you access the doors to each room from the inside (hallway).
I heard Motel..move on
Hotel..home
But the door explanation seems right
Motels are low like the letter m. Hotels are tall like the letter l.
I am only 14 years old and these 2 people are my greatest inspiration. I want to travel the world and the united states like you guys when i’m older. i love the content! ❤️
Same
I’m literally the exact same!!!!
It helps to have a sexy girl beside you to lure us guys...sorry bud you gotta wait four more years...
I just posted a video on my road trip around the US if you want to check it out😁
Same but I'm 16 and I wanna travel the uk and the world
Great video!
Being european, I'm sort of fascinated by all the quirky, little known tourist traps along those american roads.
Also, "I kinda feel like we're back at Chernobyl" is an awesome line!
Nate getting excited about a tumbleweed just made my day omg
if i saw one i would flip out that's sooo cool lol
LOL Nate is hilarious🤣
I have 2 of those sage in my front yard, but if you water them they have purple flowers and dont tumble
The only thing I know about Route 66 is that its a song from the movie “Cars”.
Thats all facts. Thought it was only a thing in "Cars"
You showing you age but I guess we are too! It was a Nat King Cole song from the late 50's or early 60's.
@@TravelingTramps Get York Kicks on Route 66 is honestly a great song.
OMG, SO I *WAS* RIGHT ABOUT HAVING ROUTE 66 ON CARS!!!!!
@@MVPMrSimp-fo3xk What??? What if they don't live in the USA, like me, WTF ARE U TALKING ABOUT??!
I’m addicted to your guys videos 🥺
Who would have to know that an Instagram model would be interested in vlogs!
@@orangehq4108 she is still a person
We love them too!! They convinced us to quit our jobs to travel full time and vlog!! What a wild adventure traveling in 2020 is and RUclips! Wild yet so worth it! Thank you K&N for all the continued inspiration!!!
Same
Same
I love how they always find weird adventures that I would never think of
Don't you have a neighborhood flasher to tease ?
I just posted a video on my road trip around the US if you want to check it out😁
Were are you from?😊
Oh, how I loved this. Route 66 is one of those uniquely American experiences. It really does sum up what this country is about. I don't think that people not from here can fully comprehend that, across 3,000 miles of land that is vastly different in weather and topography, you also see differences in other areas too: cuisine, culture, history, dialects, architecture and sheer personality. As you drive, it's like experiencing a kaleidoscope; all different but merging into one. More than anything else, driving across the US really does epitomize the "melting pot" that IS this country.
*Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel across the country from coast to coast without seeing anything* - Charles Kuralt.
Way to be intentional about seeing America how it's meant to be seen! Route 66 seems incredible!
I’m from Australia and did a 3 week, 3000+ mile Route 66 trip from Chicago to Vegas back in 2013 and it was so wonderful to watch this vlog and remember all the amazing places and sights. Thank you guys and stay safe
I know you get tons of comments and will probably never read this but i just want to say thank you guys so much. Suffering from manic depression life is a constant battle for me i am so grateful to have found this channel it brings me so much joy. You guys are so optimistic and your outlook has been helping me change my mindset. I always look forward to waking up and watching you 2! Thank you for this you 2 are doing far more than just sharing your awesome journey!
stay strong
Nate: ‘stops the car’
Kara: what are you doing?
Nate: I’ve never seen a tumble weed before 😂
I know right my yard is full of them lol
You need to get out more
Only thing worse was he didn't know the difference between Motel and Hotel
@@travelintammy6073 we thought it was so funny! The best!! We love that they are so real in their vlogs even if it makes them look silly. We love doing that in our vlogs. More relatable
ay.link/AJ5fHB :)
Who else here always watches as soon as they post?
🎉
I do
Yep. I look forward to the videos.
I try to but school gets in the way but Kara and Nate are wayyyy more important
Pretty sure I'm one of them.
I’ve been on bed rest since Thursday and I made your videos my RUclips marathon. I love watching them and I’ll continue watching them after I feel better. Thank you for your videos and making me feel like you brought me along with you two!!
thank you for being so respectful always and respecting all the guidelines in all the different states throughout your entire van life journey. i makes me love you and respect you two even more 💚💚💚💚💚
Your niece is perhaps one of the most adorable children I have ever seen...
The bloops make the ending
Everytime :) :)
Absolutely love you guys and your happy! You literally enjoy each other as much as your travels! Refreshing and inspiring! I'm turning 66 this year and plan to drive Route 66 to celebrate. So glad to have come across your channel. You guys definately make this a Subscribe necessity simply by being authentic you. Thank you.
Blessings, Sheila
I've watched, and rewatched so many of y'all's videos lately, it's always great to see a new one pop up! 😄 You guys rock.
I still cant believe you guys woke up at 4am every morning and ran. I could never do that 😂🤪
Right???😂😂😂 what a weird year.
@@KaraandNate love you guys
They needed content.
@@EchoBravo370 They needed something productive to do, just like any of the other Americans that weren't working like normal. I have been out and working nearly the whole time, so I kind of laugh when people talk about nothing to do and never seeing other people.
Wait. What? Did I miss something? Did they say that in this video? Wow. They never cease to amaze me.
The amount of positive vibes I receive from you guys even though we are in 2 different ends of the earth is crazy :)
Love from India
Same here
Same
Same here
Indiana?
@@givonn5166 India not Indiana.
I love it when Kara and Nate go to places that you've been to before! It sort of Confirms that the place is cool!
I started watching your first vlogs and then this vlog came into my suggestions and OMG how much has the quality and story increased. It makes me watch and carry on the whole series from where I left. Great job guys!!
You: that's some big ol hail! Everything's bigger in Texas!
Me (Texan): that's the tiniest hail I've ever seen
Same. I’ve seen hail as big as a softball before here in the panhandle of Texas.
@@Michelle_B. Exactly! Golf ball sized hail or larger is the norm!
Danielle Hammer lol as an Albertan: that was tiny hail
Amazing
This Virginian has seen bigger too
That “HEY” made my heart melt!! 💜🥺
My husband and I traveled Route 66 in the spring of 2016. It is such an incredible trip, we can’t wait to go back and enjoy!! We also drank coffee at 806 in Amarillo at the table right by the front desk. Thank you so much for letting us relive those fun memories!
I love how you just park and never know what you’ll wake up too, and it’s always beautiful!
As a british person... I would say you nailed the accent... well done Kara 👏👏🙌
Nope no she didn't hahahaha
As a fellow Brit, I would say that Harris4Life is just being nice...but its getting there Kara..keep working on it as I will with My Tennessee accent lol. Another fab video btw :)
@@mee5780 shhhhhh I wanted to give her some credit 😜
She just needs to keep trying 😁😅
@@lucy-louisepatey7001 lol ya
As a long-term British subscriber I can honestly say that Kara attempting a British accent was like listening to a 10yr old girl doing an impression of Oliver Twist. It really made me smile. Thanks Kara, it was exactly what I needed at 02:45 on my night shift 😆
@@marknieuwejaar1075 ew, wtf is wrong with you Mark? They didn't anything like that you sicko.
That is the greatest Audible ad I've ever watched! Love keeping up with you guys
Hope you two have an awesome time with your family! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Happy holidays! Kera & and Nate😊
I live in asia never went to other continents but watch this channel it feels like im there
BEST RUclips CHANNEL EVER!!!!
Agree with you Ellie :) hope we can be just as great in the future :)
I've watched a lot of couple travel channels and this one is definitely becoming my favorite! You guys have a unique and personable style that makes your videos special. I am also about to purchase editing course you offer and am super pumped! Keep the awesome content coming!
Glad you’re safely back home. Enjoy being with your family and we look forward to more adventures after the holidays!
Well its official I've have now caught up and watched all you're videos. Thanks for making quarantine a little more enjoyable...love from Montana 😊
I LOVE Kara And Nate’s longer videos!
I love all of your videos!! Wishing you guys the best new year and can't wait to see what's in store for your channel!
"what you listen to and what you fill your body with make a huge difference." you are so wise, Nate.
I'm thinking about this route for early spring next year! Really excited to watch you two travel down and see what it's like.
We loved route 66 and its a shame a lot of it gets overlooked by the interstate because there are cool towns!!! Even Petrified Forest NP. Williams is so cute. That ice cream!!
Not sure they visiting NP because of everything that happened, but totally an incredible drive! 44 hours is a DRIVE!
@@codywilliams5246 100% :) yes- just wanted to share. We made the drive last Janurary actually-it was very cool! From Kingman to Petrified and the Texas stops. Watching now and Kara and Nate def made a wonderful video with their stops :) love it!
@@OurNationalAdventure awesome
Yup as somebody who lives in New Mexico it very well is overlooked and there’s a lot of cool things to see, very diverse state as well
I wish they had had time to do Oatman, Prescott, Jerome, and some other AZ cities - we have lots of quirky places and cool history! Come back and see us!!!
My favorite part Was the excitement over the tumbleweed. Out of everything that you have seen the tumbleweed had to make it into the video. You guys are hilarious.
I appreciate y'all featuring real America. You give me hope for future generations. I have to agree about getting addicted ... probably because you produce quality videos with fun and in-depth information. Keep traveling. In-joy.
Your videos planted the seed of international travel for me and my goal of seeing the 7 wonders of the world before I turn 30. Thank you!
I heard they repaved the road over the song portion and didnt want to redo the song grooves in the road. Thats why they took down the signs and why you can barely hear it :(
😥
Also the original song itself is butchered. Due to miscommunication in construction, the grooves aren't properly spaced out. Tom Scott has a great video in this
Just drove the stretch of road last week. Drive at 45 mph and you can hear it.
I’ve been beinge watching y’all’s videos over Christmas break. I’m obsessed
It’s nice to see a not-so-glossy side of America, and you’re having so much fun. Thank you and God bless you both.
I love this channel!!!! And loved seeing the drone shots again!
And every Texan is like "that hail is tiny!" I'm honestly surprised you were impressed by that
i was looking for this comment, they haven’t even seen real hail yet
They’re from Nashville, they don’t get crazy weather like the Midwest gets.
That was the smallest hail I’ve ever seen lol
So ture
Great job guys! We need your youthful excitement on Route 66! Thank you! I've shared it in my Facebook groups.
Thank you thank you thank you for making a longer episode! I love longer episodes! Probably why I loved the bike trip so much ❤️
You guys should travel up to Minnesota and to the North Shore of Lake Superior! We have very good coffee ☺️
YES! i live in minnesota! please come up here!!
They would LOVE it
You definitely should!! Let me know if you do
We agree. The Minnesota north shore is beautiful! Side trip to Bayfield WI too!
@@TravelingTramps Bayfield is beautiful!
That “hey” from Galilee is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen
I've been all over America and it's beautiful! I wish they'd show more of these wonderful landscapes they're driving through.
Finally!!! After following your journey from your first video up until the last, THIS is the first video that my Pa and I would actually watch on the day of its actual release!!! Keep it up, and more love from the Philippines.
That is intense! But has to be a cool experience. Awesome to see his story and northern Arizona highlighted!
Shout out to Northern Arizona!
We always drive to Arizona during spring break and we have never gone and missed the Cadillac Ranch!! It’s alwayse sooo fun
I adore karas little dance walk she does whenever she’s super happy lol ie in the coffee shop.
I’m south of Amarillo about 4 hours in West Texas and there are tumbleweeds all the time, especially when it’s windy. Love that y’all are still travelin’ and vloggin’, even if it is in the states.
Drinking game: take a shot/sip every time they say “Route 66”
@That Guy you got off good I’m dead
I love the video! You guys always make them so good! Also you guys are amazing at editing, I wish I was as good as you guys ❤️
I just recently subscribed to your channel, and i must say that I love watching your videos. I learn so much about everything when it comes to the 100 countries you have traveled to and some of the U.S. Just the little things. Thank you.
That's so great people came together to keep all that historical safe and perseved
I absolutely LOVED the way you edited this video! Really makes it feel like I am actually there! I want a behind the scene editing video!?!
Kara attempted British and Texan accents in one video, that's a first! Thank you both for all the wonderful content to keep me sane in crazy 2020. Welcome home and have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
Great journey on Route 66!!!! Loved it....keep them coming!
David’s book is such an inspiration!! Literally changed my life and how I view obstacles
what is the name of the book called?
It actually felt like I was taking the road trip with y’all really good job 👍🏼
Hi really great video Route 66 looks amazing great way to get home looking forward to seeing your next video keep safe 😷👍🏻
No matter where you are, you guys always find something interesting to look at and film. Very enjoyable
You guys edited/narrated and emotionally told, your story of Angel Delgadillo in the first part of your guys video that it made me cry. You guys never cease to amaze!
A motel is entered from the outside, a hotel is entered from the inside. At least that's how my grandparents always explained it.
That is my experience too
I think a hotel has to serve food and drink
It depends. Like some Motel 6's enter from the inside and some motels serve food and drink.
One storey🤔
Yep, according to my dad and grandparents a motel is an establishment in which you can enter your room from the parking lot. Affectively allowing you the motor up to your door. A hotel has a front desk and you enter your room via a interior hallway.
Well done Kara, this video is now on my short list of favorites you have created.
all the drone shots are so amazing! thanks for showing how beautiful the US is!
British people on the accent : you go Kara
British people on pasta being called noodles : erm
I’m not even British and I made a face when she said noodles 🤣
I say noodles. It might be a regional thing.
They're egg noodles. It's a specific kind of pasta, but it isn't Italian, so it's kind of weird to call it pasta.
Nate’s first time seeing a tumbleweed - so cute. Oh the little things 😅
This child-like enthusiasm for life.... so endearing ! Your videos motivate me. Thanks much.
What amazing adventures you two are living!! The American dream! Thank you for letting the rest of us join you! I’m very jealous. ❤️🇺🇸👀
This was so cool for you guys to see my home texas!😂 I’ve never seen someone get excited to see a tumble weed!😆❤️
I think we would be excited aswell :) We know Texas as a country of cool muscle cars :) hope it lives up to the name :)
best part of quarantine is to be able to watch you guys the moment you upload
Agree, quarantine is the best :)
I absolutely LOVED this video! Happy travels, Kara and Nate. 😊
Lol I'm laughing so much because of the awe and surprise you have for the little things all of us who love here are used to like tumbleweeds and strong Texas winds!
The hail blooper had me crying because we get hail the size of SOFTBALLS in OK and TX.
In the voice of Chandler Bing.. "could u guys be more adorable" 🤩
Awwww I could hear it as I read it!!! 😁
You guys are literally so addicting I love your channel Kara and Nate
Kara, as a brit loved your British accent in this episode. Look forward to all the content, you are a brilliant couple. Thanks for all you share.
Gali: “It’s PaPaw!!!” 😂 But Nate you got the hug!!! 😊
I love your content!!!!❤️❤️
Us tooooo :)
Great Videos guys. Be safe and stay healthy on all your travels.
So excited to watch this as I’m driving this route from CA to South Carolina this summer.
“Know where we’re going to know where we came from” lots of people really needs to hear this
they say the same line in the Cars Movies, that’s all i could think about
Ok this is like the best vlog ever hahah!
The musical highway was epic when first done. Thus is my hometown. I'm touched to see you all here. Please come back soon!
Finally I’ve been somewhere Kara and Nate have been. That barber shop and restaurant are so much fun. A worthwhile stop. 🤩
My family just got a camper two dogs one 3 year old me (12) and my parents can’t wait to go to the mountains in spring.
