Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the #travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to go 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, and we didn’t want to stop after just one year! After achieving our new goal of 100 countries and then all 7 continents (check out our documentary here: • 100th COUNTRY DOCUMENTARY , we had no plans to slow down, until 2020 decided to force us to ;) which is when we bought a converted Sprinter van to start exploring our own country for the first time. It was a major adjustment and so different than flying every week like we were used to, but we are incredibly thankful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎
Not me tearing up at Kara’s reaction to the surprise 🥺
me too hahah
Same
Those are the reactions you want when you plan a surprise party!
same :D
Me too! 🥺
Kara and her sister are so similar, it is so adorable. Even their laughs reminds me of one another
Hahahah thought the same🤣🤣 they are sooo alike😜
Did I catch that they both have significant others named Nate/Nathan, too?!
@@dianaabrams375 yes you did 😂 and they are 😆
Kara and her sister sound just alike lol. I kept forgetting who was talking lol
Her voice went up an octave when her sister walked in the room. I can’t even 😂
Can't even what?
@@searcherfortruthlayton1665 it’s just slang for I can’t handle the cuteness
Isn’t she precious?
Can we talk about how the official castle tour was done in PJs && slippers?! Like goals or nahhhh?? LOL. I love it.
I genuinely think Kara is the most pure and genuine person, I've ever... seen!
🥰💗
She's so pure while still being so practical, I love it!!
Yes I agree
As someone who also travelled the world in my 20s, and speaking as someone who will be turning 40 this year, I can safely say that my 30s were even better than my 20s, and I cannot wait to see what the next decade brings! From a fellow Tennessean... Happy Birthday, Kara!
If you want it to be, it will be great.
It gets better and better while you're holding onto your health no matter the decade.
good travel before have your kids then settle down be a adult family enjoy it. then reach 50,s travel world again
How do you even travel like that if you don’t come from money, it seems like a struggle to even pay bills, I went back to school because I’m tired of living like that but I just don’t see how it’s possible coming from poverty
When Kara says "we're done with work now its time to have fun" .. That changed my whole outlook. Some of us forget that this a job to them as much as it is fun. As someone who is trying to start a travel vlog, This sentence changes everything for me.
I can’t get over the fact they’re both married to Nates
Woah!!!!!!
I was like... they have to at least acknowledge that they're both married to Nathans. :)
Weird. In school I always had another Mike or two in there with me. Since then, hardly ever. Weird again.
That's hilarious
Kara's heartfelt talk about turning 30 ❤️
The best is still ahead of you.
When I turned 30, I had just moved to Chicago with like $100 in my pocket for a sketchy job that I wasn't even sure I was going to like. But I did it and stuck with it to get outta my comfort zone. I have no regrets. Life is a journey you only get to live once.
I'm not sure about that once. Nobody's ever sent word back. Could be if we knew what was next we wouldn't hold onto this life so hard. Only going there will show you what it is.l
imagine if Kara's sister's boyfriend was also at the kitchen in the morning making coffee. Nate and the boyfriend would just stare and nod at each other.
10/10
Best comment!
💯
@@icybear21 lol thanks
Lol right
I turned 30, 40 years ago. Life just gets better and better.
Like how? I didn’t realize Lipitor and Insulin and a whole slew of other pills make your life better and better.
@@sammywhammy007 Hopefully you will find out. If you don't, then it is all irrelevant anyway.
@aena Yep.
Aww ..that's a lovely comment..Shame you received some really dumb replies .. these kids don't seem to realise that they'll be there before they know it!
At 23, archie, your words make me even more anxious to grow old and explore life. God bless you brother and many more happy years to you!
Gosh I actually got tears from seeing Kara’s joy when she saw her sister- Happy Birthday Kara!! 30s are prime time living and will inshallah be your best ever!!
😭💗
Yaassss I agree! Being in your 30s is amazing!
Girl, I'm in my mid-40s now. I can tell you, it really gets better as you age. My 30s were amazing. My 40s are amazing. You're gonna love your 30s!
Girl, I’m turning 50 this year and life has only gotten better and better with each passing year. Enjoy!!
Why this cannot be Netflix series... This content is so wholesome❤️
Totally agree great couple super engaging and you can just see they’re so genuine.
Nate's Colorado Trail biking series would be worthy of Netflix but I'm afraid they'd edit something out. It's 3+ hours long and I've watched it twice. Netflix doesn't normally hook me like that.
I assume there is alot more freedom doing it your self than handing it over to Netflix. Alot more work, true, but they still own their own content.
So true they need a show
Why does it need to be on Netflix tho?
Are we just gonna ignore that Kara and kassie are like identical twins and both married Nathan’s?!?!
Yep
She's only 30? I thought she was like 45.
@@smallkitty7887 why?
@@carlosursua-sanchez3621 I noticed that she does look a bit older, I guess all those 4 years of travel do not come for free, they are tough on your body, constant time zone changes, food and water inconsistency etc.
@@smallkitty7887 45? You're DREAMING, lol. She looks 30 to me.
A castle in Texas...
*this castle ain't big enough for the two of us*
Texas is the last place you'd expect to see a castle. But hey, go big or go home, right? The moment you enter the castle, it feels like you've entered a time machine. Kara deserves that castle to be her permanent home! She's the perfect royal. ¡Feliz cumpleaños Kara!
I think the right name for it is McMansion.
there he is....again.....wtf......why do I see you everywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????
And it's not even the only one. There are two (I think. Definitely one) less than an hour north of San Antonio.
Actually, you would expect a BIGGER castle in Texas! Seriously, they do large houses (and castles to an extent) like they're going out of fashion! There's "barndominiums" (metal and pole buildings with living quarters) that exceed 50,000sqft\4980sqm! And the average in the barndominium class is around 10,000sqft\998sqm give or take some. And the average suburban house in Texas is between 3,000sqft\298sqm and 5800sqft\578sqm. What most of the USA considers a mansion, Texans consider a cozy cottage!
Happy birthday Kara! Thanks for just being you and bringing your enthusiasm and joy to all of us. We need it!!
Imagine how fun it would be to run around the castle in some medival costumes
I'm thinking Monty Python with coconuts!
Imagine playing hide and seek
@@xolupe7 yesss
I was so impressed with how Nate pronounced the name of that castle in Germany. Then we see how much he had to practice in the bloops. 😂
Busted 🤣
I literally pass by this castle almost every month. So excited to see what it looks like inside!!!!!!!! So happy you got to explore the beautiful TX Hill Country. ❤️
My 30's was my favorite decade, I'm glad you had the loveliest day and time spent with your sister and her hubby!!!
Probably the most genuine surprised reaction ever on RUclips 3:00
Exactly the reaction you want when planning a surprise party!
kara’s english accent is coming along nicely, far less “cockney” than it used to be.😂😂😂
I'm curious to see how the Australian accent is coming along lol
@@TheAwkwardTourists - that was rather cockney as well, if I remember rightly😁😁😁
@@roymarven2554 😂😂
I cant get over the fact that while you can see kinship in the physical aspect, Kara's sister voice is so close to the one of Kara, she could dub her.
Life begins at 30. Everything up to that was just practice! Happy birthday Kara!
That Castle!😍😍😍
I think they call it a McMansion or gaudy and grotesque American monstrosity
If you have a son you should name him Moe
Kara's home tours are so much more entertaining than the ones on HGTV.
@@handlemonium Maybe they should take their act to HGTV then.
Can someone subscribe to my channel, I a m making also travel vlogs. (I am a beginner😂)
Happy 30th! I'm pushing 76 and still remember my 30th. Oddly enough, it's the only one that I specifically remember - so there is that.
Oh yeah - and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
Happy Birthday Kara!! We started our travels when I was 30 and have been traveling ever since- 36 years and going. I love watching as it brings back so many memories. Covid halted our travels, but we are looking forward to traveling again soon. Once traveling is in your blood it's there for good. Happy travels!!
Each decade has it own precious times! The BEST is yet to come! Happy birthday, Princess! 💜
Can we just appreciate the effort nate makes to take those morning shots.. Ik the number of times he would run here and there just to take a shot
He’s literally the best ☕️🎥
@@KaraandNate ik righttt..💫we need a bts..plsss
the best is yet to come girl! 30s are awesome :) happy birthday again
Too right 👍
I'm loving my 40s so far! Lol
Hey Nadine, yup, as I remember, my 30s were awesome, as were my 40s, 50s, 60s, and so far, same for the 70s.
@@dianaabrams375 is l
@@jimgreen5788 Let's hear it for the 70s! Thought I was the only one in that decade watching these videos.
I’m literally obsessed with Kara and Nate. The more I watch, the more I want to be them, have their kind of love and life. Just so so so much love ❤️ happy birthday Kara! Your 30s will be amazing 💞
The relationship Kara has with her sister is so awesome! I could only wish to have a relationship like that!
I love how the clip of Nate almost getting zapped is always in the video when you talk about the van lmao. Cracks me up!
It's like Kara (i'm guessing, cuz she edits) puts in there to remind us as much as to remind Nate not do that stuff again! :')
Kara’s reaction to the surprise is so wholesome and adorable
agree :) Surprises are always soooo great :)
She's obviously a wholey complete woman. They have something incredible together. Oneness.
@@mikeparkerson1497 so true bestieeee
As someone who is in the final months of their 30s, I think it was the best decade but also the most bittersweet. Everything you got away with in your 20s doesn't fly in your 30s, but that's okay & you'll realize how much more meaningful your 30s are. 😊
Congrats to Kara from Norway! Last year I was 50. Hand on my heart. The next 20 yrs of your life will be even better! Full steam ahead!
I CLICKED FASTER THAN I EVER HAVE THANK YOU KARA AND NATE FOR ALL THE EFFORT YOU PUT IN TO ENTERTAIN US!
Happy birthday Kara!
Happy Birthday to Kara!!! 🎉 Cheers to a year of traveling the U.S, van life, and unique places to stay. ❤️
Hm
Thank you 💗😁
I know it's late but happy birthday kara! Thank you for your sunny bright smile that always gives us warmth even when we went through this hardest darkest time:) hope you & nate always healthy♡
It makes me happy to watch all of this, coz you're such a wonderful soul! Love you, Kara!
I'm not gonna lie... I cried my eyes out when I turned 30. I was reflective of where I had been, and thinking I wasn't where I thought I'd be by by the age of 30. But you know what? The 30's turned out to be the best time of my life. I felt that people really started to take me seriously, I felt more mature, and I finally let go of the heavy insecurities of my youth. I realized that you should never put labels or time restraints on your goals, and that it's not so much the destination as it is the journey. I also met some of the greatest people who are now so incredibly important in my life. My 30's has been an incredible gift, and life keeps getting better and better. ❤️
that little jump Kara did when the sister surprised was sooo cuteeee
Wow! I mean just WOW! What an incredible way to end one decade and begin a new one! Happy Birthday Kara. All best wishes for yet another incredible decade. Looking forward to viewing them on your channel.
Nice job Nate. It is beautiful to see the little surprises you do for each other even though you all are always seeing new things. I love all the archways.
I hope I can find my own Nate one *day that treats me like a princess. 💖*
Should i introduce myself?
@@torernning8652 haha hello hello! I'm from Canada.
@@Thefitty Any plans of visiting Norway or should i visit you after the pandemic?
@@torernning8652 omg YES ACTUALLY I LONG TO VISIT THE SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES ! I have Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Iceland and Greenland all on my plan.
@@Thefitty Very good. I live in Trondheim in the middle of Norway. A 2 hour drive from Sweden, and daily flights to the other countries. read up on Norway, learn some norwegian phrases until we meet. Have a great day princess.
honestly, I didn’t think there was a castle in Texas, there aren’t many castles in North America that I know of
Who would have thought, right?!😆
There are quite a few in Canada, plus all the historic “castle” hotels.
Five of them in Kentucky. The one in Versailles is quite impressive.
I think we have one in Indiana.
there’s on in california, hearsts caslte
You guys are by far one of my most fav RUclips couples! Happy birthday Kara!
Sisters uniting always makes me cry. Happy birthday Kara!
Now even though I saw the snapchat story, I still had tears in my eyes when you surprised Kara, you could tell she was so happy, hope you had a great day Kara. Btw that castle is INSANE!
Kara got the best present ever, people she loves!
The castle visit was made into a fantastic birthday memory, good job Nate! Her reaction was perfect!
Welcome to the 30's club Kara!
That's definitely a birthday to remember!
I found your You Tube Channel several months ago and began binge watching and sharing with everyone I knew. Imagine my surprise when I saw this video. I live in the Hill Country in Texas and have been going to the lakes you can see from the balcony practically all of my life. This castle I have driven past ...back and forth trying to see as much as possible on the farm market road....for years. I did research looking for information and pictures of the inside, but all was very limited until NOW!!! OMG thank you so much for this. And what a birthday surprise.
Kara & Nate, thank you for sharing your 30th birthday with all of us Kara. May you have many more and awesome adventures in the future.
In LA, that home would be worth $20 million.
more like $200 million
Omg right in Colorado too! My house was 1m$ and it’s not that big!
Yep welcome to LA were every house is worth more then 1.6 million dollars!
why
And two hours away in Austin it would be as well.
happy birthday Kara!!! so excited to see what unfolds for you two in the next decade 🤍
Happy Birthday, Kara! ❤️ Nate, thank you for making it so special for her!!
Omg I love Kara she’s so cute I love how excited she gets 😩💕 I’m glad you had a good birthday!!!
Is no one going to talk about their intro... the old K & N coffee intro I missed that one :) Love your videos as always xx
Yes oh yes 🥰🥰
Oh yes, I was missing it already for so many weeks and happy that they use it again, it is so sentimental since they've been using it from the start😭
They're so into lo-fi music at the moment
From my perspective, 30 is very young, that is over 40 years ago for me. I love ya'lls channel as I am unable both physically and monetarily unable to travel. Keep going maybe you will get to go on more exciting adventures soon.
Awww, Kara's happiness makes me happy! Well done, Nate!
HAPPPYYY BIRTHDAY KARA!!! ❤️❤️ I can't even put into words how happy you guys make me, I can't!! And I don't know why, but I teared up when Kara said she was sad about turning 30! 😭😭😭
You only deserve THE BEST, much love to you both 😭❤️❤️
SO AMAZING!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. Happy Birthday Kara!
they are such fun to watch
Imagine playing hide and seek in that castle after dark
Among us in real life \
Happy belated 30th Kara! I turned 38 the same day, YAY for Pisces! Such a great & unique way to celebrate your milestone w/ family. I’m new to your adventures but love all the positive vibes you 2 give out! Thx for sharing your lives w/ us!
I LOVE how Nate gets you coffee every morning. Happy Birthday Kara!!!!!
My fave RUclipsrs ever!!! Thank you kara and nate for what you do! 💕
Happy Birthday. This was magnificent. Great reflections on your 20’s - trust me it gets better and better.
Girl you got it all ahead of you I turned 30 thirty years ago We have raised 3 wonderful boys and had many adventures with them and also travelling together as a couple The memories are priceless Enjoy the journey!
I genuinely love you guys. Such amazing people and to share all this cool stuff is amazing! Happy bday Kara!!!
When I was a kid in the late 90s I was driving through the hill country with my parents and we saw a massive white box far in the distance on a hill top. We decided to drive toward it to find out what this strange structure was and we were so confused and delighted when we got close enough to see that it was a castle! Now all these years later seeing it completed and the interior of it is delightful. I’d love to see it in person again. I’d forgotten about that fun memory until I saw this video.
kara looks so happy that her sister was lying to her :3
Tears and smiles! Happy Birthday Kara ! "So much room for activities" loved it!
This was so adorable, I literally had a tear too when Kara met her sister 😭 ❤
Happy Birthday Kara, my 30’s was the best time of my life.
My palace is even better
you're always invited
😂
@@peterharrop179 hope youre joking
Americans can't go to North Korea now lol ur a fake
Are you paying them to promote your palace on AirBnB, Kim? If so, they will be there.
@@keystonepredictions 😂😂😂
Happy 30th Kara! You truly are such an inspiration and amazing human in general
Kara you have such a great outlook on life. So humbling to see you reflect on your past, present and looking forward to the future. Have fun in your 30s!
I have been waiting for this. Your Instagram story sounded great about this location.
❤️❤️❤️
7:09
- *Nate reached in his pocket* and I swear to god I thought he was about to propose to Kara, then I remembered they’re already married 🙈🙈
what’s wrong with me
😂😂😂
💀💀
Same
Will you double marry me? So if we get divorced we are still married. 😂
Hahaha same!!!
What an awesome experience for all of you. Incredible to stay in a castle, especially for ones birthday. Thanks for sharing the fun! 😎
I remember watching them build the castle from my grandparents back deck. Never got to tour it in person but have always dreamed of visiting. Thank you for posting this video!
Damn Nate had me fooled for changing the name of the lake! 🤣🤣🤣
I love how the first thing Nate does after waking up is prepare coffee for Kara
He is like an actual Hallmark movie character.
OMG! I couldn't help the tears filling my eyes when you walked into that kitchen!
💕💕Happy belated birthday Kara💕💕
💕💕💕💕💕💕
and congratulations to that amazing husband of yours❤️
I hope to welcome you in Cork someday to show you the *real* capital of Ireland xox
Stay safe, lotsa blessings,
Marion ❤️
That's so cute and touching, thank you 🙏💗
I'm also impressed how generous the owners are to build this magnificent thing and just put it on rent.
Can not wait to watch this video bet it is going to be absolutely amazing!!!! I love your guy’s videos and they are always my favorite part of my Sunday.
We will see what I’m going to do for my 30th birthday lol
Absolutely brilliant way to spend your 29/30th birthday and how much better could it be spending it with people you love so much.
Happy Belated Birthday to a lovely lady, remember you are only actually one day older x
As an experienced 30 something year old- let me welcome you to best decade of your life thus far ❤️ Happy Birthday Kara!
30’s are wonderful! It’s when you really come into your own and firmly know who you are:)
Happy belated birthday, Kara! Thank you both for sharing this experience, this is an ultimate vacation destination!! I love castles!!
To stay in a castle is one thing, imagine its all yours for a night, so cool hey. ONE LOVE
Happy Birthday Kate... I love only twenty minutes from the castle. I have always wanted to see the inside of the castle, it was so beautiful.
I smiles so hard when Kara got her surprise :))
Huge excitement🤣 almost jumped out of her skin🤣🤣
This legit made me smile for 17 minutes straight :)
I can't believe I finally caught up, I have spent the last 6 weeks binge-watching all these videos from the beginning, now I have to take it day by day like everyone else, lol. Happy birthday and that castle was awesome. My bucket list has one country on it and that is Scotland, it has of the most amazing castles around. Maybe one day you all will visit
and I'll get to watch.
As someone who also turned 30 during this pandemic I am glad you got to spend it with people you love doing something awesome!! Welcome to 30!
I think its weird that im crying happy tears for kara
