Who are Kara and Nate?!
Watch our documentary here: • 100th COUNTRY DOCUMENTARY
Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married 2013 and were super “normal.” I was a teacher and Nate started a small printing business from the spare bedroom of our apartment. We discovered the world of “travel hacking” & became obsessed. So after 2 years of obsessively saving $35k and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016 for a “one year” trip around the world. Our goal was to see as many places as possible before we ran out of money and went home to “normal life.” We started this travel vlog to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with this lifestyle and did everything we could to keep going. 4 years later, we achieved our new goal of visiting 100 countries and all 7 continents. We had no plans to slow down, until 2020 forced us to ;) Which is when we bought a converted van to start exploring our own country for the first time. Van life 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. 😊🎥🌎

The way Kara is so happy and bubbly at the end of the race while Nate is literally fighting for his life struggling to get words out 😂😭
For sure
(
Laughs)
How nice to see the kind smiles of happy people! Meanwhile, Ukrainians are dying from Russian missiles and suffering from acts of genocide in the occupied regions of Ukraine!
Please support the people of Ukraine in repelling the aggressor!
The defeat of Russia is a guarantee of peace and democracy on Earth!
Kara being such a supportive wife. Even when she’s upside down. Lol
Yes!!!! Hollering from behind!!!! Hahahaha!
@@taylorjones7174 Problem was she was hollering at Nates behind :)
HAHAHA yesss

Just hearing Kara yell “GO NATE GO! GO NATE GO!” All muffled in the camera is so freaking hilarious to me.
Literally yelling into his ass lol
And so cute and wholesome
I was literally crying laughing with that first shot of Kara’s feet dangling in front of Nate as y’all were running 😂😂😂😂😂 excellent camera placement! 10/10
What is that even, "foot cam"?
Nate-"I feel like I'm gonna vomit."
Kara-"that was so much fun!"
Had me laughing so much my wife and kids think I'm losing my mind. 😂
So, go and compete next year.
Me too
Kara says:" I'm gonna break Nate"...LOL !!!!
I was laughing so hard at the clashing moods
Kara’s legs sticking straight in front of the camera bouncing was the funniest sight! 🤣🤣🤣 You guys are awesome! Love from Ohio 💜
I know right 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
O-H
We were dying laughing rewatching the footage 🤣
My thoughts exactly! 🤣
As a fan from finland im really amazed how you take part in such a small event. Its so amazing how adventurous and brave you two are!!
I have tears coming down my face from watching nate's shots with kara's legs dangling in the air 🤣
Nate screaming we're winning five seconds into the race had me laughing. You guys killed it so fun to watch
Lmao this was the best part
Hying himself up.
We started watching your videos in March of 2020 and over the course of the pandemic we watched every single one of your videos! So happy to call you guys our imaginary friends, maybe we will see you out there in this big beautiful world!
#facts
I’ve watched every episode twice 🤣🥰 My absolute favorite couple
Same! :D
🤧did someone cut an onion? Thanks for the support :)
I am of exactly the same opinion. Kara and Nate are just the best ! so nice and entertaining... often better than friends!
Nate: literally dying at the end of the race
Kara: “IM SO HAPPY”😂😂
Love you guys! Your videos make my day!🥰
kiera??? 😭
@@keiramccrudden thank you soooo much for correcting my mistake!❤️
MUCH LOVE!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@FaithHannah2468 hahaha no problem, thank you for being so nice about it lol ❤️
OMG hahaha the camera angle of Kara’s legs bobbing down the course is freaking hysterical. Loved this one!
I have not laughed so hard in the last 2 years. THANK YOU Nate and Kara. This was just an awesome experience watching you two go through this race!
Kara and Nate‘s bizarre challenge videos are in a league of their own
P.s I love u guys 💕
So glad you enjoyed it. This video was SO MUCH FUN to make!
Yes, I love all of these challanges.
This video was a riot to watch!! One of my all time faves of yours. Thank you for the great laughs!!
@@KaraandNate you definitely should go to Mn again and visit the head of Mississippi and camp in a tent and do stuff that you wouldn’t do in a different state
@@KaraandNate I think Nate disagree.
when that guy said 'a lady never tells' i lost it. amazing
Having participated in 2017 with my American (then girlfriend) wife, I can relate to the pain at the finish line. I'm so glad that you came to enjoy the weird Finnish culture. Oh and p.s, we have a bunch of other obscure world championships you can participate in your future travels 😉
In honor of Kara, I always watch these videos while drinking coffee, which proved to be a mistake as I almost choked on it laughing so hard when the video was suddenly framed by Kara's cute little bare feet, lol. Funniest video yet, lol. Way to go, Nate; working hard with Kara cheering you on while hanging upside down, lol
“Are you being carried?”
“A lady never tells!” 😂😂😂😂😂
This is honestly a hilarious video but poor Nate just dying at the end while Kara’s feet just dangle in the wind 🤣🤣
You two never fail to improve my day! That was epic lol, I don't know how to explain it but I started watching you on your 100 countries vids and worried what the pandemic would mean for you both but you have consistently posted videos that keep me entertained from start to finish (laughing and crying along the way). It is, without doubt, your personalities and positivity that keeps us all here, we would watch you watching paint dry because you'd find a way to make it funny. Loved this one for the absolute joy that it gave. xx
Jacqueline Temple, thanks for saying what I've wanted to for a long time.
That was the craziest race/event I've ever seen. Yes Nate, long distance running and sprinting are very different sports. I can only imagine how hard it was carrying Kara while racing AND making it fun to watch.
I just found you guys on RUclips a few weeks ago and I’ve been enjoying your content SO much! This video was insanely entertaining! My husband and I tried running around the house using the same hold and let’s just say we have a great amount of respect for your athleticism!
I love that you tried it 🤣
THIS CHALLENGE IS WILD!! Haha I love how much people get into it! 😂 it’s so entertaining
The crowd definitely took it to another level and the opening ceremony parade 😅
LOL Totally hilarious and crazy theme for a race! 🤭🤣👍Kara ans Nate did great!❤🧡
the face of regret on the dude's face , half way into the run , as his legs were exploding under the weight of his wife was heart warming :D
This vlog was great, I was laughing all the way through. Congrats on being 9th with a great time, you did very well, hope you go back next year and compete again, see if you can beat your time. I love you both and Kara being such a bubbly person makes all your achievements seem so worthwhile. I think you two are great and make a perfect couple and when and if you have children you'll be great parents. All the best from the U.K. xx
Hi 👋how are you doing?
As a Finn this video made me so happy. Good job guys!
Just starting but I know I’m going to laugh for the next 15 minutes😂 love your adventures❤️
Woohoo top ten! Those husband were huge compared to those wives that won. Definitely had the advantage. Good job Nate! And you didn’t knock any of Kara’s teeth out thank goodness😳
We did too when we were rewatching footage, haha!
This is so cool! I love how accepting you guys are to almost all obstacles you face while travelling. You guys joing this competition really shows how willing you two are to new experiences despite knowing what a challenge it would be. Awesome content guysss!
I feel like you guys always have the weirdest but best times in Finland 😂❤️ The country seems great!
Come visit us sometime. I've lived here going on 7 years, and it is a great place to live, even in winter.
Top 10!!! That’s AMAZING!! You really should be so happy and proud! It was so uplifting to watch this unique event & what Finland friendliness 🤗 imagine you got your luggage back shortly afterwards. Onward to the North Pole 🧭
I swear no other RUclips channel gives you such a positive vibe like yours. I just feel good when I see you guys. Thankyou and wish you guys good health.
This was honestly a very good video and nicely produced. I even got to spot my self from this video :D. This is (maybe) the first time i have seen any of your content and i subscribed
HAHAHA so much fun and mad props guys
I was convinced you would win the race 😂 Anything you two put your mind to, not only achieve it but go beyond! 9th place is still amazing! Such a fun video to watch!
haha same!
Thanks for believing in us 😁
Your enthusiasm and energy completely shined through in this video. Next Nate needs to try some Scottish Highland games. Also so great to see so many countries represented in a local event.
BRB googling the "Scottish Highland Games"
Ooh yes….Nate trying to toss a Caber…now that would be good! 😂😂😂
@@alisonweir3901 wearing a kilt
I am legitimately crying from laughter, this video was HILARIOUS?! A lady never tells, Nate saying he is going to vomit, the other American wife paddling her husband. 10/10!
I was having a really crappy morning and this just turned my whole day around! Thanks for the laughs and smiles
😂 I spit out my coffee laughing so much watching this video! Never been prouder to be an American. Team USA 🇺🇸 had the best spirit, costume, and sense of humor, hands down! 👏👏 Bravo for being in the top 10, Kara & Nate! And big congratulations to Finland 🇫🇮 and Lithuania 🇱🇹 for taking the top spots in a really challenging and entertaining race!
I haven’t laughed this hard in a while!!! Kara’s feet dangling in the air 😂😂😂😂😂 amazing
THANK YOU for making my day! I definitely burst out laughing.
Also anytime Nate is yelling while manically running trying not to fall is for some reason an endlessly enjoyable moment of zaniness.
Had a tough day and this was just what I needed. I was laughing so hard. Thank you for letting us be apart of your adventures!
LMAO THIS RACE WAS HILARIOUS. Y’all did amazing I was actually expecting you to fail at the water but y’all did fantastic! I love the school gym part it’s crazy how local it is, I think that would be amazing to attend. Love y’all can wait for the next Episode!
Hahahahaha! The best part of this race is for the spectators! My hometown did this race during a 4th of July festival a few years back and it was so much fun! You two have the best personalities for all these adventures. Super competitive and a great sense of humor!!!
I love that they are super-competitive yet so friendly and supportive of their team mates!
I have been struggling mentally lately after breaking my leg and you two always lift my spirits and this is just what I needed thank you both!
I love when you guys do stuff like this, you guys should consider going back next year to try and take 1st place... I HAVE FAITH IN YOU GUYS!!!! MUCH LOVE FROM NC!!!!
the gro pro footage had me CRYING!!! Karas legs just dangling and Nate’s crazed look. PRICELESS
I'm in tears from laughing!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Seeing Nate run with Kara's legs bouncing around and seeing her thighs at his ears with his facial expressions!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Best video ever!!!!
Such a great video! Laughed and cheered you on the whole way through. Love how you both give your all to the experience! Nate taking care to let Kara know the water was coming. Thank you for sharing your joy!
This was so much fun to watch! From the modeling of the matching outfits to Kara’s legs dangling in front of the camera throughout the race!! PLEASE don’t ever stop making videos, we look forward to each and every one of your adventures!! Love love love your happy, positive, adorable personalities!!!
This was HILARIOUS and I loved your editing! I especially loved your matching outfit walks and the 1800s flashback 😂😂 And Nate dying and Kara having an adrenaline rush 😂 and your legs flailing in the air!
Love how nate warned kara about the water. It was so funny his expressions though. Love you two!
This was so great! I love when you both do competitions and challenges (the survival challenge was definitely my favorite). This was so fun! I'm impressed that Nate managed to work the go pro and race simultaneously! Way to go!
I laughed so much, you guys brought me to tears 😂. What an amazing event and you guys are awesome for going all the way to Finland to compete and share with us. Thank you so much, I love your personnalities and following your adventures! Merci from Québec!!
So glad you had so much fun attending the "Eukonkannon MM-kisat" :) I have been a fan of your travel vlog for years and the Finland-episodes are always so fun - seeing my own country from your perspective is interesting.
I almost choked on my watermelon when Kara’s legs popped on the screen. Everytime it switches to that view I can’t stop laughing!!
I finally caught up to your last video after watching for many months. You guys are one crazy and fun team. The way you push yourselves reminds me when I need to push myself through obstacles in life. Thank you for all of your entertaining adventures!
O my beautiful people, I haven't laughed like this in a very long time...you have no idea how encouraging your content are and you bring hope to souls who is doing everything to keep pressing on in this crazy world we live in...well done and God bless, love from South Africa 🇿🇦

You guys never let us down with the fun and crazy content!your content always inspires me to explore and have adventures wherever I am.
This is hilarious! Thanks for videoing it for us. You guys are awesome.
This is now my favorite Kara and Nate video! I laughed so hard. Thanks, I needed that!
I love how your channel has evolved! All the physical challenges from the Colorado trail, Ragbra, climbing the mountain, Alcatraz, (not a fan of the donkey one, sorry) Tuscany and the wife carrying have been extremely entertaining! Thank you! Looking forward to the next physical challenge! 😍
Best Episode Ever! Couldn’t stop laughing/smiling during the race. You guys are so fun!

This was amazing!! Kara's laugh just made it 1,000 times better!! Nate, kudos to you, that definitely wasn't easy and great job not dropping Kara 😉
Kara and Nate, I just wanted to let you both know that we just re-watched your 100 country documentary and please keep letting us live vicariously though your videos! We love you!❤️
Waited so long for this video, totally worth it. I’ve found y’all’s channel and now I wanna drag my family around to experience life

Your best video yet! Kara, the shots of your feet had me crying!
I love this video! Made me laugh all the way through 😄😄
Talk about a bonding experience! Haha I think the RV life definitely has helped in that for us but a race like this looks like it takes it to the next level!!! 🤣
Wow 😱 you guys are awesome, loving the way no challenge is out of the question so far. Definitely great enthusiasm for life and what it has to offer Kara and Nate well done ❤️🏆👏👏👏
That was hysterical 😂so much fun to watch , thank you both for sharing this ! You’re a great couple ! You get the trophy for having the most fun in my book ! God Bless You ! Go 🇺🇸
I can already tell that this is gonna be great!!!😂
That looked like the hardest thing I've ever seen Nate do! And you two do incredibly hard things! Such a crazy, funny adventure!!
I don't know which one I felt worse after, wife carrying or the burro race...
Not the first marathon you ever ran?
You guys never cease to amaze me with the things you find and do. I'm glad you guys had a good time and excited to see what crazy things you guys end up doing next!
That was by far the best video I have ever seen. That beat any movie I have ever watched in my life. Just hearing Kara laughing the entire race cracked me up. You two are great! Thanks for the awesome videos.
This was absurd, and I love every second of it 😂
Watching Kara and Nate always puts a smile on my face even if it is a video I have already watched. Love ya!
I love your travel videos and it was great to get a glimpse of that in last week's in Bulgaria vlog. But I also really love how your channel has evolved over the years and switching it up between general travel, family/friend travel (vespa tour), van life, family visits, these quirky destination challenges and the many bike challenges. I'm not a super athletic person but the fun you two have, and especially the fun with your "biker crew", is enjoyable no matter what you all are doing. Thank you so much for all the effort you put into these videos. You guys are the best! Can't wait to see the North Pole :)
You guys had alluded to this video weeks ago and I've been on the edge of my seat waiting to see it!! I absolutely LOVE this race!!
So excited for this video! You inspire me and bring so much joy and love into your videos. Thanks for all you hard work and caring for your viewers. Love you guys! ❤️
Watching Kara’s little toes flying around had me in tears 😂😂😂
I don’t know why I didn’t click on your videos before, but I am hooked! I love your energy and your sense of humor and you’re really
couples’ goals! I stopped traveling with the pandemic and your videos make me want to travel again!
Thank you for such a fun video. Totally brightened up my day.
