Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” and taking more trips together and finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and travel hacking over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left January 10, 2016. We started this RUclips channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling. So we extended our 1 year trip to THREE years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before Nate turns 30 (which is March 20, 2019)! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
My favorite is when you show the beautiful happy faces of local children. Thank you for your videos.
Mingalabar, Kara and Nate, I didn’t expect to ran into you guys when I was visiting Mandalay. About 30 minutes before I saw you both, I was telling the two photographers that was with me about your vlogs and journeys. It was really nice to meet you guys in my home country 😊. I’m glad to see that both of you had a ton of fun exploring Myanmar .
Mayzin Naing How cool!
It was SO nice meeting you! Such crazy timing!❤
One of the things I love about these villages, in almost every country you visit, are the local markets. The produce there is so colorful, so fresh, and you really get a feel for the locals. And I love getting to see the children, who look so happy living in the moment and enjoying life (without technology).
The only problem with watching your videos is that you keep adding new places to my bucket list. LOL!!! You two just brighten my day!
Exactly, I just started to search for Myanmar
Yes! Totally agree 🤗🤷♀️
... yes!! And they make me hungry lol
I never had the desire to travel to south-east Asia before - my travels were mostly around Europe with an amazing journey to New-Zealand and the south-pacific islands.
After literally one vlog of your trip to Myanmar I started looking for flight prices. This place looks amazing and after the second vlog it's definitely on my bucket list.
Have an awesome time in Myanmar! I can't wait for the rest of it!
That's what we like to hear!!!😁
it's been only three months i left Yangon and i already miss so much and of course, Myanmar food. watching your videos makes me get homesickness. i've been to Srikasra twice. there is another ancient city about one hour drive away which is amazing too. my comment would be too long if i told you every amazing thing i've done throughout my life;20 years in Myanmar. i hope you guys have a wonderful trip in Myanmar. Enjoy!!
Spending all my time at Home(In India) due to this Pandemic now has really made me miss the outside world.
Your vlogs are but a stress-breaker at this point of time. Thanks a lot to u Duo
Thank you very much for amazing video. As a Myanmar citizen, I am very grateful and proud on your video. It is an illumination upon darkness of rumour. Seeing is believing. Thanks again you are not bias and presented the real situation.
Awe I love to see the children's faces and the natives doing their life in their villages!!!! 😊
My wife and I love cruising. We cruised the Mekong on The Jahan with a group of friends and the ship was ours. Crew were fabulous as was the ship. Just love watching your travels in little old Perth Western Australia. Your award is well deserved. Keep enjoying you two, you are an inspiration.
I live in Delhi, India. Never thought that our neighbouring country Myanmar is so beautiful. Will definitely try to visit there some day. Thanks for sharing.
Welcome, dear.
What a classy boat! Looks like the kind of place Katharine Hepburn would meet Humphrey Bogart in. Can't wait to see another cruise series!!
One of my favorite videos on your channel! Loved seeing all of the local people mixed into your video. It actually brought tears to my eyes when you mentioned how cheap their food and drinks were...I love that you two are exposing these beautiful people and places to the world. Thank you for sharing and enjoy your travels!!
I love watching your guys vlogs because of how real you guys are and how much you appreciate all of these cultures and researched about them and explain the history behind them. And you geniunely seem interested in getting the authentic experience in each country versus a lot of other travel vlogs where it's like "I'm staying in this five star hotel eating at americanized restaurants the entire time - but hey here's my outfit of the day!"
Thank you guys for being so incredible.
Myanmar has never been on my bucket list of places to go, but now it is! The city looks amazing and that river cruise too
Those little children are beautiful! Thanks for showing Myanmar. Love it!!
I really like how you do those slow and sped up shots, that makes the video much more amazing
I love that, too.
What a nice boat can't believe it was just you guys an one other couple... food looked so yummy to ..have fun can't wait for next adventure
wow, after seeing how amazing the boat is and all the effort put in to make it so nice, it actually makes me really sad that it was only you and one other couple. So many people missing out on an amazing experience and so many hardworking staff whose efforts aren't recognized enough.
Hopefully your videos of this trip will encourage more people to try it out!!!
This is definitely on my bucket list now!
Before watching your last 2 vlogs, Myanmar was not a place we've ever considered visiting but now it's pretty high on our bucket list! Can't wait to see more!
Wow, that river cruise was amazing. The boat looked really nice and there was so much attention to detail. It definitely is heartbreaking what is happening or has happened in other parts of that country.
So, thank you, Kara and Nate...I've just spent the last 4 weeks binge-watching your videos from the beginning. Needless to say, not much else has gotten done. So thanks... ;-)
But, you have managed to add another country (and destination) to add to my "go to" list. Looking forward to seeing what adventures you have in the 28 remaining countries!
It's the smiles on the kids face that do it for me.
Guys that was beautiful, I am still confused why people do not like your videos. My husband and I have added a few adventures to our list and can't wait to share our videos and pics with y'all.
Slightly more to the unrest than you said, but, I do agree that it is a beautiful country and should not stop people going there as change can only happen when people like you show how great a place is. I am so surprised only you and another couple were on that lovely boat. Happy travels.
Wow! I’m so looking forward to more of these Myanmar cruise videos! It looks so amazing
The other thing that has discouraged people from coming to Myanmar is less than 10 years ago the country was under the harsh thumb of the military junta and outside access was severely restricted.
Now it’s happening again :”)
well, here we go again
You guys always come up with the coolest things to do !!! I, too, was so happy when you announced you were going on a river cruise. That is such a great idea!!! And you guys are so good at showing how fun something is!
You'll inspired my trip to Myanmar and I thank you. I didn't get to do the boat tour but my week spent in Yangon and out in Bago was awesome. Thanks guys.
We're going to have to put Myanmar on our travel list after watching this. The cruise looks so fun! - Anna
But first, watch some of this... PBS Frontline.
www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/un-myanmars-top-generals-should-be-tried-for-genocide-war-crimes/
Let me know if you were able to watch the full video.
You'll be surprised at how many stray dogs you see out on the streets lmao
Such beautiful children with happy smiles!
First comment on You Tube. Have binge watched your vids for the past month and now am like one of Pavlovs dogs when the notification bell goes off. Can't wait for new content.
Safe travels to you both!
We are honored to be the recipient of your first comment 👍🏻😁
Kara and Nate
My honour guys. Keep up the great vlog. I am Canadian married to a Brazilian. If you guys need any help planning a Brazil trip just ask! Other than the onerous visa process, it is a vibrant country, full of the warmest people, and totally worthy of 1 of your 100 countries visited. Cheers!
Hey guys - LOVING your Myanmar series so far, the cruise looks mindblowing! Nate - "life couldn't get any better" .......good for you guys 🙂
Such great videos! Loved to hear you say that cruising is great because you get to see new places and don’t have repack. It’s one of the reasons we love to cruise. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Very inspiring. - Tony
Myanmar is nothing less then other south east Asian countries and you proved that.
Thank you for showing undiscovered part of the world.
Got the notification of a new video on my email, everything stops so I can watch it!
I AM a big fan! They are so upbeat and have such sunny personalities that it brightens my whole day. TV is nothing but hate, division and perversion, Nate and Kara are light in the darkness, a breath of fresh air, a special gift from God.
Thank you for your kindness❤ We are thankful God has given us this opportunity!!
Scottie Hall I
Kate looks at nate the same way she looks at food! Soooo adorbs!
Love the vlogs. You 100% deserve your Shorty Award! Keep up the great work.
We really enjoy how you mix budget and luxury. And we were particularly pleased with the way you told us about the country using the map, bringing in the "bad news" bit. In England, we only got to hear about the slaughter of the Muslims and how they escaped to Bangladesh. But your vlog has showed us that life is very different to all the news we have heard. It reminded us of your Laos cruise. Really looking forward to the rest of the cruise. Excellent as usual xx
You have no idea how happy you and your videos make me!!
Mily Alvarez come to chin state of Myanmar
Kara and Nate!!! Guys first of all, you guys are the best stress busters ever!! I envy and adore the life you live. Makes me feel there much more to life then the 9-6 Jobs...Keep up the great job!! bdw how are you always travelling and still you both look like athletes!!
The beetle nut thing that Nate ate, It's called a PAN in Pakistan and it can be made in the sweet version too,
Which is awesome!
Appreciate that you mentioned that “making sense” doesn’t mean “okay”.
Totally agree with Kara at 7.00 about being on a cruise. We did our first ever cruise in Alaska in 2016 and loved waking in a different place each day and our bags stayed in the same place!!
Craig Smith me too! Our family loves to cruise. We are doing Alaska again July. Leaving from Seattle though not Vancouver though. No problem to cross the border and drive south for a couple hours. Should be fun.
Wow Myanmar is beautiful!! I love how you’re both so positive for most of the time and don’t let little things get to you (like the guy who ran into Kara). It inspires me to be more that way too :)
💗💗💗💗 I totally got something I didn't expect from this.
I have lived my dream of travelling the world through you. Thank you so much for that 💋💕 keep travelling. Love you both 💕
this one deserves a star rating after quite some time...... nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Betel leaf is traditionally taken with arecanut and other condiments.
A new vlog yay!! That cruise looks amazing, look at that sunset
Surely they will get more business after your series on the boat and visits. Loved it! Thanks for the views.
The editing on this video is impressive!👍Gives such good vibes about the place👏
What an amazing cruise. Who would have thought it would be such a beautiful boat. And the free drinks. Wow
the boat reminded me of an old Mississippi River Boat. Only one other couple...Un real! I think after this video has been seen that there will be more people who will want to see Myanmar. Great video ....as usual...safe travels you two
Thanks, they are safe in Myanmar anyway. myanmar people means no harm at all. They love foreigners. No war no conflicts in mainland. But beware thieves, mugs,etc.
I'm always to sad when the video ends so soon. I want to keep watching!
Best travel vlog on youtube! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us (I think I speak for all of us viewers when I say it's like being part of your extended family)...Love to you both from Izmir on the Turkish Mediterranean! Stay safe! & TRAVEL ON!
@Kara...I know you're reading this...soooo convince Nate to take a trip to wonderful Turkey! You guys would dig it. The great people here are waiting for you...expats & locals alike.
Don't worry... we will be there SOON! :)
Please let me know when...one of my wife's BFF (a local) lives in Istanbul (has taken us around plenty of times) & would be stoked to show you guys around too...my family & I live in Izmir, it would be our pleasure to host you....we got you covered either way!
Don't miss ballon ride in BAGAN. And Ngapali sea beach.
Very informative and entertaining video. This place is beautiful and absolutely underrated. Hope the food tasted better then it looked. Thanx for sharing.
Great video. Learning a lot from you for my travel videos.
burma is like my hometown! I'm glad your their, its gorgeous. unfortunately I visited the place last when I was 8 and don't remember much, your videos sure help me
Looks AMAZING you guys!!! enjoy! thank you for visiting all the places that I always wanted to visit. Maybe one day!!!
Myanmar is in my travel plans now. Thank you!
Myanmar is the future of tourism. India and China investing a lot to develop this country. Love from India to Myanmar
Myanmar is such a beautiful country I loved my time there! It’s so raw and untouched
Hello from Canada! I am a new subscriber to your channel. I decided to watch all your videos from when you first started so it would make it easier to follow your journey. It did take a while but I have finally caught up. You two are just so much fun & I have been really enjoying the videos. Keep up the great work, well done!
So far one of my favorite vids! Amazing
There were only 4 people on the boat?!? Wow!! You always catch so many beautiful faces in your video's. You truly show the beauty of humanity!!!
Look very busy road the boat look very good rooms so large beautiful inside the food look good as well thank you for sharing your beautiful video,
A cruise almost all to yourselves! That's not too shabby! I loved the interactions with the monks.
Found you guys last week while i was sick and just lying around home and now i'm binging!
Love from India!
well thats another one on my bucket list, like you we love cruising so i think i will have to do this one.
Well done great to see the map with all the old names on it awesome and the food looks fabulous as well yes a bit of nasties somewhere in country seems to dull the tourist s but you are so lucky seeing it before it changes stay safe and enjoy yourselves
Myanmar is not at all a dangerous place. Conflicts just happened at the rim of westernmost border with Bangaladesh thousand miles away from where they are now travelling. In Mainland, no war no conflicts nth at all. No suicide bombers, no guns, no reasonless killers like the case in LA america, or western europe.
but just some normal crimes of any society like thieves, mugs, etc.
Myanmar people means no harm but they are not a saint but just normal human beings.
Seeing the other side of the world makes me wanna travel .. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us . Needless to say it's amazing 😀
I can't believe you have this beautiful boat almost all to yourselves! That is crazy!
Always obsessed with your boat tour transitions! Filming/editing goals!!!
The cruise looks awesome guys it is now definitely on my bucket list!! Kathy from Australia 🇦🇺🤗🐨
The kids....those faces! Beautiful!
Kathy Jollie
Really
Wonder how the rhohinga kids 's faces look like!
Idr Dho dont even bother kathy will probably thing it is "bad press" and nothing more just ignore the genocide and refugees
DAN TDM
Dan just for information, I belong everywhere and anywhere. Now, my being here was by chance. I just stumbled upon this video. And I am I did.
Dan, people seem to be desensitised by everything around them. So much so to the point that when a little of truth is mentioned, the whole seems to be up in arms. And this reminds me of this famous words of George Bernard Shaw who said:
" In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." Ponder up them.
Dan, that's me. I follow the principle whereby " if I see a wrong, I try to change it with my hand, if I can't i try to change with my mouth (words), and if I can't I have a dislike for it.
Dan, although I respect every one's opinion , that does mean I can't say anything about it.
Let's not have tunnel vision of the world. When we see a wrong, whoever it is committed against, let's do something wherever it is.
Have a good and thoughtful day.
DAN TDM
Swearing upon the monks' actions heh?
Poor soul
End of debate
Shall I say get a life?
What an amazing country and a totally awesome ship to be on. A real memorable trip. Enjoy 💕
We like overlanding for the same reason you like cruising. All our stuff is in our vehicle all the time and we get to see new places every day. Although our bed looks nothing like that one.
Very beautiful country for sure. Great video guys. On to the next.
I get so happy when a new vlog is uploaded! I love you guys! Great job as usual.
Kara and Nate, I found your channel when you had 25K subscribers and have been watching and enjoying your videos ever since. But Kara's explanation of the Myanmar Rohingya crisis deeply disturbed me. There's a very good reason why tourism has halted in Myanmar. 700K Rohingya have fled the country because the government has systematically killed, starved, raped and terrorized them. 6,700 were killed in one month alone. Numerous mass graves have been found, and the government is denying them (women and children included) food and medical care. This is genocide in the making (so says the U.N.), but your explanation of the situation made it sound distant and relatively harmless. This video made my stomach churn.
my favorite travel youtube channel by FAR!! you guys are so good together!!
Thank you 💜😁
So I stumbled upon your channel a while ago and really enjoy your style of traveling. This is the exception to your whole channel and actually started an argument between my husband and I as far as how to comment on a geopolitical issues as well as how to be a citizen of the world. I am sad to have read through the entire comments section to see that you guys have not replied or acknowledged that you may have made a mistake. In my opinion, mistakes are how we learn, make changes in ourselves and when that happens it should be praised. I understand being on brand and that this is your job, but to be so flippant to the plight of these people is in total contrast to your message of helping others as you have in the past (see Africa videos, India videos, and other mission trips). Please address this in the comments section or a video later, because I really think you owe that to your viewers.
Wow! It looks like an incredible river cruise!
This kind of amazing vlogs make me to go back to my country. Always good to hear that you guys love my country. And I'm looking forward to watch next vlogs.
Love your blog guys. I use it for my travel reference all the time :)
That's so sad that the ship is so empty! It already looks like an incredible experience. Looking forward to the rest of these vlogs!
I have to say that you guys are doing amazing job and you video editing is just out of the world
The reason their are only 4 tourists is the campaign here in Europe to stop tourism to Myanmar after their massacre of the rohyngya ethnic minority.
The manager who explained the problems attributed it to the British " wielding a pencil". But Burma became independent in 1948 within the boundaries that it has always had since before it was part of British India at the beginning of the 19th cent. It has always been a country of many ethnic minority's but British rule never caused ethnic problems.
After independence it became a military dictatorship with incredible corruption and violence against minority's who resented the lack of democracy.
In spite of this I love your vlogs and look forward to each one. Just wanted the record straight.
By the way most of the problems in the Middle East were caused by mr Sykes and m. Picot, two civil servants , carving up the Ottoman Empire in 1923 by drawing pencil lines on a map. Look at a map and note the straight lines caused by their ruler. Lol
I mean...it could also have to do with the fact that it's over $3000 dollars a person, for a cruise in SE Asia. I don't live in SE Asia so that I can spend a fortune. $3000 could last me half a year (and did).
Brandon Lovett . If you check tourist arrivals for 2018 they have plummeted. Since the rohynga massacre became public. In spite of the costs arrivals were rising. Now dropped off a precipice.
John Forbes I’m not going to disagree on all the map lining, independence and military rules. Yes, they’re all true. But Myanmar is a democratic country now and was just minding its own business when the rohingyas started invading the native’s territory. Would anyone let strangers into their house without any permission? No. You see, there’s always 2 sides to a story. What everyone is seeing from the media is the rohingyas side of the story. I’m not causing any hates between anyone but I do not want anyone to say or complain or offend anything without considering both sides of the story
Aleinmar 04 your grasp of the facts is somewhat loose. The rohynga ethnic Muslim minority have been in Burma since the early 19th century. They were simply people who migrated to Burma from the Muslim north when the area was part of India. During British colonial rule they were never a problem. Now under the military dictatorship that rules Myanmar with a rod of iron and total corruption they have become victims of unjustified ethnic cleansing.
Have you learn about myanmar history?our empire is huge before british came.And those rohingya bengali is not myanmar ethnic.they come with british from bengaladesh.learn history first.kiddo
Wow! Yeah I'm adding this to my bucket list. And it will probably be higher up on the list.
You must visit Kolkata in India, for some super food and history. Since you are so close to the city now.
Kara & Nate. Love your Show! I wake up to a new post everyday. Burma looks so different to when I was there 30+ years ago. Now I want to go back and visit the Irrawaddy. And yes - they are the most wonderful people aren’t they? Humble yet proud. Deeply religious. Loving, kind.... Do the folks still wear the whitish paste on their face? Thanaka? Something like that.
Yes they do 💜 we try it out in the next video! So it looks different to you on the outside, but it is the same on the inside ☺️
Wow....what an awesome life!
Wow, that boat is beautiful. I love cruising too. Sending love from Coffs Harbour Australia 🇦🇺
Love this channel. Great job guys.
One thing which came in abundance with your videos are positive vibes 👍
Keep vlogging keep posting 😘
Cruises are the best vacations. Can cover a lot of area without the hassles of land travel!
Yay a new vlog!!!! Can't wait to finish it... already looks awsome!!! 😉😉 have a great day Kara and Nate
