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” while planning our honeymoon & became addicted ;)
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 back home to “normal life.” We started this channel to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with living on the road and found a new passion for capturing our travels through video. So we 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!
After ~2 years of van life, we are back to full time international traveling! And now we are finding the best adventures the world has to offer :)
We are incredibly grateful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎 Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey!

Nearly 10k views in 20min - we clearly missed you guys too xxx
Happy 2024! Hope you’re enjoying your time home ❤️
I am just imagining the excitement of young Kara & Nate, who couldn’t ride a ferris wheel because it wasn’t in the budget, now riding in such immense luxury!!!! 😊❤️
imagine worshipping uttubers
@@palocymasaio I agree that that would be weird, but what makes this comment worshipping?
@@palocymasaioimagine watching an commenting hate and thinking you don’t sound jealous 😂😂😂😂
Yet, here you are@@palocymasaio
im wealthier so your point is void...
I love the innocence in Kara asking “do you think we’re allowed to keep it?” talking about the pijamas, when it was a $9.500 dollar airplane ticket per person 😂😂😂
She’s so wholesome 🤍🤍🥹😂
She really is 🥺❤️✨
That's cause they didn't pay for it. This was just a mediocre advertisement for Air New Zealand. Their "payment" was getting the flight.
Saaaaammmeeee!!! “What have we been doing!?” 😂😂😂😂😂 uuuuhhhh you’ve been fangirling over THE RESIDENCE!!! Although, I’d has been in PJs for the stretchy waistband #FoodPants yes please!!!!

If they weren’t a part of the mile high club before this video, they definitely are now! 😂 That locking door must’ve been amazing
I was thinking how I'd have to make it a priority 😂
Almost worth the money just to cross it off bucket lost
I was thinking the samething, with room like that you don't have try to sneak into the bathroom to do it. LOL
yall are weirdos
@@milesfink3418on god
Normally I can not stand seeing content creators review these first class experiences but you two are so humble and loving. You know what's it like to live in dirt so it makes an experience like this seem magical ❤
Of course I love K&N too, but it needs to be said that these elite travel experiences are the most boring thing on YT. They’ve killed many a travel
vloggers’ channels. They signal the end. Once they start participating in these ads targeting at people who will never be able to travel like this the whole channel becomes irrelevant. K&N , please don’t die! Don’t go into the light!!
Speak for yourself guys as I fly first class and have flown residence 6 times, I enjoy these videos as they help me choose which airlines offer the best experience
I totally agree with this. Most of the videos that they have been making for quite some time now are all first class or high end resorts. Also don't need to see so many daring challenges that are so risky.
Get back to your roots and show us all the wonderful sceneries, views and beautiful people that this vlog started out to be.@@HJPeet
@@HJPeetI love them! I have chronic pain and am disabled and miss travel…not that I would have ever flown most of these lol…and love every bit of it! The places…the transportation….the people…the sights. I love it all!
@@krisb-travelshe is speaking for herself. Hence the “I” before the rest of her comment means she is speaking about herself
I just love how genuine you're with your videos. Doesn't matter if it is 2016 or right now, you guys exude humility and gratefulness and embody the "living in the present moment" vibes, which is really what makes y'all stand out from other content creators! I love you and miss you guys!!!❤❤❤
Vegetarian??...when you can have wagu beef, lobster ....come on??
@@jimsherry7050 can't judge them for their choice. That said, I totally agree, how could you possibly choose a vegetarian option
@@jimsherry7050was way better when they weren’t vegetarians
This is why I still watch them!!! They started from the bottom now they here! So sad it was a short video. We miss you guys
@@jimsherry7050 it's more posh to refuse something that is available and exclusive to you.
Kara is so great with her enthusiasm for the little and big things. Her appreciation for cleanliness in their private bathroom hit so true.
As far as these two have come, they are still the core beautiful humans from day 1.
They deserve all good things.
P.S. Their nieces are absolutely adorable.
She is like the most adorable and beautiful person
I'm so Happy to see Kara smiling back to her normal self. You guys get all the rest you need in between videos, it's well worth the wait to see Kara giddy enjoying living life.

Kara - Talking: 20%
Laughing uncontrollably: 80% 🤣
What a beautiful surprise this morning. The joy and excitement of Kara is so contagious. Thank you for taking us on this fabulous trip. Enjoy the rest of your down time. Hugs
I wonder how many people have joined the mile high club in that suite.🤔
As a person who has unfortunately never gotten to travel, I feel so alive in the moment with you guys traveling as if it’s me traveling with you guys around the world thank you for Creativity.❤

Why have you never gotten to travel?
@@user-dz9jj8et8m Well I don’t know how I feel of sharing personal info like that... but let’s just say it happens and not all are able to travel multiple times a year you know.
These types of ultra luxury experiences are not usually my favorite videos of yours (just more fun to be inspired to visit places and try things that are financially within reach) but the enthusiasm that both of you exude is incredible and we really get the sense of how amazing this experience is even after everything you've both done by now. You've come a long way from the ferris wheel :)
Loved this!! It’s awesome how you’re able to take it all in without any imposter syndrome at all!! Like hanging a $20 jacket in a $15000 suite and LOVING EVERY SECOND. You’re both such great examples of being humble but also, indulging and getting everything out of life! Thanks for sharing with us!
Humm I don’t think you know what imposter syndrome is.
Welcome back and please, keep it both K&N roll-tape friendly, (ah, between 35-40 videos, comfortably) and also, sustainably balanced for y’all’s personal goals and happiness. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride! 🥰✌
My family call me the baby whisperer. I've told serval family members they were expecting a little one before they made the announcement. So I'm going to go out on a limb @Kara and Nate you all may become new parents in the upcoming six-seven months. 🎉
Thank you from a 70 year old lady who travels now vicariously through your adventures. I will never have the opportunity to go to the places you have been. You are the nicest couple online, so kind and sincere when even dealing with strangers. Thank you so very much for posting your video travels.
Kara and Nate = Pure joy. So much gratitude. Unending kindness.
You guys make experiences like this fun and watchable. You don’t have a pompous bone in your body. You appreciate what you are getting to do and don’t take it for granted. Thank you! Can’t wait to see Abu Dhabi.
I’ve watched way too many RUclipsrs review The Residence with an air of pompous superiority, so it’s been a breath of fresh air to see my favourite TravelGeeks get as stupidly excited as I would, given the chance to experience this next level of First Class.
I’d managed to convince myself that I didn’t need to experience this for myself, and then you two come along and ruin it all by reigniting my excitement 😬🤣
Welcome back to RUclips - I missed your videos over the last few weeks ❤
Trek Trendy is the worst. His 50 NASA logos per outfit are hilarious.
@@AllGoodThings2022 TT has the best vids hands down. None of this overly childish giggling and stupidity that these two have. They act like 14 years olds.
“They say the best day of your life is the day you get married. Those are just people that haven’t flown the residence.” That made me lol 😂
The nieces are cute! You’ll have to take them traveling when they get older. ✈️
I'd love to see them travelling with kids! Great content idea K and N!
Reminds me of the beginning of Casey’s Emirates video, he said something similar lol
Can I just say that I love the balance you guys have! You do crazy expensive things like this, but then you also bike across America! I love your channel ❤
its refreshing to see how genuine y'all are in these videos. been following y'all since day one and to see how excited y'all get for these things in your videos after all this time is awesome to see! love how y'all have not become jaded and still get lost in the moment!! favorite RUclips channel of mine for sure! god bless from Texas!
Love seeing you guys back! Hope you got plenty of rest. Also, no need to burn yourselves out anymore, your true fans will always be here whenever you are ready for a new video! ❤
I love how cute and excited you both are and that you never stop being geeked out and appreciative of all these experiences.
This is like, every parents dream when flying. Just let the kids free in your space! thank you Kara and Nate for sharing such a wonderful experience ❤
Just remembering back to Kara and Nates first flight to tokyo, ya'll really stayed the same while continuously giving us the same gold content that we love. Thats what we define as the best when we watch content! No matter if ur in the best flight seat or stranded in an island trying to survive, thank you for bringing us with you.
Kara’s excited reactions made this tour much more fun to watch. Welcome back to YT and good luck vlogging this year!
This should be called the Mile High Club
I didn't figure I was the only one thinking about that! I'm not saying they should have outright been blatant about it (or even said it) - but how about a "cut scene" or something? LOL For $5000 you bet I would have asked for a different meal if I didn't like what I got, and I sure would want to test out the bed (and probably also taken a nap instead of watching TV). But I'm so happy for them that they got to do this. :)
This is a great video. Wow, what an amazing experience you two have had! I say this with no disrespect, but I hope you two TRULY know how lucky you are for this experience. I’m scraping buy just trying to live minute to minute, as are many of us on here. Watching you two live your best life is an escape for me. Life is so hard for so many people right now and for 20 min. we can escape and live vicariously through you. I know you both work extremely hard and I truly believe you deserve all your success. You are respectful, you are informative and you are a delight to watch. Please, never lose your gratitude for the life you have. Safe travels and all the best for 2024
Kara's excitement never bores me, I love how the very fancy things makes her just as excited as the simple things. You guys are so genuine and I love that so much. Wish I had the opportunity to travel as much as you do❤
I love waking up to a Kara and Nate video!! So glad y’all are back
After all the uncomfortable and challenging adventures you've had throughout the years, you SO much deserve these kinds of luxury experiences! Both of you have the same childish happiness and fascination for whatever you do, no matter if it is trying to make a fire on a deserted island, or getting a glimpse into the best of the best experiences that there are. Also, still keeping that "wow!" feeling after travelling to more than 100 countries - and that's why I love your channel... Thanks for bringing us along, I really appreciate it!
...and once again, greetings from Jokkmokk in the snowy north of Sweden! I'd love to see you visit the Jokkmokk market some day, as it would be a unique experience - unlike any of your previous travels. :)
Kara doing the nail polish flaps at the end 🤣
I'm sure the crew loved you guys because you're so full of gratitude and wonder. Have fun on your next adventure!! ❤
I know plenty of people have said it, but Kara’s humbleness, humility, and unashamed excitement over this kind of luxury is soooo refreshing to see. I don’t know you, but you seem so down to earth and I love that.
Some people would pretend to be only mildly interested and blasé about this kinda experience in order to come off as cool and…idk, just used to decadence like this. And then look down on those that show excitement over it. It’s nice to see your humble excitement because that’s exactly how I’d react. ❤
It was so good to see you guys! This was an amazing experience that none of us would probably ever get to enjoy ... if you didn’t take us along with you!
Really loved the at home with the nieces video
adorable. 💞
My weekends have not been the same since y'all took time off but I'm happy you both are taking a much needed break!!
Welcome Back!!! Oh, how I have missed you guys and all of your adventures. You know want I wanted to add? I love the fact that you both always dress so casually and just have the best time EVA on these bougie trips!!!! I always look forward to your content. I live through your trips vicariously. I could never afford the epic trips that you take. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thanks for giving quality travel content for YEARS!! and thanks for not posting half-naked thumbnails for views!!! Can't say a lot of travel channels do it. LOVE THIS channel sooo much!
but no booty or hips to speak of anyhoo.
ummm speak for yourself... mind mind some flesh
@christianhansen3292 uhm Kara is in amazing shape same with Nate.
They work out and take care of their mental health.
Kara’s cheerful disposition is the highlight of the video 😊
LIVE IT UP, K&N! We're all living vicariously through your adventures. Wishing you all the best.
THIS is why I love RUclips: experiencing something that I’d normally never get the chance to experience 😊
Thanks Kara and Nate 🎉
Also, am I the only one who is obsessed with the design of the etihad dishes?
Anyone else love fast forwarding through their ads mid video? I get a little rush of excitement knowing I’m not listening to an ad.
Wow I cannot believe you just typed that out loud……how dare you skip thru them?? Smh
.
.
.
(Sike. Yes, yes I do get that rush of excitement too. Because f*ck ads 🤭)
I'm so glad you all had a little break but the entire time I couldn't stop thinking about what I'm gonna do if/when you all stop making videos ugh it's always the highlight of my weekend!!!!
Thank you for bringing us the full range of adventures. From scary mini bike rides to sleeping with too many crabs, all the while radiating so much joy to us 💯💟
these plane videos are my favorite type of videos! im so scared for flying so seeing u guys fly all of the time, it makes me feel sm better.
Favorite moments: AG1 spot approved by Kara and Nate's nieces ❤ Kara setting off all the automatic things. Lol. Wow. This was an experience for sure. Too bad it was such a short flight. Thank you for the show and tell. Something to strive for in the future! Happy trails guys!
I loved the editing in this video! I could really tell how excited yall were to not only film this for us but make it perfect as well. We love yall!!! 💚
Your joy during this adventure made my heart so happy! You guys deserve it so much!
The sense of achievement nate had in this video increases your hope in life. So happy for you guys
Congratulations guys.🥳🥳. This video shows that you have achieved the pinnacle of the aviation industry now and probably your RUclips career. It's a celebration of how far you have come since you started your RUclips channel. You created a great and a successful channel. Congratulations and many more successes to have in the future.
Welcome back, you’ve been missed and I want to say how grateful I am for the two of you…you allow me to go places I’ll never go 💜
Yes! Traveling vicariously!!
Guys please please please PLEASE arrange a fan meet-up in South Africa! My boyfriend and I religiously watch your videos and will fly to Cape Town (which you're pribably going to) to have a good cup of coffee with Kara and a long run with Nate 😁
2/1/24 I have officially watched every Kara and Nate video. I found you about a month ago and started watching then found out through your videos when you began. I decided to start from the beginning. Through the documentary and the asmr camping video and the first vegemite tasting. Love this channel! Yay possible 100 club
Throughout the years I’ve watched you ever since I discovered you guys during the pandemic - you’ve always expressed humility and joy. You truly deserve the success and enjoyment of these milestones. Thank you for choosing to share it with us. Can’t wait to see more (at your own pace of course :)
I love yalls reviews because it feels so normal and fun like we are there in person with you experiencing it!! 😃
Congratulations Kara and Nate. You guys appreciate everything and always look back to your roots.
Hi Kara and Nate! We love all of your videos. I had surgery yesterday and the nurse tending to me was talking about RUclips. I told her we are hooked on travel you tubes she immediately said do you watch Kara and Nate? I told her we had been watching y’all for years and your our favorites. She and her husband watch all the time as well. I told her I have a fare drop shirt I wear all the time, got one for my husband and son and will get another. Thank you for the great videos!
I love how you guys get so happy about the little things, watching your videos are so calming
“The PINNACLE of aviation” you two better hop on the ultimate world cruise 😂😂😂
So glad you're back!
They not back this is a video from last year they taking a break till sometime in Feb
Awww
It’s amazing to see where the life get you and we are all so incredibly happy for you!!!
Maybe an idea for video! Would be interesting to see @KaraandNate travel to the new country but with the same planning and budget, like it was in the beginning! Like a nostalgic challenge
Im so happy we get a video from you guys today!!! The face Kara made when Nate said "Do we retire?" Was a sneak peak to the next months of relax right?!?! Haha keep relaxing and having fun with the family!
so incredbly wild to see - love that you bring us along for the ride so perfectly every time!! CHEERS!
My weekend is not complete without Kara and Nate video!
Pure excellence as always! Cheers
Kara had me cracking up describing the private bathroom. Its cleannnn, it doesn’t smell like anyone else’s pee, there’s no weird hairs anywhere, or toilet paper on the ground 😂😂
I love Kara's excitement in the video, the joy and genuine reaction makes the video interesting
We are new subscribers!! ❤ (We have been binge watching your videos!!) We love all of your videos and content!! So enjoyed this first class experience with you!! You are our new favs!!!❤️😊
I actually can’t say how much I smiles when I got the notification that u posted a new video
I'm so glad to have you guys back Miss you guys. It's so awesome to live vacuously through you guys I will never be able to have this experience on my own. Can't wait to see what the next adventure holds Love you guys Cheers from Colorado
The fact that ya’ll turned a honeymoon into this level of a luxurious life experience is just incredible!! Well done!!
Welcome back Kara & Nate. What amazing experiences you guys share with us. Kara, did you bring your water shoes for the shower? 😅
lmao the noisiest first class neighbors! the yelps and crashes! 🤣😂 love kara!
It was a lovely surprise to wake up to a video from K&N and wow what experience you took us on. The residence is amazing and something most of us will never get to experience so thank you. I look forward to your next adventure but until then enjoy the rest of your down time ❤✈️
I am so happy for you both…living out dreams…working hard to obtain those dreams. You both are such inspirations. And I am so grateful for you both and the content you bring to us…these places I will never experience in my life time and I am grateful to be able to get a taste of the world thru your eyes. THANK YOU
Keep traveling Kara and Nate, I travel the world thru you. ❤
Damn, those tickets could of paid my students loans.
You guys are like two kids in a candy store. Please keep the love and excitement flowing between the both of you. God Bless you both!!!!
I was thinking, I’ll bet the attendants enjoyed you all appreciating everything. Something tells me most people who do this are not the emoting types 😉. I’m so happy for you two and hope this year brings happiness, health and new joys 🧡🖤🧡
Thought the same thing. I truly hope the flight attendants see more of this than the other. 😊
Kara's excitement over the seats was cute!! ❤️
IM SO HAPPY YOU GUYS ARE BACKKK!!! I’m am hugeeee fan and I hope to be like you guys one day. Enjoyyyyyy and welcome to the Middle East
Thanks to Nate & Kara for taking us out of the lounge room and into your adventure with every episode! I am only a new subsciber so I have got lots to catch up on!👏🥰Happy travels from Australia!🥳
hey kara and nate im just letting you guys know that you have helped me through my depression and struggles i hope you keep on making good youtube videos. cause you guys are the high light of my day night and evening i have been supporting your channel for a while now. :)
They are a good antidote to depression for sure. I grin through every video! 😊
My favorite part is always seeing the amenity kits and jammies! I was actually disappointed tho the kit on this one for the money you spent but the pajamas are the bees knees 🐝! 😂 But…everything about this is spectacular! Oh, and y’all’s nieces are too stinking cute!
This was SO FUN! I wish it was a 17 hour flight LOL -Kari ❤️
I'm so jealous!! Glad to see you back, and once again you lived everyone's fantasy and shared it. Thanks!!
Can I just say how amazing it is to tune back into you guys I was having a really bad day and u guys within the first 30 seconds cheered me up sooo much can't wait for the next update love u both Danielle xxxx
The way you combine top end trips with low rent is what make you special. Loved you X-mas market tour around Europe, but this one was great too.
I always love Kara’s pure excitement. I hope that never goes away. I hope ya’ll enjoyed your break and I can’t wait to see what the year will bring!!!
I love your channel it goes from not showering for days while exercising to luxury showers in the sky . You never know what you will see.
I wasn’t expecting you back for another couple of weeks! So I’m super happy to open RUclips to see your happy smiley faces!!!
Don’t get me wrong, Kara and Nate make fabulous videos and I will watch them all. But, I really miss when they did travel videos for the average Joe. I loved seeing them backpack as cheaply as they could through as many countries as they could. Been following from near the beginning and can’t relate to all of the luxury experiences but love Kara and Nate’s personalities and high quality videos that I will continue to watch where they go
It's just turned into Rich People Doing Rich People Things.
That’s not completely correct. Have of their videos at least are very doable on a small budget. That is kind of what they’re whole Chanel is about
Yeah its becoming the next Sam Chui, Trek Trendy, Counting Countries, Nonstop Dan etc
@@JFKXD-zd8sh in their defence those are great channels just probably not doable by most Americans unless they really get into that stuff.
You’re bacccccckkkkk!!! No lie I’ve been watching some of your early ones lately because I miss you guys. Also so funny to see little Kara and Nate.. I still can’t stop laughing when yall were in Ukraine (?) and that guy held up a hammer and took a bite of Nate’s hot dog and then made his female friend take a bite too 😂😂😂😂😂
I’ve only just found your channel and I’m obsessed with you both! I think I’ve nearly watched about 200 of your videos already! Your energy is radiant and infectious! You 2 are both incredibly inspiring, authentic and also very funny! So happy I can live vicariously through your travel vlogs!! I love your love for adventure and also your love for each other! You 2 are awesome😊😊
Well that’s just about the nicest comment ever! Thank you for the love Sarah 🥰💗
@@KaraandNateyour positivity is amazing! The way Kara talked about the masseuse and she’s got Nate 😂😂
Awesome video as always Kara and Nate. The next step up from here is y'all's own private jet. This was a awesome flight just as Kara said if only it was a ling flight.
You two are just the best. You put so much work and thought into your content. It takes something special and a humility to film experiences like these and make your audience happy for your rather than jealous of you :) I grin non-stop through these videos and just wish you two all the best. Good for you for taking some time off in 2024. It's challenging being your own bosses in a way that's hard to appreciate. Thank you for the content and happy new year.
I don't get to travel much right now, but you are the nicest people to travel vicariously with! Thank you for sharing all this with us.❤
I am glad you took a break. I know, from personal experience, how hard that level of travel can be on a person. I was so happy to see in your New Year video that you would rest. I felt Kara's need for rest. While I really enjoy all of your work, I also want to know that you are both happy and healthy. I hope this new year is filled with fun for you both.
I'm flying business class for the first time on Turkish Airlines in April, paid for with points. Your channel is how I learned about travel hacking, so thank you!!
If I could fly like this, I'd go all the time😂❤
Normally ff AG1, but had to watch the whole thing for super cute Gali and Hosanna (I think that's right)!
Wow what a video to kick off the year! Etihad residence just absurd luxury. I mean I didn't think it could get better than Singapore and Emirates. Your own apartment in the sky just wild! Congrats on the experience!
My wife and I flew from Cairo on business class and had our own private lounge in the airport and was blown away at how we where treated. Not sure I can fly any other way.
