    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!

    I love that you're eating spätzle in France instead of Germany. It is actually a german tradition. It has roots in the south of germany. We also say "schwäbische Spätzle". Also every Glühwein is also different at every place you buy it. Thats my experience. You can try 2 different Glühwein at one christmas market.

    I'm English and have driven all over Europe and Scandinavia, and each time I'm there I'm reminded of how fantastic the whole continent is - locations, food/drink and people. I've not done a Christmas market tour but I have spent a few wonderful Christmases in Poland. I almost think that not knowing the language or the local customs is better than knowing them because you can experience the whole thing with that childish wonder.
    Watching this series makes me want to take off in my car and visit some of these places you guys have. I'm not long back from NY where the Rockefeller tree competed with the Dior clock for the most Christmassy things anywhere but these European markets are ramping up the whole celebration to greater heights.

These trips are so relatable, and watching your adventures has me seriously considering a visit to Salzburg next year to experience the Christmas Market magic for ourselves.

I've been a bit obsessed with Strasbourg for many years, as I loved the German influence (and gorgeous architecture) on the scenic waterfront of France. It was like the best of both countries, with a little bit of Italy thrown in. So imagine my delight to see that so far Strasbourg ranks top of your list! This will definitely be on my bucket list of places to go. Once at Christmas, and ones in the Spring/Summer when everything is in bloom. Thank you guys for taking me there! ❤

      Ngl people here in Germany are not happy about it either. To be fair though there is a huge amount of construction going on atm, in order to expand the railway network. Still not the best excuse to not being punctual. Hoping it improves in the future. If trains are punctual its an awesome mode of transport though and you have no chance of travelling the same distance by car in a similar time.@@rickycoker5830

    I've seen those filter-in-the-cup coffee cups in, of all places, on board Ryanair flights. I'm really enjoying this series. They are much more down-to-earth and easier to relate to. Great work guys.

    Yay ! Glad Strasbourg was your winner for this episode ! Maybe next year you could do a tour of the Christmas markets in France ! In Alsace there are loads of local Christmas markets in Colmar, Kaysesberg, then in other regions they vary like in Provence nativity scenes are really different and food also is ^^ Paris is also nice in December !! Have a great European Christmas adventure !

    Woo Hoo! (As Kara would say)
    I mentioned the idea of doing a train journey through Europe next year, visiting the various Christmas markets. And she said Yes! What a great idea Chris. (And no, I haven't put her straight that it was you guys that gave me the idea.) So keep that on the down low while I bask in the glow for the time being. If we have half as good a time as you two always seem to have, then I'll be overjoyed, and so will she, which makes it Double Happy. We will be going to Gothenburg, then flying south, then using the train. Strasbourg is already on the list, and it looks like a great choice. Can't wait for Part 3

    I never comment on RUclips videos, but I lived in Strasbourg in the early 00’s and I was there over Christmas. It was truly the most magical place. The cathedral Christmas market was actually my least favorite. Every little neighborhood has a “place” and most of those little “places” have a Christmas markets. My favorite was Place Kleber. It was so homey and beautiful. I’m so happy to have seen the place where I left my heart.
