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. 😊🎥🌎

Aw you guys - we had the BEST time with you! You were such champions on the second half of the week when everything started to go wrong 😂
We couldn't have asked for better, kinder, lovely friends ❤There's always room in Custard the bus for you pair, Craig and Aimee xXx
I am sooo flipping thankful for Kara and Nate. The first time I saw you and Craig's videos, I fell in love! I love you guys and have binged all your vids. I Always laugh . Love to you from Florida ❤️
Subscribed. I'm so happy that y'all did this collab! Your stories are so inspirational.
Amazing bus, amazing hosts, amazing guests and amazing videos can't ask for anything more! Cheers from a -41°Celcius day in Canada. 💙❄💙❄💙
Can't wait for the next adventure lads!!!!!
Everyone go watch the part 2 madness NOW! 😍 ruclips.net/video/OP_CwWqM3co/видео.html
@Kara and Nate Already at the hot tent part 😆 ❤️
This is not just a travel review channel....This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old woman. 👍🥰🥰
Actually it's just a travel channel
@@RadarProductions 🤣
💯 just facts! You highlight so many important things and make us aware of a lot of things that we could never even dreams off! We love you ! Great job the both of you have a different role on this and for that and your hard work and love for this you make this channel so enjoyable!
My grandma watches them…..
And that's why Kara and Nate is so big. They do some reviews of travels, but they show off where they go as well!
Kara and Nate in 2 years: We made it to the Moon !
Thank you both for inspiring and helping me to create cool travel videos, it helped me boosting up my travel page to over 1k sub finally 😊😊✨✨
😆
🤣😂
Working on that one…gonna need a few more sponsorships ;)
Omggg they have to. If a RUclipsr is going to do it is has to be them!!
No no no! They’re on Mars taking pictures with the rovers! 😂
The contrast between the fanciest plane or train ride and the pitfalls and pratfalls of bus life in an ice storm is insane, but your attitude and gratitude during each is what makes you two epic travelers. Doesn't matter if you're roughing it or living the high life, you're the same and having a great time. That's what makes you two, Craig and Aimee, and Eamon and Bec the most fun to watch and even more awesome when you're together. Love it so much.
Craig and Aimee have such great senses of humor. Love their channel.
Kinging-It should have as many subs as Kara & Nate and Eamon & Bec. Easily my top 3 travel vlog channels and the fact they are all friends and do collabs only makes me love them all more!
Being from northern Norway having polar nights, it's safe to say we are VERY excited to see the sun again! 💛😁🇳🇴 Love you Kara and Nate!
It really helps you appreciate it all over again ☀️
can you explain what exactly is polar nights
I’m so eralyyyyy
@@Sameerahuja662 Ice blast where everything freezes x
@@Sameerahuja662 It is light, but it comes from the side, so you don't see the sun. I think? Greetings from Finland🙂
"That was a lot of fun until it wasn't fun anymore."
-Kara- 2023
Story of my life.
I truly believe there is not any other channel that compares to Kara and Nate. These videos are edited and made so well, the music, the drone shots, just everything makes me love this channel more and more. Kara and Nate are some of the most kind hearted people on the platform and every Saturday morning I wake up and see what crazy thing you guys have planned. Love yall.
YESSS I TOTALLY AGREE
Kara’s words of wisdom….”That was a lot of fun until it wasn’t fun anymore”. So, things are fun as long as they are fun.
🤣
I'm so happy you're showing Kinging It some love on this channel! I knew you were friends before and have been looking forward to these episodes bc Craig & Aimee are awesome!!! Everybody go subscribe now if you haven't already, their winter vanlife vids are honestly the best they've done so far and I've watched all their vids starting from the Mongol Rally!!! The 4 of you are just so great, it makes me so happy to see you all enjoying life together for a short time.
Dear Kara and Nate
I am 13. I am half Greek half Irish but I live in Greece
I would like to tell you that you are a massive inspiration for me. I remember the first time I watched you when you were in Zurich. Since then I've watched nearly every episode. I have always wanted to go to Norway, especially Bergen and Tromso.
Hope you see this😃
Hi! Thanks for watching our videos 🤍 Hope you get to go to Norway soon!! 🤗
@@KaraandNate Thank you so much for replying. I hope I can meet you once
@@Greekshipvideosbykimon I hope you get to meet Kara and Nate!!!!
@@bethb7965 Thank you so much!
I’m 13 too! It’s nice to know there are viewers that are a similar age!!
I love getting to watch your videos, Kinging It and Eamon & Bec all in one day! It is amazing that you all have created these great friendships through the world of RUclips.
It really is amazing. Hard to imagine life without them now ❤
👍🏻💙🌊🥶🚐🥶🧊
My bf was out mowing the lawn until I called him & said “It’s tiiimeeee!”
In the meantime while I’m waiting for him I’ve made him a quad espresso, mines next😍
Love, Love, Love Kara & Nate! We never miss a video!❤️❤️
@My Beautiful life www.yallsaveusa.com/2023/02/travel-makeup-brush-holder-silicon.html
I'm from Vesterålen right above lofoten and i got so homesick watching this as i now live in finland 🥺❤️
You guys never fail to amaze us with your crazy adventures ❤
💃🏻🤗
I'm always so happy when you do collabs with the same RUclipsrs that I routinely watch, and this week it's a double dose of you guys and Kinging It! :)
I love going to bed on a nice Friday night and being able to watch a brand new kara and nate video
saturday 😂😂
Craig and Aimee are LEGENDS - LOVE THEEEEEM! Love the video!!
I love how Kara and Nate are just so dynamic. Luxury beyond luxury but also do deserted island life. They are up for anything but truly enjoy every moment of it.
Tromso has been high on my travel list to visit for a while. I love how that van is all windows, feels very wide open to the outside world. Kudos for getting in that freezing cold water and catching some waves. Greetings from the Himalayas of India, where it's surprisingly warm compared to your ice rink roads in Norway.
It's wonderful!
I love when Kara and Nate meet up with van life people and their friends, perfect opportunity to follow another channel of amazing people exploring the world and living life to the fullest.
Remember your video of Finland and the polar ice breaker you did? After all these years, I finally got to go do it too. Was the BEST! We had a lot of fun, got great pics. Thanks
I love Aimee's wigs! I love seeing her match different hair with outfits.
Kara & Nate, You guys are literally THE ONE & ONLY RUclipsrs that I’ve watched consistently over many years and I’m still just as excited for your new videos today as I was when y’all first started posting! Your content is always on point and y’all are always upbeat, honest about your experiences and we’re all so grateful to have you guys share your awesome journeys with us. We love being able to live vicariously through you two. Over the years I’ve found plenty of RUclipsrs that I liked and I’d subscribe to and watch their videos but unfortunately, my interest in them would quickly fizzle out. With your channel, I’m just as excited (if not more) for the new videos as I was for the earlier ones, like the 100 Countries videos! As a subscriber it’s been amazing watching you two grow up together and watch your relationship grow and evolve together. Thank you for allowing us to share in your journey!!!
"That was a lot of fun until it was
wasn't fun anymore" killed me she's so funny 🤣
It looked a little painful! Lol
Y’all are nuts. There is no way I could ever get in that water and surf.
I loved it when Amy said can you give us a kiss on the head as well
😂😂😂❤
Pleaaase please please bring back the van life. I never felt more connected to a channel while watching y’all do van life. I love seeing you guys overcome the challenges. I often binge those videos of you guys in van life ❤
okay I'm literally peeing my pants with laughter OMG Craig and Aimee are amazing - I love those two - they should get their own comedy show! lol Glad you all had a great time!
This was the best video series yet. Did not believe that boat had such nice rooms extra. I like how you are both so natural about slipping and falling on the ice. Trying to carry the surfboards. I am glad no one got hurt. I laughed the most I have laughed in a long time. Thank you 😀 just what I needed.
You should visit Mt Washington, NH! Just broke the coldest US temp record at -108F 🥶🥶🥶
Seeing you 4 together makes my heart happy! So much love, laughter and Genuine kindness❤
Yes! I love this crossover 🥰. Both such wonderful couples. Full of positivity and up for an adventure. Can't wait for part 2.
The entire surf scene I was dying. The wind, the wipeouts, the frozen faces 🤣
It's so fun to see the reactions :D
Winter surfing does indeed sap you and you only feel it once you're in your chill clothes chillin and eating afterwards. It's the best kind of tired.
Winter surfing is extra fun I think because of the feeling of mastery you get (the entirety of the situation) and the "good tired" afterwards.
But yeah I loved watching this, especially because it brings back great memories.
Thank you guys, that was one of the funnest and funniest vids I've seen in a long time! 😂
watching Kara getting swept across the beach and then being rescued by Aimee ha me laughing out loud.
Hope you enjoyed the rest of your time together as much when you weren't recording! 💜best wishes to all of you from Oxfordshire UK - Suzanne
How fun, so awesome that you guys got to connect! The surfing looked SO cold🥶 And I love all of her wigs, too cute! Can’t wait to see the rest of the trip on their channel!
Stay you✌🏼
Incredible🏅Forever world record! Elite air travel to swim with big brain giants then living in a freakin movable ICEBOX in a blizzard 🥶 🎯
Craig and Aimee's channel is amazing! Perfect mix of adventure and goofy-ness. So happy about this collaboration.
I'm so happy you guys are exploring my home country!! Hope you're enjoying it so far
You are the first travel duo I started watching few years back and it's thanks to you that I know and love now KinginIt, Eamon&Bec, Raya&Louis and few more. This travel/vanlife videoes are my favourite, not at all gulty, pleasure. And when you meet up with eachother it makes me extremely happy.
I totally agree about the sun...we lived in Alaska for five years and I had someone tell me YOU need a sunlamp...you are grumpy. I live in the desert now and I'm not grumpy anymore! :) I have those blind in my bedrooms...I like them too. Thanks for the laugh...slide away.... lol
Love that you guys visited Norway for over a month. Please come back another time =)
Very excited to watch this Kara and Nate & Kinging-it special!!! Absolute FAVS.
Well, I received a lesson in loyalty today. 🤣 I'm so glad the 4 of you made friends and share these epic videos!! Thanks for introducing me to Eamon and Bec who led the way to the other beautiful souls in this video! KINGING IT 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️! We love you KARA AND NATE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Laughed so much watching Kara sliding across the ice 🤣🤣 and Amy sliding to the rescue! ! 🦸🏼♀️ 😂
Hey there 🤗🤗 thanks for promoting their content as you do it with Eamon and Bec. I started watching you and then discover them through your channel. You might be interested to have a look at the van configuration of Tripping Around & Bogdan Pricope. You’ll not understand the language but you definitely can see brilliant ideas, especially that they are leaving in their van for over a year with their adorable dog ❤
When your faces were frozen it reminded me of the film Christmas with the Kranks when he had Botox 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣💘💘
I adore Kinging It. You guys are all amazing. Best collab ever. ♥️
When every I’m sad I just watch your videos go got me through some tough stuff!! Xxx
So much fun, enjoy, try to stray warm.
So excited to watch this! Sending you lots of love! ❤
🤗🤍
My husband and I just booked a full-day trip to explore the Italian Riviera by train through Viator for our anniversary!
Also, if ya'll ever need a place to stay in Aix-En-Provence, France hit us up :)
Oh how fun! Chloe loves watching Amy. So much fun to see you all together!
I’m glad you two get to enjoy traveling the world. You both get are able to be financially stable enough to do this. Keep having fun and always explore this beautiful planet that we call home!!
I love watching both of your channels. Seeing you together again in an episode warms my heart. Hopefully another collaboration again in the future (including Eamon & Bec).
Absolutely love you guys! I love how you and Nate prioritize each other and your marriage, and push each other to do things out of your comfort zones. Best channel on RUclips by far. Thanks Kara and Nate!
That looked SO cold and the sauna a BIG disappointment. Yet you stayed smiling! Impressive.
Dear kira and Nate
Thank you for creating such amazing content but most of all thank you for being kind, warm hearted, caring & inspirational people.
I love how spontaneous and brave you guys are SURFING IN THE ARTIC?! I also love when you visit these cold countries or go on super cold cruises it’s such a difference to a typical sunny countries beach vlog and so much more fun to watch!!
Who knew arctic surfing was even a thing???? So glad you’re enjoying our cold series 😅
Loved this video and seeing you all together. Literally laughed out loud a few times during the surfing! Can’t wait to watch Craig and Aimee’s now!
This video rekindles the love of watching you both stay in different unique places and giving us a tour.
My favourite mash-up ever - my 2 favourite youtube channels rolled into one!
Hi Kara and Nate, I discovered your channel 5 years ago, and from the very first video, I watched I fell in love with your content. you have been my favourite RUclipsr ever since. I loved your " visiting 100 countries " series and I hope you continue it and visit all countries of the world. I live in Cyprus and I would love for you to revisit Cyprus and see how different southern Cyprus is from the Turkish-occupied side.
Craig and Aimee are just the best! Big hearts and sooo funny 💕💕 The kinda of friends everyone wished they had! Kara & Nate you are very lucky 🍀 (I might add you are not too bad yourselves 😅😂😜) take care everyone… last week episode was my favourite you ve ever made what a treat!!! thank you 🙏🏼 I LOVE Norway 🇳🇴 ❤❤❤❤
Have fun Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
I love Craig and Aimee, they're just so down to earth and funny!
Who else watching is Norwegian? ❤
I haven’t laughed this hard in so long. My stomach hurts but I enjoy it so much watching you too and thank you for taking me on your travels.
The best feeling ever!!!
Agreed
So exciting 😀
Back in the 80's my parents were in a van club, Phantom Vans, where they would all get together and do events, like camping trips, fund raisers, etc. My mom was the spokes person who would go on local tv and present the cheque on the telethon. My dad had a sparkly royal blue Chevy Van that he had built out to use while camping. It had all sorts of pin striping on the outside and each of my parents had their names under the window where they sat up front. It was called Rolling Blue. He use hydraulics to turn the bed he made into a bench for my brother and I to safely ride, with one touch of a button. It had a little kitchenet with a sink, fridge and food and dish storage. Lots of storage under the bed for camping gear. It was all made with teak wood and nice fabrics, good speakers, and hidden storage for weed lmao. So many fond memories.
Craig & aimee sound like fellow welshies, that's earned a sub! They seem like really cool guys!
Yay!!! Every Friday night I get all excited because I know next day I'll be watching Kara and Nate !!!! My kids and I watch it on the big screen. Thank you guy's for making our Saturdays fun and special!!!!!
I LOOOOVE families who watch together!!!😊
We love you guy's 🥰
This is so cool!! I’ve been binge watching Kinging it Norway series, and is the best seeing you guys together!! 😀
Their winter bus life series has been CLASS👌🏼
@@KaraandNate yes!!! One of their best series!!
I watch both of your channels have done for quite a while now ….. you’re all great people and I thank you for giving me such insights into countries I have visited ( and not) in such an innovating way You are fun loving guys and I always get excited when I see your vlogs come up on my screen…. And Kates laugh wonderful 🎉😂❤

always look forward to these videos! makes my day :)
🤍🤍🤍
Kara I feel like these are turning into Try not to laugh videos haha. As someone who moved from Idaho a few months ago, I can definitely relate to the cold and slipping everywhere. Thanks for the wonderful adventures!
You guys should eat the famous food of Norway. Called perse lompe witch is a potato flatbread with a sausage on top.
Oh Gosh! Your frozen faces.... The laughter you spark is healing! My face aches from smiling~😂TY, TY, TY!❤
You can't try van life in Northern Europe this time of the year without feeling miserable, for as adventurous and cool as one may think it is I sure wouldn't wanna be there right now!🥶
Agreed
this looks like sooooo much fun!! just so you know, 30 degrees is really warm for me and my family - we are in minnesota and for the last week it has been -25!! this was such an awesome video and you guys do such awesome stuff! also, you should respond to this comment just for fun! i would love that:)
I don't want to go surfing when it's 30, but I expected well below zero F. Thirty is hoodie weather.
Agree guys….my wife and I have use Viator a dozen times across the world during our travels! They have never let us down! Great Video this week btw!
One of my favorite videos you have ever made. Just positive energy nonstop.
Just found you guys and caught myself smiling and laughing the whole way through! Great job! 😊
I love how you guys are so happy and energetic ❤
I love Craig and Aimee!! They are the best. Seriously if you have never seen their videos go watch them. They are an absolute hoot!
I wait for these videos and every time its so worth the anticipation. Me and my brother have been watching Kara and Nate since they started and now were still just as excited for them and by them. We live vicariously through them and it couldn’t be better .
Looks so cool, Norway is so beautiful. Love seeing you guys with Kinging-it
Oh wow you are all crazy 😂😂😂😂 thank you again for another adventurous video ❤❤
I cannot take Kara serious with the wig on 😂😂
pretty cool to see Kara and Nate drag their bags through the city where I live
Love y'alls friendship and two of our favorite RUclips channels we love watching. The winter surfing was so funny.🤣We agree Kinging-it Bus build is so good.
You all by far are the channel I’m most loyal to. I found you all years ago because of your Maldives video and I haven’t missed an episode since! I would love to see you all revisit the Maldives and maybe switch up the accommodations and do some great snorkeling video for us, that’d be awesome! Love you alls couple energy! Any who, awesome video and I can’t wait to tune in to your next adventure!!!🤎🫶🏾🤎
You guys are so amazing! I look forward every week to seeing a video from you guys!! 💓

Thank YOU for watching!💗
I'm in the first 700 viewers! It's been SOOO long since I've been this early. I am usually buried in the comments never getting to see to light of day. Can't wait to watch this! Love you guys!
Woohoo! Enjoy ☕️🤗
