Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the #travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this #travelvlog to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling! After achieving our new goal of 100 countries before 2020 and all 7 continents, we have no plans to slow down anytime soon, and we are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

We've run into to several issues since buying our converted sprinter van, but this was by far the scariest. As I say at the beginning of this video, I realize I made some bad decisions in this situation that put us in danger. Thankfully, we are both fine, and we have learned from the experience.

Who are Kara and Nate?!
Watch our documentary here:

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married 2013 and were super “normal.” I was a teacher and Nate started a small business from the spare bedroom of our apartment. We discovered the world of “travel hacking” & became obsessed. So after 2 years of 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 rean 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. ????????????

Minivan Camping Across America with my dog | Part 1

In September 2021, I drove across America alone with my dog from New Jersey to Washington in my DIY Toyota Sienna Minivan Camper. We spent 29 days (7,545 miles) on the road. We have no fixed plans of how long and where to stay overnights. Our main goal is to visit some of the most beautiful and EPIC landscape of Wyoming, Montana and Washington. Finding overnight stay was part of the adventure.

See link below for the DIY Minivan Camper I used in this trip.
