This adventure has been on our bucket list since we got married over 10 years ago, so our hopes and expectations were through the roof! But we are so happy that it lived up to the hype. We truly can't believe we got to have this experience and are so grateful for the opportunity to take this trip of a lifetime! Thank you for watching. We hope you enjoy watching these incredible wildlife encounters :) <br />

Who are Kara and Nate?! <br />
Watch our documentary here: www.youtube.com/watch <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
We discovered the world of “travel hacking” while planning our honeymoon & became addicted ;)<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
After ~2 years of van life, we are back to full time international traveling! And now we are in our 9TH YEAR of finding the best adventures the world has to offer :) <br />
<br />
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!<br />
