About

We’re Matt & Nat, a part-time, non-remote travel couple based out of Nashville, TN. We launched in 2021 by visiting all 50 US states & documented our entire journey on our Blog & here on YouTube! After spending a full year focused on such a defined goal, in 2022 we continued our travels in the US and abroad. On one of our trips, we came across the #1 New York Times bestseller book “1,000 Places to See Before You Die” and were immediately drawn in and knew that it had to be a part of our adventures. With the book serving as inspiration, in January 2023 we launched a new series where we’ve now set out to see as many of the “1,000 Places To See Before You Die”… before we die! We hope you’ll join us on the adventure & find some adventures of your own along the way! For Business Inquiries: [email protected]
