6.5 YEARS OF FULL-TIME TRAVEL (Everything We Pack & Own)
Kara and Nate
@karaandnateAbout
Hey, y'all! We are a husband and wife from Nashville, Tennessee. We started our YouTube channel on a whim when we decided to take a year off & go travel back in 2016. 1 year quickly turned into 4, & at the very end of 2019 we stepped foot in our 100th country. If you want a quick summary of that journey you can watch the documentary here - https://bit.ly/41TbOKJ Shortly after achieving our 100 country goal, the pandemic hit. With travel no longer an option, we bought converted a van & spent 2 years traveling around the U.S. At the beginning of 2022, we moved out of the van & back into our suitcases full-time. We're not exactly sure what our next "goal" is going to be, but we're currently having fun bouncing around the globe chasing our passions & interesting stories.

Watch our documentary here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuFv4iF8wgg&t=1s 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. 😊🎥🌎 00:00 FINALLY: our first packing video :) 00:28 Why we’ve waited so long... 02:10 our most recent game changer purchase! 03:04 Answering your biggest questions 03:24 How much do our bags weigh? 03:53 Do we have a house?
