We discovered the world of “travel hacking” while planning our honeymoon & became addicted ;) 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 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. 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! After ~2 years of van life, we are back to full time international traveling! And now we are in our 10TH YEAR of finding the best adventures the world has to offer :) 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! 0:00 our 111th country! 3:07 day 1 9:53 Solitaire 12:52 crazy trees and climbing dunes 21:32 day 3 truck tour 24:00 Sleeping under the stars 28:00 Dramatic evening 33:35 Tropic of Capricorn 35:35 Wavlis Bay 37:00 Swakopmund 38:54 Camping on the beach 42:22 Skeleton coast 44:41 World’s largest seal colony!!! 48:04 Self drive safari 52:35 Kara’s driving… 1:01:38 Rhino drama 1:03:14 Final thoughts 1:05:20 bloops

Not Charlie walking from his room over to your room wrapped in a blanket carrying his coffee just to be with his friends 😂😂😂
As a proud-born-and-raised Namibian - thank you! It is rare to have people show off my country with so much joy, kindness and sense of adventure. Glad you enjoyed our stars!
Started watching you guys when I was in 8th grade and now I’m about to be a senior in college. Slowly approaching half of my life watching your videos!
The "little brother energy" Charlie brings to the group is so fun to watch!
When you cut to Charlie dealing the bugs on his bed I lost it. Cry laughing is so good. Thanks!
There's a secret happiness ingredient in every Kara and Nate video. You will get happier 👍 It can't be explained - it just works.
after 15 years in east Africa I can say - even though you didn't see a leopard - they definitely saw you!
Love you guys but love you guys with Charlie even more! I think he should be a permanent member of the team. Kara and Nate and Charlie!
I've been watching y'alls Youtube for about 5 years now. I was having a panic attack and tried putting on so many things to help me calm down. Even comforting cartoons from when I was a kid. This video was the only thing that worked. My anxiety is slowly going away as I'm watching this. Thank you so much for your content. It's officially a comfort show for me now.
I am really glad you put in that it was hours of driving and searching for moments of awesomeness. I think most people these days just think everything is a given and that what you saw was continuous. Even though people keep saying social media is just the highlight, I don't think it sinks in. Thank you for taking us along.
Had the pleasure of randomly meeting Kara and Nate in the DEN security line earlier this week. They are absolutely delightful and told them they inspired my EBC trek. My only mistake (pointed out by my wife and daughter) was not inviting them to dinner so the rest of the family could meet them. Safe travels guys! Y’all are the best.
Im Namibian and it’s so beautiful to see people come from afar and appreciate our Country so much! where the dunes meet the ocean and the souls remember how to roam, where the wild feels like home, our little paradise on earth! loved watching you enjoy probably one of the most memorable places on this rock we call Earth.
Good to see you guys crashing out with Charlie again, seems like such a fun guy. We haven’t seen him on your show in ages, didn’t know if he was still out traveling the world or in a prison in Georgia! 😂
I just screamed "CHARLIE!!!" When i saw him!!! 0:11. Been watching since Everest Base Camp and am so glad y'all found a life long friend in him !
Charlie needs a Kara who loves to go on similar adventures. Nate is so lucky that his love loves to go too. Kara is so brave and such a great companion. ❤
Seeing you two with Charlle, I had this feeling in my belly of remembrance and thinking 'why am I having this reaction?' Then it hit me, Charlie and the two of you; shenanigans, belly laughs, wit, easy company, camaraderie , brought up memory feelings of Lee with Eamon and Bec (especially their Morocco trip) - and I felt happy to see this kind of chemistry and friendship on the screen again and also deeply sad that Lee isn't earthly anymore. Thanks for sharing your friendship and this beautiful trip with all of us and RIP dear Lee.
Nate at Marathon des Sables: If I never camp in a tent in the desert again I would be fine with that Nate in Namibia: goes camping in the desert in a tent Welcome back, Charlie!!
I freaking LOVE Charlie!!! Does he also have a channel? If not PLEASE Charlie create your own channel if you can’t travel full time with Kara & Nate! He is absolutely hilarious! 😂😂
Over an hour long video!! Yes please!! LOVE how much you guys laugh when Charlie is around. You 3 are just the best of friends and I absolutely am here for it!
I think we need a ten year anniversary of Kara and Nate traveling video in January 2026! Maybe a then and now video?
