The real question is: what does it look like when you are trying for a beach bod? I’m sure it’d look a lot like what I eat.

Dude, you were *not* being a diva. You were misled about the accommodations, and you needed something else. It's that simple. You had every right to ask for it to be canceled. Don't feel bad because you may have inconvenienced someone, when they clearly didn't care that they were inconveniencing you.

They do such an amazing job covering everything. I like that they have decided to use the label travel journalists because that is exactly what they are. They cover things way better than many other you tubers.

This is actually very common. The price is always super low so HUGE RED FLAG if the price is low and it looks so nice.

Kara and Nate, this may be a good time to ask again for a nice airbnb Q and A episode. I'd love to hear your tips on how to book the good ones, and maybe some stories about your best and worst experiences. I am an airbnb host, and I hope this episode hasn't put my fellow viewers off on airbnb. Most of us hosts try really hard to create a good experience for you. Two tips for new airbnb users: read the listing description completely and read all the reviews! Sorry you got a bum one this time, Kara and Nate!

Bindiya J I’ve tried to use Airbnb 2 times and it did not workout for me. Unfortunately I had two bad hosts back to back so I’m never using the service again. Not trying to discourage you but it really does depend on how great of a host you have and if they are honest about their accommodations. Good luck!

Georgina Willms good eye!! I didn’t notice her at first lol

So not a Diva! You are giving valuable information!! I love the at you said, "I'm not even mad because I'm learning something." To me, that's inspiring! You said great things about the people at Air BnB and the people on the island. Think back to your first year and finding a nice hotel in Marrakesh (I think that was it) You handled it so differently!! You still found the silver lining!!!

The reason I prefer K&N over any other travel vlogger that I have come across is the transparency they had promised to show in the beginning of the journey and still continue to do so, instead of painting a pretty picture. There are always situations like this IRL and am so glad that they took a brave face through it, the reason why they are so relatable. Maybe they didn't record the everything, maybe they control their reactions for the camera, but in the end they showed it and that's why I love them and follow them ♥️🙌

Totally with you guys on this one. Table, AC, internet, comfort is vital for those work weeks! Shady AF they swapped the listings/rooms on you... We would have done the same.

OMG, guys... you are anything BUT Divas!! You guys are so understanding, patient and kind, considering you were the victims of false advertising! You absolutely have the right to expect the accommodations you were shown. The hosts were hard to deal with after the fact because they knew they were being shady like. I'm so glad that you found a nice place! Traveling is ALWAYS an adventure. Drama, although frustrating, does make for interesting content! Love you guys! 💗💗

Glad you cancelled. They were scamming by not showing the actual pictures of the place. They did not deserve the fee. I hope AirBNB deals with their dishonesty so others don’t get sucked in. Good job! But you kept positive in the video. And glad it all worked out

You made the best of a bad situation. Your positive attitude will always get you through the uncomfortable times. You are an inspiration to me and others. Thanks for making my day!

When I flew from Cuba back to Miami, it honestly was the quickest customs experience I have ever had. No questions. Super easy. Kara - you are hilarious. Between your “working on my beach bod” and the little maracas dance you do when you eat something yummy, you always keep us laughing. ❤️ this vlog!!

Did anyone notice that at 3:16 the woman who was walking behind them was waving and smiling towards the camera? I found that funny.

You are totally right about the Airbnb support staff. We've contacted them as hosts and as guests and they are always freaking amazing! They're so helpful and nice and they get things figured out quickly. 👌

ok, so i found you guys like 6 months ago an since then i have been binge watching your videos. I have caught up now, so im gunna need you guys to release about another 100-150 videos for me to keep binge'in cause i cannot get enough. Thanks ! :P also Hi

Loved the super cheerful lady that photobombed you in the Miami airport, and laughed at Kara's "working on my beach bod" as she laughed and ate her cookie.

I love watching you guys skip around the world! Please don't ever stop traveling!

i love how Kara is still talking and Nate going, " common let's go I don't wanna stay here" I was laughing so hard lolllll that's like me telling my mom I wanna get out of a fish restaurant.. haha

I love that Kara laughs at her jokes the hardest. That's a mood.

Secret of KARA's happiness 😊 = Airport Lounge

Since that guy from the Airbnb said to call them directly, I would give them a negative 👎 comment for sure. They wasted your time, they lied 🤥 and you both really needed this. 🤩😇😍 I’m loving 🥰 each video I’ve been watching for 3 days now. Lol 😂 still sick 🤕 but healing.

you were being so kind and patient....omg i would have LOST it !!! :)

Having traveled internationally for several decades, I respect your videos which are both realistic, and bring back some very fond memories. Both the good, and interesting (change of plans) events that happen with international travel. Keep up the the awesome work.

Loved this vlog! And that ride from the airport? That's called hitchhiking lol! I have not watched you guys in a while and now I'm back! Thanks for all your hard work and documenting your travel-even fails! Can you imagine if travel went exactly perfect? How boring would that be.

You guys have honestly inspired me to get out there and travel. I’ve been watching your videos non-stop ever since I discovered your train video of travelling via train in India from a while back. I watched your Peruvian mountain pod video while in the bath drinking tea, your Siberian Trans Railway series as I eat dinner or finish school work, and so many other cool videos. Each one of them is an absolute gem, and it’s just so inspiring and fills me with joy. I’m going to England in April and I’m from Canada so it’s a big step for me! I’m so excited! Thank you for everything guys!

You handled it perfectly, you needed better accommodations, we all would have done the same thing. Happy you got a comfortable place to work on the videos. Love the channel!

You don't have to apologize. I love how humble you guys are and that you do apologize because you don't want to seem like divas or to offend anyone. But the point of the matter was - you never said anything bad about that AirBnB other than it's not what you expected and it wasn't really suitable for the work you intended to do there. Glad you were able to talk to the support team and get out of it and find somewhere else to stay at the last minute. You guys are always so positive and make the best of bad situations!

This is so random, first of all, I love your videos! You guys are amazing! You’ve seen so much of this world 😍 second, my favorite thing to do in your videos is look at the reactions of other people watching you talk to a camera🤣 some of them are hilarious!!!!

You guys stress me out with your last minute lounge visits. I was like, “stop talking and eat lunch... you’re going to miss your plane!” It was very exciting!

I’m impressed that with 4 years of travel this has only happened to you twice.

I bet your mamas get scared for you when they watch you walk somewhat blindly in the dark, at night, with your suitcases through puddles in random countries... because i know i do 😂😳 glad y’all always stay safe! ❤️

You know I'm 60 years old and I never drank coffee. After watching you Kara I'm now addicted. I love it!

I had this happen once in an AirBnb in Spain. They checked us into a room that wasn't ours, slow-rolled responses, and when I left they communicated hours later, told us we should go to another place, but I'd already checked into a hotel by then. I protested, but AirBnb didn't back me. Had it happen a second time, but involved AirBnb at the outset of it feeling hinky. They backed me in that case.

I always have a laugh at at your organised chaos at airports. 13 minutes before boarding and Kara's pressing the elevator button to go to a lounge! Brilliant. I'd be rushing for the gate. Maybe I need to chill a bit, and adopt the Kara+Nate approach to airports.

I just binge watch the whole Cuban Trip last night so this was perfect timing ❤️

Loved the beach bod joke.

Nate and Kara, I was formally a flight attendant with united and delta. These air bnb's should provide an adequate stay, if they don't you are entitled to a refund. After having my 2nd cancer surgery in 2021 (ovarian cancer) and with the pandemic, I haven't traveled since 2019 and 2013 for international travel. We'll I'm heading to Las Vegas and staying in an air bnb 5 minutes from the strip in a house dirt cheap but very nice. I told the lady with the air bnb , wonderful you have a coffee maker. My motto have coffee will travel. The air bnb host said. Coffee is Life. Amen to that! Have happy, Safe travels.🤗🛫✈️

the flight attendant behind you guys at 3:18 hahah XD

Kara I really love when you're dancing and the reason is food! haha

What I have learned from traveling in the Caribbean is that the locals are always so friendly and grateful and some of the best people I have ever met

That was an uncomfortable situation, but you both handled it very well. Good for you for sticking to your guns and getting out of there while also staying positive 👏🏻

When the year is up and you have spent the last hour in your 100th destination, you should reflect back on the past year's that made it all possible whether it be the family your friends or the KZread watches that made it all possible. Keep up the hard work and dedication. I'll be cheering you guys on!! And when I open my business you should definitely come for a visit! Love you guys!

As an airplane enthusiast this place is 100% on my bucket list of places to visit! Can't wait for the footage from the beach while I sit in the middle of a snow storm here!

Whenever I am feeling down I watch your videos and feel better! Your smiling and laughing Kara seems so genuine! You both are always so positive and can tell that you know how blessed your are to be living this life! You make my day! And Kara with that cookie is so relatable! Working on my beach body! Love it!

That lady behind y'all had me laughing for a while!

Never mind the AIRBNB drama...this video was that I’m not crazy with the rechecking/not rechecking bags on connecting international flights! We had to be escorted back through security? Customs? Some scary people in uniforms...over rechecking drama. Thank you for posting your travel hiccups.

You two are so good together when something goes awry! cool, calm and collected! Great Work!

aaahhh the realities of travel! Looks like something I may have gotten myself into once or twice. Loved your positive attitude throughout the airbnb ordeal. Good luck with the Myanmar trip.

We went to St Maarten about 10 years ago, and the people were so friendly there. We absolutely loved it. Also, 2 natives helped save my daughters' lives due to a near-drowning. My older daughter has stayed in touch with someone from there. The island was absolutely devastated by a hurricane a few years ago, and the hotel we stayed in still isn't finished (it had to be completely rebuilt). We still hope to return someday. It really is a special place.

I'm going to st maarten in December for the first time... Out of curiosity I looked for some travel vlogs and came across yours! So glad i did. I normally don't watch travel vloggers because its hard to distinguish between people who can travel because their PARENTS have money, or if they're true nomads like yourself who earn money while on the road, without trying to SELL something! Ill be scrolling through facebook and see advertisements from young nomads like yourself with a very vague message about quitting your job and being able to work wherever. You guys are just like "hey this is what we wanna do, here are our adventures"

Kara, you have such a beautiful spirit, it really shines through in this episode. 🙏🏼✌🏾🙂

Wow, I've made many dive trips to Honduras, Belize, Egypt, etc. and learned that the best made plans don't always work out. Patience is the answer and you guys do it so well! Thanks for sharing your world wide adventures with us.
