Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the #travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to go travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this #travelvlog to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling, and we didn’t want to stop after just one year! After achieving our new goal of 100 countries and then all 7 continents (check out our documentary here: • 100th COUNTRY DOCUMENTARY , we had no plans to slow down, until 2020 decided to force us to ;) which is when we bought a converted Sprinter van to start exploring our own country for the first time. It 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. 😊🎥🌎

I got engaged up there 2 years ago this place is amazing
Brent seems like such a cool guy!! Definitely digging his vibe and love how passionate he is. Thank you for visiting and making this video.
What's crazy is I bet the mine pits are more haunted than the houses on the property

Love Cerro Gordo, but afraid of mines. When I was a kid I read "Five Boys in a Cave" and that cured me of any desire to ever go spelunking! I'm particularly intrigued with the haunted bunk house and really feel bad about the hotel burning down.
I can not tell you how much I love, love, love this. The storytelling of simple people’s lives is awesome, and I encourage you to do more videos like this! Just think of the people and circumstances that you could highlight across the US! It could be years upon years of great storytelling....and you do such an awesome job Kara and Nate! ❤️❤️❤️
