Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to 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 KZread channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling! So we extended our 1 year trip to now FOUR years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

    A little advise from a Cuban: my parents had a casa particular (Rent room) when I was growing up and for me I feel like the best advise you can take it's from ur host, maybe I'm baisad but they are locals and have knowledge of the city and it's people, I feel like they can help a lot. At least that's what my parents did. And just so you know in Cuba everything it's very sketchy you really have to be careful where and with who you spend your money. Keep in mind that everything belongs to the government and that salaries are truly awful so everyone tries to make a little money on the side to be able to eat by, for example keeping tourist from riding normal buses that are from the government and just make communists money. But as you have already experienced it's really hard to travel in Cuban cars. I would advice taking the yellow tourist caps ik it's more expensive but also way more reliable. Also don't go to restaurants that are government owned the food it's truly bad in those places and street food it's not that good either you can find the best of Cuban foods in casas particulares or in paladares . Hope you guys read this and find it a bit helpful. Love your videos and I'm truly happy you are going to Cuba and a bid sad that I know the struggle that it's to travel to and in my home country😁

    Also be careful not to say what your hosts are preparing for supper. I'm sure lobster can only be bought on the black market ie someone in the trade diverting it from going to hotels. It may have changed since I was last there, my hosts always told me not to say what we eat at her casa.

This can, and does, happen everywhere. So by you speaking of the incident it reminds travelers in any country that it can happen to them as well. People need to be aware wherever they go.

    Yep - this happens everywhere. I've had something similar happen in Toronto of all places. But this is just part of the adventure. I've been swarmed by gypsies in Paris and been taken on the longest 4 block taxi ride ever in Malaysia. But I got myself out of the gypsies in a hurry - with all of my belongings and the taxi ride was actually a very interesting tour of the highlights of Kuala Lumpur - I even gave the driver a tip just because he was so unabashedly cheeky about the whole thing when he caught on that i knew exactly what was going on. .

    Cuba has been quite an adventure, for sure! I'm glad that you guys are keeping it real, as always, by telling us that you need to be careful about what you're told and by whom. It's so easy to get caught up in the excitement of this country that one may forget that for many, many years, Cubans weren't used to Americans as tourists. Having been barred from travel for over 50 years, we're a bit of a novelty, and I'm sure that extends to people looking to take advantage of tourists. That being said, Cuba is filled with wonderful, loving & generous people and I'm so glad to get to see this amazing country!

    My wife and I just went to Cuba (Havana, Vinales, and Trinidad) around New Years and I'm glad to see someone be honest and show the full picture. Most everything we saw before we went focused only on the beautiful, amazing, perfect parts of Cuba and did not prepare us for some of the aspects we had a harder time with. I completely understand your hesitation in highlighting the negative bits (small or big as they may be) as it feels like you're diminishing the rest of the trip, but it paints a better picture of what to be prepared for. While we did have an amazing time, we had some similar experiences of taxi prices changing from an initial reservation/conversation to once we were in the car as well as being given CUP rather than CUC in change. Thanks for painting a full picture of your experience while still being positive doing so!

    My friends were so excited to visit Cuba but they said people weren't helpful at the bus station or really anywhere and that they felt like if something bad happened there wouldn't have been anyone to help. Probably not having cell or internet contributed to this but I think people have to remember that this country isnt set up for tourism yet. It isnt just fun old cars and cool hats. I think having a guide is a great way to see it.

    Our family went to Cuba last year and although the price of transportation is "flexible" and there are eager people willing to help you out [at a cost], we understood that the Cubans were trying to make money and they needed to make money. We had so many similar situations: shared taxis, taxis that broke down, full buses, long lines etc. . . but Cuba is absolutely beautiful, the people are so generous and there is a very mysterious magic about the island. When in Cuba, you take your time and be patient when things don't go how you planned. Then you get to see the country for all its beauty and you get to have amazing conversations. I would go back in a heartbeat!

    It's weird because I went to Cuba and had cell service immediate upon landing. I didn't use it much as it would have been expensive international service but definitely had it. You could also buy internet time at the hotel, I know Kara and Nate didn't stay at hotels but you can also go to Internet cafes and get internet time, especially in Havana. So I find how they had no connection really strange. Maybe because they were American their phone plan wouldn't be supported? But I would have to imagine they would have some kind of international plan with all the traveling they do...

    You really are adventurous and quite brave coz I wouldn’t travel in a foreign country separately from my husband. I’m just glad it ended well. It’s true about almost any country - you just have to be cautious coz things can go wrong anywhere. Also, just wanted to add that I watch your videos not because you show the positive side of your travels but because you show it as it is. It makes more real and also helpful if we happen to travel to those places. If you showed only the positives then we would have to take everything you show “with a grain of salt”. So keep showing and telling both sides of your story.

    Many times when I have visited poor and developing countries, I've run into small scams like Kara and Nate encountered. Really, they are just poor people trying to make a little money, and for the most part, it has never really bothered me. But you need to be careful. At the same time, I have also met many people who go out of their way to be nice and help you without any expectation of compensation. I have had taxi drivers who have taken me home to have dinner with their family, street vendors invite me to weddings as a special guest, and even locals protecting me from being robbed. One of the joys of travel beyond seeing new places is meeting so many wonderful people across the world.

    my family went on a trip to cuba over thanksgiving because my dad was teaching music over there, and it was absolutely incredible. your videos are capturing it’s beauty in such a real way and it’s making me soooooo nostalgic💛💛💛 it’s so crazy to finally be able to relate to your vids and see something and be like “woahhhh wait i’ve been there!!” anyways this was long but thank you for documenting all of the amazing places you explore!🌍🌍❤️

    Hi Kara and Nate. - thanks for sharing - wow what an eventful day you had - You looked very calm considering you got separated. These events is what makes travelling so interesting. Well done for avoiding the scam. One question have you felt safe filming with your camera and gimbal. We're in Central America filming and so far unless on a tour group - we have filmed on go pro and often without external microphone as don't want to draw attention - we haven't got the gimbal out yet ! would love to you what you think. Probably ok during the day - thanks as always for sharing - Marianne and Chris

    Oh wow! Kara and Nate, me and my boyfriend were in Cuba at roughly the same time as you guys! Our taxi ride to Viñales was not as memorable as yours, but I confirm that they seem to bring anyone going by taxi to the same tobacco and coffee plantation. The whole bus ticket stuff happened to us as well and we just popped into a tour agency next door and bought a bus ticket for the day we wanted. You learn to improvise and not stress about the little things in Cuba! 😄

    I go to Cuba 3-4 times a year. Mostly Havana. The people are amazing. They are also very good at hustling people. But the country is incredibly safe. These are some of the most educated people on the planet.... they are also some of the finest artists as well. Go to Cuba. Support the Cuban people....they have HUGE hearts. Cuba is one of the few places left that are stuck in a time warp. If you squint....you would swear its 1959. Have some rum, enjoy the music and if you are inclined....have a world class cigar!

    Yes pretty much the first guy gets a commission from the sale of the bus tickets , I’m Cuban lol it has happened to me many times for example I once went to a popular restaurant in Cuba and I asked some guy on the street where to find it when I did find the restaurant I found out that the guy talked to the owner and told him that he sent us there in the first place .. its how they make a quick buck and you will see it everywhere on the island . I’m glad you all are having a great time and keeping it real like always .

    Integrity is a good thing. Don't be afraid to tell it like it is if you think it will truly help someone. There are scams in every part of the world but, as you said, you didn't have wifi to check it out! You find the good in everything. Maybe the good is letting other people know what might happen. That is a little scary to be separated!!! But hey, a smile and being genuinely friendly certainly helps. You've got that in abundance!!! xoxoxoxoxox

So we will be experiencing being off the grid too. We are so plugged into the internet world I'm thinking it may not be such a bad thing.. and make my videos better. :)

    Kara and Nate, ALWAYS split your money between you! Not only will it prevent situations like in this video when you were separated, but if you get pick pocketed, at least you will still have half your money. Nate, you need to watch out for that pretty girl and make sure she never gets stranded without money!

I watched your vlogs from Poland and for some reason kinda liked it (ok could have been the migraine meds) you made me laugh Kara. Anyhow I started watching a few random vlogs your Everest trek and trans Siberian train ride. I can't travel, have way to many food allergies and a few other issues to do 90% of what you do but I love watching y'all at night. So thanks guys for making me laugh and bringing the world to me.
