Who are Kara and Nate?!
Watch our documentary here: • 100th COUNTRY DOCUMENTARY
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. 😊🎥🌎

2 of my favorite observations from this episode: 1. Riley (sorry if that's spelled incorrectly!) noting how the prospect of spilling something out of the frig is a normal morning with the kids. I used to joke, when my kids were little, that it wasn't a meal if someone didn't spill something. 😄 2. The picnic on the floor. I would sometimes make nachos for dinner with my kids (I was a single mom from the time they were 2 and 5). I always spread out 2 big towels on the living room floor and we would eat them picnic style! I don't even know why I started that tradition with them, but we always ate them that way. Thanks for the lovely memories!! 💕

Cool video as always. Love that you included Sailing La Vagabonde crew! While I agree somewhat with Riley on this boat's seaworthyness at least for extremes....I think this silent yacht can "sail" around the world. Lots of tech and combined with a competent crew....I think it would do just fine. I agree that it was "designed" for island hopping in the Med or Carribean. Looking forward to week 2 and LOVE The Daily Drop!!! Funny, informative and saves people money. GO SIGN UP NOW!!
