Mini bio
How it started.
Kara and Nate are high school sweethearts from Nashville who married in 2013. Kara was a teacher before they left home on January 10, 2016 for what they expected to be one year of travel. Their first flight took them to Tokyo, and their early videos let friends and family follow along.
Finding their audience.
The trip became their work. In 2018, Kara and Nate won the Shorty Award in Travel. By December 2019 they had reached their goal of visiting 100 countries, a journey they later revisited in their 100th Country Documentary.
Life on the road.
When the pandemic interrupted international travel, they bought a converted van and spent about two years exploring the United States. They returned to full-time international travel in 2022. Their videos now range from luxury trains to a Mongol Rally journey in a school bus. Kara also appears with Nate in the travel series distributed by FilmRise.
