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. #Vanlife 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. 😊🎥🌎
He added to his karma by letting you interview him and he won the race. You were his good luck charms.
I just said the exact same thing. Just because he was that kind he got positive karma
That is what I was JUST thinking!!
Love this...
Kinda reminds me of that "Nick and Jessica" episode in 2002 where they went to the Kentucky Derby and picked the winner!
Hahahhahahahahahahaha
The fact that he ended up winning just makes it that much better!
Kara and Nate brought him the luck ! 🍀
Helio
I know it was them kissing that ground… that’s 4X that’s crazy!
True
I absolutely love how humble Hèlio is and the way that you interacted with him was so real and comfortable. He’s a winner all the way around in my book!
You are absolutely correct 👏
Helio is a definition of a real man; despite his amazing success, charisma and courage he remains affable, humble, welcoming and nice. A really likeable person.
Helio is so nice that after he won the race, he went to party with a fan in Indy that decorated their house for some kind of parade of homes type thing. He told them if he won, he would come back and that’s what he did. Can’t believe you guys got to tour his RV, so awesome!!!
He seems so nice! Now I may just have to watch racing haha
Fun fact: Helio has a 100% winning percentage when meeting Kara and Nate.
True story
So, that means Kara and Nate have to go again next year and spend a few minutes on Helio’s RV!
You weren’t wrong he won
One minute you’re sporting a Buc-ees onesie, the next you’re in an Indy car. Good times. 😁
I don't know one thing about Car Racing but ended up reading a lot about Indianapolis 500 as soon I was done with the video. Jaw-dropping coordination with the crew members who just wait to change the car accessories. I can't wait for more.
Go watch Formula 1 that's the real thing
You should go there at least once. In person is totally different than TV and you will gain immense respect for the drivers and their courage. The speeds are unbelievable !
I had ABSOLUTELY no experience with racing and I loved this video!
YES! That’s what I wanted to hear 🤗 Because I didn’t care a thing about racing before, but we had the BEST time 💃🏻
@@KaraandNate But will you watch the 500 in the future?
18:40 Covered this for TV 10 years and considering your lack of experience at a motorsports event your action footage on the racing line was better than average.
3 time Indy 500 winner: "I leave the driving to the professionals" lmao
Actually it’s four time. He won this year.
@@juddpalmer5445 thanks for the great info!!!
Smart guy
Lol
Hi
Just found your channel and really enjoy the videos!
Yeah
Two of my favorite things! Van/bus life and flying! Love watching your videos too Steveo!
Yep
Same
steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevooooooooooooooooooooo
Kara "So I assume you're a pretty good driver" 😂
Helio 'Goes on to win the Indy 500'
Lol exactly 🤣
Little dancing before the race weekend was good luck lol.
Yeah that made me laugh too! So fun, I’m so jealous!!!
Kara meets Tiger Woods..."So I hear you're a pretty good golfer"...lol
Indy*
The crossover i did not expect but the one i absolutely love.
Seriously! I watched their Assateague pony video having just been on the other side of that island. Then they're randomly at the Indy 500... and meeting Helio! They're not kidding about how crazy this whole experience seems to be!
Helio is considered a Legend here in Brazil~~~ So proud of him.... Such a cool and humble guy!!!
Laughed way too hard at the NASCAR/F1 joke, awesome video. Best one yet!
Is Indycar tho
@@carterbmtb4781 yeah, thats the joke
Indians LOVES Helio. He’s our guy. He loves this race and this state. Such an amazing guy
Nah
@@athulsuresh9941 fr
"Indians"??😨
I thought it was 'Indianians'.
???
@@snappa77 she meant to type "IndianA LOVES Helio" not "indians"
@@justaperson9329 it's a joke
I cried happy tears watching this. I grew up going to the track. I lived near it a lot of my life. I've met Mario before. Helio is my favorite driver. I've gone around the track, kissed the bricks, been in the pit, in an RV, in gasoline alley. Cannot wait for the next video. So many personal emotions for me. I'm so happy you got to do this. Thank you for sharing.
I love that Kara was having a talk with a race car driver and boss baby’s in the background
Hey y’all! I love Van life, and I’m an absolutely MASSIVE Motorsport fan. In fact, I’m an amateur sim racer! INDYCAR, is basically Formula 1, American cousin. The garage is where the drivers and their teams make adjustments to their cars, to make the car better around the course. The INDY500 is one of the world’s most renowned races. I love that people like y’all, who are mostly camping fans and things, coming out of their comfort zones and doing something super fun like going and watching a full race. It makes me so happy to know that you want to do things that aren’t of the “ordinary” and do these kinds of things! I hope y’all had fun, and best of luck with the Van!
Helio is simply the greatest guy you could ever meet. I’ve spent a bit of time with him and he is always that energetic and gracious. GOAT!
He really does look like a very nice guy! Love his smile and I'm very happy he won!🙂🤗😘
He seems like such a nice guy!
Laying in a hospital in South Africa With Covid.... I have had time to rewatch alot of your videos. Thank you for a brilliant channel and thank you for carrying us through this. A long standing fan
Take care
Veel beterschap! Genees snel!!
Feel better soon!!!!!! Stay positive 💜💜💜
Take care!
I hope you recover soon! All the best :)
Kara is such a people person. She's so lovely to watch and Nate compliments her so well. Always letting her shine and be her.
I am a NASCAR fan but literally got chills on your outro as you talked about being in the pit during the win. Providing great content has allowed you to access what most race fans only dream of. Keep up the good work, and hopefully you will get to live out the dreams of many other people.
And now I know that Helio won the Indy 500 because K&N knelt down before the wall of bricks and kissed it! 🙌🏼😂
He wasn't a favorite until 30 laps to go
@@kylebryantdover1921 Sooooo? It's called racing and putting yourself in the right place for when the checkered flag flies. The favored doesn't always win and the winner doesn't always lead the most laps.
@@1ltlbrnc ur so salty oof
@@1ltlbrnc so you’re response to someone else saying that a racer is their favourite is to be salty af?
The fact that you got to your Helio C, is epic. He’s a legend. Well before he won this past weekend haha
I love the fact that my small state is on such a big UA-cam platform. Being from Indiana I have loved racing since I was little. Another great place you should visit next time you are in Indy is Charlie brown's.
A Tour with one of the drivers??? You mean the fourth guy ever to win four 500’s!!!
I’ve been to every race for 20+ years and it is always the best day of the year.
Everything in life is good when k & n post
Oh god I'm obsessed with them
Especially when your having a bad day!
I know nothing about racing and didn't expect to enjoy this. You were right Nate, I did enjoy this.
Same! I think this is one of my faves from their recent videos
Hello is the most easy going dude ever. I asked him for an autograph at the Houston track but he didn’t have a pen. He actually stopped and talked to me very nice guy god bless him and his family.
I'm so glad you went to the race, I've gone to the race many times and was at 2 of the races when Helio won. I'm glad that you weren't into racing and enjoyed it. A lot of people aren't into racing but experiencing the Indy 500 has to be on everyone's bucket list. Nate said it best when he said it pulls at all of your senses, not to mention emotions! That's what I love about the race, I'm glad you were able to spend a few days there and actually get to understand the team aspect plus how difficult it is to win. There is a lot more to it than just driving around in an oval for 200 laps (500 miles). Thanks for doing our state right!
As an Indy native whose family is obsessed with the 500, this was so awesome to see! I haven't been to the race in several years, but my dad has only missed two races in the past 45 years. So great you guys got to meet Helio- he's a fan favorite because he's such a great guy!
You guys bring authentic life experiences straight to our devices! Thank you guys for inspiring my wife and I to take more time for adventures in life!
He shows his RV and then wins Indy 2021.....come on, how incredible is that..........to the moon amazing and this is no. 4 win. He already won it three times, but to be gracious and kind to you both and then win again says so much about your talents and of course Helio....just unbelievable you were in his 'home away from home RV'.
2 miles from the track and I've never been in my 35 years of life yet I still feel proud you visited our Speedway! Pumped to view your take on this day!
I’m 10 miles from the pro football hall of fame and never been
I’ve never been in my 20 years of life. Lived in Brownsburg for most of my life and now live in speedway by St. Christopher’s. It was so cool seeing them at places I go to often like longs and I do sometimes go to qualifications.
I have followed you two for over four years. I always found your travel blogs interesting, informative and educational. I have travelled to many places you have. But I have to say your Indy blog is one of my top five favourites. I can’t wait for the next clog. You guys are the best!
The documentary beforehand made this video 1000x more interesting, good recommendation!
YES so glad you watched it!!
U got the bus tour because u have over 2mil. subs. Well done.
That RV was AMAZING!!! Mad respect to Helio for letting you guys come in and tour it!!!
I’ve been watching all of y’all’s old vlogs I didn’t realize you were in my hometown! I can hear the race track from my front porch!💓
So happy you guys had an awesome time in Indy! 💓
12:01am here in Australia with a university exam tomorrow afternoon, I couldn't think of a better way to end my big day/night of studying!!
Good luck.
I hope the exam goes/went well for you!
good luck!!
Never watched car racing in my life, yet this whole episode was fascinating!! At 1:44 when Kara makes the joke about being a pro at Nascar.... I had no idea that was a joke! 🤣
Well, car racing is different when you're watching from the pit.
Same, lol
She also said.....I know it's Formula One........which was also a joke because it is Indycar
So so so much love for this video. Never thought I’d be into the Indy 500 but if anyone can change your mind about falling in love with a new experience, it’s Kara and Nate. 🤩🙌
Got the notification for this video and immediately thought *"Wow, this is going to be so special for so many Kara and Nate fans. It will be so personal and heartwarming."* I just wanted to read the comments more than watch the video. Glad it really was so special for so many of yall.
Thanks Kara and Nate for bringing that joy to so many people.
God bless. 🙏
Helio's gonna be calling you guys over before every race now!
🍀🍀🍀🍀
Helio is such a great person! So proud of my fellow Brazilian ❤️🇧🇷
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Helio is a true hero in Brazil
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 vai Brasil!
I was there race day and everybody was cheering for Helio to win. We all lost it when he won!!!! Really great to see Nate and Kara did such a fantastic job of giving us the behind the scene view. And they captured what a great person Helio is!!!!
Brazilians are my favorite people. That’s probably why I love my gym so damn much.
I am cryinnnnggg!!! This experience was EVERYTHING!!!!
Mr Helio was so gracious. Such a nice man. Awesome video I am learning so much about the race.
Oh woah! Uhh how do I get one of those RVs??
Drive very fast in a circle. 😂
@@johnbailey5011 😂
@@johnbailey5011 OMFG MATE IM DRINKING MY COFFEE
Its nice to see u guys supporting one another. I now watch ur video 😃😃
drive fast without getting a speeding ticket... 30 seconds later .... sirens driver pull over ahh crap lol
WOW, Castroneves is so humble for a car racer, so sweet, also so happy for you guys that you got the opportunity, keep it up! Loved it
I love the community that has been built around Kara and Nate. So much good vibes 🤗
Man, I love this vlog. I enjoy your videos, especially during the pandemic so a belated thank you. You guys still remain so relatable despite being so successful. Same energy as it was years ago when you had a handful of subscribers. So thank you for all that you do! 🙌🏼
The fact he won when you guys are there, if just amazing! That doesn't happen often
What an incredible experience. I am not generally jealous of your adventures but this one got me. And to be with Helio on top of it all....I hope you appreciate how lucky you are.
always been a fan of Mario Andretti but Helio is a close second...
It's sooooooo neat seeing you in places I see often since I live here!!!!!!! You will NEVER have more fun than being at the Indy 500!!!! Best people and pure fun and entertainment :) :) :) Growing up we sold seat cushions there to help raise money for our mission trips. I was able to go to Honduras and Panama in high school because of it.
Some people have watched racing for years maybe even decades and this is their first time watching and they did all this.
Well this is a crossover I never expected I’d see and I’m delighted that I am
this feels like they levelled up big time! that's such a cool opportunity wow!
How very fun!! So happy for you two! I’ve been smiling so much watching this that my face hurts! Can’t wait for part 2!!
GF and I can’t stop doing the “Nate face” when he is imitating his badge photo
I'm listening to this weeks episode with my headphones on and the sounds are amazing.... I feel like I'm at The INDY 500 with you. 💗 Thank you for bringing Us along for the ride. 🥰
They did an amazing job filimg and editing this video. If there is an award this video should win it!
They did a great job of making this video engaging, for sure!
Right!!! The shots, the editing, the love that Kara & Nate put into every second of light that emotes in every frame truly shines their beautiful souls all the way through. We see you Kara & Nate! 🥰🤟🏻
This is amazing guys!! I know next to nothing about racing, so this was eye opening to me. However, I am familiar with Helio C. from when he was on DWTS. What a super nice guy! And his RV was absolutely incredible. I can't wait to see the next vlog... with _Mario Andretti!_ 🤯
Hi FIreCracker3240! I have not seen a post of yours in a long time. I remember when we first binged watched Kara and Nate (way way back in the beginning - when there were less subscribers) I always looked for your positive inspiring comments. With the thousands of comments now I was surprised to see you (well your name 😀) Take care... Just wanted to say hi 🇨🇦
@@MargoJ1546 Hi, Margo! I'm so glad you found my post. As Kara & Nate have grown in popularity, my comments pretty much get buried whenever I leave them. But I still watch and comment every single time because, after all, I always want to show my support. But I'm so grateful that you always say hello when you see me! Greetings from PA! 😊
I can’t believe you were with the fourth four-time Indy Winner as he became it!!! 👏😃🎉💯💯💯💯💯
SOOO cool that he won the race! What a great opportunity for you guys!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ok Kara is honestly so freaking funny “No autographs please, please!” I cracked up lolol
Omg you were with Helio when he won WHAT
Im now a huge Helio C. fan !!!! What a superb driver but so down to earth. Love this guy !
Thanks guys. Always wanted to go. I remember watching the Indianapolis 500 race in the early 60's as a kid on color tv which in our neighborhood was new and very special.
As a huge fan of racing in general, this might be my new favorite K&N video. Of course, probably eclipsed by next week's with the actual 500!
Oh wow!! Those cars are SO COOL!!! I love how interactive Kara is. It makes me feel like I'm ACTUALLY THERE!!!! Nate is so funny. I love when he drives the van.
The man showing the inside of his motor home is such a nice friendly person. I imagined race car winners to be arrogant show offs, but he does not come across like that. I like him. This vlog was interesting at the races.
You guys deserve the best. Thank you for taking US in all your adventures....
It's beyond cool you guys hung out with Hello Castroneves! He is one of the real good guys in racing. As a long time racing fan I might be a little envious!! But it's great you had such a great experience.
Amazing!!!!! How lucky you both are!!!! Been a racing fan since I was 6 or 7.... at over 70 now, I’ve never been able to see the Indy in person!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing, as I live vicariously through you both!!!! Stay safe! 🏎
This was so awesome!! I never was a racing fan but finally got to see the 500 after living in Indianapolis my whole life. Definitely will never forget it.
Also omg I can’t believe y’all were so closed to me. I was in the stands right across from Helios pit!!
This is AMAZING!!! So incredible watching you two back in 2016 to now seeing this, you have changed my life and I legit cry during your videos (happy tears of course!) ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kara: I'm pretty much a pro at nascar now
Me: *nods*
Kara: Just kidding, I know this is Formula 1
Me: ... *nods*
Great video as always guys! 🤍
I think that quote probably game someone an aneurysm :-p
I laughed at that one
americans, amirite?
@@cleighud it was me
I literally know nothing about racing and I knew Kara was the same when she up in the suite with the guide lady and the only thing she said was "so cars go that way?" *makes clockwise motion*
Kara: Oh its a drone!..Oh its a bird...wait.. What is that!?
😂I love Kara
100% She's just the best 😂
So true she is so nice. Don't forget Nate!! He is so funny and so kind!!
Kara and Nate are so charismatic. What a video. I like they way they just totally go all in to this environment.
I have so much more appreciation for racing after watching this
Kara & Nate are Castroneves' good luck charm, he won the race!
"I'm not mad about it I'm just trying to be more responsible!" -Nate ☺😂 btw I hope u enjoyed national donut day!
As someone who loves Indy Car Racing, I absolutely loved this vlog!!
This video was an absolute blast! Can't wait for the next one! I appreciate you all recommending Born Racer. Didn't know that much about Indy Car Racing but learned a ton from you two! Safe travels!
That is an incredible US experience for sure!! What a lucky event that Helio won!
so amzing that he won the race, this must have been an amazing experience for you guys
I wish. Car 3 was still here.. May u always be with everyone
You guys are going to have the coolest stories to tell your families for generations!!😍
I dont know why I feel so excited all of a sudden for your next video! Your enthusiasm, Kara, is sooooo contagious!
Wow, Mario Andretti he is a legend.
Living vicariously through so many videos. You are so lucky to get these experiences, that so many of us wish we could have, We will enjoy it through your amazing editing ability and enthusiasm for learning new things;
10:57 Netflix this is exactly what You’re looking for in the next season of drive to survive
OMG YES
As a diehart Indy 500 fan (Been to 23 in my 32 years) and a big fan of your videos, I am pumped to see these two things come together! I love that you got to be with the team when Helio won his 4th!!!
This Vlog will get a million views in a week :)
🤞🏻
thank you for doing this! I usually attend the race every year, often with media credentials, but I’ve never made it into a driver’s RV before. And Helio, he was a legend when you met him, but now he’s a super legend! So amazing you were there to see the incredible celebration after his win. I hope someone told you that that’s not what usually happens, the driver just usually pulls up onto the hydraulic lift to the podium where they do wreath-milk-ring. The celebration for Helio‘s fourth win was healing joy for all we’ve all been through in the last year. Really enjoyed this video!
Helio seems like such a genuinely nice guy!
Omg. Kara’s reaction to the newness of it all was nothing short of enchanting. I was smiling as much as she was!
It’s rare that there’s a video for which I stop my knitting (I’m making a blanket for my brother). I stopped knitting to watch this though because your videos are so entertaining and awesome. ❤️😃
Wow! What a privilege to be able to see what goes on inside the Indy 500. I'm a fan that watches all the time but to even get to see the inside a famous driver's RV just blows my mind! This is a great video. One thing I have done for several years is make contact with the Indy 500 amateur radio (hams) special events station each year. They add lots of excitement from there too!
My dad was one of parnell Jones mechanics. I grew up driving quarter midgets. Indy is special to our family. I only went there once in 2007.
Hello is one of my favorite drivers.
