You did an amazing job!!!! I enjoyed the bathroom confessionals 😂
I am so proud of you Kara. I hope you have a great time at the wedding and I think you did a great job capturing your adventure.
Distance grows heart fonder but I am already fond 😂 epic line, wish I have someone like you in my life someday 🥺
When she brought out that baby outfit my heart beat went up! Then she said it was for a friend maybe one day…
Make bathroom confessionals a thing for every video
I love how the taxi driver tried making kara happy when she was crying
I know what a sweetie 🥰
He got very happy about her going to Michigan. I'll bet he never heard of Michigan.
He had no idea where Michigan was haha
Wow nude ads on the happy side of UA-cam
What a jerk
@@mircat28 There are many Greeks who emigrated to the US in the 50s. The most popular English language certificate in Greece at the moment is the ECCE / ECPE by the university of Michigan. His grandkid probably has “the Michigan” language certificate and he probably helped pay for the language course.
It's crazy to think this is Kara's first time travelling herself after 6 years of travel with Nate !!. Love the content guys !!
Pretty nuts huh?!
@@KaraandNate really is crazy but keep up the good work with the videos !!!
Off subject, but is anyone else confused at how one of the most wholesome corners of the internet suddenly got plastered with nude girl ads?? LMAO🤭
@@jamieingels1190 I report them but it doesn't seem to help much lol.
Maybe if she wanted sympathy she should fly coach like the rest of the world
I cried the moment Kara saw her dad and he said he can’t believe Kara is there. I can see how happy Kara’s dad is to be with her.. Made me miss my dad, we lost him 2 years ago. Take care always Nate and Kara.
feel that! My pa has been gone for a while also... MISSING HIM!
Awww same!! That was the sweetest moment caught on camera. Also what a hunk! ❤❤❤
I’m sobbing, I’m gonna make sure to visit my dad this coming week. The drive stinks but he’s 1 state away & not a country or flight or in heaven 💜🖤 thanks for posting this on top of Kara seeing hers, I need to see mine 🤦🏼♀️😭
Sorry about your loss, hopefully he gives you a sign soon :)
My dad passed away just before Christmas. It made me emotional too!
@@s.j.6703 So sorry for your loss...my dad passed in 2017 and it feels like yesterday. He was 93. Mom passed early at 60 in 1987........feels like forever and yesterday.. sending hugs.
"I enjoy being with Nate more than I enjoy being alone" that is so sweet. I genuinely hope I can find a guy whose company I enjoy more than being alone. You're very fortunate!
Thanks for treating your flight attendants. We never expect it, but these days we are tired and a simple smile and thank you means so much to us ♥️
That’s great. I will do this next time bring a box of cholesterol for flight attendants.
Thank you for all that you do!!
@@irmakalember9403 you are funny. It is certainly a box of cholesterol however I will remember this nice tip for my next flight
@@personincognito3989 Haven’t you heard of it’s a thought that counts
@@irmakalember9403 ikr
"Distance makes the heart grow fonder... I was just already pretty fond." 🥺❤️ It's always weird to do fun things (like flying, going to weddings, lounge hangs) without your favorite person to do fun things with! Thanks for taking us along with at least - always love a travel day video from you!
Aimee here, completely feel this WHOLE video!
I feel like I rely on Craig so much when we're travelling (probably why I missed my second flight last week 😂)
You did EXCELLENT m'love! Congrats on your first solo flight - we are now both fully independent women 😎 (bagsy being Beyonce)
ok
I rewatched both videos over the weekend. I love how you both traveled on your own, over cane obstacles and did it!! Love watching you both show your power
I love the fact that even after travelling together full time for so long you guys are still madly in love and crazy about each other. Love your videos. ❤️
This made me realize I have almost always flown alone, except for 1 time. It’s pretty unique that Kara and Nate have managed their journeys together most of the time.
Same. I’ve always flown alone except one time!
That's what I was thinking too! Even when I flew with other people, we didn't sit next to each other on the flight. I honestly prefer going alone, it's easier
Same 🙂 and honestly I love flying alone.
Me too. I think flying solo is wonderful lol.
“I never shop at the airport when Nate is with me” my favorite line in 6 years of videos.
🥱
“I truly just enjoy being with Nate more than being alone” ♥️🥺
"distance makes the heart grow fonder, I just was already really fond" just love that! 💜
Best quote of the vlog!! “But it’s ok, distance makes the heart grow fonder … but I was already pretty fond.. so”
😂❤️
Agreed! I laughed heartily with the truth in the sentiment. I feel the same way about my husband ❤️
I felt this so much when she said it!!!!
Wise Kara: “but it’s good distance makes the heart grow fonder”
Sassy Kara: “I was just already pretty fond, so…..”
“But I was already pretty fond” made me LOL! I relate my husband travels a lot & I hate when he leaves! Love all your videos & proud of you Kara for stepping out of your comfort zone💗🎉
Aww I love that you call your dad "Daddy" and that you have a relationship good enough to share a hotel room. It must be a great experience to have that connection. Welcome back to the USA Kara...
Kara is honestly the reason I watch this channel. When she cries my heart breaks a little bit.
like she was crying when they traveled to Rome ate food in time and cried lol while I’m struggling lol
I love how emotional she gets because that just shows their love for each other
🥰❤️
Congrats! I'm a solo traveler and love it, but I know it's not for everyone! You did great! And I just adore you and Nate and your love for each other! Keep up the great work with these videos and thank you for allowing us to be a part of your lives!!
I’ve met some really interesting people as a solo traveler.
My first time flying/traveling alone was when I was 19 years old been married for 6 months and I was going to visit my husband in his job training for the army. I got stuck an airport and had to find a last minute hotel it was a horrible experience but getting to see my husband for the first time in 6 months really made up for it ❤️
Hi Kara! I’m a college student going home for thanksgiving and it’s also my first time flying alone. I’m sitting at my gate right now watching this. So thanks for putting out this video in perfect timing!
Safe travels!!
Enjoy your trip to see your family for Thanksgiving.
'I am not sure if I've ever been this tired"
- Kara literally 2 weeks after climbing the equivalent of Mt. Everest
I was thinking the same thing... lol
@@spooniesarah lol xD I guess it's continuing their theme of "How hard could it be!?"
Hahahha you’re so right…
@@KaraandNate 😁😁
I know! She said that and I laughed because I was thinking of that!
I just finished watching through all of your videos after a few months of lockdown in my country New Zealand. It's been wonderful to watch both of you grow so much over the years of traveling, and this solo flight is just another step. It's inspiring to see you both become more confident and comfortable throughout your travels and your video quality continue to improve. Great job capturing it all solo for the first time! My girlfriend and I have decided to try to vlog our future travels too.
One suggestion I have is to split up your "watch from the beginning" playlist as scrolling through hundreds of videos on the list to get back to where I was up to viewing was time consuming. Having a playlist for each year would make it much easier to get back into each time someone wants to watch.
It’s literally so sweet that they have never been apart this whole journey that this is the first time Kara has traveled alone.
I love seeing you branch out and be independent, even though you miss Nate so much. It reminded me of when you started driving the van on your own in CO. I'm super single and, while I do have people I enjoy vacationing with, I love traveling on my own.
"You're in the background so don't do anything weird." I'm pretty sure we've all had that convo with our dads a few times haha. Grat's on your first solo trip Kara!
Yup. Not the only one 😂
put a shirt on dad
VIP lounges, business class seats, seems to be a good way to travel by oneself. Yep I know haven't been apart in 6 years. Been 43 for us and wife just spent a week apart with girlfriends at the beach. No tears. Just happy she enjoyed her time and enjoyed the reunion. Time to stop shedding tears. You live a life many can't afford. Enjoy it.
Awww, I can just imagine how strange it was to travel solo. I used to love flying by myself as a teenager, but I'm afraid of flying now and I don't know that I could do it alone without having a panic attack. Last time I flew was a year and a half ago with my husband from Orlando to Puerto Rico and that was scary enough.
You did great, Kara. Proud of you, girl!
IF you have to fly alone again, just remember The Yes Theory saying-- "a stranger is a friend you haven't met yet"
Or a serial killer.
Stefro Millard 😂😂
@@stefromillard6003 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great saying
"i just enjoy being with Nate more than I enjoy being alone" I LOVE this. I feel the same about my husband, it's why we got married, he's my person. thank you for sharing your life with us!
You know the foundation you build as a married couple when you’re young is one of the things that keeps you together and in love when you are old. Along with the time you spend with each other, the love you have for each other and the memories you will share together forever will solidify you guys 30 to 40 years from now. What am I saying? “Keep building that foundation, love unconditionally, and always strive toward oneness. God Bless! Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
Ally from kinging just ‘flew alone’ and conquered her biggest fear. (Missed 2nd flight) you women are Amazing 🙌❤️🙌 somethings are just meant to be together.
“Distance makes the heart grow fonder, I was just already pretty fond” that killed me too funny!🤣
I have been looking for someone to have commented on this! Best line ever! Love it!
Loved watching your first flight! I recently got to experience my "first" solo flight again but this time as a wheelchair user! It felt a bit scary to fly by myself as a wheelchair user but the flight attendants and gate staff were amazing and so helpful!
Your comment caught my attention and I watched your Amsterdam video, very cool! Keep up the good work 🙃
It's okay to be sad for leaving him for a few days. I remember the first time my husband left for work and, while it was just a short trip, it felt like a lifetime and I was a mess! Now we're currently 8 months and counting without seeing each other. You did amazing girl! It also goes to show you, that we are capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for.
We need "Bathroom Confessionals with Kara" to be a permanent feature in EVERY video!
She gave us what we didn't know we needed!
Yesss
"distance makes the heart grow fonder...i was just already pretty fond" omg this is SO relatable and sweet
I remember signing up for fare drop when it first came out and
Testimonial: It helped my friend and I afford a trip to Boston for 250$ round trip from LA!
Glad to hear it's doing well. Great ride
I started crying when I saw your dad waiting for you outside the hotel. So sweet!
I been watching this journey from the start i can’t believe that y’all have been too 100 county’s. But I still can’t believe that Kara has never flown alone.
Crazy right?! Thanks for all the support 🥰
I quit my job of 2 years & 3 months so that i can smoke weed on my UA-cam channel full time lmaoo🤩
I love how Kara travelling alone is so entertaining, comedy gold. And please keep bathroom confessional! 😂
You did great Kara! It's a growth experience even for you, no matter how much you traveled, you need to do it yourself, by yourself. I'm proud of you.
I really liked this vlog.
every time she sees her dad she goes “daddyyyy” in the sweetest voice EVER! it never gets old 🥰🥰🥰
So awesome to see Kara out on her own! As someone who travels alone I loved seeing your interactions with the various people she met...I always try to remember to be kind and sweet like you! It really can brighten someone else's day and helps keep me in a positive mindset while adventuring!
The ‘bye’ in the taxi at 0:22 got me teary eyed! Glad you’re both home safe for Thanksgiving with your families!
I almost cried and was in tears seeing this video and I as a viewer have been watching Kara & Nate for so long that even I felt the emotion swell within me. Impeccably great videos you both make our world a better place to live!❤️❤️
the first time that i flew abroad as a student and alone!! teary eyes!! but my co-passengers made sure i don't feel lonely :) hope you hade a good flight!! you guys are amazing!!
Ahhh your tears 😭 when leaving Nate got me all in my feelings!! Your sweet and fun relationship and pure love for each other is what makes this channel so incredibly unique and magical! Can’t wait for the episode that you reunite!
factssss
Kara's dad is so sweet. I love seeing him in your vlogs!!!
You rock, Kara! So inspiring to see you traveling alone, but so sweet how you and Nate miss each other.
The bagel part- pocket (so relatable) to mouth- was the best!
I freaking am obsessed with this channel and had been my binge channel, the good camera work from Nate and Kara's energectic personaity, I just love it all. Thanks
It must be pretty traumatic getting your own coffee. Seriously though, when you're joined at the hip with someone, it can feel very odd when you're alone. Happy Thanksgiving, Kara.
I love how kind that man was when Kara asked him where do Ubers pick up
He was awesome 💛
"you're in the back so don't do anything weird" such a natural sentence to say to a dad 🤣
This was so sweet, and Kara you were even funnier than normal! You did so amazing for your first solo trip ✌🏻🖤
Had my coffee, a run probably later,, a visit with mom yesterday but today it’s time to watch Kara and Nate or should I say just Kara! Have a Happy Thanksgiving from Manitoba, Canada 🇨🇦!
I loved the comment “I’m already pretty fond of Nate” I feel ya Sister! Hate traveling alone as well!
Hello Lori how are you
Kara, the part that got me in this video was your dad greeting you at the hotel. I recently lost my dad and he was an amazing and wonderful man. It seems your dad is very much the same. Thank you for sharing your life and travels with us.
You are awesome Kara! Keep growing and thank you for taking us on your journey!
I’m literally so proud of Kara!!!!! I hope when I find someone I can love them at least half as much as Kara and Nate love each other! You guys inspire me with the love y’all have!!!
Hello Bekah how are you doing
And here they come! Lol....
@@rhondagardner5113 I cantttttt lol 😂! ... "but Hey🤷🏾♀️, You never know!"
@@rhondagardner5113 literally found them! That’s nuts for real!!!!!!
Hahahaha. Kara to her dad: "You're in the background here. Don't do anything weird."
Go Kara!!! Honestly that was so inspiring to watch as a woman who has also never really been without her significant other for more than a couple days! You nailed all those camera shots by the way! 🥰
“I was just already pretty fond” 😂😂 I totally feel you! Same with me & my hubby. I am excited for like a day to have all this alone time and then I miss him.
“I just show up and follow him around.” 😂
I hope it's the first and last time they are seperated like this 🥺. K&N just belong with each other ❤️
Best quote “I was already just pretty fond”. My husband and I look forward to your videos every week!
I still think it’s crazy you’ve never traveled alone, and how y’all haven’t left each other’s side! Great job getting out of your comfort zone Kara!
Isn't it a beautifully empowering feeling to travel solo? Loved seeing you experience it for the first time. Keep it up 👍
It’s true!!!
Kara I’m so happy your going to Michigan my home state! You’ll love it
It's when you got to your dad :) melted my heart because I know a wave of comfort came over you! :) Hope you guys have fun, can't wait for a more recent video!
Been married for 44 years to the most amazing guy - he lets me plan every adventure and just comes along wilingly - it doesnt get easier and hopefully it wont happen often ...but you appreciate your guy so much more for all he does ! happy Thanksgivng you too - glenda
Way to go Kara! You did a great job at accepting the discomfort of being solo. My husband and I travel a lot together (not as much as you guys though!) and I always feel so out of my element if I have to go somewhere solo! I really enjoyed watching this!
You GO Kara!
You can make it, we believe in you!
You’re doing well kid, Nate will be happy to see you when you get back! For only the second time in my life I went solo on Amtrak and i had some doubts about going solo and yet it built my confidence. So we’re both learning we can do more than we thought. I hope the wedding went well and everybody had a good time. Stay well “world traveler”.
When she said “hey daddy” I started bawling. It was so sweet.
Well done Kara! You should be proud of yourself. It is lovely to travel with someone else. I have travelled a lot on my own but always preferred to be with my husband, even though his definition of ‘on time’ was running to get on the plane just before the gates closed. My husband died young so grab every opportunity to be with the one you love..
You are so blessed to have done so much of life with someone by your side, but it is great to do things alone too! Best of both
Hi Kara so proud of you! I am from Ohio but, my husbands from Dubai and I travel to see family alone many times. Its a big journey and I've lived in Dubai for 27 years now and love it! The time alone lets you reflect on things and everything seems so small and you can accomplish anything you put you're mind to!!!
Kara, you are the sweetest person, I can't imagine Nate had a great time without you but some distance will always make your bond stronger.
Please, please, please keep the bathroom confessional, it is absolutely hilarious.
Awe Kara....im crying with you....so glad yall are safe back together and you got to see your adorable nephew 😉🥰💙
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I get traveling along last year I traveled to Ireland with my two best friends at 15! As soon as I lost sight of my parents I started crying immediately, I had never been away from my mom then more than a day or two. Also loved the new bathroom confessionals.😂❤️
im taking my first flight by myself in january so i totally feel you kara! im so nervous but this makes me feel better knowing you can do it as well!
Kara, you are literally the cutest person everrrr. When you were on FT with Nate and you were like "You hang up first" that was adorable!
United Business Class will always take care of you! I LOVE traveling solo on business class. It's so relaxing. Thanks for another great video!!
Having someone I truly enjoy hanging out with makes adventures that much better. Confirming that I can do those same things on my own is very liberating.
Thanks for taking us along! You did a great job on camera. I appreciate seeing the differences between one and two people doing this work.
Shes the cutest “you hang up first”
you two are amazing, I wish everyone a life that is amazing as I'm perceiving your lives to be.
Wow! I almost only travel alone, haha. I find it to be liberating and I meet soooo many cool people that I might not if I travel with someone! Love the video and insight from someone who hasn't done so before. My favorite travel channel!
I had my first solo flight last year preCovid. My husband and I were stationed in Germany for 3yrs and I wanted to surprise my dad for his birthday. So I book a ticket and I made my way to the US alone for the first time. It took 3 planes and 10+ hours but I made it and my dad couldn’t have been any happier.
I would do all over again because it’s a great experience and a challenge.
The first time I travelled alone was 2019 and then second 2020 it feels so exciting, terrifying and fulfilling all at once can't wait for the third and more. To more solo flights
Welcome to Detroit, the place I call home. You did a great job! Traveling alone feels so different than when you’re with someone you love. I’m sure Nate misses you as much as you miss him.
I love your guys videos ive been watching since 2019 and have binge watched from the beginning and I absolutely love you guys. Cant wait for more videos to come❤️
Kara you are a natural solo vlogger, you did a fantastic job, LOVED every min of it.
Aww thanks Wendy!❤️
I love watching you guys together!
You guys complete each other!💞
It was heart breaking just to see you guys apart!😢
I’m older.. it is always important to KNOW you can navigate life alone. Now you know you can! You got this!!
And yes, absence makes the heart grow fonder !! You’ll be hooked back up with Nate before you know it, coz the older you get, the faster time flies. It just hit me this year, we really are young for about 5 minutes! So it’s GREAT you guys are packing in the adventures!!! ❤️😊
I love all your videos! I have dreams to travel many places, and the two of you inspire me to make that dream true. Out of the many UA-camrs out there, I love your channel because of how genuine, sweet, curious, and goal driven you both are. Thank you for creating such a great channel, you are great at what you do and deserve everything you receive because of it!
Side note: I flew by myself when I was only 11, and traveled alone just before Covid hit. I would consider myself to be more like Nate when it comes to navigating around, but I have to agree it can be lonely and the worst part is having to awkwardly sit next to a stranger. I couldn’t imagine having to film while doing so.
First off you guys are by far my favorite UA-camrs and I’ve binge watched you two since I found you last summer! I love to see your adventures and hope you have an amazing visit in MI! I had to laugh at the end I live in Wisconsin but every time I am in Michigan I have to get Jett’s Pizza, it’s seriously the best 😁
"I was already pretty fond" had me cracking up! Flying solo is a bit nerve wracking for me every time, but also super empowering.
lol, this just shows how Relative & Subjective the world & life is. I've solo hitched boats up the entire Amazon river- Hiked the Amazon. Been in war zones & war. Crossed the Darién gap. Travelled with goats & chickens on trains through India. Trekked Mongolia & Kamchatka. Did a 300 foot scuba dive. And then there are people who are scared of flying alone 😁
The video gave me the same impression, cant call themselves travelers as they would not have a clue without money to make it very easy. Pampered poodle springs to my mind lol!
