Thank you Paukan Cruises! paukan.com/ Our last day of our Irrawaddy River Cruise was a great one! We sadly left the ship after 10 days and visited a pagoda with what Buddhists believe is the holiest Buddha statue in the world - the only one built during his lifetime. Next we got to see how the gold leaves that are placed on the statue are pounded for hours and hours. And lastly we visited the largest book in the world. We ended the day with traditional Burmese Barbecue, and that’s a wrap on our incredible Myanmar trip!!

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” and taking more trips together and finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and travel hacking over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left January 10, 2016. We started this UA-cam 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 THREE years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before Nate turns 30 (which is March 20, 2019)! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
I'm so happy that you are having a good time in Myanmar. I travel there quite often and really love the country but its sad to see that not too many people know about it. In my experience traveling South East Asian, Myanmar has got to be my favorite destination so far.
Happy to be the Best Host.
I’m so sad that your cruise is over!! I’ve LOVED the Myanmar vlogs!! Excited to see Egypt, though!
Your videos make me start my whole day with a smile! Thank you!
What amazing footage as usual. Your videos are so interesting to watch as they show us different cultures around the globe ! Love you guys
Everything gets on HOLD!! KARA and NATE are here. LOL. U people have become such an integral part that I keep checking my phone just to get a glimpse of ur notification. Loads of lov.
Love watching the 2 of you on your world travels! ❤️

I'm in my office and as soon as I got your notification I stopped everything, took a break and saw your vlog, it's amazing as usual.
You guys just bring happiness to people!
I wish that you guys could make your videos into a DVD. So interesting. I feel like I get to travel all around the world from home. Great videos!

Never wanted to go to Myanmar until these vlogs. Thanks once again, Kara & Nate!
Everytime I see your videos I get a smile on my face. You guys are amazing and so inspiring :)
Hey guys! I just watched the entire Myanmar playlist and I fell in love. Being born in Yangon but living in Singapore since I was 6 years old, I have always been interested in my own country's history and the places, and it has been so interesting and eye-opening for me to see you guys visit the villages and cities in Myanmar. I'm so glad you guys had a great time. There are some places that I haven't been to myself and I'm thinking of going there end this year in December. You scored yourself another inspired subscriber :) Happy travels!
I’m watching this video on my lunch break 😊. I wish I had an extra day in Mandalay to show you guys around.
Seeing your videos in my subscription feed makes it less painful to pry myself from my bed and get up and get going in the morning. Thanks for producing such good vids!
Another great one as always it's like a special treat when I see you post an always look forward to watching
Another great video, loved the slo-mo shots!!
Again, really fun you guys. And you're foodies like us :) "Treasure Hunt Travelers" Honesy it must have been sad having to say goodbye to those wonderful people on that boat. Kim wants us to go there now! Safe travels, Kim and James :)

Welcome to Mandalay, my home town! There are many famous places to visit and delicious foods to try... I'm really glad to see my home town in your vlog and thanks for mentioning our country...

Thanks for showing the hidden treasures to explore in one of the most beautiful yet unexplored countries in the world
As our neighbour, I'd definitely visit Myanmar in the future & get the vibes which you'd experienced in my own way
With love from Chennai🇮🇳
I love you guys you are so inspiring!! Thanks for sharing all of your adventures 😍
eagerly waiting for 500 episode..
Can’t stop watching your videos
Don’t stop! 💜
The BBQ looks amazing!
Liked the look of the Bar B Q food yummy and crossing the roads great fun thought you would be used to that in Thailand stay safe
Thank you for starting my day with a 😊🌵
Sad goodbye, but hello to some more new adventures!
You two should have gotten more subs a long time ago. This channel deserves more, you guys are amazing! I have been binging your videos.
Thank you 💜
You guys are the best.
I use a big scarf like that as a blanket sometimes! I have tons of them but always one in my travel bag just in case I end up in a cold airport, or plane, etc. And of course to use it in all the ways you suggested too.
the bbq looked amazing, i feel like my weekend is complete now i have seen your vlog.
The food in our country is very tasty and welcome to Myanmar again👍
That BBQ looked delicious and so many Veg options!! By now, you must be an expert at road crossings. Amazing video as always!!
Amazing videos that we watched. Kara and Nate....
There are some more Buddha statues out there in other Myanmar city created during Buddha life time but when it come to tourist attraction Mandalay Mahamuni is in always on top of their list because of where the Buddha statue are located in big city like Mandalay and Yangon that's how they got tourist attention more.
I am proud of how you guys successfully and safely crossed the road always packed with motorcycle. It is not easy, it also dangerous but you guys did it.
I'm always looking forward to watch some more vlogs from Myanmar.
it looked so nice
I like your videos specially your edits......👌👌
I really love your show. the last time I enjoyed such an awesome travel show was when Departures aired on Travel channel. your videography and production is absolutely fantastic. great choices in music and really great slow motion editing. keep up the good work. love from South Africa.
We watched Departures the year before we left to travel full time. We had no clue how to film or edit and I literally took notes one night on one of their episodes 😂 Loved that series!!
Good job crossing the road together!
Thank you so much for sharing it 😋
Enoki mushrooms are my FAVORITE! They take on flavors really well!
I came within half an hour of the video posting and there are already 518 views and 26 comments. Plus you're almost at 200k!!
Looking forward to the Maldives videos! I'm sure they're going to give me a serious case of wanderlust, like always.
We can’t wait to post them!!!! 😁👍🏻
Omg that food looks so delish!
I love your videos so much!!!! You guys inspire me to travel to places I would of never thought I'd want to go! Before watching this video I would of never wanted to go here but you guys have captured their kindness and genuineness when other people look it over.... I can't wait to start traveling!
BTW: Can you do an updated video on how you first started out traveling... How you got traffic on your vlogs.. How you make money to travel etc! That would be very helpful for people trying to start their own travel vlog!
You guys are awesome i cant believe you guys almost have 200k subscribers
Thank for coming and exploring my country and showing others people to our own cultures and heritages . There are still bunch of more places to visit in Myanmar. Moreover , our country is pretty save for the any travelers and tourists, the things that u guys are seeing in the news that most of them are fake and media talk , there are only fews places you cant allow to visit . PS. Mandalay BBQ is the best tho 😋😋😋
Hello Kara and Nate,
I have been following your channel since Peru and I think you guys are great. I am a Burmese and I would like to correct you on why "ladies are not allowed" at Shwedagon. It is not because the pagoda is so holy Nate, it is about traditions. Buddhism has no separation between sexes but the Burmese culture does. I hope you don't find this comment hostile. My intentions are to just inform. Keep up the great work!
Thank you, it`s important to offer Kate and Nate opportunities to learn, since they are neither particular educated in general nor informed about the countries they are travel.
It's all about the country and how serious those traditions are, here in the U.S. we had a lot of traditions that stood for a long time, (not as long as buddhaism of course) and now you get in trouble at school if you wish someone a Merry Christmas.it's a political world, I wonder how long Burma will last.
Kara pashmina's are awesome like that! Thank you for sharing that travel/packing/dressing hack!
This made me so hungry 😅 looks delicious!
2:16 "Ladies" are not allowed.
It's actually not in any Buddhist canons. It's just a part of Myanmar's culture that gets mixed up with religion.
So, it's kinda sad to see such an outdated tradition being allow in a country where arguably the most peaceful religion "Buddhism" is the dominant one.
Lovely nation with lovely people.
PS One This is also practice in old temples of India. But should be outdated by now.
Not woman are regarded as lower. But the Saints the Monks and Women naturally not meant to be together and stay close up.
Coz of the sense, the vision of women (worldly attractions) can accidentally disturb and stimulate the monks who hasnt attainted Arhat, the mental stage to overcome and ignore all greed, lust, anger, and harsh mental impurities.
For the case of the Saints the Monks attained Arhat, the sensations and stimuli never will be matter coz they have attainded an advanced mental stage.
But even in that case, a woman and an Arhat monk should not be alone certainly not coz of distractions to the Monk anymore but coz of the Scence can cause the normal people viewer who dun know abt the Monk or real situation think wrong, speak wrong, believe wrong, and cause false accusations, rumors, false news that lead to disgrace the Monk, the Sammgha, the Monkhood, the community of Deciples of the Buddha, and unnecessary explanations, answers and talks and this situation can cause bad deeds, misdeeds for the ones who think wrong, speak wrong, believe wrong, accuse wrong abt the Arhat or Normal Monk and bad big returns from the Karma if the accused person is not at false at all and even if the person they think wrong accuse wrong is Arhat Monk.
Thats why "Matuka" women should not be mixed and should stay at a limited distance lawed by the Buddha. (Rederence to Authentic Buddhist Scriptures, Theravada Tri Pitaka)
So, in Authentic Buddhism, an existence and a state (human, man,woman, animal, one at hell, one at celecial abodes) is not permanent, change 1 life after another acc. to their deeds and last mental inclination at the dying moment, so in this life one may get manhood but in next, may be womanhood. So no discrimination at heart, as forms are impermanent according to their own Karma, good deeds and bad deeds in record on self-conscious. But its super clear that a woman and a Monk should not be very near, and alone. And It just Shouldnt at all. Not Discrimination but Common Sense and Universal Proper Thing.
Women can see the Buddha, hear the Dhamma preseaching by Monks or the Buddha himself, be present in the hall, and speak to the Monks, discuss with the Monks at a proper Distance.
At Burmese homes, woman are mostly the ones who do daily paying homages, offering Buddha flowers, water, food, and light or fragrances, cleaning and maintaining the Shrine where Buddha Image that represents real Buddha stays. So they have to go near the Buddha Image to clean tto maintaim to take or place things.
As Burmese people believe Shwedagon Pagoda, enshrined with the Lord Buddha's hair relics, and this Maha Muni Image @Mandalay having placed together with the Lord Buddha when He is Alive to copy the Essence and Aura of the Buddha to be worshipped and cherished by the people and the generations to come in the absence of the Lord Buddha as a Clone Image of the Buddha.
So, they cherished and highly-valued These Sacred Buddhisy Heritages, taking to the very heart that the lands where These Heritages lie are Sacred Land and take off their foor wearings, head wearings and women keep a distance and worship humbly from This Great Buddha Image as It were the Real Buddha Himself. Every Morning, a Vernerable Monk offer cleaning scented water and perform Face Cleaning Ceremony of the Buddha Image as a daily duty since age-old time.
I feel a little sad about it too.
Ikr. These people give Buddhism a bad name. There is no mention of men and women being different in terms of holiness in Buddhism. Buddha also say that gender does not matter when practicing Buddhism when people ask him if only men can be Buddha. But they still make "ladies not allowed" signs. And the men sit wherever they want so there's even less space for women to pray. Culture is truly a bane of religion.
There are many barber shops in the US, were "ladies" are not allowed. But probably , there are more barber shops than ladies in the US.
Love you guys! I have traveled the US but have never been abroad. Now disabled and unable to travel so I live through your travel...you guys are awesome. Discovered you through Trans Siberian episodes and have followed you ever since. Thank you! Amy from Philadelphia
Hi Amy! I'm in Pottstown
Oh wow, love the BBQ. What a great way to try food. Looks delicious. Ok, Myanmar is on my list now :-)
your intro made me laugh! It's a good job we all keep an eye on these things! On a serious note, love the videos. Keep them coming. :)
U guys r awesome.. love to watch ur vlogs... lots of love frm TIBET
"so holy women cant go in "😂😂😂.Without women noone will be going anywhere...

It`s because women are impure once a month. Their impurity would defile this holy place. But since they don`t want to check if a woman is menstruating, they stop to allow women at all.
@@saltycrotchwhiff3946 Women are not impure once a month. That "impurity" is the reason you are alive, so better watch what you say.
Indian Hindu Tradition heavily deep in South East Asia .
Simply ,Tho they are Buddhists.
Misogyny is everywhere!! Even the amongst the Buddhists...
Omg that food looks so delish! I wanna have some so bad😍
Love you guys!
Love you too !!
Yes! I stopped what I was doing to watch this!
💙😉
Me too. Yaaaaaay Kara and Nate posted.....my world stopped 😆😆😆
Thanks for visit us country and #saveMyanmar.
Those mushrooms look so cool !! Haven't seen something like that before
I wish you tow come back and visit again in 2024 😁. Warmly Welcome from Myanmar. 💓
I can't wait until the trip in November with you guys! We've invited friends, made arrangements for the kids and scouted out our flights. Just waiting on confirmation that enough people have signed up!
Aww yaaaay neither can we!!! We are just waiting on the contract from the cruise company to make it officially official, there are enough people! 👏😊❤
Me and my gf love your vids!!!
Hello kara n nate i love your videos.....all the best.....iam from india....
You guys are so sweet. Really nice guys :D
Great video
Delicious food
I've literally spent the last 3 months binge-watching your videos whenever I had free time and I'm finally caught up. You're both so talented and good at what you do! Your passion and excitement for travel is contagious and I can only hope that one day I can inspire people like you do!
P.S. It's really refreshing to hear a fellow southern accent on UA-cam since I'm from NC, lol!
Hey Tori! Wow 3 months is a long time! Thanks for spending so much of your free time with us :) we are honored! much love from fellow southerners! 💜
This couple is simple and honestly depicts the scenario. Very lovely. I have also seen about 50 vlogs in the last seven lockdown days in India. I am amazed at your anchoring, not seen this quality since early episodes of Lonely Planet.
I've always loved this concept. You have all the ingredients lined up, and then you have them grilled while you wait. It just looks so delicious!! Now I really want some BBQ. Bulgogi beef over rice is one of my all-time favorite dishes.
I wish we had somewhere like that nearby. But in the States, that same meal would probably cost $20 or more.
Yes unfortunately you’re right! We said the same thing!
That bbq concept is so smart. Allowing people to choose exactly what they want and how much.
When i eat bbq i eat it oof the stick i really enjoy watching your videos and you van live videos
Wow crossing that street was enough to give me anxiety!!! Lol 😂😂😂 and those bbqd food looked amaxing!!!!
Great video as always, btw those mushrooms are called Enoki mushrooms
Hi Kara & Nate!!
Woohoo 🎉. I better tell our friends to book before it's sold out!
Another entertaining vid, thank you. By the way, your bok chow was actually long stem broccoli, still nice though.
Enoki mushrooms! I eat them with garlic and butter :) so delicious.
LOVE YOU GUYS💕
Wow you were fast! 💜😁
Kara and Nate I never comment but I had to today because I was that quick :)
Seeing karas reaction to food is how you really know food is good. Basically when it looks like she's having a spiritual experience that's the best stuff! Lol!!
I just binge watched your entire vlog over the last couple months and I'm getting to the end. 😥😱😭😭😭😭😭 I'm so sad!!!!! I think my favorite part really was Asia in the beginning. You guys were so new! I love it. Made me love Asian food too. Turns out they have a pretty good selection in the frozen section of Trader Joe's.
I also loved Ireland and Italy because those are seriously on my list.
Nate is such a protective guy🥺❤️
200K = AWESOME! 👏👏
Lol at Nate willing to sacrifice his wife to the traffic gods for a good shot! True UA-camr haha!
Ehmmm Jay I was so scared for her 😮
4:00 What a Workout! + Cardio!
I always travel with a scarf/shawl in cream like Kara’s and use it the same way. Especially good when you get into an unexpectedly cold air conditioned room and airplanes.
Oh, I LOVE those mushrooms. I want to say they are Enoki mushrooms? So flavorful. We buy them in a predominately Asian market called Ranch 99 here in California. Never thought to wrap them in bacon and grill them... oh, baby!
I think I would be quicker reading the Buddhist slabs than watching all your travel vlogs!!
