The most underrated comment
WHAAA? SINGAPORE HERSELF REPLIED?!!!!
As a local, the longest I'd ever walk is a 5-min trip to the MRT. Respect to ya'll for trudging through Singapore under the heat.
You never do route march with backpacks during your bmt ?
@@___Danny___"the longest *I'd ever walk* ", not "the longest *I have ever walked* ". Unless you say you want to willingly route march for fun
@@NograBot i signed on , do it willingly for the money
@@iloveevil86 does what ?
I hope you liked my country!
The military installation at the start of the video is actually a prison. The “prison” after that is actually an airbase!
It is also perfectly okay to chew gum, just don’t litter, and don’t sell them!
If you do this again next time, do take the Park Connector Network (PCN), definitely way more picturesque!
You're right!
Yah I was thinking there definitely a more picturesque route
true
I would imagine their aim was to take the shortest route possible from point A to point B, and that'd be 27 km (which is the route they took). But the PCN coast-to-coast trail is 36 km long! Definitely more picturesque, but I guess they planned their route in such a way that they could spend some time at the Marina Bay resort at the end of the day, after their walk, and that probably meant they'd have to take the shortest route possible.
Yes, it is Paya Lebar Airbase
You killed me when you stopped Kara from singing a public. I can’t stop laughing!! As a Singaporean, that law is only enforced if the singing causes public disturbances. Kara has a beautiful voice enough to serenade the bystanders. Hehe! But really… a meet up next time pls!
serious ah? as a singaporean i didn't know there was such a law, can they pls prosecute all my crazy neighbours & all the noisy market aunties plus kopitiam uncles in the neighbourhood...
OMG, that softboiled egg looks perfect and is definitely edible!!
for real
i would gulped that soo fast
that is the perfect egg for breakfast before school, don't need to chew, just drink
@@ocean4171 and dip the toast
yeah I cant chew food in the morning and chug 4 of them daily for bulking.
Actually I like more liquid and stir a bit with Maggi and pepper. Easiest meal on earth.
As a Singaporean, i am so happy that you guys are visiting Singapore, hope that you guys will come back and have a meet up with Singapore fans
😅😊😊😊
I'd love to go to Singapore some day! Love from New York!
Singapore is absolutely beautiful!!!
Singapore great place can go anywhere and see nice behavior no extreme racism as you will see in nearby Malaysia and Indonesia..
@@iawarenow658Singaporeans are amongst the most racist in the world. I should know , have lived there 25 years
The route Nate and Kara took is the currently developing NorthSouth corridor which explains why so many constructions. In a year or two, it will link the north to the south with beautiful greenery.
Whenever Kara & Nate compare themselves to their 2016 counterparts, you can see how far they have come in 7 years. It is astounding that they have surpassed 3M subscribers! More than double of all the other channels I subscribe to! Definitely can afford that hotel infinity pool now!
Isn't a Saturday morning without Kara & Nate..
💯 ❤
Evening where I stay 😊
100%. I'm so excited for Eamon and Bec.
Sunday here in NZ and my day off work so it's just the best way to start the day! ❤
True
I had a laugh at the part where you guys freaked out over the laws. It’s perfectly ok to bring and chew gum in Singapore, it’s just the sale or trade here that’s banned as the inconsiderate disposal of gum caused a huge mess before this law was implemented. Also perfectly ok to sing in the streets, we’ve got quite a few buskers!
I laughed when she said “I’ll give you a good price!” 😅
Thank you! Good to know. I was actually reconsidering visiting Singapore over this, because what kind of place would ban singing?
I won't go to jail for 3 months for singing? 😰😰
I always thought you weren't allow to chew it either. I freaked out and threw mine straight into the nearest bin haha
@@KissMyBiscuits It's actually anti-harassment rather than "no singing". You know how some people in the States used to go around with huge boom boxes and play them at max volume? That's why.
As a Singaporean who refuses to even walk longer than 15mins under our sun, kudos 😭😭🔥
all of us who have followed you for years finally live vicariously through your success. seeing past Nat and now Nat enjoying the fruits of your labour is so satisfying
The fact that we get free travel videos on UA-cam by Kara&Nate is truly a gift. 👏👏👏
Kara :"Do you want some gum?" As a Singaporean that cracked me up! 🤣😂 Btw, that's not the prison, it's the airbase.
You think offering gum to someone is abnormal? Kara needs to set an example as to why this law is INSANITY!!? Kara, what do you think?
@@QzAMYQz She's not offering, she's role playing as a black market gum dealer, you can figure it out when she goes "I'll give you a good price.".
You might scream "INSANITY!!!" but you forgot one important thing. To check why it was made into a law in the first place. Knee jerk reactions are never reliable.
@danielc2701 YOU are the one forgetting the main point... it's a piece of chewing gum!!!? WHY IS IT AGAINST THE LAW? Have you guys lost all of your sanity?? Are you that much of a 😺?
@@QzAMYQzit's against the law cause chewing gum once messed up our subway by not allowing the doors to close
@sierrafife That's completely INSANE!! Yeah, letting your idiotic government tell you that you can't offer gum to people sounds completely normal. You are lab rats! Grow a pair, Dude!
Even I am not singaporean, I am really proud of what you have been shown in this amazing video. Singapore is the safest country with amazing food and cultural diversity!!!
❤Singapore. Hands down my favourite 'Easy City' (a no brainer guaranteed clean- safe-efficient) My last trip was exactly a year ago today. That was visit no.11. Love from Melbourne
I love singapore just came back from a trip there a couple months ago. Truly an amazing place of mixed cultures and religion. How you two walked for over 11 hours in that heat is beyond me. I personally tapped out after 25 minutes everytime I tried going for a walk in that heat. Love you guys.
It really would have been nicer for you guys to walk from Changi Airport to Marina Bay, through the ‘Jurassic Mile’. There are park connectors in the east that passes through parks and beaches - specifically East Coast Park where you can see Marina Bay Sands in the distance. Most people cycle this route, but I reckon it would have been great to walk in the shades of trees, then be rewarded with seafood in East Coast Park.
Going through a bad break up of 10 years with my child’s father and you guys bring so much positive into my life I look forward to your videos! I have watched every single video.
Hope things get easier for you! 💜
Facts
So sorry you’re going through a tough season, hang in there 🫶🏼 so glad we can help even the slightest bit! You are amazing ❤
@@KaraandNate love this so much. this made my day 🥰 thank u!
Rooting for you!!! Kara and Nate are the positivity we need! ❤️
As a former expat who had lived there for 13 years during the 70's and 80's, I thank you for showing other areas of my home that I miss so much. Although SG has changed so much, I would still love to return one day. Keep up the great content guys, you rock!
Same here. I miss especially the food.
You reminded me of the red haired singer from ABBA
@@SuccessforLifester who, me??
@@Nikki_Paige Yeah
I was an expat in the 80’s. We may have passed each other on Orchard Rd.
As a Singaporean, this makes me excited THE Kara & Nate in my country! Hope you enjoyed the walk!
Baby Nate vs. Now Nate: 7 years and one mustache later, he's definitely gotten more open about spending money! 😄🥰❤
And we ALMOST even rode the Ferris wheel!! Lol
@@KaraandNate LOL, Almost! Soooo close you could almost see the riders having fun! 🤣
And he looked a lot better back then. What is it with that extra hanging over the sides mustache🤮😊
Kara and Nate never fail to deliver! They are so determined and adventurous!
And rich lol
@@jonathonvince561 no they aren't. They have a company called Daily Drop that entitles them to Steep discounts for all of the travel needs.
@@TheresaPowersThey are rich now, and that’s ok. I’ve watched them backpacking through different countries when they first started out and were on a tight budget. Now that they have money it’s so cool to see them doing all the luxurious things. I’m sure they (Nate) are still frugal and get sponsored trips sometimes, but you can kinda guess how much money they make by how many subscribers and views they have on here and across all the other social medias.
@@sarahduong13 People are so bitter lol.
Maybe riding bikes would have been better!!😂😂
you came so far Kara and Nate. From dreaming to achieving!!!! so proud of you guys and sooo glad to be a part of your journey
Wow, that’s something crazy us locals would never do in our climate. Props to you guys and enjoy the MBS reward!!
Quite good y’all decide to do this video in my home country. Quite happy y’all get to experience some of it. I do feel that there were some missed opportunities like comparing the black and white carrot cake, going through MacRitchie Reservoir instead of Ang Mo Kio construction or going through Clarke quay. Kind of sad y’all didn’t explore the east and west of the country. The geylang area got a lot of food to offer. Also the laws are more relaxed than you think, everyone jaywalks here, you can consume gum all no problem. The egg yall cooked can be eaten. It’s called soft boiled egg, something we typically eat as singaporean breakfast. Next time y’all come to Singapore, y’all should have a Singaporean guide
We're going to Pulau Ubin (and Changi prison) in a few weeks. What do you recommend for history/architecture/food/hike lovers on the west coast? We're still missing plans in that area!
@@TalesFromOurPocket Hi guys, I'm sure you'll enjoy a walk up Mount Faber, coast down to Labrador Park, swing back to the Rail Corridor in Bukit Timah, and possibly head further West to the Kranji War Memorial.... ✌
Fucking stop saying the word "y'all"
Kara and Nate, Sailing La Vagabond, Eamon and Bec, Kinging-It, Raya and Louis, and friends. Positive content that enriches life’s adventures. Thanks for continuing to provide positive vibes!
Couldn’t agree more! Add hardest geezer to the mix as well.
I really resisted subscribing to more travel vloggers but fell in love with all of their personalities and watch all of them religiously now!
Trent & Ally
Over SLV after he puts his kids right next to monkeys and got attacked. Just horrible parenting.
@@maxwhitlock1558 Parenting can be a little rough sometimes. Whether you’re on a far away beach with monkeys, or anywhere else in the world, bad things happen, the important thing is to love, care for, and encourage their growth as humans. Bad things happen to good people in life, it’s how they react that matters.
Congratulations guys! That's awesome! It was fun watching you guys explore Singapore!❤️
Great of both of you to actually attempt walking from north to south of my home country. You guys were literally like 10 mins walk away from my house in Woodlands. Though, you took the longer route. There's a faster walking route and I've done it several times. Took me about 8-10 hours depending if I'm carrying some load. If you guys are back, you guys have to check out the eastern part of Singapore, there's plenty of hidden gems there.
As a singaporean im so happy you guys ate visiting singapore 🤭 ive been watching your videos for over 4 years and im so happy you guys are in singapore ❤️
Great video, guys! I ran Singapore West to East last year and it was so hard. The humidity is killer!
I have no idea if yall will see this, but i had to leave a message. I found your vlogs last weekend because i really want to travel the US in my 4runner or maybe a van, and i cant stop watching. I love you guys so much. So much so that im watching all your vlogs in order. I love how your TN accents were thicker in the beginning (im from Knox), especially Nate. You guys inspire me. I love your positive attitudes, your honesty and realness and super love the content. Keep it up!!!!
This video made me so happy! I lived there 25 year ago and it was so great to see the new things but so many familiar things too. I can still feel that hot humid jungle air. Singapore really is a true melting pot of cultures.
so happy to see you guys come this far in your journey! I remember in one of the videos you saying "Kara and I are not really deep people" and here you are meditating
Knowing you guys couldnt stay there in 2016 and now you can makes my heart so happy! This was a wonderful video like always .
Omg!!! i'm late to the party, but welcome to Singapore!!! We have a island wide network of walkways (PCN) that would have made a much, much nicer walk, and East to South would have been more interesting/fun/delicious too!
Kudos on the walk! I tried to walk across from West to East and I only made it half way. Trying to conquer the "tiny" island makes you rethink that the island isnt that tiny after all. Also its weird seeing you guys in my old college 😅
Awwwww.... I'm so upset I didn't bump into the 2 of you here in Singapore! Thank you for visiting my beloved country. Hope to see you soon again! ❤️
i used to live in singapore and this was so amazing to see all of the surroundings this is one of my new favorite videos
That pool plunge was EPIC & very much DESERVED ❤❤❤❤
Did they not shower before changing though? random thought since they just walked 22 miles and were very sweaty
So fun to see the loving interactions between the two of you. My fav couple✈
Burt Reynolds called, he wants his mustache back.😂
I've barely started this video, but already getting sentimental because I started watching Kara & Nate during COVID when they were travelling from the Philippines to Singapore. Crazy to think it's been more than three years since then!
It’s mind blowing!! Thanks for sticking around ❤️
This brought back so many memories of my visit there in 2005 to cover the International Olympic Committee session at which London was selected to host the 2012 Games. One of my favorite memories was lying down at my hotel pool and hearing the calls to prayer at the very mosque you showed.
I love how entertaining you make everything!! It was worth the blister Kara!! And thanks for the fun facts Nate! ❤
Fun to see you visit my second home. There are several parts of Singapore “north” to explore. Mandai Zoo for example. Walking/biking the railway corridor from the causeway to the Tanjong Pagar railway station is another “cool” thing to do. Safe onward journey.
I love the fact that we can go on these adventures with them
Not a REAL weekend without the routine of watching my FAVORITE YT traveling couple. I love what you guys do & you absolutely inspire me. Keep it up you 2.
man you are a legend, you make your dream come true. you and kara are the best we ever see in youtube
thank you both for giving us hope.
I discovered and subscribed to your channel shortly after your 2016 trip to Singapore as I was doing some research for my trip to there. Can't believe that was 2016! Thanks for the many hundreds of hours of entertainment!
Come visit Singapore again soon!! And next time, do West to East! But please consider taking public transport... Double deck bus rides are a great way to travel! 😀
Kara you look fab in this video!! Love how you guys can make the most random goals and also make them interesting to watch haha. Love it
Wow massive respect to walking the length of Singapore in the Singaporean heat. I've only done that once as part of a hike for a Scouts activity and I can imagine how painful that can be 😂
Anyways so cool that you literally walked past my house at Toa Payoh (where y'all had the white carrot cake), I may have seen y'all without realising it at the time
Nate just doesn't look like the old Nate that we all knew. This newer mustach concept keeps throwing me off. Does anyone else agree?
Oh man, I’ve been walking around Singapore so much these days to train up for a hike… but I haven’t made it to Sembawang hot springs!! Fun fact the springs were discovered on land that that was owned by one of my family members in the 1900s. It was a pineapple plantation at the time. So I totally should check it out. Also that road you were crossing when you said you made it, is real close to my place. That place with the lights is dodgy haha so many dodgy ktv and massage places around the edge of Little India.
You guys are absolutely phenomenal each new video of yours is like a gift :-) Love you guys so much Hope you are doing wonderfully keep up the amazing fantastic awesome work so glad to be a part of your journey
Im a theatre and film major and I love to watch you two and your process, very inspiring!
I used to live in Singapore and I miss it so much. This video is bitter sweet as I've not been able to go back to visit yet :')
Watching this from Monaco and screaming Monaco at my screen at the 15:00 minute mark....I would very much like to experience Singapore as you do. Goals.
You two really have THE BEST vlogs!! I am ready to book a trip to Singapore now.
Y’all are always doing something. Love it.
We have much more to offer up in the North of Singapore! Could be good content one day to visit Yishun for all the good food we have to offer and to spend a day at Northpoint City! Welcome to Singapore Kara and Nate!
Amazing video and dedication to walk so much in a day, and explore Singapore in an unconventional way! Welcome to Singapore! 👍🏻🇸🇬
Welcome back to Singapore Kara and Nate❤ Kudos to you guys for doing this.
What an adventure! Jumping in the pool at the end looked so refreshing. Stay you✌🏼
you guys should have walked along our very extensive park connectors or island wide routes, which have nicer views then the construction zones and road sides haha
There are undoubtedly more picturesque waking routes from Woodlands to the CBD, via the Park Connector Network (PCN), but good on you guys for not just showing the usual tourist hotspots. The reality of Singapore, is that there are construction sites and roadworks everywhere all the time. This place will never be finished.
Wow, you guys are crazy.. I lived in Singapore for 16 years, I never tried such long walk across Singapore. Thanks for sharing wonderful experience.
Giving me inspiration to do the same walk from the North. Happy to see you guys enjoying the city! Newfound fan!
Hi, Kara & Nate, welcome back to Singapore. It’s great to see my favourite UA-camrs in my home country. It was a feat walking in the tropical heat for a whole day from North to South. It was a pity both of you missed the greenery route & was on concrete & construction area instead. Maybe next time, you can consider the 36 km Coast to Coast trail that goes past lots of parks & greenery. We have lots of Park Connectors trails (PCN) that link up almost the whole island. I’m sure it would be a much more pleasant & interesting walk. Just give a shout next time you are heading this way again & we can point you to nicer places to walk & explore.
As for the chewing gum, Kara, don’t worry, you can go ahead & chew all you like. We are allowed to bring back chewing gum from overseas for personal consumption. It’s just that you can’t buy any here because it is not allowed to be sold here. The control is on the sale of chewing gum, not personal consumption.
And also, Kara’s attire is perfectly fine. The outrage of modesty applies more to instances such as upskirt photo taking, molest, peeping toms & such, not so much of personal dressing style.
Hope to see both of you swing by Singapore again. We have lots of other yummy food that you should try.
Both of you have come a long way from your early videos, which were really genuine and real. You guys deserve all the success you've enjoyed!
You guys are awesome, you went to the untrodden places, they are beautiful too, thanks for showcasing them!!
Pretty fun seeing which places i recognise or have walked through myself :) especially the yishun and yio chu kang parts
actually the egg that yall cooked at the hot spring is edible! singaporeans eat soft boiled eggs like that for breakfast! it's realllyyyyyyy good 🥹 and that egg yall cooked was actually perfect
I almost said to my screen “I’d eat that for you!!”😂
Soft boiled eggs are a thing where they are from also. It was maybe just a bit too undercooked for them to meet soft boiled stage. (runny white)
@@jonap5740 I’m also from the USA 🙃
I’m so happy and excited that you were able to take the dip in the pool. I remember watching that 2016 video and thinking one day they will get there and look at you know. Wow!! I have been following you guys for a long time. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. ❤
hello kara & nate, im a citizen of singapore and i've been watching your video all the time! i also highly recommend you guys to try walking from west to east if you all ever come back again as that is the most famous route!
This video absolutely made my evening, you guys just cracked me up .
This is legitimately SO funny. Loved being a part of your long walk :)
Love the sponsor! I kind of want you to do a real trekk! Like a hike or a trekk where you carry your own backpack and walk over multiple days. Like a week. I have been to the far north of Sweden and done that. Swam in icy rivers and fought of mosquitoes... Slept in tent and enjoyed a lot of spectacular views.
Glad the both of you explore outside of the touristy zones!
Wow, welcome to Singapore hope you guy enjoy your holidays, we always welcome friendly tourists.😊🥰👍🏻
As someone without any dietary restrictions I SO appreciate seeing you try a variety cultural foods! I use videos like this to guide what I try when I visit new countries, but a lot of the UA-camrs I follow have gone vegan. Of course I’d still 1000% support you if you switch diets, but for now I just want to share how much I love watching you try foods that I would try too! ☺️
I was in a car accident yesterday and was pretty down in the dumps. But this seriously took my mind away from everything. Thank you for what yall do!
Were you hurt?
@@hillaryscott9137 thankfully no! Neither was the other person. Both cars are mostly likely gonna be totaled tho
I hope I’m not the only one that’s ribs were hurting after she started singing a whole new world! I love you guys you are seriously two of my favorite travel celebrities on UA-cam and it is so worth watching her singing and you instantly panicking.
My heartiest congratulations 🎊 to both of you .I'm a Singaporean ,now living in Toronto .Canada 😍 👍👏
Would be really cool to have bumped into you guys! Happy that you're back visiting Singapore :)
At my school we have a club and I did meditation and our teacher made us do headspace. It really made me think about myself and who I wanna be. So happy that the video is sponsored by them! Love your videos!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please come to Malaysia Kara and Nate. I’ve been following you guys since your first travel vlog. It’s amazing to see you are making your way back to Asia again !!! Such an idol
Hi, if you were to plan walking across Singapore again, I recommend walking from the North-east to the city centre in the south instead. The route that you took just so happened to also be the exact locations where an underground highway and metro line are being built, which is why you kept running into construction sites
*I got my cup of coffee and I'm ready for an adventure! Sending good vibes to you and everyone you love. 🥰*
Yay!☕️🥰💗
The 'prison' along Woodlands St 11, is part of an airbase :) And you can eat gum, just not sell it. Congrats for completing the journey! 😊
woodlands st 11 have prison and airbase?..why i dun know ?
@@aljunyao3609 Haha, you will see a very long stretch of fencing along the road. It's part of an airbase.
@@DellBoy81 are you sure is woodlands st 11?woodlands st 11 and 13 only have swimming pool and marsiling mart and also stadium..plus police station..when can u find nee soon airbase?..are u sleeping .
@@DellBoy81 u can take mrt to marsiling station and walk to see woodlands st 11..is just a minor small road,just beside the ntuc fairprice loading bay.
@@aljunyao3609 Ah, you are right! So sorry! I mistook as Woodlands Ave 12!! Silly me lol.
Hahaha love this ! I could feel the relief when you walked in that aircon and jumped in that pool!! Good job guys :)
lovveee the new videos in singapore, ive been there twice and its my FAVRITE COUNTY EVER♥️♥️♥️
You guys are so funny. Thanks for making me laugh even when you where in about 10 miles to 20 miles of walking on 30 mins of sleep.
Glad you made it to the pool.
Welcome to Singapore Kara & Nate! Didn’t know you are going to spend this much time in my hometown. Hope you enjoy yourselves while here！
Really love seeing your video! Hope to see both of u when u come to Malaysia again
Love your stuff! Here is something fun to consider - Starting small, the Ragnar Relay Series has grown from a single relay in Utah to the largest overnight relay series in the nation. Some call it a movement. We call it Ragnar.
WELCOME TO SINGAPORE KARA AND NATE! Hope you guys enjoy your stay to the fullest here!
and yes. as a fellow who stays up here in the northern part of singapore, there really isnt anything special here. the central and south area is basically where all the fun happens
is cheaper to live in the north though, right?
Just love these two!! Took me half a second to figure, "Asia's smallest country". Oh yeah, SINGAPORE!!! It is a fascinating country. Just. do. not. commit. crimes in this country. Just travel. eat. enjoy. Great video Kara and Nate!!!
Love you guys. Always put a smile on my face. ❤
Enjoyed that little adventure and finished with a pool dip ! Yes
