    Who are Kara and Nate?!
    Watch our documentary here: • 100th COUNTRY DOCUMENTARY
    Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married 2013 and were super “normal.” I was a teacher and Nate started a small printing business from the spare bedroom of our apartment.
    We discovered the world of “travel hacking” while planning our honeymoon & became addicted ;)
    So after 2 years of obsessively saving $35k and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016 for a “one year” trip around the world.
    Our goal was to see as many places as possible before we ran out of money and went back home to “normal life.” We started this channel to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with living on the road and found a new passion for capturing our travels through video. So we did everything we could to keep going.
    4 years later, we achieved our new goal of visiting 100 countries and all 7 continents. We had no plans to slow down, until 2020 forced us to ;) Which is when we bought a converted van to start exploring our own country for the first time!
    After ~2 years of van life, we are back to full time international traveling! And now we are finding the best adventures the world has to offer :)
    We are incredibly grateful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎 Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey!

With the right mindset, good support, some food and a little sleep I truly believe you can accomplish anything! The countdown was more emotional than expected, you all had me tearing up :) This was my favorite challenge video series you have done. I am so proud of you all, and you didn't die!!!

You guys are all amazing. Well done!

    Rick is the friend everyone needs. So gracious of him to take the e-bike back and let Nate & Dusty ride with their Dad.
    You guys have really shown us non-Americans just how amazing the US is. I'm just back from my first trip over there (NYC) in my 55 years and now I'm planning my next one. Somewhere warm I think. NYC and Niagara were really cold last week but I had an absolutely fantastic time.
    As a cyclist myself, I hope you will allow me to recommend a puncture mitigation product called Panaracer Flataway. Rather than go with the complication of slime tubes or liquids inside tubeless tyres, this works pretty much like your dollar bill fix but way more effectively.

Your commitment, honesty, humor and sense of adventure are infectious! Even though most of us will never ride across America, you've inspired us to challenge ourselves in our own lives. Everyone's attitude was AWESOME! You had your moments and yet the energy and love for this adventure and each other kept you moving forward. I was so emotional at the end-I cannot begin to imagine how you all felt! And I LOVE the way you did the last segment, mile by mile, inserting everyone's comments/thoughts as you rode toward the end.

    Kara’s mom saying she didn’t sign up for Survivor. lol! Love it! Thanks for the reminder about the rail trail. I read about it a while back and have wanted to travel it. Really loved this video, the music and the drone footage of fall… makes me crave when I can finally be free of this “life” and go explore. And loved the ending of this video cutting to all the sentiments as the miles counted down. And I ‘m hoping the trandem becomes a fixture at the B&B in Leadville cuz it would be great to go take a pic with it. Here’s to hoping I win the Maldives trip. :)

    This was definitely one of the most incredible and physical challenges you guys have done yet and it makes for one of the best series! I really hope you continue to do more adventures like these based on what you personally enjoy doing versus what you think people might prefer, as it showcases your own personal tastes and style. Also, especially proud of you Kara and the rest of the girls for stepping up alongside the ‘dads’ and thriving though the physical endurance! Watching you kick in to ‘beast-mode’ when it gets rough is always the highlight for me! 😂❤️

      My fav serious too UNTIAL the big lie! You did not finish in the Atlantic Atlantic Atlantic Atlantic ocean you did not finish in the Atlantic ocean. Can you put those bikes in the Severn River not the same thing from all the height that it had a many of Maryland or was disappointed to see that you didnt complete your so well publicized task. It could have been epic biking over the bay bridge then into ocean city , but no you pulled into some lame parking lot near some boats a dunked the bike.
