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. 😊🎥🌎

Nate jamming to music while everything around him fell and broke was the highlight of this video! 🤣
11:49 ikr 😂
I can’t stop laughing!
Yes! Clueless! It was priceless
ua-cam.com/video/RbcCvkaXF4I/v-deo.html👍
I loved that part!
Omg this was amazing! I can’t believe how many things flew out while you were driving, most of those have never happened to us 😂🙈 we had so much fun swapping with you. Can’t wait for all our adventures to come! 🌍✨
I blame Nate’s driving 🤦🏻♀️🤣 Such a fun time! 🐐🌮👏🏻 ….sorry again for the 3 things we broke and smearing a dead bug on your pillow 🤣🤣🤣
This was a fin video
Just subbed to y'all! Now going to binge watch all your videos, There goes my Sunday lol 😂
@@rosamorrison1 that’s how it goes when you find them lol
haha!
This video cracked me up… especially when Nate started jamming out as the bus was falling a part and then “it’s beautiful Clark” one of favorite movies!!!
Nate: *Rocking out*
Kara: *freaking out and panicking cause everything is falling*
Omg right 😂😂😂
I know😆😆

Same here!
Me too, lol!!!
I love how Nate is so kind to always bring coffee to Kara
OMG yes !
The chaos of Kara screaming and Nate jamming out when everything in the bus was falling had me about to pee my pants laughing 😂😂😂
Kara: freaking out about all the stuff falling
Nate: vibing to the music and not helping Kara

He was driving hahah
Nate: Let me put the bus on cruise control so I can come and help you.
@@marchasmr3535 That link is TOTALLY irrelevant. Spammer!
The van definitely - but mostly because driving a big bus around in scandinavia and europe in general will be such a bother. The roads are just too narrow in all the cool places.
Norge, Sverige eller Danmark?
Synes ikke det gør den store forskel. Norge har nok de mest kringlede veje dog.
@@Kurkess vi har lige præcis de samme efternavne
@@zag3413 Haha... der er ikke mange af os ;-)
like my jeep dosnt even fit on some off the roads.
Nate: Everything has fall in out of the refrigerator, we’ve converted the bed.
Kara: Fixing it all
Also Nate: Jamming out to music
I love the way Nate always fixes coffee and brings it to Kara while she is still in bed! So very sweet!
“Nate they broke the door” also Nate: “WHAT”
ok so kara and nate i live in crisfield and i would of died to see you and jamie we are big friends i love you guys

When did someone say, "Nate they broke the door"?

I've watched every vanlife couple I could find & so far y'all are my absolute FAVORITE!! Love y'all so much & love watching y'all's videos!! Soon as I get up in the morning I start watching y'all's channel 💜
HOL UP THEY WERE OUTSIDE MAH SCHOOL-
lol that’s so cool
Laughed my head off when I saw the draws start sliding out when Nate was driving the bus for the first time on his own. Then the bed... 😂😂😂
😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😅
Yea that was funny, the look on their face was like... gost 👻 in the bus🤣😂😅🤣
Ok the confessions of stuff you broke that had already been broken or never used had me laughing so hard tears were in my eyes. Such a great video.
I love how Kara is struggling cause everything is falling and Nate is just bobbing his head and Vibin with the music living life
Kara and nate always make my day when I'm having a bad day so I just watch them
Nate looks more scared of driving the bus than he did when he almost electrocuted himself/set him self on fire in the van 😂😂
K&N like = pure happiness. Best channel on UA-cam by far. Love you guys!
/blew up the van i think you mean :D
ok so kara and nate i live in crisfield and i would of died to see you and jamie we are big friends i love you guys
ua-cam.com/video/RbcCvkaXF4I/v-deo.html👍
too true lol
I was dying laughing when there was staring at the road and everything started falling and the camera goes back to Nate and the bed just slowly slides out LOL
Right
Hhhhhlollll
Lol
Excellent video! Really enjoyed observing the 4 of you. If I had to choose, it would be the Van because driving a bus would be too difficult almost anywhere but on highways. The van is more climate controlled, quiet and has 2 seats up front. Yet… the BUS is so much more functional for daily living/working, food prep (great when you’re vegan/vegetarian), lots of available water and has a comfortable looking bed already set up. Might not have thought that way 30 years ago, but now as Seniors with health issues, it would matter. Would like to see more vehicle swaps!
Kara: -trying to pick everything up whole more things are falling-
Nate: -VIBING-
I love the “calling the bus a van count” ☑️😂😂
Lol

The chaos that starts at 11:42 while everything is falling and Nate just has a dance party while driving! 😂
🕺🏻🤣
Thank you both for introducing me to Raya and Louis, as well as Eamon and Bec❤❤❤❤i Greatly look forward to seeing you all together again
I have lost count of how many times I have watched this video but it's so GREAT and so FUNNY I can't help but keep watching. When I'm feeling down or lonely I can always turn to this video for lots of laughter and company. Thanks to all 4 of you.
Which would you choose 🚌 or 🚐 ?
bus
but love the van
Van
Van ❤️
Bus
One of the funniest vlogs y’all have done! My fingers are crossed for an Eamon and Bec collab!!
I would die I love them all so much
That would be amazing!!
Los 2 camiones están geniales para visitar varios países. Me imagino debe ser una experiencia desafiante pero muy divertida vivir en un camión y recorrer el mundo. Saludos y sigan disfrutando.
We would definitely do the bus. We love the extra space and I'm used to driving an f550 pulling a 40 foot fifth wheel. We are actually thinking about doing a double decker bus conversion. Great video!
This was such a great entertaining video. You folks need to do more swap videos. We enjoy watching this and look forward to more like this ;)
I’d want the bus. I’ve already planned it out for myself. The determining factor was having separate spaces in a space. I need a craft room/work space.
no, unless your weather is always warm. A couple of Roma gypsies temporarily lived near my parents homestead and it was getting cold in late September, idk how they would've survived the winter in a bus.
@@Diamondraw4Real you install solar panels and attach it to an electric heating unit, if you insulate the bus it works well!
@@juliabailey96 yep plus you can also roof raise it
Why am I so obsessed with these van stuff it just so relaxing😍😌
"Grinding the beans right next to my face" that's gotta be an innuendo.
I would buy the bus hands down but I’m also a truck driver who operates a 84’ 8 axle lowboy. That bus is gravy to me. Lol
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA I’ve never laughed soooooo hard at a VLOG as I did this one. Nate is just dancing away and the bus is coming undone. HILARIOUS!!!!
Love that I'm catching up on all of y'alls videos and I have laughed the hardest waiting this one 🤣🤣
“What could possibly go wrong 😅 “
Me - A LOT
also Bus fo sho
Wow, they both are so awesome! The bus driving, with no seat belts made me nervous. My favorite part of it was the beautiful shower - to die for! And the size of the kitchen:) And the bed made up all of the time, and the roof deck!. But I would have to go with the van because of the size. I am only one person. I will have to figure out how to have a stationary bed though. I would feel much more comfortable driving it, parking it, etc! What a fun exchange - great video! Sneaking the super glue cracked me up!. Now I will go watch Raya and Louis in your Van:)
I would say instead of a full bed make the very back a twin size bed and have it also be the chair with a table next to it that can be clasped and pulled out when needed. Something like that
There is also smaller busses so you could convert on of those
nate: *intensely vibing to music with a fan next to him, living the life*
kara on the other hand - *trying not to get the bus to collapse*
I love how everything is falling down and breaking but Nate is just jamming enjoying the life😝😝
This is so funny!! When I saw Louis I was like “I’ve seen this guy before” but I really couldn’t remember from where. And later it hit me that I’ve seen him in Alfie and Zoe’s vlogs years ago. So funny to see him now in your video 😁
5:13 That really took me by surprise. The bus has quite an easygoing, bohemian feel to it, so I was impressed when that bathroom door opened up. It's like a mobile Turkish bath in there. Very nice!
I remember watching Louis in Zalfie’s vlogs like years ago!! So shocked how he somehow ended up in the videos I watch now, too!🤍
I love when the couch is sliding and Nate is rocking out to the music.
Omg I haven't watched Louis in forever! I first saw that bus with the previous owners and seeing it now brings back memories! Such a good video :)
11:37 I love how Nate is just jamming while everything is going crazy in the background and the bed slides out 😆 😂
i love the foreshadowing slides theyre so funny
also the fear in ur eyes while driving that bus.... def a factor in my consideration lmao
I have been watching your videos so cool and funny 😆 but when Nate took the food he said yes I’ve made friends 😂 so funny 😂
Just finished watching Expedition Happiness on Netflix yesterday. Thought the bus looked familiar and then the guy calls it "The Happiness Bus". It is the exact same bus from the documentary :o Nice to see its still in good use with different owners.
ua-cam.com/video/RbcCvkaXF4I/v-deo.html👍🥰
@@marchasmr3535 You have been reported.
I definitely prefer to live in a van, because if I want a motorhome it is because the flexibility it gives me, not just space. I rather have a home somewhere and travel by the van for a month or so. I like the luxury of taking long showers ;)
So u like killing turtles? Nice, but I don’t agree. :)
@@wwsneakrz2487 What car do you drive?
@@wwsneakrz2487 is that supposed to be a joke?
@@wwsneakrz2487 bruh what
@@wwsneakrz2487 What sentence is related to "killing sea turtles?" I don't agree with this statement. =/
Not Nate jamming to music while everything is falling and opening 😂😂😂😂
Kara:Omg the fridge!!
Nate:peacefully jamming out to music 😂😂
Edit:pls get this to 5 likes,not begging.
kara & nate just be so wholesome bro. their vibe radiates so much joy n warmth
The van really does have more KARActer! 2:22
Haha!
ok so kara and nate i live in crisfield and i would of died to see you and jamie we are big friends i love you guys
ua-cam.com/video/RbcCvkaXF4I/v-deo.html👍
Such a fun video!!! This also helped me make up my mind, especially when I plan doing this on my own and I am 5 feet tall lol I probably can not reach the pedals. Thank you, I trully enjoy your videos.
I would choose the van, especially if I am on my own. I currently don't travel at ALL, but I wanna go to the US at some point and travel all around US visit ever state. and I wanna visit every province in Canada. Currently I work in construction, so it would be nice to have a warm place to be in for an hour or so lol. Just casually on my break chilling in a bed!
I have never laughed so FREAKING hard in all of my life!!!!! I SERIOUSLY had tears running down my face & couldn't catch my breath laughing at the couch flying out, the drawers, the fan & the fridge! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I haven't laughed so hard in forever! Thanks!
So excited for this, been following on Instagram 😁
Can’t wait for the Rome vlog though 🙊😅🤗

Same! I can't wait to have it be like old times, even though we do really enjoy the van vlogs!
Nate Is just casually dancing around while everything is flying around back there
Great video guys. Good job. Entertaining and informative.
Imagine living in a van, having a brand new friend and try to have a sleepover, then you normally say *”hey, i’ll tell my dad to drive my house to you.”*
How has Netflix not hired you?! Seriously, you guys are like happiness in a bundle!
I really hope they don’t ! The best part about Kara and Nate is how real and organic they are , when youtubers move off the platform, they have less control of content and always end up with terrible shows:/
@@HopelessKitten agreed netflix only cares about their profit and unless they have a really great team and allow them to be flexible witb it, they would probably be ruined
Nate:*Dancing*
stuff: every thing falling and all of the things opening😂😂
i love how it was chaos back their and kara was cleaning up and nate was just jamng out:)
Yes so excited for this video! The IG stories for this vid were gold!

Hff
That was so much fun to watch!
Kara when feeds animals:
AWW YOUR SO CUTE HI HONEY

*I made friends*
The editing on this video had me laughing out loud with you both! So much fun, thanks for bringing us along!
Kara you caveddd! Still not washing our coffee pot here lol

You saw the hilarity that ensued when Kara washed the coffee pot on the bus! 🤪
Fun fact: Jesse James was assassinated when he put down his gun to dust something. So there's a lesson there for all of us!
Van life for the win!
@Cheap good quality what the heck
Lol I Loved When Nate Just Partyed And Kara Freaking Out🤣
Yore videos are Fun and funny to Watch

“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9 “For God so loved the World that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 That’s how much he loves us that he sacrificed his own Son so that we wouldn’t have to be in Jesus spot so that we wouldn’t have to suffer.💕💕

LOL WHEN NATE WAS DANCING WHILE EVERYTHING WAS JUST FALLING 😭
I think it’s interesting how they’re both different sizes
It’s very sophisticated how one is small and one is big it’s very nice
I’m curious for more 🤨
Kate and Nate do odd things, like in the video, ie switching, no wonder I love them. Where were they when I was growing up ? :)
As someone who drives a bus regularly, I LOVED watching Nate try to drive for the first time with no formal training. 🙃
Hilarious! Nate is totally engrossed in driving and vibing to music as Kara is dealing with pandemonium. Y’all are awesome. I think the goat and the bug smear are about even. On second thought...would prefer a bug vs a goat in my bed. Lol Much love. Thanks to all for this collab.. been asking for months lol
I’ve seen that bus once while driving in Maine and again right in my neighborhood on Long Island. I recognize the follow us sticker and roof rack.
Nate, they broke the door ALSO NATE “WHAT” got me laughing!
SO EXCITED FOR YOUR FIRST INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL VIDEO!! But this video is awesome! Hope you two crazy kids are having fun in Italy! 🤗
Nate telling Kara “Relax- don’t worry about a thing.” Famous last words...
