WOW who knew Kazakhstan was so beautiful? We had a long layover in Almaty and made the most of it. Highlights include: Tricking our Uber driver to take us to Big Almaty Lake, dance partying on top of a mountain with locals, and exploring a local market with horse meat.

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 home 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 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
I'm from Kazakhstan, and you guys honestly don't know how you're changing the perception of my country ofc in a best possible way, I absolutely love your content, keep on uploading, best wishes
Unfortunately they were only in Almaty, my point is Astana more adorable city
OnTheSameDay ololo I agree, as I am citizen of latter, but I would say that these two cities are too different to be campared on a same level.
Aisulu Zhaksylyk Fortunately, they weren’t in Atyrau. No one has yet said "adorable" about our city. 😆😆
I'm from Karaganda, so please, hold my beer)
Максим Перов no need to think like that. Atyrau is adorable, except its petroleum plant
Hi Kara & Nate - Wow Kazakhstan - not a normal holiday destination - the city looked much more modern that we expected. We we're watching with real interest and we are driving across Kazakhstan from the UK as part oF.a crazy adventure we are planning. Great vlog - cant believe you managed to cram so much in, in just one day. Looking forward to the next one - Chris & Marianne 🙂 🙂
It’s amazing to see that you guys finally made it to my birth town! I haven’t been back there in 15 years, and I am so happy you enjoyed yourselves. It’s a beautiful place full on nature, history, delicious fruit and veg, and one the most generous people I’ve ever met in my live.
Kara, what you ate at the market is called ‘Lagman’, and it’s pretty traditional. It is still my favorite dish from my childhood, and it brought back so many warm memories. 🙌
Amazing video and hope you get to visit Kazakhstan again and stay there for much longer next time.
P.S not everyone in Kazakhstan eats horse meat...it’s just a choice. Trust me, it doesn’t taste as bad or ‘special’ as you might think 😊
Julia Rockwell take me please with you to Kazahstan;)
Dastan Drow Where are you from? If you really want to go there, there are no ‘immigration’ rules that can stop you - you can also have a really good time there with a tight budget.
I would love to visit Kazakhstan as I have a very personal connection to the country, but I am also scared because if I do go there, I will never turn back! Let it be your lesson of how awesome the county really is! 😉
Julia Rockwell I’m from Kazakhstan. But now I’m living in California. And don’t know when I will ready to go back.
You two are such a lovely couple! I’m so happy you enjoyed your time spent in our motherland:) Big Almaty lake has the most spectacular views, so visiting that place was definitely a great idea. thanks for coming! btw, I know you may find it weird that we eat horse meat, but trust me, it’s delicious😂🌚 you should try it sometime) big hugs from Almaty!😊❤️❤️
Dana Subakhanberdi Horse also isn’t uncommon in many countries in Europe, including Germany, France, Italy ;)
We lived in Almaty for two years. The dish you ate at the Green Market is called Lagman. Traditional dish in Central Asia.
So what kind of meat did they get in that? It wasn't horse meat, was it?
And how come you moved?
@@maladetts it was most likely beef. Lagman, when made right, is freaking awesome. It's the food of one of the Muslim minority groups in the area, the Uyghur people. Most of the best food in the 'stans is Uyghur food.
I'm a Thai security in Thailand,and sitting in front of The republic of Kazackhtan(Tjailand)The people(Emplyees)are friendly and politeness!!! They are great!!! They build positve thinking on my first sight and forever....
I was born in Kazakhstan and moved to US when I was 9. So I was supper expecting to see this video, and a little upset that it’s so short 😔 I wish you could’ve stayed for a few days..
You should of tried (бешпормак) Beshbarmak, we used to eat it on holidays and special celebrations:) my mom still makes it today it’s very delicious, traditionally they make it with horse meat but my mom always makes it with duck or pork(we don’t eat horse)
Hoping to make it back to see more one day! We were excited that our long layover gave us a taste of what it's like!
Beshbarmak with pork. I find it little weird. Don't you? :)
I’m from Kazakhstan too! And I wanna go to USA, I wanna see New York, Los Angeles, Miami etc with my real eyes. And we eat Beshbarmak too, every holiday. KZ is very beautiful place, I wish u could come back here and feel this beauty again
sorry, but if you want to see bigger vlogs about Qazaqstan nowadays. For example, alkettik channel
@@alishakhan9294 It is like i am gonna eat indian food with beef😂
Recently found this channel and I was in love with it almost immediately. I have been binge watching all the videos :) Great work Kara and Nate. Although I cannot travel the entire planet, it is lovely to see it through your eyes.
Thank you so much 😁❤
“His name is Daiwoo” - classic 😂😂😂
that was so freaking hilarious 😂😂😂
Had no idea that americans pronounce it wrong too. In korean it sounds like Tewu.
Nexia. Deawoo Nexia

Loved the video, so nostalgic! I went to Almaty after the Nomad Games to catch my flight. I had no idea the city would be so cool! Can’t wait to watch the videos from Kyrgyzstan btw ❤️
It is cool to watch other people’s view of your birthplace. As you don’t know how will they react to our traditions, customs, food, landscape and people. That is incredible!💎
I LOVE the casual 50 cent playing in the background while nate is explaining food !
Im thankfull to you for demonstrating my country in a very good way because it is a really incredible place with its mountains, lakes, canyon, rivers, very kind people(as ur uber driver😅), traditions, delicious food and etc. I hope u will have a chance to come back and see this kindness of kazakh people who will definitely show u the rest miracles of Kazakhstan:) Wanna tell u that u have chosen very good places to visit(of course there are much more amazing places to see)Thanks for visiting , hope u enjoyed it❤️
btw, this was shot last year and Almaty has already gotten even prettier and more modern. also, as far as i know, we don't really use uber, hence the driver "shortage". Ecotaxi is the most used as well as trustworthy taxi provider i know. When you decide to visit Almaty again I can definitely give some more tips from someone who was born and raised there, me :D
I’m so glad that someone like you showed my lovely city from a better side. Thank you!
Okay those Beef Kababs looked so good. This seemed like the best layover ever! That 'milky' lake though 👌- Trevor
I live in Kazakhstan.This video makes me so happy.We'll look forward to Kazakhstan💕💕💕
WOW... You guys did so much in 24 hours!!!... The blue color on the Almaty Lake was gorgeous!! the Uber driver was cool too!.. The food looked so yummy!!! can't wait for the next episode!!
So true on all of the above! The lake was unreal.
You guys had Lagman noodles in the market. It is a Turk dish and they have it in XInjiang (North-West China), Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan and probably in the other 'Stan' countries. It is super delicious as you both found out! We got to try some horse meat in Kyrgyzstan last year at our couchsurfing host's place in Osh. She had cured horsemeat, a bit like Jamon Serrano in Spain and it was actually pretty tasty! Really looking forward to your upcoming videos as we were supposed to have hitchhiked to the World Nomad Games but cut it our trip short in Azerbaijan and flew to SE Asia instead. Thanks for sharing!
Timezone Junkies Lagman national food of Uygurs Turk. Good knowledge you got there, I’m from Kazakhstan but Uygur myself, and live in belgium now
Lagman is served all over central Asia. I'm fairly certain it's origin is actually the Chinese beef noodle soup called La Mian or Lamen. Which by the way was also the origins of Japanese Ramen soups, though the Japanese over the centuries substituted pork for beef.
"Our driver's name is Daewoo."
Thanks for being a good sport and leaving that in, Kara. I haven't laughed that hard in a while.
There are many interesting places in Almaty. If you want to fly to Almaty you can go to “Mega” and “Mega park” these are a big shopping houses. There is a “Medeo” it’s a big rink on mountain. I was in this places, they are amazing!
For anyone interested, Almaty is the largest city in Kazakhstan. Almost everyone there speaks Russian but Kazakh is the official language. The guard asked them for 1300 tenge to get to the lake. Also the lake where he said we got drinking water is actually for showering, ect. In Kazakhstan you can't drink from a tap, the water isn't the cleanest and has chlorine in it.
This is so, so, so much fun! A small anecdote: Looong before I married Hero Husband, he always said, he'd only marry a woman doing their honeymoon in Kazakhstan!!!! (we didn't..., as at the time we lived in the UK and we were there for a job). I do now understand why he said that 25yrs ago! You are so fabulous, you two - making the best of every situation.
Yassss! Love the new vlogs, so many new exciting places I’ve never seen before. Quite a party 🎉 on the hill and the milky blue lake, Ahmazingly beautiful!!!
the editing is so fun! I love it!
was wondering more about Kazakstan, that was great, Dimash is from there! ever hear of him? 6 octaves range last note is off the piano, google dimash d8. thanks, u guys so many countries.
enjoyed watching your video guys! many thanks for showing my country in such a nice way)
You guys did superb job.....I just visited last week as I had 14 hours layover....almaty is really amazing...
This is first time I saw nate dancing (or trying to at least) 🤓😀
Nate dancing made my night!
Как приятно смотреть видео по типу таких
Amazing! Amazing! This is the most beautiful country in the world!
Damn , I am so happy when someone sees how beautiful is Kazakhstan
Haha I thought the title said "almighty travel vlog" and I was like ok that's awfully bold. Great video as per usual
Hahaha 🤣
I am so amazed with your travel Vlogs and you encourage me more to travel and see the world by my two eyes. I also love traveling and aiming to visit 50 countries. 1/50 at this point haha. Hope I could travel or join the both of you traveling and vlogging in different places/country! Kara your super sweet and nice. Love your channel and love you both.
Just came across your channel and am amazed by your vlogs which has a great feel to it .
1. Amazing vlogs.
2. Great background soundtracks.
3. Awsome Editing.
Here I subscribe and follow you guys around the world .
Good luck and stay safe and enjoy the moment.
Thank you for the Videos 👍
Is anyone gonna acknowledge the dog at the beginning? That thing was scary!
Right??? Terrifying 😂
Ahaha I jumped when it barked 😂
Dogs are savage predators, not fluffy pets.
I guess it was Caucasian Ovcharka...
U MUST COME TO AKTAU! near Caspian sea, on western side of Kazakhstan! U will see really beauty of steppe!
The water color reminds me of YT videos, from RVers of Alaskan lakes. Where the water is running off of mountain top glaciers. And the flat sandy area with the creek/river looks like an old glacier bed. Uber driver was a savey business man. Why dead head it back to town, when you can take a nice break/nap and get paid to drive back. Hotel probably gets a cut of that $50 for the taxi. That's the way it works, even in the US. That's how certain night clubs get all their business, kick backs.
Do you guys travel carry on only? Would love to see a video on how you do that and if you need to check your luggage in on certain airplanes? I’m also looking for an away luggage and backpack setup. Love your videos & shared with my fam 🤗🧡
They said at the start of the vidéo they were waiting for their bags in that first hour
Could depend on the airline of course 😅🙂
true! good catch, didn't realize they said that. Still want to see a packing video tho ☺️☺️☺️ @@customkiwi
That market is the same one that the Amazing Race went to in the 2020 season!
Check out "Walking Almaty" tour at your next visit. It's a guy from the US that runs that place and he probably knows more about the city than the average local citizen.
So beautiful it is
Oh my gosh! I am literally freaking out! If only I knew you were coming, I would’ve take you around. Gosh
Heyyy, guys! Thank you so much for doing such a great content! Subscribed😉 I’m from Kazakhstan and glad to see my beloved Almaty in your video 🥰
OFF THE BEATEN TRACKS ... BRAVO TO YOU TWO AND BON VOYAGE!
My Family comes from kazakhstan, and i have To Tell you that Almaty, so the City and the landscape you saw are Not typical for Kasakhstan. Yes it is Part of ist but only the eastern Part. The country is Huge and so does the landscape vary. As a Tourist it May Be Not As interesting As almaty but thats How you would experience the real life and Not the Tourist life. Everything is completely different in the Other Parts of kazakhstan!! Almaty is the biggest City, all the other Cities Are Not Even a Bit like Almaty. ☺️ But sooo cool that you Visited kazakhstan !!!
Hey)come Kazakhstan again, We wait you:)
I'm from Kazakhstan, Almaty!🌺
Hi you cam to surround our country, if i know you come to close i will visit Kazakhstan its amazing keep it up K&N love you both of you. from Afghanistan :)
I'm definitely coming back as a Turkish Ice cream vendor!
The Police officer asked you to pay 1300 in Kazakhstan currency. But super cool that you have gone to a country that is not explored by vloggers. I would also recommend Lviv, Ukraine ( beautiful place and super-historical)
Lvov is occupied by literal Nazis, glorifies and cosplays them on every corner, and is reeking of Nazism.
NOT RECOMMENDED for anybody in their right mind, at least till its liberation and a second Nuremberg trial (where Khristina would probably be prosecuted as a collaborator).
@@maladetts no offense, but I have been to Lviv and not Lvov multiple times. No Nazis and no Nazism in that city and it is super welcoming. 90% of the population speaks English, so it is super easy to explore. In regards to prosecution - no one prosecuted anyone there for CENTURIES. So, before you make these type of comments I would recommend for you to get a ticket and go visit.
@@KhristinaL85
How is it not Lvov, when it is. "Lviv" is a strictly Ukrainian spelling, yet you wrote "Ukraine" NOT in Ukrainian right afterwards, so you might as well just be consistent in your Ukrainian nationalism.
It's really hilarious how you dare lie so cynically right to people's faces about , while Lvov is literally the proud capital of Ukrainian Nazis. They LITERALLY wear Nazi uniforms in that city in broad daylight. They do church services and even funerals in that uniform. They do Nazi marches with torches at night and cosplay WWII Nazi collaborators marching during the day right in the streets of that lawless city. Their cafes and restaurants are openly Nazi-themed, a waiter wearing a Nazi uniform will greet you at the entrance. They openly sell Nazi-propaganda books right in the middle of their streets. In Lvov schools, mad Nazi ideologists, like Ms. Farion, would enter classrooms and start intimidating little kids into rejecting their non-Ukrainian NAMES and their ethnic heritage, filming that on camera.
Nazi murderers, who've been killing women and children of the Donbass region for four and a half years now, force civilians of the Lvov region to KNEEL in the mud on the side of the roads during their funeral processions, honoring dead Nazi war criminals. They openly glorify Nazi thugs back from WWII honoring them as their heroes. They erect MONUMENTS to those war-era murderers and force KIDS to stand guard by those monuments in their little Nazi uniforms. They've DEMOLISHED all of the WWII monuments dedicated to those who fought and defeated Nazism. They put a BAN on the Victory Day over Nazism and persecute and beat up those few old veterans who were fighting Nazism and are still alive. Instead, they openly honor their surviving counterparts, the Nazi collaborators during WWII, proudly marching them around the streets, praising them, greeting them with flowers and decorating them with fake Ukrainian-nationalist "medals".
Currently, in the Lvov region and nearby cities they've issued an OFFICIAL BAN on the Russian language and the Russian "cultural product".
This is in full swing now since 2014 when the Nazis came to power in Ukraine, yet Lvov had been famous for its Nazism well before. And you put on a poker face and, throwing all shame aside, say how there's ??! Well, you've definitely shown your true colors.
While all of this is so easily searchable even right here on UA-cam, for anyone who, by some miracle, still doesn't know about this.
And you're confusing the words "persecute" and "prosecute". PROSECUTE means "punish by law" and "bring to justice". This is what needs to be done to all Ukrainian Nazis and their loyal little servants.
Now if you speak of PERSECUTION, it's even funnier how you would say . Despite what's been going on there just in the last 5 years alone, and all the years before that starting with the breakup of the Soviet Union, NOT SPEAKING of all the most brutal war crimes of Ukrainian Nazis in Lvov and all of Western Ukraine, as well as nearby Poland and Belorussia, during World War II that happened just in the middle of the TWENTIETH CENTURY. This is just astonishing how someone like you can deny even that, just completely erasing even WORLD WAR II from their mind, and not even be ashamed about it one bit!
And this is exactly what they do to kids and young people in Lvov.
And naturally, this Nazi den has to be cleaned out first, before anyone sane can even go there.
And portraying open Nazis and barbarian war criminals and murderers who attack and humiliate veterans, demolish monuments, kneel people down, march with torches, walk around with guns, beat up people for the "wrong"-sounding name or the "wrong" language, gang up on anyone in military-style squads right in the middle of the street in broad daylight, and who issue an OFFICIAL BAN on your whole ethnicity and culture - as "super welcoming"?!?! And as "90% English speakers"??! Are you kidding?
@@maladetts "Lviv" is the international spelling of the Ukrainian city. "Lviv, Ukraine" and not "Lvov, Ukrainian" - because no one names a geographical location with possessive. Everything else that you have mentioned in your comment is a wonderful brainwashing you received through the media. As a person who loves traveling and learning about cultures enjoyed my trip there, same as I enjoyed trips to Poland, Czech Republic, United Kindom, and Germany. And as a person who travels, I never felt unsafe in the city. But you can go ahead and continue with your remarks because it honestly would not stop me going back and visiting Odesa and Kyiv on my next trip.
Они заплатили за въезд на природу.
Im kazakh. and.....We dont eat horse that for RACE,for your own as a RIDE ,or some MALE HORSE(only the healthiest, the best male horse). We can eat other horses.So,thats why u saw it on market.
hahaha.Its delicious,u guys need to try that out.
hope u come visit more often,there are more beautiful places than u think .
Congrat. for visiting another Turkic country
holy crap this place looks so beautiful! Its so different than what I had imagined! totally different!
Thanks you for the video, guys. I was born in Almaty. It was a pleasure to see my home city
Hate to stop watching here.. but it’s literally near sunrise ... hahahah! Tom will be another set of continuation of watches of your good travels and adventures! Kudos! 🤣✌️
Hahaha hey glad you are enjoying our videos! Get some rest!❤️😁
Really awesome to finally got a reply from you guys!!!! Touched!!! ♥️♥️♥️ really need to brag about this to my husband tom when he wakes up! Haha! Take Care! And we’ll definitely pray for your safe travels always! GoodMorning from PH! ♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰
That lake reminds me of chalk sound from turks and caicos
12:00 Lagman is a local Central Asian adaptation of the Chinese Lamian (拉麵; “pulled noodles”); much like the Japanese Ramen, it has its origins in China. The Korean Ramyeon shares the same etymological root but in Korea the term is used to refer to instant noodles instead of freshly pulled noodles. You guys should definitely learn the Cyrillic alphabet, it helps a lot to know how to read the Cyrillic alphabet not just when you travel around in Central Asia but also around Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Mongolia, Serbia, FYROM, Bulgaria etc.; so at least you’ll know what you’re ordering
I live in Almaty and enjoy how cheap things are
The lake drone shots were amazing!
5:33 Apman lol, reading as Arman (like armany but without "y")
What you ate (12:15) is called Lagman and this is the national dish of the Uigurs.
YES
Great video! Next time you should visit Astana.
Мне одному кажется будто в их влоге казахстан афигенныц по сравнению с реальностью
Надо было к морю Капчагай съездить, 30 минут на такси)
Еще западный Казахстан к каспийскому морю)
В восточный Казахстан, к озерам и горам, сосновый бор, реки)
Северный Казахстан к озерам, лесу, и горам)
В южный Казахстан, по Святым местам, фрукты и шашлык)))
I proud that I am from Kazakhstan
Thank you , will share the video with my friends :)
Было очень смешно когда наш таксист разговаривал с ними)))
You should have gone to other places, cuz they are more spectacular to see 😍
Charyn kanyon, Singing dunes, and I’m talking about Almaty region 😁
But for 24 hours you did a great job 👏🏼
When you don’t film your meals I get worried that you haven’t had breakfast/lunch/ dinner. That bowl of noodles seemed like the only food you had for the day. 😘
thanks. I kazakh - city Shymkent. very good video.
Great video. Opened my eyes to what's in Kazakhstan. I'm curious though, do you have an arrangement with Starbucks? just cause it doesn't have a good reputation for fine coffee where i come from.
The Noodle dish you had looks like it could have been Lagman. It's originally a uyghur dish from China.
The uyghurs are a Turkic minority belonging to a clan named Karluk, which again is the same clan as Uzbeks.
Greetings from Turkey 🤗🇹🇷
WOW SO BEAUTIFUL LAKE
Almaty looks like best city in Europe
Love u guys thanks for another awesome vid wow I’d love to travel like u guys
Bruh ur montage look straight fire
Spectacular drone shots :-)
Читаю коменты ,блин так приятно что говорят про Алматушечку
Триста (300) is three hundred in Russian! The Uber driver spoke Russian with you! :)) And the meat you ate on the metal skewer in this party is called shashlyk (шашлык - rus) and it's the armenian or georgian food but the whole Russia, Baltic countries and apparently Kazakhstan enjoy this meat in the parties!!
Не совсем будет правильным причислять жареные кучки мяса на вертеле только к странам кавказа. Да и название шашлык по происхождению тюркское. Хотя большинство тюркоязычных называют на персидский лад кебаб
I would love to guide u in the city guys,it would be so much fun
There's a seatbelt right behind Nate's shoulder 😆😆
Nice Eiffel 65 reference.
It's faster to get to Bishkek by car than by airplane :D
U r nice couple. Also you should have seen Kayindy Lake in Almaty))
Very interesting channel, you've earned a new subscriber ;)
Hi Kara Nate, do you guys plan your next trips ahead or just randomly pick next destination on spot?
Nice video! The policeman actually asked for 1300 kzt, not 3000 kzt. But since he saw that you are tourists and didn't understand his sayings, he just let you pass with 1000 kzt :)
I'm from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 я из Казахстана
Horse eating is taboo in US. Hmm that was something new. Didnt know that. Nice videos. Sad that you only fly and use uber everywhere.. Travelling by land is so much nicer and its allways experience use local public transport. Almaty is nice city, Bishkek is weird and very soviet but people are so nice there!
There is a mineral in that water that is making it that color. I would love to find out what it is.
YAAAAAAASSSSSSS
9:18 that looks like the place I have as a wallpaper in my office pc
Welcome to Kazakhstan🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
i live in the Netherlands, and i eat loads of horse. the only difference is that in the Netherlands they don't hang raw meat in public
come to Uzbekistan as well. pretty sure you will love it here
I am sure all Turkic states are amazing.
@@pavli935 no
Forget about Ottoman empire. It will never be the same again :))
Кто с Алматы, лайк)
Не думал что найду тут таких)
