#1 You are NOT lame #2 We don't care where you video #3 We care about YOU two #4 We LOVE when you show us how you do "Your Thing" We can watch you live the life we all would live if we could.
Regarding escalators, here in the UK they are using the Asian style system for the simple reason it that they want you to walk pass the shops and maybe get tempted to buy something (aka increasing footfall).Loving the vlog, I only subscribed today. Keep up the good work.
+Bear AndBear yeah i live in kl. the escalators are always a long walk from one end to another in every mall but not in offices and others.i never noticed that. its so interesting to see kl and malaysia from tourists pov. kl looks different really.
+izzad ibrahim I spent about 3 months in Malaysia and about a month in KL. Its a great city and its a place i will go back and visit again. The only bad thing about KL was I could not find good spicy chicken wings anywhere!
I learned somewhere that's one of the common design strategies of shopping malls to encourage patronage to the stores on a particular level. I don't think this is just in Asia ...
about the security guards carrying heavy guns, this is new. it started since isis begun bombing tourist attraction in other countries and malaysian police force did stop three different attempts by isis to plant bombs. they never manage to even build the bombs, but hey i guess better be safe than sorry.
Nate, as someone who works in the Hotel industry, I LOVE hearing about how you earn your points and the status upgrades you get by signing up for different CC's. I feel not enough people take advantage of what hotel chains, cc companies and airlines offer. Just a little creative maneuvering and look what you can do!
You guys are doing your whole journey through smart planning and being in different areas that coincide with important cultural events. Great song too. I love watching you guys. I am disabled and travel through you. Safe journey. Amy in Philadelphia...USA...
I'm super late to this party, I know. But wanted to chime in since I started watching your videos from the beginning instead of skipping all over the place on fb reels. This is one of the MOST USEFUL VIDEOS I've ever seen from a travel vlogger. Thanks!!!
+Nate Buchanan I will not say in what point of the video but you can read all the credit card numbers thru the tape because you have it pressed hard showing the outline of the numbers , so you might want to fix that , even thou someone would have to have the info on the back of the card also !
@@natebuchanan8334 really dying to know how you can manage all the credit cards and points all the times and how you managed all the information from all the countries
In Malaysia, unless its a fancy restaurant, you just go find a seat and plonk yourself there, unlike most western cultures where you wait to be seated.
Miles and points are a huge part of your journey and it is intersting how you are doing it. Don't stop! Totally a learning experience! If I wasn't interested I wouldn't be watching and following you! Lol! Love you both!
Nate, you're adorable!! I love hearing about how you cleverly finagle nice hotel stays with upgrades for Kara and you!!!! I just love watching your adventures
My dad had his company’s offices in the Petronas Towers when we lived in Malaysia for 8 years. One of 4 nations I’ve lived in! It’s great to see your two perspectives on places I’ve spent time in & you also inspire us to check out places!
regarding the escalator, it's the same reasoning why they put eggs, milk, cheese and meat (the most used food items) in the back of the grocery store so that you would impulsively buy candies on your way there
+guardian-of-sanity thanks! In that case, you'll probably also like the vlog where I explain how we paid for our flights using credit card points. ua-cam.com/video/Q6QH3e8IFgQ/v-deo.html&feature=gp-n-y&google_comment_id=z13iyxoo4rvccb1kj23sfps4goajcbjcw
I came from your most recent vlogs, wanting to see if you covered my country. It's encouraging to see how far both of you have evolved. You guys should get a local guide for Malaysia! Didn't even cover 1%of what we're famous for
I love the video Nate... You guys are well-prepared travelers, always thinking ahead and saving money every chance you get, ...travel smart and be safe!
Whenever I see videos like this I just wanna cry. We don't have any of those cards here. I just did a calculation of how much we'd have to spent to accumulate your miles as UK based couple. I fell off my chair! lol But amazing vlog guys! Keep travelling!
I just saw one of your more recent videos this weekend and I'm now binging from the beginning. Thanks for explaining how you get to stay at the hotel for free. I really enjoyed every single videos. I'm also glad that the loud and annoying music has changed by now.
I never thought the points you earned off credit cards would ever amount to any true valve. You just showed me I was extremely wrong. Thanks for the great points lecture
Nate, your security guard thing is completely true. My school constantly has national army guards around, which makes me feel safe, yet unsafe about why they're there. At the end of day, I just have to think that if there is a reason they're there, it's okay because we're safe. Love your videos, currently binge-watching!!!!!
The escalators are designed like that because it actually keeps people in the mall to keep shopping. They hope that you’ll hit a few more stores before you leave. It’s the same as supermarkets. Most people run into a supermarket for milk, so the dairy aisle is purposely positioned on the other side of the store so you will buy more. There’s a reason for everything!
Kara, I would have never guessed you started out weary of new foods and grossed out at first by the way you try and like things now!!! Gives me hope for my future travels lol ❤
Thank you for telling us how to do it. I have a card that I earn points for a cruise w/ a cruise line that owns three different brands. I can't wait to earn enough for that free cruise. I already got two comfy robes with points. Now I am going to look into cc that have signup bonuses too. Love your vlogs and your tips!
Hi Kara and Nate. Firstly I love your story and way of presenting and having watched some of the later blogs first, I am backtracking and now watching from the start. Early ones: TOO much about food :-) On this one I really dont understand why you didnt go to top of Petronas Towers. Only $20!!. You are getting free food in the hotel. leave out the street food and go up. Dare I say it's the reason to visit Kuala Lumpur. I always feel when travelling there are things that are a must. For instance in Venice - a gondola ride - I took one with my wife, it cost €125 about 15 years ago and probably nearly €200 in today's money for 20 minutes. Yes very expensive but the experience was wonderful. It was so romantic ( oarsman even sang opera) and worth it for the experience. I know you have done amazing things in later videos and I have noted some that Id hope to do when we can all travel again. Like the credit card tips and love the videoing and editing - superb.
Please keep informing us on your credit cards and sign up bonuses! I’m a college student working on my credit and after college I would love to travel!
Hey guys would just like to say thank you for your videos Its giving me a real good idea of what to expect when me and my girlfriend finally go traveling an giving lots of great ideas i cant stop watching and want to keep seeing what you both get up too The food is painful to watch Only because it all ways makes me hungry and i dont have nice things like that to eat haha Enjoy the rest of your holidays guys will continue watching :) all the way from Perth Aus
I hate the act of traveling. If I could wiggle my nose and appear where I want to go I would go without hesitation. But the crowds, lines, planes, trains and automobiles, and dragging heavy luggage everywhere - I just can't tolerate that stuff any more. So watching your vlog is perfect for me. I don't have to do the traveling, but I can enjoy what it would be like if I did travel. Sometimes I actually feel like I've had a meal after I watch one of your food trek videos. Thanks much for this gift!
Flats provide many advantages for commuters or adventure riders. Varying footwear options, easier to just get on and go. My road bikes have clipless, my gravel bike has clipless with a flat plate adapter, and my adventure and rain bikes only have flats. No chamois needed, waterproof trail shoes so no booties, and just go. Just love cycling and embrace what works for you Thx for testing. ❤
UK also has weird escalators like that in some stores...off the top of my head I know for definite that m&s where I live has them the same as that mall.
There's a whole eating street off Bukit Bintang, Jalan Alor.....food is super cheap...surroundings are pretty basic....but hey, that's travelling...and life too!....or you could just pay through the nose around the towers
+Kara and Nate Just found your vlog... love all ur videos. Keep up the good work guys. Also, thanks for teaching us how to save money to travel the world :)
Actually a great vlog on travel hacking! Boring in one sense because it's not as ~extreme~ as swimming w sharks but I would totally do this so it's super juicy info.
as you guys were walking and taking bout indian food.. you guys walked past an awesome indian restaurant called "nasi kandar pelita".. and the food is buffet style and.. u have to take rice and whatever dishes... and eat all you want and later pay
Man, it feels so funny and weird watching their old vlogs coming from their latest vlogs. It almost feels like I'm watching almost two different persons lol.
The escalators here in ASIA are designed that way to make sure you go around the mall and be tempted to buy something. heheheher. Anyways love the both of you! I hope you visit the Philippines.
Hi Guy's, I love all your videos, I feel like I'm on the journey with you. The comments from the guy below are right, they want to maximise the shopping experience as the shop owners probably pay a massive premium to be in that building. Take care travel safe.
#1 You are NOT lame
#2 We don't care where you video
#3 We care about YOU two
#4 We LOVE when you show us how you do "Your Thing"
We can watch you live the life we all would live if we could.

+Bear AndBear thanks for subscribing! That's the BEST reasoning I've heard for the elevator system. As an entrepreneur, that makes a ton of sense!
+Bear AndBear that's true

I'm glad when countries take a very proactive (rather than a reactive) stance towards terrorism and other security threats.

KL is a lovely city. The staggered escalators are designed that way to force you to walk past more shops and increase footfall. Great video.
I'm super late to this party, I know. But wanted to chime in since I started watching your videos from the beginning instead of skipping all over the place on fb reels. This is one of the MOST USEFUL VIDEOS I've ever seen from a travel vlogger. Thanks!!!
I like learning about using credit card rewards and points! I always appreciate learning more. Thanks : )
Definitely want to learn more about how you travel hacked your way to 1.8M miles and points!
+Kasey Gourley will do!
+Nate Buchanan I will not say in what point of the video but you can read all the credit card numbers thru the tape because you have it pressed hard showing the outline of the numbers , so you might want to fix that , even thou someone would have to have the info on the back of the card also !
@@natebuchanan8334 really dying to know how you can manage all the credit cards and points all the times and how you managed all the information from all the countries
@@natebuchanan8334yes please and update to 2024?!??
In Malaysia, unless its a fancy restaurant, you just go find a seat and plonk yourself there, unlike most western cultures where you wait to be seated.
This is amazing. I am watching all your vlogs in order from the beginning in 2022. My current favorite UA-cam Channel. God bless both of you!
Thank you for sharing the mileage/points tip. Super helpful and I look forward to seeing more of these.
Miles and points are a huge part of your journey and it is intersting how you are doing it. Don't stop! Totally a learning experience! If I wasn't interested I wouldn't be watching and following you! Lol! Love you both!
Nate, you're adorable!! I love hearing about how you cleverly finagle nice hotel stays with upgrades for Kara and you!!!! I just love watching your adventures
Being here in 2024 is absolutely crazy! Look how far you’ve come!
The info about accruing the points with CC and redemption of hotels/lounge access is great! Super super helpful, thank you so much!

I would love to hear and see more videos explaining all about this traveling method.. I enjoy your videos!
thank you.
Great info on the Hilton points! Thanks! Love your videos!

Keep up the tips about points ! Very helpful
Awesome tips.More on the miles and points ? Yes please!
PS not boring at all.
You guys are seriously like the cutest things ever. I have just started binge watching from the beginning and so glad that I am!

But amazing vlog guys! Keep travelling!
Kara. She cracks me up with some of the thing she says. LoL. So natural ...
Thank you for helping me understand miles and points, the Hilton cards and benefits, etc.
Nathan's thought about the security situation was very well stated!
Amazing!! Thank you!

It's great learning how you 2 make these trips happen,thanks!
Wow that is pretty cool (no pun intended) and amazing that you walked so much in 90 degrees weather...I cant even walk in like 70 degrees!
I just started watching your videos and love them! Thanks for the credit card and travel point tips! I can’t wait to travel again and use your tips!
I never thought the points you earned off credit cards would ever amount to any true valve. You just showed me I was extremely wrong. Thanks for the great points lecture
Fascinating about the points I had no idea!!!!
I can't get enough of your guys. Please make sure you have lots more vlogs by the time I am done thanks lol.
hahaha Thank you! :)
Just found you guys on here last week, love your channel!
Nate, your security guard thing is completely true. My school constantly has national army guards around, which makes me feel safe, yet unsafe about why they're there. At the end of day, I just have to think that if there is a reason they're there, it's okay because we're safe. Love your videos, currently binge-watching!!!!!
Love finding out how u do this with miles and points!!!!💚

Loved learning about the mileage and points hack, please do more.
Very smart planning. I knew about Hilton Amex. But I learned something new about buying gift cards to get more points.
Great video
Wow malaysia I been there before 4year age it’s beautiful n vice video
Love learning abt how to use those credit card points! Thanks! 👍
Appreciated hearing about miles and points. I want a post just on that. I need to know how you're staying in all those lounges!

I have that shot of the petrona towers with my husband in the shot too
That was in the days before selfie sticks a little over 25yrs ago 😄🇬🇧
that escalator system will make customer to window shopping. good for a mall strategy.
escalator is design for you to shop more....😂
Hey guys would just like to say thank you for your videos
Its giving me a real good idea of what to expect when me and my girlfriend finally go traveling an giving lots of great ideas
i cant stop watching and want to keep seeing what you both get up too
The food is painful to watch
Only because it all ways makes me hungry and i dont have nice things like that to eat haha
Enjoy the rest of your holidays guys will continue watching :)
all the way from Perth Aus
+Chester B that's awesome that you'll be traveling soon! Glad we could give you some ideas! Let us know if you have any questions when planning!
Omg I live here (temporarily) its so intriguing to see it from a tourist perspective

If u ever come to Malaysia again, please come to Sarawak on the island of Borneo. It is a totally different experience with different cultures!
The first vlog of yours that I watched was you eating scorpions in Laos (?) so seeing you scrunch your nose up at octopus is hilarious.
Naan looked great!
NOT SUPER BORING! That was brilliant
i am kara fans because of their carefree and relaxed attitude, besides their curiosity about new things.

I LOVED Kara's escalator rant😂that was awesome!
omg, i got cold thanks to that mall :D KL wasn't so impressive according to me, but the Batu Caves were amazing!
There's a whole eating street off Bukit Bintang, Jalan Alor.....food is super cheap...surroundings are pretty basic....but hey, that's travelling...and life too!....or you could just pay through the nose around the towers
awesome! thnx:)
Love miles and points!
nowadays there are military and police personnel guarding shopping malls all around KL... perhaps because of the ISIS threats...
Thank you!!
+Kara and Nate Just found your vlog... love all ur videos. Keep up the good work guys. Also, thanks for teaching us how to save money to travel the world :)
Will be going to K.L this coming October . Cant wait to try the Indian food on the banana leaf.
so cute you two
Actually a great vlog on travel hacking! Boring in one sense because it's not as ~extreme~ as swimming w sharks but I would totally do this so it's super juicy info.
Love your vlogs guys! You should have eaten at the restaurant right at 8:17! Nasi Kandar Pelita is famous!
Petronas in coutry malaysia beautifull idlike iname hien doan vietnamese
nice video Osam
during this flog the tune got stuk in my head and could not figur what it was thanks for the lirics at the end it was driving me nuts
8:22 you were just passing by one of the best street food KL can offer .. NASI KANDAR ☝🏼👌🏻
My husband and I where at the petronas towers like four days before this video was uploaded.
Our escalators in Scotland are just like the ones you were on. It makes more sense when you look at it carefully
A truly beautiful Malay country
Love your accents!
as you guys were walking and taking bout indian food.. you guys walked past an awesome indian restaurant called "nasi kandar pelita".. and the food is buffet style and.. u have to take rice and whatever dishes... and eat all you want and later pay
Man, it feels so funny and weird watching their old vlogs coming from their latest vlogs. It almost feels like I'm watching almost two different persons lol.
In what way? Financially, yes.
🤑💰💰💲💵💸💹👍 thanks for the tips
A lot of my wonderment of what you two do, is HOW you do this. Keep on telling us how to earn these points.
hope you had fun in KL. i think the indian food court you were looking for is Pelita Nasi Kandar. You passed by it at 08:15 in the video.
So cool to see how you have grown. By now you would make different decisions I think (such as being okay with the Indian place)
The escalators in malls are like that so they get you to walk around more :)
The escalators here in ASIA are designed that way to make sure you go around the mall and be tempted to buy something. heheheher. Anyways love the both of you! I hope you visit the Philippines.
