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!

Hey y’all! Before you watch, we wanted to fill you in on what this video is 😊
We made 6 different episodes of our bike ride across America, and this 4 hour long video is ALL of them smushed together into one big movie 🍿
Besides the new intro, this video is the same as the past 6 uploads on our channel (just removed the ads and put all the bloopers at the end 😊).
We felt like this adventure was so grand that we wanted the whole journey in one place to live on the internet forever!
If you haven’t binged the series yet, hopefully this makes it a little easier to do that ;)
If you’ve followed along the past 6 weeks, THANK YOU ❤ Maybe turn this one on your TV in the background and let it play to help the algorithm?? Haha just kidding (kinda).
Thank you all for being a part of this insane journey and for all the love!
Onto the next adventure 🫶🏼
Hi love you all🫶
I am literally putting this in the background right now to help the algorithm! No joke, that was going to be my comment before reading this 😊😊😊
What an amazing accomplishment would you consider going across Canada was too funny, loving moments, keep shinning through!
Wow I am rewatching the whole series! Tysm for hours of entertainment and keep it up!
Nice job!
So is taking a drink every time the drawer comes out while Kara is driving a thing yet? 😂
I can get behind this game! 4 hours…. Sheesh
And take a drink every time someone says Shammy
Or everytime there’s a flat tire 😅
@@MeanderThisWayoooof that’s recipe for a rough morning tomorrow 🤣.
And everything she taps the refrigerator
You guys literally just made a 4.5 hours long movie.... damn... so proud!
I watched the entire series as it came out and now I’m watching it all again all at once hahaha
I watched each episode as it came out and have just watched the 4.5hr episode ! Loved it !
AND FUNNUER, I watched the series and the movie.
Did they include clips that never made it in the series/never before scenes ?? Or is it the same
Trust me they didn’t make it. Their editing and photography team did.
Did I watch this series as it came out? Yes. Am I watching it again for the next four hours without stops? YES!!!!!
Came here to say this 🫢🫢🫶🏼🫶🏼
Same!
I watched this video with my grandma, who usually falls asleep when anything is on the TV but she was awake the entire time and super engaged with the video! She loved how energetic Kara is and Nate’s Hawaiian shirt and safety man outfits! My grandma is now a Kara and Nate supporter!! 🫶
Awww so cute! Me and my dad always watch them together!!!
Anyone else watch all 6 episodes as they came out but loved them sooo much they watched this video too?!?
Are there any extra clips here?
Harriet and I just finished watching you guys for 4 hours. Not only do you guys deserve an award for it. We deserve a thumbs up for watching it.
What an accomplishment! Who knew that watching other people ride a bike could be so entertaining! Thanks for sharing this journey with all of us! ❤❤
-western NY Troy & Aimee
As someone who's wheelchair-bound, I live through you guys. Much love from Canada
Respect mate
Just got my wisdom teeth pulled out, this is the best thing to watch in recovery!! Thanks for your hard work guys!! ❤
Hey Kara and Nate i have been recovering for 8 months. Every Saturday i would wake up and know a new episode of the series would come and would just bring a little light to make it through a full day! Thank you so much for the content.❤
Oh my goodness! I watched all 6 episodes like 60x already so having it all in one video/movie is heaven sent! I love it!
The best vid on youtube so far.....passion, friends, bonding, adventure, the beautiful outdoors of the USA, and freedom. TOP 1
I want to see you guys do the entire Appalachian Trail and document it with a daily blog!
I have hiked a big section of the Appalachian trail that would be cool.
Rick and Bec already did that - well without the blog/vlog part!
It’s actually ridiculous how inspirational you all are, like how could I watch this video and not clean my room at the same time it’s impossible, you give me energy through the screen
Wow! Okay, I know to never underestimate you two again 😂 A 4 hour film of Biking Across America and I am here for it! I'll probably be returning every so often when I miss your biggest and most exciting trip yet. Beings as my life has been a bit busy, I am part-way through the 6th episode, I might just watch from episode 1 again on this 4 hour special. Love you all 🤍
They go big or go home to the van
You are actually the reason why I bought a bike 2days ago.
Even though I’ve watched all 6 episodes, I think I’m going to like watching it all smushed together WITH NO ADS!!! Woot, I’m totally watching it.
I was hoping we'd get a full combined video of the adventure🥳 Time to binge, thank you K&N!
I've already watched all the episodes, but watching everything again doesn't hurt 😂
I watched each episode as they came out, but while watching this full version in my bed I have fallen asleep multiple times 😂, this is just somehow soothing 😆
This journey was SO EPIC. You guys really surpassed yourselves with this one, and you should be very proud of all your achievements! What a life. Always wish you the best. Thank you for sharing and making us strangers feel like your friends.
So I totally already watched every episode of the biking across America series... BUT when I saw you guys practically made a movie, I couldn't wait to watch all 4+ hours of everything over again!! SO proud of y'all for 1. Making a movie AND biking across America!! 🎉🎉 Love tagging along for all of your adventures no matter what they are!! Much love to ALL of you! ❤❤
This was one of my favorites (well way up there) mainly because you'd done no training, there was so much funny content, conversations, you never once** gave up, kids for being involved, your friends were totally involved plus 1000000% invested & to top it off YOU MADE it! ( Although, there was never any doubt about that ❤) well done to ALL 🎉❤😊
those kids are so impressive. what an amazing way to grow up
This is absolutely incredible. Such a good idea to put it all in one video! Y'all are incredible. Can't wait to see what comes next.
This is absolutely perfect to put on while getting things done around the house. If y'all can bike across America I guess I can clean my room 🤣
I would feel blessed to have y’all as friends. You bring so much positive energy to so many lives. ❤ Frankie and Evie are lucky lil ladies to experience such a cool trip with such rad adults! Thank you guys for bringing us along on your journeys!🎉 can’t wait to see what’s next
I'm not sure if I'll have the time to watch this video in it's entirety because I watched all the others separately but giving it a like and a comment to boost in the algorithm because yall are my favorite channel to watch ❤
Best thing ever! Those girls are so lucky to grow up with such dope parents too. LOVE IT!!!
Yay Top 95 likes and top 26 comments. Love this channel. Best to you and your family. Thanks for making this video. Happy holidays!!!!!
At this point watching the bike trip has been Therapy for me. It really has been fun to watch. I'm so behind so watching it like this has made playing catch up a lot easier. Thank you so much for sharing this with us
This was such an amazing experience to watch. Might be one of my favorite trips you’ve done!
This is incredible!! Thank you guys for sharing this journey with us, and compiling it into a FILM for us!
LOVE your adventure videos so much, thanks for inspiring people around the world to go out of their comfort zone and truly experience LIFE as it should be.
This was by far one of my favorite series from you guys. From the incredible sceneries, to the funny dad suits, to the amazing energy and motivation everyone had…what an amazing series! We are all so proud of you and I’m gonna miss these videos! ❤❤ looking forward to the adventures you guys have next!!

Great video! Absolutely love that Nate’s parents came along for the ride! Nate’s dad cracks me up 😂 I am so proud of everyone and all the hard work and dedication y’all put into not only this trip but video!! 10/10 content!!❤
I am really glad you put this all into one video so I could binge.♥
I feel like everytime I get sappy over your videos because of how proud I am… words can never convey the extreme emotions of how incredibly proud and in awe I am in so i just never comment. But for the sake of this 4 and almost a half hour video. I AM SO INCREDIBLY PROUD OF YOU TWO EACH AND EVERY CHALLENGE YOU GUYS TAKE ON🥹💕
Such an amazing journey
Nothing like going to sleep listening to 4 hours of Nate and Kara!!! ❤❤
Love having the completed series post all together.
I’ve always binged the series twice 😂😂 and I’m so excited to watch it all as one video, so easy being all in one place!
Excellent job putting this series together like this! Also, congratulations on accomplishing this incredible journey! ❤
Finished watching with my sons. We loved it 🥰
I love all the individual videos, but it's fun to watch it all in one video. This is really exciting. LOL, this is my version of The Truman Show of Kara and Nate. Haha, I can't get enough of the drama, the fun, the ups and downs. This is what real life is like on a 4 and half-hour's journey.
I started watching when y’all got the van & I am to happy to say that it never disappoints.❤️
Epic documentary. Amazing crew. Pleasure to see america via your video. Thanks for sharing
Omg I can’t believe I have been watching since 2020 that’s 4 years I hope you guys had a great time😊❤
This is the perfect way to watch this amazing journey!
I feel like I just became part of this journey after watching this
Another great video !🎉 watching with my boyfriend and our son right now. Sundays is his only day off and we're enjoying the morning drinking coffee and watching the new video!❤
I almost rewatched them all last weekend, and I wished there was a video with all of them together! Totally rewatching today! :)
Love this! Thank you for keeping me company this morning. 😊
Everyone needs friends like these, that would follow them on adventures.
It's 3 am. I kept telling myself to just go to bed! I couldn't, even though I watched ALL of the vlogs. Even though it was like "National Lampoons" I loved each and every minute! I really liked the way you "smashed" them all in one with no advertisements❣️ What really amazes me is that through it all you all could pull together POSITIVENESS ❣️
Evie and Frankie are awesome kids. They are living a best childhood ever
You guys are amazing and this series was so amazing to watch each week
From the UK xx
This is my second time watching this video all the way through and trust me, I love it! Thank you for all you do. Every video you make is just the next best thing I’ve seen on UA-cam! Kara and Nate, your energy, love for each other, and genuine personalities is addicting to see. Keep it up yall! I love you!
This was so much fun to watch. We definitely need longer series like this. Congratulations on finishing the Bike Trail ❤
Got my popcorn ready!! 😊
I’m literally watching 1 hour per day during my lunch break ❤
Did I just finish watching the series last week? Yes. Am I going to watch it again in one go? Also yes. 🤩
Watched each video before realising you'd put them together. I've watched every video you've ever done and your amazing with awesome family and friends.
I think this is an awesome idea. Makes it easier to share with people who'd love this adventure!
Rick going down the slide 'waiting for Kara and Nate'. This was great to watch :) Glad you all made it safely.
I have watched you guys for almost 3 years. Now my sister and I are watching them and have re started and went all the way back to the beginning. You guys are truly inspirational and so much fun to watch!! This is the second time I’ll be watching this bike series and now I’ve watched all of your videos almost twice and still just as good👍😊😊
Very very cool ❤ looking forward to watching this in full.
This was my first video on this channel and I literally watched all 4 hours of this. Was quite entertaining, thank you for making this!
This was so entertaining and inspirational! I'm not interested AT ALL in biking or even challenges like that, but I've found myself watching you all feeling lighthearted and cheering y'all up! Big up to the girls (because I'm one 😂 ) you nailed everything with a smile! I love this format, it was flawless and totally okay to watch start to finish (no work tomorrow ! yay!). Thank you! You really put out quality content and you're still going STRONG !
Y’all make me so happy. I can’t wait to see what you do next year!
Going to binge watch this again, this was an epic series
Ahhhh I'm so glad you're here right now!!
This has been one of the best series you guys have done, I watched all the individual ones now I’m watching this long one and I absolutely love this series you guys are the best and I love it when you do things with all the group❤
I love how you guys talked about the Navajo Code Talkers as y'all passing through Arizona. 😊❤
I was watching with my grandparents and they were excited about that part.
A four hour video? This is some cinematic beauty 😆
Love when this crew reunites! Rick and Bec are my spirit animals!
Toni from Austin Texas I love you guys yall have helped me through depression! Now my motto is to get out and do something ❤ love you all!
What a wonderful idea to make one great video! I loved it! Such an amazing adventure to watch 🙂! You guys are amazing 😃!
I loved watching these every week, the challenge was so inspirational. It felt like checking in and cheering on people you know. You guys rock !! Looking forward to the next one.
We are such dedicated fans that we watch EVERY video including this one. We love all your adventures and you have the best friends and family. What a joy it is to listen to your infectious laughter and positive vibes. Love you 😘
Wow guys! This was amazing! So proud of you! Love you guys so much!
Kara and Nate always make my day honestly they are the best UA-cam travel couple
Greatest adventure thus far🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I commented in the 6th part of the biking trip asking to make single video of the 6 parts and my wish came true..now i have to find time to binge watch this🥳🥳🥳
I would watch the RAGBRAI episodes all in one video too!
Y'all really did accomplish something big. Y'all have entertained us with your success. People who ride bikes, especially couples, are the kind that ends up riding around the world.
Love watching you guys every Sunday 💞
The trip was awesome. Fantastic set of videos.
So great seeing all of the others with you.
It's wonderful. And I'm enjoying it. 4hours 🙌🏻🤸♂️🚵♀️
I love your videos, all of you are such an inspiration ❤
So pumped for you guys!! I know you guys had to had the best vacation after this!
Just finished, and this might be one of my favorite series y’all have done! Thank you for the hard work you guys do! Cant wait to see what next year holds!
A full version of the entire bike ride! How exciting!!!!!
Also will a bike trip be an annual thing? The people must know!
