    WHO ARE KARA AND NATE?!
    New here? We are full-time travel vloggers with a goal of visiting 100 countries before 2019. We make daily travel videos. In these videos you can expect to see the best foods and adventures of every country we visit. ;)
    Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
    We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel vloggers on UA-cam, such as: +CaseyNeistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown , and any other talented travel vloggers that UA-cam’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)

    In a somewhat perverse way it's comforting to see when things don't always work out well. The challenges sometimes make a good story after it's over.

    • @posteador

      It's part of any true adventure. You gotta show the good with the bad, else you create false expectations in people. It also helps to prepare better.

    Great video! Love the honesty. Its my opinion that people (who dont travel a lot) always seem to think that backpacking around foreign countries is easy... I have plenty of friends who say "why didnt you just..." but most of them only know what they THINK its like to travel and rarely leave their couch. I think you deserve a lot of credit for always being so friendly and kind with eachother. I backpack a lot (Egypt, Peru, all over Asia) and its never as easy as it looks! Love your smiles, keep it up!!

    I came across this UA-cam channel and having the most fun following your adventures. Great job putting it together!
    Regarding taxi incident: don't expect they always have/use meters in Chile, Mexico etc. Instead, it's a good idea to agree on price before your ride. Better yet, have him write the amount on piece of paper, to avoid misunderstanding. It you don't have pesos, negotiate price in dollars. Avoid exchanging money with driver, more that needed for this trip. Also good idea to research in advance how much that trip should cost.
    Good luck and safe travel!

    Don’t say out sorry so easily Nate. This advice is meant only for Nate and not for Kara to see it. Get into your next work Nate and give her the space to figure it out in her own space. As it’s not your fault or hers. You are in it together. She needs to learn to take ownership too. But from the looks, you guys are in a healthy relationship space. Keep it going.

  • @nickp.1434
    @nickp.1434 6 років тому +3

    Some taxi drivers in Chile are very honest, like my father once left his wallet with $500 dollars in the back of a taxi, the driver noticed it and returned it back to him, he was lucky that he got off at my grandfather's house in Santiago, my father tipped him $50 dollars. But half are not, can't remember if they give a receipt or not, but usually the put on the blinkers, radio or wipers or similar and it makes it jump. My family is from Chile but I haven't returned in five years. The funny part was that the really friendly ones were sometimes the worse, but it was only a few dollars for a somewhat short ride, I think this true for most of Latin America. I think the best thing is not to show you are a foreigner or just keep quiet as much as you can. In Peru the gas is different at every gas station, there no standard in many gas stations, but there was one, I think the main one, they refine their gas in Chile, and was to U.S,. standards, but if you get a horrible gas mileage is because of that, plus they don't drive very well there too. The south of Chile is very nice. People for the most part are very friendly. in Chile. In Santiago the metro is very good, it is one of the best in the world and very cheap to use.

  • @ra7bar
    @ra7bar 7 років тому

    While I was traveling I sometimes found myself in situations like yours - I mean not having any local cash. It is very time consuming and annoying do search for an ATM. Therefore now wherever I go to the interior or a place with a population below 100-200k I take a lot of local cash and some USDs (10s and 20s). In case I'm out of local cash it is much easier to exchenge USDs than looking for ATM - even many hotels/hostels will exchange dollars for local currency. Bear that in mind while going to places like Patagonia or interiors in Bolivia, Colombia, etc.

    Nate, I'm glad that you stood by your principles. I'd rather walk a ton and end up spending more money than getting ripped off by that initial taxi driver. In the end you'll have peace of mind and be stronger to handle other situation that may come.

    I thought it’d be cake for you guys on TV show The Amazing Race but this vlog made me realize that would be stressful for you guys, cause bad cab rides and money exchanges are what gets most people fighting or out of the game.

      They would win hands down. Getting my travel fix with Kara and Nate. Here it is August 2020, the pandemic has cancelled travel. I guess the AMAZING RACE won't be on for a while.
