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. 😊🎥🌎
"We do what we love for the people we love' it's kind of a dream I guess" - doesn't get much better than that.
That couldn’t be more true. Started my day right after hearing him say that.❤️
Yes
Thank you for liking our video, Kara!!!
so true❤️
These people are so hardworking, but they look like they’re having so much fun at the same time. And those dogs are so adorable 😭
We work hard, but play harder. Can't play without hard work either. So we work hard with a smile knowing we can have fun after work with family and extended family. Come visit us sometime. People in Louisiana love to meet visitors and to show you a good time.....just stay away from New Orleans.....
@@charlieredleg1582 ^^^^ perfectly stated. We have the best people here!!!
If you love what you do it's no longer a job and there can't be anything better than it.
Thank you for liking our video, Kara!!!!!!!
Matthew is 100% Louisiana. Love that accent
I don't know why, but this is one of my favourite episodes this season! What lovely people in Louisiana. They had me grinning from ear to ear.
Matthew’s accent is my fav thing about this video
Yessssss!!!!
Aannndd his laugh! Hahaha sooo adorable..
I like how he barely opens his mouth when he talks
Right!!!! I could listen to him all day ❤️
I luv a Louisiana accent 😍😘
Kara and Nate uploading in a Wednesday? I think this day is going to be amazing❤️
So true!
I agree
On a Wednesday
Its always a great day when they upload ❤
Hardworking Americans helping to feed the country, having fun and building a successful business. Something you rarely hear about these days from the media. Glad to see this well made, entertaining and informative video.
We get SUCH a bad rap, I'm so glad to see my Louisiana displayed for all the GREATNESS that she is! Thank you Kara and Nate for shining a light on our unique offering to the world. 💜💛💜
Nah, not you guys. Florida does, and sometimes Alabama.
Mais yeah cher
I’m in New Orleans. Got to suck the heads and pinch them tails y’all
I agree so much GO TIGERS LSU
We?
"What about the smell? Kinda smells like money." I grew up in Houston and my family all lived in Texas City. The smell of the refineries could be overwhelming at times, but when you asked my grandfather what he thought of it he said, "Smells like biscuits and gravy." Those refineries were how he fed his family and he was proud to work there.
I loved it!
Same in Colorado! It can smell like cows and cow poop a lot sometimes. Always told growing up that it’s the smell of money haha
Heard hog farmers say the same thing!
Omg!! I am from Texas City, and now I am in Houston! How crazy! My dad worked at the refineries.. it did smell like money. lol.
@@longhornlove1 My mom’s family lived on Pecan in Texas City. My father’s family last lived on Carriage Lane in LaMarque.
Can we take a second to appreciate Matthew😍 and his accent🤤
that the the famous louiana accent
louisiana
What accent? (from southeast Texas)
@@rubynelson1164 It’s that Cajun accent.
he sounds like my cousin .. except my cousin is Inuit Eskimo and has the same exact accent!! lol
As a Louisiana native, I can't tell you how much this video made me smile. I'm so glad you finally were able to try what we've been telling everyone about!
I THOUGHT UA-cam HAD JUST RECOMMENDED AN OLD Kara and Nate VIDEO THAT I'D MISSED .. you won't even believe how happy I was when I realized that this was uploaded today and we get a new vid sooner than I was expecting WOOP
Ok off topic completely to today's video...can I just tell you that throughout the pandemic, anytime I felt hopeless or sad or just needed to feel better, I would pull up one of your videos. Kara your laugh is infectious, yours and Nate's positive outlook, even if things aren't going right (cuz that's reality and balance), is uplifting and encouraging. Nate's sheer determination to push boundaries and limits it's inspiring and energizing. I love your familiar voices, doing fun and bold new things, no matter how big or small, is just a shot in the arm when I need it. So, THANK YOU for doing what you do....I don't know if you can possibly imagine the positive and life line type affect you have on others, but you do and it's so very much appreciated. I know it can be hard at times, but I hope it's equally rewarding as well.
Agree. I have shown some of the vlog to many people - from family and friends, and even people at work and my patients. They get hooked. But more importantly, it makes them smile 😊
100% agree! K&N for the win😁🥰
Couldn't have said it better! I feel so uplifted when I watch them and what they do- the joy they share with us- this is truly the work of angels. Thank you Kara and Nate!!
Yeah even when they complain, it's only because something annoying or bad happened that anyone would complain about. I don't see why people say "don't complain, this is the life you want! You signed up for this!" Yeah they did choose this life, and they're very fortunate, but being privileged enough to travel full time doesn't make annoyances or dangers any less of an issue. Kara and Nate do a good job of showing the reality of full time travel (including the complain-y bits) without being divas. Most of the time. They can be divas about plane travel lol
@@spooniesarah exactly! Do what you love…just like the crawfish guys said
UA-cam: Kara and Nate released a new video
Me: This is the best day ever 🤩
🥳👏🏻
@@KaraandNate You came to my home state!! (yes we can eat a lot of seafood)
I literally did double take. Unexpected surprise ❤️
@@KaraandNate I would definitely recommend if you ever come back to Colorado that you try spending way more time in Lake City. Best Ice Cream Ever! And There’s a fourteener there called Uncompaughre and I would definitely recommend the hike and the town is extremely beautiful
EXACTLY BRO!!!!]
Louisiana born and raised! There is no other place in the world that I could love more. I hope you enjoy is at much as I do ever day! Our culture is rich in hospitality, and good food!
I love how Kara and Nate are able to introduce us to such obscure experiences like this yet manage to keep it fun, entertaining and educational at the same time! Its really interesting seeing the movement from catch to plate and to see all the people along the way! Love these kinds of vlogs!
I've lived in South Louisiana my whole life. This is the best video yet. The way Kara said "boudin" had me rollin'. lol
Same!! Haha
Lol, yep! It's hilarious how many ways non South people pronounce it 🤣. Love these two
@@pamelabranch5865 As a Brit, we're familiar with the word from our proximity to France, so WE know how to pronounce it!
Same.
ikr like people that arent from the south dont know how to say anything i grew up in south louisiana too
I lived in Louisiana for 1 year when I was 20-21 years old. I’ll be 36 in August. It was by far one of the best years of my life! The food, the people, New Orleans, the scenery, the history, everything about it! I love Louisiana! I haven’t been back since but your video is making me think I need to go back for a visit!
We get SUCH a bad rap in the media.....but you just have to experience it to KNOW. I love my Louisiana. 💜💛
You're always home in New Orleans
@@melanielyons2659 I KNOOWWW they make us sound so bad but at the end of the day you and your neighbors or laughing over a nice bowl of gumbo
i was there back on 1998 t0 2004.them move noth so i still have family there at alexandria,newlano,basicly everywhere and let me tell you the best way to eat them is acompanion with a cold miller high life beer,to be honest to all of yous,theyre the best
As a native south eastern Texan, this was SO interesting to watch! Grew up eating crawfish, and have eaten them my whole life but I didn't realize this is where they came from and this is how they do it?? Amazing.
We have similar creature here in Australia. We call them 'yabbies'.
"OoOoOoH I don't like the brain"
- Wise words from Kara, 2021
LOL I can’t hide it 🧠🙈
Nothing better then when you can’t sleep seeing a Kara and Nate video just posted. 🇦🇺 midnight here is Australia
Matthew's accent brings back memories, man i miss louisiana.
This video does a great job of showcasing a group of humble, down-home, hard-working people who just love where they live, love what they do, and love each other and the life that they have built together. I'd take this life over a penthouse in New York City any day.
love it when peoples jobs are their dreams and passion for life :) it inspires :)
All the Cajun accents I love it! I’m so jealous I love Louisana!
really its strange to see comments about Louisiana its typically not too loved I'm from Louisiana and get so happy when people are interested in Louisiana!
I'm so glad you guys got to experience South Louisiana during crawfish season! Thankyou for getting the word out about our wonderful little mud bugs. Love your videos and wish I could live the life yall do everyday! Love yall!
I’m so glad you enjoyed our state! Hope y’all will come back to visit in the future and y’all had some of the best people showing our beautiful traditions 💜💛
As a Louisianian I love how they like the food we have like crawfish
I love hard working Americans! Thank you! Thank you!
They’re playing Zydeco in the background 😭💗. True southerners 👏🏾👏🏾
True Louisianians (no other southern state/city does this)
"If it's brown, put it down." Best advice ever!! 😆🤣
agree!
I live in Louisiana and am so happy they visited I have been watching them for a long time and I don't think that Louisiana is usually top of the list when it comes to places in America to visit so I feel honored in a weird way when people visit
Watching other people in Louisiana cook crawfish is always interesting to me bc everyone makes them differently and swears by their method lol
So true. That’s the beauty w/ crawfish. They’re all probably still good 😌.
My family adds your normal veggies, but also oranges and celery.
Wonderful to hear Madison's story...he seems like one of the best of us 💖✨
agreed
Born and raised in Louisiana and love my home state. Can’t wait for crawfish season. Now I personally like my crawfish very spicy and super juicy. There is a place in Minden, Louisiana that I think makes the best crawfish
Also thank you guys for going above and beyond to showcase nothing but the good in every place you visit!! I was so happy to see the Beau in your Mississippi video and the insight on the crawfish industry and the truly unique culture that is South Louisiana. I was a lifeguard at the Beau in College!! I’ve been watching you guys for years!! Y’all truly are the best thing on UA-cam to me!!
I love Karas enthusiasm so much! She is makes me so happy :)
You two are definitely living the DREAM! It's super nice that you let us tag along, and live it vicariously with you. And yeah you would be amazed at how much more fun a dog can add to your adventures. They can show you a whole new perspective on the world.
These guys need a go fund me! This is the exact kind of business that needs love! Small business for the win!
Hope y’all enjoyed our awesome state. Lots of love from Louisiana.
Thank you for coming to Louisiana. I really enjoyed this video. I love Matthew's Cajun accent. I am one of the few who were born and raised here that don't eat crawfish. Sorry Matthew, we do exist! We have had 4 disasters in 9 months in SW Louisiana the most recent being 2 days ago. A Cajun will survive!
2 uploads in a week? you're spoiling us :D :D
They used to do a lot more per week.
Looks like Australian's would really feel at home in Louisiana ♥️🔥🌶 looks yummy and the people are so friendly and chill xxx
I was just thinking that!
They do I've meet a few here
Matthew's Louisiana accent is so thick he needs subtitles lol
You know it’s a good day when Kara and Nate release on a Wednesday
Love this! "If it's brown, put it down" 🤣🤣
i love the people of Louisiana they are as friendly as my home area, northeast pa. nowhere else have i found that kind of amazing sense of we are all just family. wonderful video.
These folk just seem like such hard working, wonderful, humble, beautiful people. Need more of them in this world.
These guys are what I love about the south. Hope everyone is safe from the recent flooding in Louisiana.
Who else has been rewatching episodes patiently awaiting Kara and Nate’s next video? This makes me so happy (in my best Kara voice).
Same...
same
I re watched their train series a few days ago
Been going through their vids from the beginning. I'm up to Patagonia currently
I’m dying at the 1 person serving size, I eat about 3 of those on my own 😂
PRINCESSA. ME TOO! I LOVE SEAFOOD PERIOD IT IS ACTUALLY M6 DIET! GROW UP IN CHESAPEAKE BAY AREA / MARYLAND & NOTHING BUT SEAFOOD BOATS WITH ALL KINDS OF GOODNESS FROM THE SEA!. & CRAWDADDY ARE THE BEST TASTING WHEN FRESH, SEASON RIGHT! THE POOR COUSINS OF THE LOBSTER! SO THEY SAY. CAN NOT PROVE THAT BY ME THE ARE SOOOOI GOOD! 😋! GRACE TO ALL.gh
i have lived in Louisiana for my whole life and it’s the best! also if you are form Louisiana and do not like crawfish, I don’t think you are from Louisiana. love y’all! 💜💛💜💛
They guys are amazing! We have ordered from them for years and their products and customer service are unmatched! Alabama girl living in Clarksville, TN who loves crawfish. Thanks for highlighting these guys
Bonus episode?!! What did we all do to be so lucky?!!
For anyone who has not had crawfish, they are anatomically the same as a lobster in terms of eating them. That means the meat is mainly in the tail with some in the claws. No meat in the body of the crawfish. Also, they are >craw < fish and not crayfish or mud bugs. Hint: If the cooked crawfish's tail is not curled that means it was dead when it went into the boiling water. I don't eat those.
Love these people just living in the moment, working hard, and supporting the people around them. Really inspiring 😁
I love this video!!! Makes my Louisiana heart happy. I appreciate how y’all go out of the way to do something that’s unexpected and different in each state!
Wow, that is mad, I never knew this was how they were caught. Junior has some mad skills 7 seconds is incredible!
I’ve lived in Louisiana my whole life, and the way Kara said Boudain.... it killed me
Same! Lmao
ikkk
YESS a lot of northerners also say crayfish
such an informative and fun video. I learned a lot, and I now have a lot of respect for crawfish farmers. Not that I didn't have any respect for them in the past, but now I realize how vital they are to our society.
So happy, Wednesday made 😁🤗
Thank you Kara and Nate for the midweek upload ❤️
What a welcome surprise! Watching y’all on a Wednesday morning gets me a spicy southern kick to get through the rest of the week! Thanks Kara and Nate!
woah it must feel good to get a like from them XD
Fun Fact...Boudin is a French delicacy, and if you translate it PERFECTLY to English....it's blood pudding, or blood sausage! ;) They probably kept the French since people have no idea what it means, and didn't want people to NOT order it....it's absolutely delicious.
A bite of stew in sausage form is the most compelling description of food I’ve ever heard
I live in Louisiana and its so funny how you thought that plate of crawfish was big its small to me 😂 also I feel like people never get to see the work that goes into farming them so this is great!
Ps. My pet crawfish Curtis says hi!
This video was a legit production! From the behind the scenes at the farm all the way to the boil. Great work!
I’m a Louisiana crawfish eating girl! Great job showing these wonderful people and how hard they work! Makes me hungry for some crawfish!
In all the Years I've been watching this Channel - this has to be my Favourite episode ever - Great People make Great Entertainment.
Yayyyyy I’m early . But I’m so happy for this going right now . I got up at 7 am for this
☕️👏🏻🤗
Wow you were seriously waiting 👏
This has to be one of my favorite videos from y’all both because I am from New Orleans, LA! So glad y’all got to experience this! I really hope y’all come visit New Orleans the next time around. There’s just so much more to see in this culture! ❤️⚜️❤️⚜️
it’s so funny teaching people how to do crawfish especially when they aren’t from Louisiana lol
That’s my Louisiana! The best food, people, culture, and always always the best time! It’s a way of life here and I’m so happy y’all were introduced to a delicious boil!
So happy they posted twice this week
Thank you for posting you 😍😍 love from Africa
Kara, your editing skills are seriously professional grade now. You two are my favorite youtubers.. you're just genuinly happy, enjoying life and I think that's a wonderful thing to not only experience, but to share with others such as myself.. I feel like I'm going to places with you as you guys travel and take us along! Kinda cool knowing that people that are from only a few hours away from me (im in Hixson/Chatt) are literally living the DREAM. So happy for you both and wish you many more happy years!
Someone else does their videos nowadays
Just so much appreciation for you guys. Your normal travel got sorted because of Covid so u guys branched into travelling usa and exploring different careers/lifestyles. Honestly thank you for keeping me entertained during this yogurt time for me !
You guys sure are dedicated to you’re work. Early mornings and late nights are what gets me. Keep doing what you’re doing!!! You’re both amazing
I miss „We‘re Kara and Nate and for the past 4 years.... Now, covid has brought us back to the U.S, where we bought a converted sprinter van...“ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This video was edited differently today compared to the previous ones!! I liked it a lot!! You guys edit so well
I'm pretty sure they mentioned once recently they now have another person (video editor) to make their videos
This was one of my favorite US videos you’ve done so far!! I loved seeing this side of Louisiana! Such kind people
I love seeing you guys so close to me! Every time I see Nate in the Buckee onesie I cheer! Texas native but right on that Texas Louisiana line. Cajun blood 🧡
Never knew "that's how they do it" so was very interesting...and the boat driver "if I were only younger" I'm 65, what a babe!!
"Junior" was definitely handsome ;-) Hey, maybe Sr. is single??? lolololol
I love your content so much. Keep always showing your videos. You both have been a lifesaver during the lockdown. And you have enabled us to travel virtually with your vlogs. All the best and be safe
THANKS FOR VISITING!! Glad yall enjoyed 😍😍😍😍 #SouthLa
This video was amazing! Love when you do personal stories the best and the videography was perfect!
wow so cool! i’m a local from welsh! wish i could have seen y’all! hope y’all enjoyed them! love y’all!💕
Crawfish I think is a sustainable farmed food source. They rapidly reproduce and are adaptable to many environments. I was panning for gold in a north Georgia mountain stream and saw a crawfish. They could solve a lot of world hunger issues.
I'm so happy yall like it!!
"Smells like money." That is a man with his head on straight!
He’s definitely NOT a democrat….
One of your best episodes! Thanks for showing the real south
LOVED how you guys put the spotlight back on the locals!!! 🤩 pure magic! Pure culture!
GREAT WORK!!!!!!
The ppl in the south are the best ppl i've ever met. They're so laid back and living up in the north it's like a whole new world. East coast not so much but the mid south is just so amazing.
Watching from Sydney, Australia. Love you guys! 😻
Me:
When Kara and Nate posts a video on Sunday: 😃
When Kara and Nate posts another video in the same week: 😂😭😂 [tears of joy]
P.S.
Thanks for the heads-up on the Sunday Summary
I loved everything about this video. Please make more of these videos from varied states of the USA with different types of people you interact with ! Such cool bunch of folks doing something great !
How humble he is! It’s amazing to have that acreage and like he said being outside all day with nature is the best part c:
Mid week uploads? *Have we been blessed?!* 😍😍💓
100% agree with you :)
@@thebuddymoon are you two travel bloggers too?
This is so cool! Crawfish is such a big, traditional deal in Sweden usually reserved for fishing and eating in August. Seeing this really puts that in perspective!
I’m so glad y’all had your first crawfish somewhere like that. The experience makes it even better
We've been thinking of moving to the South for a few months and your videos are definitely getting me excited about it! Looks like a lot of good food and good people!
Come on down South... y'all will love it. .❤ Though moving during the summer might be a bit hot! 🤣
@@kaceycole1174 Not gonna lie, that humidity has me a little worried LOL We get 110 degree weather in the summer, but rarely get above 45% humidity here. My husband keeps trying to find a sweet spot that won't be too bad for tornados or hurricanes; so any input is appreciated!
Coloradans are going to hate me for this 😅 and it's not considered the south but the Denver area climate is dry heat, little humidity and hot summers. Denver has mild winters compared to the Northeast (NY) where I'm from. Like the city doesn't have plows lol. When everyone thinks of Colorado they think of mountains and snow. There's a lot of that too in the mountain range. Denver is a desert climate. Look up the weather. It's getting crowded. Everyone's moving to CO. I recently moved out and that's one thing I don't miss. But for good reason, it's an undeniably BEAUTIFUL state. Sorry this is a long winded way of saying, Denver, CO may have the weather you're looking for ☺️.
Kara's hair always looks amazing
I know right! Always so shiny 😍
