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. 😊🎥🌎
Wall Drug is the classic "tourist trap" but in the best way. As long as you embrace it for what it is, it's tons of fun. Badlands National Park is just stunning.
Don't you dare forget about Buc-ee's, now.
You sounded like my dad at the start lmao, he's always said it was a tourist trap.
Today is a sad day. After months of binge watching K&N, I have finally watched all 764 videos. Discovered this channel middle of last year from the Mount Everest vlogs and went back and started watching from day one. I love the channel enjoy exploring the world through their eyes.
Try Off the ranch. Might enjoy
I know the feeling. Now you have to wait for their new uploads
I started "at the beginning" when I was in quarantine with Covid. It's gonna take me awhile to get through them all!!
Try Bald & bankrupt
@@kristahistand1118 enjoy the ride, it is a fun experience. Some evenings I watched 10-15 episodes.
Kara and Nate are the best duo, and every single week they help everyone including me to figure out where they want to travel to after the pandemic. Thank you so much Kara and Nate!
I'm so used to being the kind of person that doesn't like sleeping outside, camping and van life stuff and I really adore the comfort I have at home and indoors in general. But the more I watch your videos, the more lighthearted and adventurous I become and the more fun it seems to me to get out of the comfort zone and do some of the things that you do. Thank you for not only being fun but also an inspiration!
I can never get over every single video Nate brings her coffee as soon as she wakes up even living with people in remote places!
I love this unpretentious, very natural and down to earth couple. Looking at those influencers who introduce expensive handbags and fashion styles make me feel their lives are impractical.
Kay Getaway impractical? If it makes them happy than who cares. Some people find extreme happiness and fulfillment in a material world
I absolutely loved the moment the resistance band snapped. Like- that was the most real, unedited thing and I love it. Plus need me a partner who kisses me a wake and says coffee is ready. *aww emoji*
@@chiyuuyukiful I am sure you let a few go. ? Because you were not in love
its so nice to see kara remembering the story behind the picture with the drum.After countless experiences she still remembered the whole night clearly :)
We stopped at Wall Drug for hours in 1969 traveling across the country on a all summer trip around the USA when I was 14. (mini version of your adventures) I had a Wall Drug sign on my bedroom wall for years after. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
it must take them twice as long for the hikes they do because of the video footage they have. it is amazing.
Oh my gosh! This Aussie family got sucked into stopping at Wall Drug too on our 2 month adventure in our motorhome across America & Canada. It was hysterical. The kids loved the “live” dinosaurs!
Just discovered y'all yesterday and am proper obsessed after watching like 5 hours 😂 yall are so likeable and fun..please come to The Chesapeake Bay bridge/ Eastern shore of Maryland..legit one of the scariest bridges in America. ..keep making material y'all rock!
Hi
I discovered this channel a couple weeks ago and I’m HOOKED. Keep up the good work
Same
💗💗💗
Wow! You have a plethora of vids to binge! I'm actually a little jealous.
Oh, welcome to the community! Have fun binge watching if you choose to! Starting with the Tokyo flight, you are in for the adventure of a lifetime! Finding Kara and Nate kind of changed my life in all the best ways.
i discovered this channel 3 years ago...but didnt get a single like on my comment :(
Kara is amazing at editing. Its crazy.
I know, each time I watch there videos, I am always amazed at how good the editing is
Practice makes perfect and she is a perfect woman. Love ya too Nate
Great video footage, thanks for sharing. Great memories!
My wife and I have been there a few years ago and we really enjoyed it!
You two are such a lovely team and a dream to watch. Your connection between one another and your energy is magnetic. I only recently came across your channel but I absolutely adore your content! Cant wait to see more of your "crazy ideas" love it!
As a South Dakotan I'm so glad you came back and spent some time. The maple donuts are the best for sure, I kept thinking get the maple donuts!! Have a safe rest of your trip.
I’m loving the shout out for Eamon & Bec and Kinging It❤️❤️❤️ i’ve been watching them for years as well. You introduced me to the endless adventure & they introduced me to kinging it.
"Your hair was very thick" "What are you trying to say!?" 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah I heard him say it too. What's your point?
😂😂
I love the way Kara smiles she is like a baby who gets excited over small things...love watching your videos..You guys are so much fun to watch..
Funny thing when Kara and Nate were eating their food in wall drug i sat exactly where Kara sat. I thought that was pretty cool. Love watching your guys video's. Keep up the good work.
My grandpa grew up in a town outside of wall and helped put the signs up! Glad you enjoyed South Dakota and our crazy weather
Thank you for putting so much care into all that you do and making the effort to film it all for us to join along side you and yours journeys! You both are amazing lights in this world and we all love you for it!!! Love your work!!!
Guys I loved the Q & A! That’d be awesome if you did that more often; Was cool seeing a different / less scripted side of you!
I'm 82 and my father had the driving gene. In the 50's/ before the Interstates. we would take road trips from Chicago and go west. I can remember Wall drug signs in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri and many other states. Good times.
OMG im so happy to see youve been to zimbabwe thats my home country its such an unkown country its so cool to see you there!
I absolutely love watching you guys and seeing your adventures all over the world. I have always dreamed of traveling the world but couldn't afford too. Maybe one day! For now living vicariously through your videos!! Love them keep them coming guys!!
I never feel like the minutes I spend watching you guys are wasted! Another enjoyable visit! Thanks!
If only duck sized horses were a real thing, I would definitely own a 100 of them! They would be so adorable!!
I mean that’s basically what a goat is
Agreed !
Plastic or real?
Cuz there is plastic ones
Definitely😂
Just found your channel, like it so far ( loving it with a few rums :) ) Have been in the U.S and Canada about 20 years ago (14 at the time) LOVED the place and the people. CRAZY how insane some places and people seem on the News here in Australia (mainstream media make U.S.A out to be a war zone most of the time) Absolutely love how the REAL Merica is so wholesome and friendly, even if it is a "Drug store, Truck Stop or Gas stop" (the note for the camp site was sooooo good and would made me feel at home) Just rambling now (too many Rums................NEVER)
KINGING IT!!!! They are amazing! Everybody needs to watch them. Especially their Riskshaw series in India.
I love the low key shade...
"Since Hot Ones has never invited us on the show, we're just going to do our own version."
SO do we!!! Love van life.
cmon there’s sooo many youtubers i wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t know who they are
@@elymorales7021 Just having fun. I'm sure Hot Ones won't ever see my comment either.
Hot ones only invites celebs or really famous influencers tho so the shade is uncalled for
You both are so easy to watch, we were watching and decided to watch from the beginning. I love that you both are just yourselves and some how manage to take us on the experience with you. Love, love this channel our favorite for sure ! ❤
Love your videos. I feel like I’m traveling the world with you guys and the video production is impeccable!!! Keep up the great work!!!
This place is on my road trip list for the end of this month! Can't wait to see it! Thanks for giving me a heads up on what its like! Love your vlogs! :)
Always stop for a donut and 5cent coffee! The grandkids love the splash pad!
Memories of my SD tour several years ago. I hope you at least get a glimpse of Mt. Rushmore along a highway .
Wow, that was a trip down memory lane. I was at Wall Drug during the summer of 1967 when my family drove across the US as we moved to LA. Thanks gang!
I am from Bavaria South Germany and we also have an animal which almost looks like the Jackalope. It is called Wolpertinger! It even has wings!
Don’t feel bad Kara, I, my 47 years, have believed that Narwhals were mythical creatures and not real until recently. Now I question everything “Wait, is it real?”
To be fair, narwhals do seem like they shouldn't be real. :)
Yes!! There’s no reason that a jackalope couldn’t be real when narwhals exist.
I was right now years old when I learned that narwhals are, in fact, real.
I have seen every single Kara and Nate video and this video is definitely in my top three. I love you guys so much. Thank you for existing.
Kara and Nate are just so wonderful
These two are the cutest couple to watch ever. Such chemistry and they laugh!
“ Where the heck is Wall Drug?” Bumpers stickers everywhere
That’s what I remember about South Dakota- also the Corn Palace 😂
"My face kinda hurts." Another classic K&N video!! Shame about missing Mount Rushmore. I had just watched the movie North by Northwest (1959) so was looking forward to seeing things in 2021.
I love the chapel. They have those mexican blankets that I like. It amazes me how fit Kara is. I think you balance each other. Kara is fun and easy going. Nate is intense and regimented.
12:15 That Moment Brought a smile to my face. I am glad you enjoyed our Country. Please Come again 🙏
Can we acknowledge the fact that you both were able to find souvenirs with your names on them??
Imagine if this channel turned into “living in a *enter store name here* parking lot for 24 hours” channel. Who needs travel vlogs when you got this?
Omg I'm in the middle of watching the really old vlogs from the first year and there is SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE between 2016 Nate talking to a camera and 2021 Nate talking to a camera. Wow.
Did you see the vlog from Nate's brother's wedding during their first year? Nate had always hated public speaking, but he was awesome giving the best man speech. Speaking to the camera for 5 months helped his confidence. Imagine, he's now had something like 5 years practice.
Haha, I was thinking the same yesterday watching the old episodes from Portugal and then jumping on the more recent from Dominican Republic. The difference is huuuuuge.
@@spooniesarah No, I haven't seen that one, but I can only imagine. I watched a clip from one of the earliest videos about how he had to get over his fear of judgement really quickly. It really is interesting to see the change.
@@karolinamackiewicz514 I'm digging through the full set of videos, top to bottom. I'm looking forward to seeing them in countries outside of Asia, but we'll see. No idea how long that will take, but I'm on the ride now!
I'm watching the entire series of Vlogs for the 4th time now, and have done a few individual ones more than that! This last time through I noticed UA-cam deleted my "like" on their videos so I'm going through them all to make sure they get clicked and keep Kara and Nates popularity algorithm up in UA-cam's system. You can see how much Kara and Nate rely on and need (love) each other when you watch the videos like Nate doing a long "travel miles trip" flight by himself and the one where they wanted to see 2 different things in a city on the same day but didn't have time to do both one after the other, so they each went to one by themselves to film it and they hated not experiencing those things with each other.
Awesome video.. brought back a lot of memories. I used to live in wall, SD. My grandparents ran a fireworks store next to the highway from the main road into town . So many good memories of that town. As a young teen it was magical.
This is kind of random, but I have been watching a lot of your videos lately and I'm super impressed with your videography! You are able to make it feel like a movie or as if we are with y'all.
Wall Drug is such a great place. I remember when it was just one HUGE building and it kept growing and growing.
Great video! It was fun getting to meet y’all and even dive with y’all, have a great rest of your trip.
So nice to meet you Julian! Enjoy those fish you shot! 👏🏻
@@KaraandNate I will!
(This is my other account)
You’re on the road so you’ve got to pass a lot of truck stops. HINT a lot of truck stops have showers available, especially bigger ones, some are even really nice. It’s a good option, pull in for gas, some food and a quick shower. I highly recommend.
Agreed, I had to go on a road trip 2 years ago. Going up to a friends cabin. Went by a truck stop, the showers there were really nice and honestly it was super cheap. Definitely recommend.
Thanks Kara and Nate for the great video. We just stopped at Walldrug on our way back from Mount Rushmore. It did not disappoint!!
I am slowly working my way through all your videos, so far so good, I am enjoying them.
We appreciate everything that you do for us viewers. I literally wait for Sundays to watch what you have in store for us. Keep doing and keep entertaining us while taking care of yourselves.
Stay safe guys.
Love from India 🇮🇳
My experience in South Dakota with Badlands, Devils tower and Mt. Rushmore was very similar. So cold at Devil's tower and lovely and warm in Badlands. I made it to Rushmore, but might as well not have as it was so foggy you could barely see it 😖 All of this was in 2006 as a very inexperienced 20 year old traveller... so this video has been a brilliant trip down memory lane for me! ❤️🙌 Thank you!
Go in the summer :) It is much nicer starting in May through September.
@@CarrieLuikens I think 2006 must have been a bad weather year as I was there either the last day or 2 of August, or the first day or 2 in September. But Chicago had been miserable weather the whole time before S.Dakota and spending the night in a tent in Cody, WY after South Dakota is an experience I'll never forget - it got SO cold!!
Now you have just gone up to my number one couple on UA-cam! I am so glad that you went to Wall Drug and the Badlands! ♥️♥️♥️
I love these 24 hours at places. You guys are so amazing!!!!
Honestly one of my favorite videos I fell like they are acting like this is not even a video.They are just having a blast makes me so happy😄
You guys are so fun to follow! I love it! And LOVE that you were able to get the workout done with the sports bra (so sorry about your resistance band -- you better get a refund)!!!
Thanks Lindsey! 🤩 Sports bra saved the day! I have enjoyed your workouts on the road SO much this year! Thanks for being so awesome and for helping me get stronger 💪🏻💗
Lindsey and Kara and Nate...2 of my UA-cam worlds collide. :)
@RAH Capital Because she's from the Midwest...haha
@RAH Capitalsympathy
Hi Kara and Nate! Im from Philippines and I've been watching your travel videos for a week and Im very impressed of how you manage your time and your money travelling. And I also love how much u value each countries culture and how eager u guys are to explore it. Im also touch of how generous you are for giving that lady a $500 tip. Hoping you two are safe in every travel you are in. Godbless you more. 😘
*I LOOK FORWARD TO THESE UPLOADS EVERY SUNDAY :D Who else feels?!*
AHHH I LOVE WALL DRUG me and my family go on a trip there every and. Thought the painted sings were in every state huh
I was super concerned until about 17 min in when Nate FINALLY tried the donuts!!! When I think of Wall Drug, I think of those donuts. They are very similar to the ones we had at the top of Pikes Peak. There’s also the Hotel Alex Johnson in Rapid City that is super cool. They used to have a pretty great chocolate shop in the lobby.
Did they try the sticky buns though?
I had my first buffalo burger at Wall Drug in 1966,when I was 5 years old. I've visited many times since and I always have a "Where the heck is Wall Drug? " on every vehicle I've owned. My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message.
"Bunnies with antlers don't exist" 🤣
I loved the bloopers of this 🤣...
@@laurenchmielewski7274 too funny! 😂😂
Jackelope: How dare you forget about me
I still don't know if they do or not!?
they do in New Mexico,,lol!
Kara just had her Jessica Simpson "Chicken of the Sea" moment! :D
🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL that was so cute and funny! 😄
Lol .. except Jessica's was way more embarrassing!
That was my first thought too 😂😂😂
To be fair to Jessica Simpson, who calls tuna chicken of the Sea?
OMG!!! Absolutely fabulous place to put on my bucket list road trip itinerary! Oh how my bucket list is growing!
Because of a bizarre series of circumstances.. I needed to choose a place to stay somewhere in this area of SD. Because of this video, I knew Wall was a worthy destination.. I cannot wait to come see it in person in a few weeks! Merci guys!!
Kara and Nate! Our favourite UA-cam couple ❤️ love from South Africa 🇿🇦
When I was around 3 my Mom took me here. The ice cream is so amazing, and tastes way better than Ben&Jerrys. The things your see are crazy, and how just 818 people keep that place running, (+tourists) is crazy. Keep up the good work!
the Hot Ones part turned out really good. so fun to watch. close to the real thing, I thought!
You guys should do for Q&A’s!!! They’re so fun to watch. Love you guys:))
Ok I know this is an old video, but I just discovered you guys and I’m making my way through. #1 - your videos bring me such joy. I
miss traveling so much and watching your vlogs and discovering you two came at a much needed time for “joy”. #2 - Kara, I too thought the mighty Jack-a-lope was real into my young adulthood. For the record, I’m still not convinced they’re NOT out there somewhere. Happy Trails ❤️ Jules
We love following yalls journey to see what you come up with next! Thanks for everything yall do to bring us great entertainment!
You guys have grown so much! I am loving your videos and how you have adapted to the changing times! I hope one day you can come back to Canada and do a cross-country (once we sort out our crisis better).
To think they have to walk back to get the camera after transition every time lol
I was thinking that too Haha. And the editing to take all that out haha.
I love the fact that they will drive off without the camera too😂
worth the revenue
Kara that look, whatever it is meant to be, is not good on you, give it back to Nate or donate to goodwill. The jacket shirt thing is about 6 times too big on you!
If they could only use the drone lol the struggles of filming national parks!!
We're so glad you did this video! Driving cross country (to get to Glacier NP) and would not have known that this was worth a stop without your video. Cheers to weird places. :)
i’m not going to lie i think this is my fave video you guys have made because i feel like i really got to know you while you were eating hot sauce
Not the first time a woman has turned a business around and it certainly won't be the last 🙌🏼
Say it louder for the people in the back!
I found out that my wife is a former porn actress. I swear I don't know what to do.
@@juanpedro4083 Wait, are you fr??
@@juanpedro4083 really? what’s her name that she went by?
@@santanalarkin6118 no
I saw my first mounted jackalope on Cape Cod!! and yes,I was a sucker and got pulled into it too! Now we know better Kara :)
the real question is would you rather fight 1 horse sized jackelope or 100 jackelope sized horses, hmmm
hmmmmm 🕵️♀️
100 Jackalope sized horses
I'm glad to live in such a small town like this! It's amazing, with calm and peaceful sounds.
I went to South Dakota last year. I couldn't miss out on Wall Drug. It was so much fun!!!
I just love how Kara thought Jackalopes rabbit were real 🤣
That was soo cool and sweet! We have something similar in Southern Germany called "Wolpertinger".
Sioux Falls (through Walldrug and the badlands) to the black hills and devils tower is the best road trip ever.
"In this world of ups and downs, isn't it nice to know there are jackalopes around?"
You 2 are the best. I'm so glad I found your channel!!!
just subscribed. Watched the bunker vid too. Don't you worry about the jackalope mix up Kara. Nate definitely said " Haven't you ever heard of a jackalope?...." which does kinda convey that they are a real thing.
As a 10 year old in 1977, it was amazing, iconic, and you're right, it's all about the anticipation! I dorve there in the summer with my grandparents in a 1963 Dodge pickup without AC!
This was such a great vlog!! Love hot ones and I hope to see Kara and Nate on the show one day!! Also Nate def fooled me too with the Jackalope 😂😂.
I went to South Dakota and the Wall not too long ago on vacation! It really is the coolest and weirdest drugstore I've ever been in! All of the animatronics in some of the stores and the tiny chapel was really cool!
I just finished watching Nomandland and realised this is the same place they shot the movie. Love the video K&N
love watching you two travel all over the place, wish i could do it too. I am going to figure out a way, so many places i want to go!!!
Finally you’re doing something I’ve done! I loved visiting the badlands.
How do you guys manage to NOT buy souvenirs everywhere you go????? Or do you buy stuff and send it home? It would be super cool if, someday when you've stopped traveling, you were able to open all these boxes of mementos.....
that’s actually a really good idea
Like @DrewBinsky
Maybe they don't want to fill their (eventual) house with shite?! 🤔 Photos, videos and memories are enough, no?
@@ashlynlewis9863 No, it really isn't. The world doesn't need more mass-produced JUNK.
Well they have all of these videos a souvenirs
You guys are the only travel couple that I watch :)
You should check out Flying the Nest, Dabble and Travel, The Travel Beans, and The Endless Adventure. They are all so much more real and down to earth.
This is literally my dream/goal I so badly want to get a van or minivan whatever it shall be, and just be able to feel free, peace, no stress and just express my kindess and the love and to meet new people and LIVE life!!! This is awesome I found you through the one resident video and I like you guys instantly nothing but good vibes!!! 💗💞💗💞
Dear Kara and Nate,
This video and the BUCEES are my favorite vids you guys have ever made!
