    This video is a continuation of our first full day in the Amazon jungle with Otorongo Expeditions! We picked up with our drone crashing at the waterfall. Thankfully we retrieved it in one piece (with some broken, replaceable, blades), but we did not have spare blades with us to see if it still flew. We tried not to think about it and continued enjoying the crazy rainforest! Highlights include eating a fire-cooked lunch including palm grubs on a stick, and holding a caiman alligator!

    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 ;)

    Kata must be really patient with Nate or we probably don’t see the parts when she is not so patient. In watching these older videos I have seen Nate wreck 3 cameras, a phone, lose the audio on several days of filming, and now crash the drone. Hopefully the drone is okay….I haven’t finished the video so I don’t know. I love their videos, but I might not be so patient. I guess the mishaps are part of the charm.
