Kara And Nate

Kara and Nate are high school sweethearts from Nashville, Tennessee, who began their full-time travel journey in January 2016. They embarked on a one-way flight to Tokyo, Japan, after moving out of their apartment, selling their cars, and placing their belongings in storage. Their initial plan was to travel for one year before returning to Nashville to focus on careers and start a family. This plan evolved as their YouTube channel gained traction, allowing them to continue traveling and pursue content creation as a full-time profession.

Over the past four years since 2016, Kara and Nate have documented their daily travel experiences on their YouTube channel. By December 2019, they achieved their goal of visiting 100 countries. Their work primarily features travel vlogs, which now number over 500 videos across various destinations worldwide. Beyond vlogging, they also provide educational resources on travel hacking, YouTube content creation, and entrepreneurship, sharing their methods for saving on travel expenses and building an online business.

Their career progression includes extensive work in developing their YouTube presence, accumulating over 4 million subscribers, and winning a Shorty Award. They actively share income and expense reports from their travels, illustrating the financial aspects of their journey from their first report in July 2016, where they made $603.26. They also engage their community through interactive experiences, such as organizing a one-week Vespa tour in Italy for viewers, and maintain regular communication through a weekly newsletter called ‘Sunday Summary’.
