Who are Kara and Nate?!
Watch our documentary here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuFv4iF8wgg&t=1s

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married 2013 and were super β€œnormal.” I was a teacher and Nate started a small business from the spare bedroom of our apartment. We discovered the world of β€œtravel hacking” & became obsessed. So after 2 years of saving $35k and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016 for a β€œone year” trip around the world. Our goal was to see as many places as possible before we rean out of money and went home to normal life. We started this travel vlog to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with this lifestyle and did everything we could to keep going. 4 years later, we achieved our new goal of visiting 100 countries and all 7 continents. We had no plans to slow down, until 2020 forced us to πŸ˜‰ Which is when we bought a converted van to start exploring our own country for the first time. Van life 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. 😊πŸŽ₯🌎

  9. Eden Woodhouse on June 15, 2023 at 1:48 pm

    So when are you guys getting one?! :)))

  10. Born to be Wild on June 15, 2023 at 1:48 pm

    What a great video. I love that you really showed the comparison between doing it yourself, and where the money goes in a higher priced vehicle. Thank you for showing that difference. For all of us, in doubt as to whether we could get a better deal if we do it ourselves. This really shows a good point of view. Thanks.

  11. Dijana Brcina on June 15, 2023 at 1:49 pm

    Where do you do the laundry

  12. Max Wolf on June 15, 2023 at 1:50 pm

    And you can buy a decent Diesel Pusher for about the same price probably a 40-footer to

  13. Matt Hatter on June 15, 2023 at 1:50 pm

    Take my money, Winnebago! πŸ˜…

  14. Simon Albisser on June 15, 2023 at 1:51 pm

    The thumbnail is really confusing

  15. Joshonthespectrum on June 15, 2023 at 1:52 pm

    This guy gives me Brian laundry vibes hes a jerk to his significant other im surprised his wife is still with him

  16. Meadow on June 15, 2023 at 1:52 pm

    Bozeman plates!

  17. Jj Anderson on June 15, 2023 at 1:56 pm

    Nate Kira get your self a ekko if u want sell your sprinter

  18. M. M on June 15, 2023 at 1:56 pm

    Trucker Here.
    I shit in a bag and toss it out the window we call that truck dumping the the industry. I’ve grown accustomed to it

  19. Zen Plays on June 15, 2023 at 1:57 pm

    i came to dislike the video because your thumbnail is clearly clickbait. why are the pricetags swapped? it’s very obvious which one is the 180k van… just make a proper thumbnail without trying to mislead people.

  20. Bible Questions with Christopher on June 15, 2023 at 1:58 pm

    Home is where the heart is

  21. Txca.Lifexx on June 15, 2023 at 1:58 pm

    Honestly they love the ekko so much they should buy it!I love your channel guys!

  22. PRESA25 on June 15, 2023 at 1:58 pm

    I really like the look of it. I will say when you did the inside going through things it was loosing points with me. The fit and finish of the inside felt cheap. The drawers and the bed especially

  23. Here We are on June 15, 2023 at 1:58 pm

    Anytime i see these videos, I wonder, how many spare tires do they have on board?

  24. Yellomix on June 15, 2023 at 2:01 pm

    Idk how to simply hang a picture in my house so van life for me would be a tragedy

  25. Aiden i dont know! on June 15, 2023 at 2:02 pm

    i wonder why they dont have a kid yet

  26. Rylan Stunts !2! on June 15, 2023 at 2:02 pm

    I want to go in the bathroom and then get someone to turn it to see where is go.

  27. janiellah on June 15, 2023 at 2:03 pm

    My dream car

  28. Elsie Norback on June 15, 2023 at 2:03 pm

    The Ekko van physically looks like a firefighting Hot Shot buggy on the outside or a ambulance.

  29. its_me_noa_the_beast on June 15, 2023 at 2:04 pm

    my grandmother has a camper van that has the same bathroom and bedroom plz replie nate or kara

  30. Tony Young on June 15, 2023 at 2:04 pm

    Love the video but the toilet operation is open the flap,do your business ,flush, then close the flap. You do not crap on the flap !

  31. Chrissy Happy on June 15, 2023 at 2:05 pm

    We had a van like this, and on the rear bed we slept feet pointing sideways so the bit missing wouldn’t matter so much. Not sure if you could fit that way in this van.😊

  32. Jackson_Fur_ on June 15, 2023 at 2:05 pm

    The thumbnail prices are backwards lol

  33. Johnson 57 on June 15, 2023 at 2:06 pm

    They must do it all day

  34. Miruna_xx on June 15, 2023 at 2:07 pm

    I really think you should buy the ekko!!

  36. Gardner De Aguiar on June 15, 2023 at 2:08 pm

    People act like $40 grand is a drop in the bucket. I wanna see $3-$5k vs $180k and see your amazing results — because honestly, people who NEED to live like this DO NOT have $40 grand!

  37. aurelio castori on June 15, 2023 at 2:08 pm

    different camper same location

  38. its_dior! on June 15, 2023 at 2:09 pm

    id love to have a van life but my clostrophobia would freak out !!!!

  39. MadMouse79β˜† on June 15, 2023 at 2:10 pm

    Those weird things under the mattress were actually originally designed for boats in order to reduce moisture and mold. At least that’s what I was told πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ.

  40. Alana Dauphinais on June 15, 2023 at 2:10 pm

    Do more videos like this

  41. kaye on June 15, 2023 at 2:12 pm

    Damn, the Van got more outlets than my house..

  42. benjiboo on June 15, 2023 at 2:14 pm

    As you are a youtuber with 3 million subscribers, why dont you just get a better van? You should have enough money with all the videos you make

  43. Olivia on June 15, 2023 at 2:15 pm

    I’m still so confused how you found a converted sprinter at that price? nowadays an unconverted transit is pushing 50k

  44. Chris Pulido on June 15, 2023 at 2:15 pm

    How do you guys make money? Is youtube your primary source of income or do you guys work save money and then go on trips?

  45. alimae on June 15, 2023 at 2:17 pm

    Nate needs some new jeans. 😝

  46. Elsie Norback on June 15, 2023 at 2:18 pm

    I love the Ekko! It’s so sweet.

  47. AznboiKaBoom on June 15, 2023 at 2:23 pm

    Who would buy a camper van that costs as much as a house? WTF?

  48. Joseph Garfalo on June 15, 2023 at 2:24 pm

    Love your videos…Keep the van life going

  49. ggdfan1 on June 15, 2023 at 2:25 pm
