Who are Kara and Nate?!
Watch our documentary here: • 100th COUNTRY DOCUMENTARY
Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married 2013 and were super “normal.” I was a teacher and Nate started a small printing business from the spare bedroom of our apartment. We discovered the world of “travel hacking” & became obsessed. So after 2 years of obsessively saving $35k and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016 for a “one year” trip around the world. Our goal was to see as many places as possible before we ran 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 ;) 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. 😊🎥🌎

When you told us about going on this trip we were so excited for you.. I’m so happy to see the adventure came to life. What an experience!!! 🐋🤩🥹👏👏 just incredible. You’re so brave hahahaha I mean the orcas are one thing but THAT COLD WATER IS SOMETHING ELSE LOL HOWWWWWW?!!!!
Love your adventures 2!!!
so true! you guys are amazing tooooo!! 💕
I was on the same trip with Waterproof from the 3rd to the 10th of November 2022!💙
Most amazing experience of my life but very cold! You have A LOT of layers under the dry suit but next time I will bring the clothes that you charge overnight that keep you toasty all day🔥🥰
Love your videos from Norway😍
I started crying as soon as you were underwater. Seeing orcas like this. Insanely beautiful and magical. Thanks for making adventures like this accessible to the whole world.
Me too! So excited to try and get there in the next couple of years! Saving up as we speak!!
ME TOO!!
It happened to me too! Surreal
I can't help but notice how much the Orca's didnt care about them.
crying is crazyyy
I truly believe there is not any other channel that compares to Kara and Nate. These videos are edited and made so well, the music, the drone shots, just everything makes me love this channel more and more. Kara and Nate are some of the most kind hearted people on the platform and every Saturday morning I wake up and see what crazy thing you guys have planned. Love yall.
This is one of my dreams! Swimming with Orcas and to see the Aurora Borealis from the Arctic circle. What an amazing experience for you both!
That whole experience must have been breathtaking with the orcas. Wow. I loved hearing their noises. The way they move is so graceful and beautiful.
You can tell Kara and Nate are truly living their best lives when in nearly every video they make Kara says “this is the best day of my life”, it’s so sweet
I think I’ll just start saying that and see what starts to happen😊
@@mona_818😂
This is literally my dream. Absolutely incredible!
That shot when Nate first jumped in was the absolute perfect shot. The 2 so graceful and in sync with their movements. Absolutely stunning, guys. What an experience! So happy 2 guys from my hometown are getting to experience the entire world like this. Seeing how excited Nate was and Kara's tears made it so emotional for me as well. Loved this.
The editing of the beginning of this video is spectacular!!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Nate looked like a kid in a candy store talking about swimming with the whales. You guys are so brave. I'm literally crying watching how beautiful this experience was.
Thank you for sharing this rare experience with us ❤ this channel blesses us viewers ❤
Kara's complete joy and eagerness to get into the water that first almost-swim...lifted up my heart. And Whoa! Those orcas are amazing.
For someone who's never been outside Kenya,Kara and Nate make virtual travels insane🔥🔥 this was out of this world 😍😍😍
Agree just magical holy mooolyy❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The way Kara is excited, I'm here for it
So true, apart from I’ve only ever been to France, no, I live in the UK
It would be great if they dedicated time to freeing all the captive otcas!!
@@Mg-ht8xb like 99% of the ones in captivity can not be released. This has been said by multiple organizations multiple times.
Cool. So Cool! So cool that it's cold! 🥶
Man, I love to live vicariously thru you guys! It felt as if I was there!
The Orcs were awesome and so wonderful!
I'm glad you had fun! 🛳👋🏽
Absolutely THE BEST 👌 video you guys! Oh my gosh the experience to swim with wild orcas?! Amazing!
What a joyful video. I live in Norway, but have yet to see Orcas. It would really be a privelege to see them! True exploration is not the land it covers but the journey it inspires!
😮 I've got tears being "in the water" with the orcas!!!!! Thanks you two!!! ❤
I'm just gonna call it in advance.....I think this will end up being your most watched video of 2023. It's hard to top this kind of experience and you did a phenomenal job capturing it. Also, it needs to be mentioned that your video editor is doing her job SO WELL! The clip choices with the audio clips were placed perfectly! Great job Brooke (I think that's your name). There was a major change in video quality when Kara and Nate hired a dedicated video editor and that should notngo unnoticed. Not that Kara wasn't doing a great job but it's evident that making videos is an art form for you Brooke!
I love waking up and knowing that a new Kara & Nate video will be uploading on a Saturday Morning. This is one of your most cinematic videos. I felt like I was watching a National Geographic movie.
We are honored to be a part of your Saturday routine 🤗☕️🤍
Same
SAME! The editing was absolutely incredible! 👌
Right!!! I thought holy cow, this is going to be an amazing video!!! So professional documentary like AND it’s a half hour!!! So good you guys! It brought tears to my eyes ❤
It’s Sunday man, you’re living in the past
I love Norway! the nature and atmosphere is beautiful
This whole editing was a dream, and here I am sitting, tears in my eyes when you first see the Orcas! What a video! xx
This is my absolute dream and it’s amazing watching you experience this. Might have to book a trip to Norway ❤❤❤
SWIMMING WITH ORCAS has been my dream my whole life!!!! Thank you for sharing your experience! ❤❤
I find it so interesting, that the views you see when visiting Norway is so normal for me. And I just find it so interesting to see how you react to it😍
WOW. I just need to say how beautiful your filming style has gotten. Those opening drone shots were just beautiful too.
Also for every 90s kid that was OBSESSED with Free Willy...thank you. This was beautiful and I literally cried seeing all the Orcas and hearing them. Definitely one of my fave Kara and Nate videos of all time. ❤️
This video rekindled my childhood love for Orcas (and also because of Free Willy).
90’s kid over here 🎉 Free Willy was my jam! 😊
....well....that orca in free Willy who was release found his was to the coast of Norway ....were he spent his last time of life. He got quite some attention and people jumped into the water and played with him. It was a bit further south than the area you saw in the video.
I love how Kara stands in the lounge like a little kid it was so funny and sweet
It's so contagious to see you this happy and wondruous 😊 Thank you
This was the Best this was your best after years of following your adventures ❤🎉 these orcas made me cry! That’s what’s dreams are made of Oh Norway you are just so majestic , challenging yet sooo Divine! All these humpbacks 🐋 and Orcas … this would also be best day of my life if I’d been part of this! Thank you for this beautiful episode ❤🫶🏼👍🏼🙏🏼 it truely was spectacular
Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
Orcas have been my favourite animals since I knew they existed and truly I can’t thank you enough for this video, I cried the entire way through. The filming is outstanding and I’m so glad you got to experience this ❤❤❤
Orcas are the eagles of the Sea ...so powerful yet majestic ❤
I love Kara's spirit. I've been watching for six+ years and she's always having the best day ever, whatever situation she's in.
It’s wonderful to see, and always makes my day better. Even if things are going wrong and she gets a nice coffee or food she’ll go “wow this is the best day ever” 😂
There should be a compilation video of Kara stating "this is the best day ever!" and Nate stating "this is the best day of my life." LOL
@@flutecf I need that so badly!! 😂
💯 agree ❤️❤️
I mean its their job to be positive, no one would watch the videos if they just said "this sucks" all day lol
So neat! We have been wanting to kayak with them, didn't think about swimming with them!
My mind is blown with this footage!! Definitely now a bucket list item for my travels. As an amateur photographer, I’m speechless with the footage and wished I was there for my own shots
We swam with dolphins, sea lions, and whale sharks off our sailboat in warmer waters - orcas definitely must have been intimidating, but sooo beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Love their voices! Did you feel them clicking towards you through your suits?
Hey guys! I love your videos! I’m doing this same trip in November! Just booked my trip with Waterproof Expeditions. I can’t wait. I’ve been in love with orcas my whole life, so this will be extra special!
This is so amazing, it literally made me cry!!! Especially after seeing Kara right after swimming with the orcas. Thank you both for giving the world the gift of watching your beautiful adventures.
This video made me realize that broadcast quality is no longer the bar. Kara and Nate are now THE STANDARD to measure all others.
The cinematic quality, the story quality, the emotional quality, the energy & excitement... I'll coin the term, Buchannon Bar!
LOVE YOU GUYS! 🥰🥰🥰
WHAT A TRUE TRUE BLESSING!! I’m crying right now orcas are and always have been by far my favorite animal I’ve always dreamt of seeing them in real life! So HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH. 😭😭
This is masterful. What an experience, and perfectly captured.
It blows my mind what they do! Like all the risks they take and adventures. I would never do any of these in a million years. 🤯 They are perfect for eachother because they both love adventure and seize life!!! Amazing!!!!🙌❤❤❤
oh wow, wow, wow. the best day ever for you. the sounds they made were so beautiful. what a perfect trip! thank you so much for sharing the wonderful footage. what a blast!
WOW! Kara and Nate this is absolutely incredible. The quality of this episode was insane and its so beautiful to see how far you've come... Thank you for sharing this experience with us. Love from Iceland!
Guys this intro was so cool! The whole video we felt all the emotions with you, you captured it all so well -WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!
Can’t wait to see the four of you together!
i was hopping to see you guys here too!
Can’t wait each week for your videos. Love u guys!!!!❤
For sure
Kara that backflip was freaking badass, loved the video, now I have to go there!
Love from Estonia!❤️
Yes! Thanks for bringing us along! This was truly awesome - what a scenic landscape and what an experience with the orcas and whales! Incredible! Thank you and keep it coming! :)
Insane! Been watching you guys for a few years now, and I'm consistently wowed at the adventures you all embark on. (Sad to have not gotten to do the Italy vespa tour or the Nashville 1 million followers trips) You take travel vlogging to a different level. Wouldn't be surprised if travel channel or nat geo doesn't pick you up one day for your own show. That said, orkas can be so aggressive - I'm surprised they let people dive with them!
Such an amazing experience, I've swam with dolphins, great white sharks and Whale sharks. Hump backs, orca and if I can Sperm whales are on my list to swim with in the wild.
Great video you both!!
I live in Tromsø and love how you captured our beautiful part of the world! The light during this time of year is magical, I’m so glad you got to experience it!
Gave me chills! They are so amazing! ❤
This is one of the most incredible things I've seen so can only imagine how it was for you guys!!!
Loved this! What an incredible video - thank you for sharing your adventure. The editing was *mwah*!!!
I felt everything after Kara’s “O my gosh”. I cried it was so beautiful! I watch every video for the laughs and cries. And now we’re trying to learn Nate’s travel hacks 😉
I've been watching your videos for about a year and I've gone back and watched from the beginning. I love so many of your adventures, it's hard to pick a favorite. But THIS video!!! The cinematic shots are 🤌🔥🔥🔥. It looks like this was filmed for a national geographic documentary. So pretty and so awesome! Good job and keep up the awesome adventures!
I have watched every one of your videos from the very beginning and this one deserves an award! From the dramatic intro to the amazingly beautiful cinematography, I felt like I was watching a movie instead of a vlog. Well done Kara & Nate….and editor👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. You’ve really reached a new level with this one!
Just saw your IG story and realized that Kara did the editing….AMAZING🤯
Thank you for sharing! It made me so happy to look at those beautiful Orcas!😭♥️😍
Those Orcas are incredibly healthy! Wow what an experience!
What an amazing life and world we have and I am totally down to do the research and maybe a foundation with you Kara on orcas!🤣
this video deserves more views🙌 I just fell in love with orcas through Kara and Nate's lenses not to mention I nearly shed a tear by day 3🤧
Wow. Incredible filming. I seriously thought I was watching a National Geographic film. Amazing job! Swimming with whales is at the top of my bucket list.
When Nate's on the deck talking about how he's never been this excited in awhile, I think it's the first time I've seen him act like Kara, that excited, child like, happiness. It made me watch this whole video!! So cool you had a dream come true during this trip!!
Hi
Amazing video. What an experience, definitely added to our bucket list
This video is such a good promotion to come and see Northern Norway! Thank you for a amazing video! 😍🇳🇴
You guys are amazing storytellers. Thanks for bringing a much needed smile, giggle, awe and tear to a long travel day.
Me at age 13 watching this and just thinking "I know exactly what I want and who I wanna be" ❤ Wales are my absolute favourite animals and ORCAS💗 I wanna be KARA when I grow up.
Another stellar production. Loved everything about this one; the location, the topic, the scenery. Knocked it OUT OF THE PARK! I have said this before, but the quality of the photography is outstanding - some of the highest caliber work I have ever seen. I feel like I am watching a professionally produced documentary. I could feel your energy throughout the video and I must admit that my own emotions were quite high as this is a dream of mine as well.
Keep doing what you are doing - this is GREAT!
I can't even imagine how magical this experience must have been in person, but I think I got a pretty good idea from this masterpiece of a video. I literally cried when the orcas first came into view under the water. Thank you Kata and Nate for everything you do, and for sharing it all with us
That's when I cried too! It was just so cool and beautiful.
I thought I was the only one 😂
This was truly amazing, I never knew I needed to swim with orcas, but now I do. You guys always take the best trips & really inspire all of us to step out of our comfort zones & experience life to its fullest 🎉
I'm crying. How awesoome. Thank you sharing you're adventures with us all. I love you guys
It’s so weird and cool to see people experience something that is just totally ordinary for us locals. It honestly opens our eyes and makes us realize how awesome it really is. 💙👏🏼 (Not that we normally go swimming with orcas… But we’ve seen them every year and never really thought about it).
I was not expecting to immediately tear up as soon as you went under water. Your excitement and elation radiated through this video and I was so excited for you! I can't imagine how magical this must have been in real life! WOW! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
The way I literally sucked in a gasp of air and immediately started tearing up when that camera went under water and there they were. Oh my gawd. SUCH beautiful creatures and such a rare opportunity. Thank you for sharing this. I'm still actually drying my eyes. Oh wow.
Literally shed a few tears, this was beautiful! Orcas are so enchanting. I’m so happy that you both shared a form of this experience with all of us!
Literally same. The footage was otherworldly ❤.
I cried the second I saw them. They are truly my favorite animal.
this is so cinematic, so beautiful, so incredible
You two just lived my dream with swimming with orcas ❤
I literally had chills all over and tears in my eyes. Amazingly beautiful job documenting this you guys 🥹🥹 Adding this to the bucket list.
Wow, the photography and presentation is so wonderful in this video- your best ever. We were lucky to see Orcas off the coast from Bremer Bay in Western Australia, but swimming with them is just taking things to an amazing level. Thanks so much for sharing.
when you jumped in water and saw the orcas i had tears in my eyes. just the joy. i cannot imagine the feeling. thank you for sharing😊
For those who'll never be able to travel like you do , thank you for sharing these videos. They are truly wholesome. We are most grateful to you, nate, and your team
As someone who travels often myself, I don't really get jealous when watching any of their videos. Until now. Made me cry.
Wow just wow. I cannot even imagine how that must have felt… I think at that point you must feel so minute on earth. They are beautiful creatures, right where they belong!
We love your channel and it has inspired us to start a travel vlog as well!
OMG!!! After following you guys for about 3 years, I believe this is BY FAR the most beautiful, intense, emotional and perfectly crafted/edited video you guys have put out there for us to enjoy!
KARA & NATE reloaded is ON FIRE and it’s here kicking a*s!! From the very beginning with that amazing intro through the very end… WOW! This is absolutely next level cinematography from any content creator I’ve ever seen.
And yet, the EMOTIONS! I could feel like I could touch everything from my phone screen. Mesmerizing 💙
I literally couldn’t stop crying while gasping for air with my jaw in the floor😱 the entire time between Mins 10 and 20.
God bless you guys!!!! Thanks for inspiring people from the bottom of your hearts and with your genuine energy and hunger to live this life to its fullest. All the best!🎉
This is just the coolest thing I’ve ever seen you do. Amazing! You guys were so brave. 💪🤩👏
This is not just a travel channel ....This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old woman. 👍👍🥰🥰
I agree❤❤❤ these two are amazing how they not only capture, but study the environment
Your videos are getting better and better. The slow opening with cinematic footage was really good!! And, of course, the storytelling was as always on the top! Great job!
I don’t normally comment on anything, but you guys, literally I am tearing up because of how beautiful of a moment that was swimming with those orcas. Thank you for providing this content.
This may be one of your best videos yet! It is absolutely beautiful! The excitement from the instructor and the excitement from Kara the first time you got in the water and swam with the orca's had me in tears! Thank you for taking us with you on this incredible adventure!!! Lots of love from LeClaire, IA! ❤
OMG! This is amazing! I just returned from Antarctica and on the last day, on the last zodiac cruise, Orcas came up to our boats to check us out and I thought nothing could get better than that, this video proves it's possible to have a more amazing encounter!
What an amazing experience that had to be. Something that few will ever get to do. Thanks for sharing it in such an awesome way and making us feel like we were there with you.
this video was so beyond beautiful. i’m not sure why it made me so emotional, but the moment you got in the water i bursted into tears. they’re just such magnificent creatures and the way you were able to see them in their own environment was just incredible
Same!!! 🥰
That happened to me too 😭💓
What a blessing, you got to hear whale song, right in the water with them! Amazing😊
Oh my gosh, same here!! 😭❤
Yes! Same. The video almost felt like a meditative video. I feel so at peace after watching. Go team K&N!
WOW, just WOW. This is amazing. your content keeps getting better and better xx
An Orca has always been my spirit animal. Since I was a kid & I’m 41 now. It really makes me emotional to see a pod so close like that & not get aggressive, assess & strategic. Shows how emotionally intelligent they are. I love elephants too. But no way I’d wanna see a polar bear 😂
I have watched the nearly 900 episodes in this series. All of them. The ones in the villages of the subcontinent may have been the best.
Until now.
Bravo.
The most beautiful video you have ever made… the intro made me cry I was so happy to see it and the sound of the Ocras ❤❤❤❤😢😢😢 well done Kara and Nate 🎉 this is a gorgeous video! My boys really like your videos too
One of my favorite videos you guys have ever done! I mean the first minute feels like we are getting ready to watch an epic Nat Geo documentary...and what an epic and beautiful adventure it was! Loved every single minute. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
We have definitely added this to our bucket list! One of our favorites as well. Epic, beautiful, inspiring, all of the above!
Probably my favorite episode of Kara and Nate so far! The anticipation was so high! The scenery was breathtaking! I love whales, they are so beautiful and peaceful! Kara, Nate you can totally have your own show on the National Geographic or the Travel Channel! You would be a big hit! I love you guys!!! 🤗❤
Wow, what an amazing trip! I never get sick of watching you guys! Glad to hear the dry suits worked. We are headed to Iceland to snorkel in similar suits and I was nervous about that until watching this video--thank you for the piece of mind and wishing you both safe and happy travels always!
Wow this is epic!!! Amazing job! I don't think I could do those rough waters and deal with the cold at the same time. My hat goes off to the both of you.
You guys this is incredible, the editing, the cinematography, the orcas, everything. It's got to be your best video yet!
My goawddd, thank you for sharing this amazing adventure. This is now on my to-do list, and will be saving up to do next winter. How amazing.
