Watch our documentary here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuFv4iF8wgg&t=1s Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married 2013 and were super โ€œnormal.โ€ I was a teacher and Nate started a small printing business from the spare bedroom of our apartment. We discovered the world of โ€œtravel hackingโ€ & 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 โ€œone yearโ€ trip around the world. Our goal was to see as many places as possible before we ran out of money and went home to โ€œnormal life.โ€ 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. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŽฅ๐ŸŒŽ 00:00 our craziest โ€œbedโ€ yetโ€ฆ 01:11 packing our sleds for the night 03:20 trekking over a glacier 06:56 our ice cave home 14:11 our โ€œbedroomโ€ 18:15 coffee in the cave 19:24 hiking during avalanche warningโ€ฆ 23:45 Best travel hack weโ€™ve seen!!! 24:58 bloops
