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 #northpole #travel #travelvlog #arcticcruise 0:00 2 week cruise to the NORTH POLE?! 0:38 Flying to the northernmost city in the world 2:01 Full tour of our luxury ice breaker ship! 5:47 Deck 5: where things get interesting 6:46 Why we love Athletic Greens 7:58 First sight of ICE 10:40 Restaurant #1 11:14 Deck 6: Helicopter pad 13:00 Deck 7: Luxury Duplex Suite 13:25 The Bridge 14:20 The Science Lab 15:25 Deck 9: The Spa 16:25 Fitness Center 17:08 The Main Lounge 18:18 Restraunt #2 18:50 Outdoor heated pool 20:05 Gala evening 21:34 Midnight sun!!!
