HAPPY BIRTHDAY KARA! The world is a better place because of you :)

Okay. It is two days before Kara's birthday and I've just snuck out of the apartment after sending out a secret email asking you all to send in a video of how Kara has positively impacted your life. Once I receive all of these videos, I'm going to send them to my sister, get her to cut them down and then I'm going to get her to secretly upload this video on Kara's birthday. I thought there was no better way to celebrate Kara's birthday than to let her know that the impact that she has had on all over the world. And thank you, thank you, thank you to everybody who's helped me make this possible. Kara, Happy birthday. I love you. And you being you makes the world a better place.

I know this is a big surprise what Nate did for you. I think it's pretty cool.

We're some of the luckiest ones because.

You have impacted us since the very moment you were born. We love you, Kara. Happy birthday. Happy birthday, Kara.

Happy birthday. Love you.

We love you, Kara.

I have been impacted immensely throughout my entire life. The way you love people, how thoughtful you are, and you genuinely never let anybody go unnoticed. So you are amazing. You're the best sister ever and I don't deserve you. And I love you so much. Happy birthday. Hey, Kiera. We love you so much. You're the most joyful person that I know. You've taught me how to love people well.

Happy birthday. Hey, Cara. We're just such good fans of yours here in Bullard, Texas.

We love you.

Really, you're awesome.

Happy birthday, Cara. Hope it's awesome. See ya.

Come see us sometime.

Birthday is coming up on February 27th and I want to do something special for her.

Birthday. Carol, we love your vlogs.

We want to travel the world like you. Happy birthday.

I love the video. When you were in Thailand.

It was so funny because you were eating frogs. I also remember you were eating half cricket. And I remember you were eating worms. Ew.

You're also so brave. And I think back to the time that you tried the spider in Cambodia. And I have nothing but respect for you. We went and found Banh Mi 25 when we were in Hanoi. And we love Vietnamese pho too. I love how much you love your food.

Always makes me smile and brightens up my day when your face look at food. Because every single time your face looks at food, it makes me laugh and it makes me happy. But most importantly, it makes me want to try new food as well. When I'm traveling, I especially love that you Love food because so do I. My first favorite thing is when Kara tries something new and she absolutely loves it. Her eyes get really big and she says it's so good. It cracks me up every single time. I wanted to thank you because it was your enthusiasm that got my husband and I on a Ljubljana food tour. We been watching your videos from the start. We love them. We just come back from Chiang Mai when we went looking for the monk. Couldn't find him, but the place was shut.

We did have some fantastic khao soi. Thanks for your recommendation though.

Perfection.

It awakens my soul. Love watching the world through your eyes and how excited you are in every single situation you find the good. I love watching you in Cuba make the best out of every situation. It's admirable.

I love that you've just taught us to be happy about every little thing in life. You know, there's too many reasons out there that God's given us to just not be totally enthralled in everything that's going on in our lives. And I feel like you live that out to the fullest extent each day.

You're cheerful and sunny attitude and just your love for each other makes every other travel vlog pale in comparison. I love your positivity and even though things do not go well in your travels, you're still smiling, you're still laughing and I learned personally that that's the best way to travel. I love your honesty and your positivity because it makes me feel like I know you although I've never met you in person. So thank you for that.

It's also inspired us to be more positive. We love the positivity that you display in all your videos and we so appreciate all the content that you've created.

You inspire me every day to be optimistic and cheerful and I especially love your train bathroom tour or even when you miss a flight and you still have a smiling attitude. You really inspire me and my boyfriend to travel the same way. Thank you so much. Thank you for always inspiring me to be happy and smile more. Thank you so much for reminding all of us that even when times can seem tough, that everything is okay and there's something always to say smile about. Thank you for always staying positive and appreciating your fellow human beings. Is that your enthusiasm in all the videos makes it feel like I'm there along the way with all of your travels and even if I'm just listening, I can tell how much fun you're having. You also have a depth of kindness that you show towards other people and your light just shines so brightly. And that's just such an amazing part of travel, is that you're just giving all your light and shining all your light and beauty in this world and we just really appreciate you. Your positive, carefree attitude when traveling makes us want to step outside of our comfort zone. Thanks for creating amazing travel videos that make us want to go places we've never heard of before. Kara, you have a very special spark that you can see when you meet new people, go to new places, or even have a good meal. And I think if everyone took that on a bit more, then everyone would just be so much more nicer to each other. Thank you for your wonderful videos, the joy and your happiness and every episode.

Do thank you for being so joyful. We know if we were flying that much, we'd be pretty miserable.

Ms. Kara, you are such a light, such a beauty, such a joy to watch.

The fact that you're always smiling, no matter what, no matter the situation, that's inspiring. Keep that up. Felisco Branios.

Discovered your channel while I was having some health problems and it got me through a difficult time in my life. Now I have to say, I would say that I struggle with anxiety, especially going to new places into the unknown. But because of your beautiful, adventurous spirit, I have been able to book my first international flight to Mexico. Figured out that no matter how bad things are, you can always still be positive. And that's just from watching you in your videos. You also taught me that it's okay to be hangry. Dear Kara, happy birthday. You inspire us to smile and travel more. We love to watch your videos and your ED skills are amazing. We're always really excited when there's a new video online and we know we're on a mountain right now, but the only mountains we have in the Netherlands are on Ceiba. Have a nice day. Kisses from us. You are one in a million. You are just a ray of sunshine and bring joy and happiness to absolutely everyone that you meet. Being a full time working musician with depression, sometimes I find it really hard to switch off. And yours and Nate's vlog have really, really helped bring joy and optimism into my life when there have been dark times. So I'm really, really grateful for you being you.

After a long day on shift, I like to relax and see Kara's happy dance on the way to an airport.

Lounge and also those little dance moves that you do in your videos. And I love all those happy dances every time. Find the next delicious thing to eat or you found your way to your next travel destination.

And keep up that happy dance.

I learned to edit from you and I've been making my own travel videos because of you.

You've truly inspired me to become a better video editor by taking your course and to be more giddy when I find sushi in unexpected places like airport land is.

You're one of the most positive people I see on YouTube and boy have you helped me with editing my video. I really loved your course and it helped me a lot on my video editing journey. My only hope is that you create another course with a behind the scene on how to shoot videos.

Thanks for doing all the editing.

I did your video course. It was awesome. We've been watching you since 30,000 subscribers.

Love you made a.

The editing you do is phenomenal.

Hi Kara. Because of your videos, my husband and I have been able to travel to Denver, Portland and Seattle. And this summer we get to go to Bora Bora. Because of you, I learned to edit videos and create my own YouTube channel.

Thank you so much for inspiring me not only to focus on traveling more, but also to become a travel vlogger myself. You have definitely set a high standard for travel quality that I look to as a measuring stick to make my videos better. We are traveling for six months and we have started a vlog because of YouTube.

We are currently in Hanoi, Vietnam and next we are going to Laos.

Happy birthday and I feel so blessed to have met such a kind, selfless and charismatic individual like yourself and so happy to have traveled with you to Italy for the best mentor and eating lots of food in Vancouver and hopefully more travels in the future.

Cheers. Ciao bella.

Buon compliano.

Cara bellissimo. We love you. We miss you. Safe travels. Happy birthday.

Happy birthday, Cara. We love you. Thank you guys and Cara in particular to inspiring us to travel the world and do YouTube vlogs.

Thanks to you, we are now in the hottest Malaysia instead of freezing Moscow.

Keep awesome and most smiling person on YouTube.

You've inspired me in so many different ways. One of the ways is to create my own vlog and inspire others. Just like you've inspired me. Not only have you inspired me to want to travel the world and up my game in video editing, but you've taught me to love black coffee. Thank you. My mom and I will be taking a senior graduation trip for me and we'll be going to Europe for a month and backpacking all throughout there. In order to let you know that I've gotten many of the places I wanted to go from your video, you really encouraged and motivated me to travel myself. So this spring, I'll be studying abroad in Germany.

Well, since you guys have seen so many waterfalls of real kind, I figured I'd take you back to wonderful Las Vegas, Nevada. Happy birthday, Kara.

Hi Kara. I love watching your videos. One time I messaged you on Instagram to get advice on footwear when traveling. Thanks for the suggestion. Happy birthday. Also, you should know I bought the same birks that you have. The ones that wrap around your ankle. I call them my Kara Burks. So you're with me every day whenever it's warm.

Happy Birthday, Kara. From a fellow Nashvillian. And I especially appreciate you, Kara, for doing all the editing and for being way braver than Nate because you face your fears and he just enjoys the experience. Your videos have inspired us to travel to places we never even thought about before and to make better videos of our own travels.

It's even inspired the rest of my family to travel. This summer, my little sister is doing an internship in Asia. She was able to watch her vlogs on places like Cambodia, Nepal and Thailand. She now refers to the place she's working for the summer as 10 minutes away from where Karen Nate stayed. It's helped cut down on some of the anxiety. Happy birthday. After watching your vlogs, I was motivated to take a year to travel before starting college and have since explored seven new countries. Hi Kara. Unintentionally, a girl appears in our YouTube.

Searches in an RV in New Zealand.

You were so nice. And yes, we get cops.

And we started seeing your videos from.

The first one every night.

Happy birthday.

First video we're making. Little freaked out. Your videos really inspire us and we absolutely love seeing your vlogs. You've brought a lot of inspiration and positivity to us.

We are in a long distance relationship and because of your inspiration, we travel a lot more, meet in different countries.

And yeah, so can't wait to see the 100 countries you visit and your future vlogs.

Kara Delight, you are a ray of sunshine. During the last two years, you've taught us how important it is to go to new places and spend time with people who at first seem really different than us, but in fact we're doing just the same.

Plus, you've taught us how to make great guacamole and great caramel sandwiches. Happy birthday, Kara.

Happy birthday. We love you so much. We are so proud of you that you are living your dream. And we want you to know that Your kindness and your joy for life makes everyone that you meet happy. Meet everyone.

We love you to the moon and back.

We love you to the moon and back.

Kara is such a joy to be around. She brings so much happiness and laughter to every moment, whether it's falling off a horse, riding bareback on the farm, or making up dances to NSYNC and Backstreet Boys. I really loved growing up with Kara and she's more like a sister than a cousin to me. Love you, Kara. Happy birthday.

We are here to say happy birthday to someone.

Hi, Kara.

Hey, Kara. We wanted to thank you and Nate for being the main inspiration for us to start our YouTube channel. It was your trip to the Galapagos that inspired us to kick off our first trip that we vlogged in the Galapagos.

Thank you guys for showing lots of awesome places to travel.

Happy birthday. Cut. We are sitting in the Buenos Aires airport ready to fly home after 30 days in South America and Antarctica. None of which we probably would have done without your inspiration. So everything we've done down here, we watched your videos to make plans to do so. Thank you so much. We love you guys and look forward to many more travels with you.

Such an amazing young lady with a beautiful heart and a beautiful smile. Thank you for being such a great friend to one of my most favorite treasures.

The world is a better place for having someone as genuine and joyous as you are. We can all stand to learn more from you each and every day and I'm very excited and proud that you get to show that off for the rest of the world.

Keep smiling because your smile is too pretty. You and your sonnies looked even cuter as well. Evolved, really enjoyed them and watched them for mother and daughter time. Lucky. Bye. You are so cute and beautiful and funny and thank you so much for.

All the work that you do on the vlogs.

I've been watching you guys for years and I adore you. Tara positively impacted me at Travelathon when I finally worked up enough courage to ask if the seat next to her was taken and she said it was free. I think I might have lured in her face how much I love her videos. Luckily, she was really nice about the whole thing and after chatting with her, I had enough confidence to approach the rest of the speakers at travelcon.

This is my treadmill. This is where I come every morning to see you and your bubbly face. And you have helped me lose £60 in the last six months.

I just wanted to stop by and see, say that you and Nate both have inspired my husband and I. So much so that we're actually picking up and selling everything at the end of this year and taking off on our very own travel journey.

Aloha from Hawaii.

Without you and your South Africa videos, we never would have gone to Cape Town last year to go cage diving with great white sharks and get engaged.

We also went on to do the Everest base game trek and a trek through Vietnam. Without Yalls videos and experience and encouragement, we would have never fallen more in love and had a great time. We look forward to more of your videos and happy birthday.

And watching your videos always inspires us to go to new places and also to remain forever grateful for everything that we have.

You've inspired us to start traveling as a family. Thank you. GoPro. Stop capture.

Actually, Miami International Airport, right in front of one of your favorite lounges.

And Nate, you guys are an inspiration to us. A year ago, I would have never expected us to be traveling as much. And it's thanks to you guys. You guys are inspiration. Thank you. Appreciate seeing you rolling up your sleeves, cooking, getting to know all the people, talking with the children and the elderly, and all the beautiful places you have shown us.

Happy birthday, Carol. Thank you. Hope to see you sometime. We wish you all the best. I love your smile. You're always so encouraging.

You've added a number of places to our bucket list. The one that we're scared about is Everest Base Camp, which we hope to do someday. But happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, Carrie. You inspire me to be a better person. You show kindness to others. You find joy in everything you do. And you're always smiling.

I'm just wishing you a happy bustin. Thanking you for sharing your life with us. You've inspired us to travel and I really appreciate that.

You're such a nice person. You're so caring. You're so loving, the way you handle yourself. You had a big impact in our lives. You have inspired me to get up in the morning and go to places early when you don't have people in them like you were in Egypt. And this is something that my alarm clock, my mother, my boyfriend, nobody's been able to get me to do.

So.

Thank you very much.

So I'm a military officer. I've traveled all over the world with my family even. We've had a great time. But unfortunately, I recently suffered a stroke. As I was recovering, I discovered your videos. And it's through your inspiration that I've decided to get better so my family and I can get back out there again and enjoy travel as much as you do.

Hey Kara, Happy birthday.

Yo. You have inspired me so much with your beautiful editing skills and it's inspired me to actually do travel videos myself.

And your bubbly personality inspires us to just be happy every single day.

It's amazing. So happy birthday, Nate. You the man for this and I wish you many, many, many more. Beautiful. Keep editing those amazing videos, baby.

Enjoy.

Peace, Kara.

Happy birthday, Cara. Thanks for giving us the courage to travel the globe. Hey Kara, Happy birthday. Well, I love hanging out here at my local community garden with all of my friends. I certainly want to say thank you for the inspiration you've given me to travel for seven months. So hope you have a great day. Kara, you've inspired us to travel the world a little bit more and here we are in front of the Sagrada Familia. I often quote you saying brodje in Dutch and it has become a joke among my friends to say brugie whenever we don't understand something. So now when I'm older, I think I'm going to be traveling all the time. I really want to go to at least 50 countries. I know you guys may go to 100, which is amazing. I wish I could do that, but I don't know. There's my dog. I give you a shout out to enjoy your birthday to thank you for your postcards. Been following you since japan2vlog2 thank you for being courageous on your shark dive and your bungee jump. Enjoy. I have wanted nothing more but to travel and to be able to turn the quote adventure of a lifetime into a lifetime of adventure just like you guys have. You have had such a huge impact on my life that I even decided to change my college major so that when I graduate I can try to become full time travel journalist just like you guys.

Thank you for inspiring us to travel from Southeast Texas to Southeast Asia. We're currently in Battambang, Cambodia and thanks to you, I've challenged myself to eat some bugs while we're here. So hope you have a great day.

Happy birthday. You are the person in the world that likes coffee the most. Especially when you are in Doha International Business class lounge. It was fantastic. Happy birthday.

Cheers.

Bon voyage.

And your love and respect for your culture shows how beautiful you are as a person. I've been watching you guys since you guys had that strong southern accent which I miss.

My wife first sent me your Maldives video because we're going to Bora Bora for our honeymoon this year and since then I'VE seen all of your videos. We've both taken up vlogging, I've taken up photography, and we've already written out our destination wish list of where we want to adventure to together. And it's all because you've been such an inspiration and you've made it all seem so possible and so feasible. So thank you for that. Thank you for the Russia videos. Your smiling, unflappable approach really made the made the idea real, took the fear factor out for us.

Thank you for inspiring a love of travel. Right now I'm in Istanbul on a solo trip. Yes, I watched all the blogs and thanks for inspiring a love of good coffee. Thank you for all the inspiration that you've shared with our family. Y' all are the ones who finally made us have the discussion of how do we make travel a reality for us. So now we're about to move move into an rv and once we graduate college, we'll both have degrees that allow us to work remotely. And the goal is to travel North America with our dogs and hopefully take them to all 50 states.

It's because of you. This is what I'm doing.

This is my work.

We are in Argentina and we follow all your advices. Next week we are traveling to Turkey and Egypt. And of course we are doing the.

Same as you guys. You are awesome.

Hi Kara, My name is Emma. Happy birthday. I love your videos. Happy birthday, Cara from your home state of Tennessee. Thanks for inspiring all of us on your YouTube channel and your editing skills are so amazing. We hope you have a great birthday.

Kara, we love your videos, especially the one where you were on the plane to Luka because it was exactly like she was a few months later. Thanks for giving me the courage to try new things such as that Pintos place in Barcelona.

Happy birthday, Kara. We just wanted to wish you a happy birthday. And one of the things I really like about you is that you're really positive in any situation. And I want to be more positive when you travel. And what I like about you is that you're really adventurous about training things and we just wanted to wish you happy birthday, Olila. Ha know Cara. Happy birthday, Carol. Dad is my best friend, huh? Yeah. Happy birthday, Cara. Thanks to your beautiful videos, we booked our trip to Italy without kids.

I am only a week or two into discovering you guys and I am almost 100 vlogs.

Binge.

Watching your videos before I moved out here really inspired me to take advantage of the travel opportunities and always keep a good perspective even when things don't necessarily go the right way. You are my inspiration when it comes. Travel Blogger I love your enthusiasm. I love your ever smiling face. Please, please don't change. And may God help you reach your 100 country goal very soon and even beyond. May you see see all the countries in the world. At least those countries that are safe to travel. Bye. Happy Birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday dear Kara. Happy Birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you. You've inspired us all.

Happy birthday to you.

It.
