Watch our documentary here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuFv4iF8wgg&t=1sOriginally 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. 😊🎥🌎 #travel #travelvlog #alcatraz 0:00 Our biggest fear0:50 Why are we doing this?!3:41 Seeing Alcatraz for the first time4:19 INSIDE Alcatraz (prison tour)5:50 What we are wearing to swim7:29 BEST VPN8:35 MORNING OF THE SWIM12:42 JUMPING IN the San Francisco Bay19:19 Our final thoughts on the swim
