Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter, a traveling family who spent 2020 self-converting a van before moving in full-time to drive around our home country of Australia. We have now completed our lap, said our goodbyes, and resumed full-time travel before we wait for our second baby to arrive.
![แฉ [2/4] 11 ก.ค. 67 ‘ขวัญ อุษามณี’ เผยความจริง 16 ปีที่แล้วเกิดอะไรขึ้น? | GMM25](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/K4pXnUiObbk/mqdefault.jpg)
As a teacher you should start a home schooling program of your own that you can share with other traveling families! Create a curriculum that can be tailored to your lifestyle! Such a vital resource to provide!
Absolutely love this!! Yes❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Brilliant idea 😊
Amazing idea! I would be totally invested!!
Agree, if you’re looking for a school that does what they’re saying, they’re looking for a unicorn. As a homeschooling mom of 4, just homeschool and create your own curriculum
Maybe your next book could be about how to travel with babies and toddlers? You both have so much experience I bet it would be a best seller 😊
+
Yes I would 100% buy this
Ireland, come to Ireland, tour the entire island, you're a wholesome couple with a wholesome family, the kids would love it, yes, I know, it's not exotic , but it's full of hidden beautiful places, wonderful food, very child friendly, safe, cosy, and we would love to have you here, especially the west coast, the beauty of the place is astounding.
I love Ireland and it is so beautiful and the Irish are so friendly. My in-laws live in Ireland and love it there. There is so much to see. It is very under-rated. A RV trip would be amazing with the family. Such a welcoming country.
Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Greenland! Would love to see those travel series😍
yes a travel series in these areas would be amazing!!
Oh Yes!!!
My favorite countries!!! Be so awesome!
Don't forget faroese😊
Homeschool Mom of Many years here. My kids were in a Primary School for a few years, and then we pulled them out to homeschool. They are far more social having been homeschooled, as in Primary school they stuck to communicating with 'their friends', as being homeschooled they go out of their way to communicate and meet new children as we are on the go. It has taught them how to be kind and friendly to everyone (on a safe level of course). PS: my LG Washer/Dryer sings the same song. LOL. Please do Norway!
Totally agree with this! People don’t realize this about homeschooling kids. The most social kids I know are homeschooled.
Exactly
Yes, also their language skills develop more raapidly being exposed to more adults and other areas vs other children still developing those skills. A teacher had told me becos our children were exposed to so many adults is why they are more advanced in their language skills than if they were soley with children still trying to learn. Kids are little sponges. Also, our kids felt very comfortable in different settings which really expanded their horizons, learning and education. If aa family can make it work, it is a real gift for the kids going forward in their lives IMO.
I’d love to see you do a proper road trip in Eastern Canada. The maritimes and Newfoundland and Labrador. I’ve never seen a travel channel series of this part of Canada. Everyone seems to do the west and the Rockies but the east is its own magical place.
That’s also what I was going to say!!
yes and it annoys me when people refer the east coast as Ontario. That's not the east coast of Canada.
I agree! I did a trip to Nfld in 2017 and it was a week of fun and visiting family but you need a proper couple of weeks to do that trip! Even a month would be an amazing amount of time. And the people there are so lovely they would have so much fun showing them their hometowns and I’m sure they would have a place to eat dinner every night 😂
I hope you guys bring back the podcast for a bit before getting back on the road full time! I would love to see a south/Central America series - Mexico and Ecuador specifically
I’m really interested in hearing how you came up with Koa’s name?
I'd love to see you rent a van and travel throughout the French countryside, which is so diverse. There's the cave area in the southwest, the Riviera, the World War II beaches in the north, and Provence. There's the old walled towns, like Rocamadour. I think many Americans (I live in the U.S.) think of France as Paris and maybe the Riviera. But there's so much more.
Would love to see you travel Portugal and Madeira Island it’s SOO beautiful!!!
A roadtrip through the Nordic countries would be so amazing. I would love to see you here in Norway :D I'm sure Craig and Aimee have some experiences to share from their time here in Custard.
Koa is already getting bigger! How sweet🧡
I was curious too, did you sell your old house? Or are renting it out? Did you buy or rent this new house? Maybe it's not our business. Are you selling Couper the van?
Felt like they didn't clear that up at all 🤔
I am just picturing Hunter doing school in so many places 🙂 I am looking forward to it. I can also see Hunter playing school with Koa in a few years.
Your videos give me such happiness! I feel very lucky to see your lives. Thanks for sharing so much.
Great chat … you are great parents and educating Hunter is obviously something that comes natural to you … and all of us … she is thriving … no matter where she is .
Do a roadtrip in The Netherlands :) all the other travel channels only visit Amsterdam, but there is so much more to see. And big plus, you dont have to drive a lot, the country is so small. You can also combine it with Belgium and Luxemburg :) and when in the Netherlands, go to the Efteling themepark!
For the class: I would LOVE to know how to research and plan activities. Where do you find ideas? Are there any specific applications or organizational strategies you use to keep track and plan your days? I really love to travel, but often get overwhelmed when there are so many amazing options to pick between. I would also really love to hear more about traveling with kids. This video was fantastic in that regard :)
Love the catch up guys 🥰 we’re just finishing our 3 month trip around Europe and we’ve met so many families travelling! They’re home schooling and absolutely loving life. Travel opens their eyes so much more ❤
I would love to hear more about how you two plan the attractions/cities you want to visit each country you travel to! I absolutely love this channel and these videos are always full of joy and smiles ❤
Thank you for OUR patience?! Please, you two have been incredibly consistent in releasing videos! I find your lives as interesting as your travels, and I’m sure many others do as well. Listening to you list off the possible destinations for the year makes me so envious - planning a two-week trip to Europe this summer and it’s a huge deal for my family. Kudos for building your life around travel!!
I would love to see a Norway and/or Iceland series! Those countries have been in my bucket list for forever
Try Kinging It while they're off on maternity leave 😊 They are friends with them and have done Norway and are doing it again.
Aww thank you so much for sharing this beautiful journey with us
Whenever we pulled our children out of school to travel, we would get them to write a diary of their holiday as well as include things that they thought were better, worse or just different to their lives back in Australia. We look back on these and it brings back many special memories. As you said, kids learn so much by travelling and I wished we had done more of it instead of waiting until school holidays when things were more crowded and expensive and time limited. One topic I would love to see you cover is how you as TH-camrs plan for your retirement.
Most of your old viewers like me probably have wondered what you did with your old house. It was a cool house. Loved the kitchen. If l remember correctly you rented it out just before you set out on your travels with Cooper. Seems smart to me.
Oh, fyi, Jess. I'm the 2nd youngest of 8. Large families can be a lot of fun. As for parents sanity, well...
I just love the chemistry between you, guys! It's beautiful to watch!
I can’t wait for anything you guys decide! Such a beautiful life!
I like seeing your fun family.
i looove your optimistic perspective on travelling with a family bc i feel like there has been so many negative opinions about travelling full time when you have a family, no doubt it is harder but it can also be rewarding and enriching for your kids! love it, and nowadays theres alot of free education online, lots of free ways for your kids to learn too
You are already homeschooling!! We are a homeschool family and your channel has prompted more conversations and learning than I could ever count! Thank you for all the time and passion you put into it! 💕🙏🏼💕🙏🏼
Did you sell the old house?? Or are you keeping it to rent out?
This was fun! Always love a q&a
I think they just rented it xx
I could've sworn when they were packing to move out that they said they were going to rent it out as an AirBNB so i thought they owned it. Maybe they didn't end up doing that though... ?
I had the same question and I think the ones asked the question meant the same thing 😂
@@sarahbreheny-hood9061That's what I recall too!
That's what I wanted to know too! Then presume this new house is rented?
Thanks for sharing! I've been watching your story for about 5 years now. You've inspired me to start my own channel and to travel more. My family and I are moving to Thailand in July. Thanks again! You guys are the best!
Yes more unique spots. Would love to see more of South East Asia. We just did our honeymoon in Thailand and it was unbelievable so I want to see more of this part of the world!
Hooray!! Let's catch uuuuup. All the best for your sweet little family! 💖💖
I think it will be interesting to share about traveling with your family, especially how you manage the every day to day stuff on the road. So what you told about naps or excursions or travel pram etc will be a great assurance for people who don't travel a lot and then have children! I am sure you are an inspiration to many!
Are you going to have more children? Gosh - who asks that questions to new parents?! Some things are private.
💯
THIS!!!!
Agreed! Annoys me that people ask this, its no one's business!
@@traceypotter7669 yeah seriously people are kinda annoying when they ask that question! I'm so very sure that's their last baby (hopefully)
THIS!!!!!!
OMG I can't believe how people can ask such invasive and personal questions. Let the couple decide for themselves and if they wanna share then go for it. They aren't obligated to tell us how many kids they plan to have.
I look forward to your videos so much. Koa is filling out so much already.
You guys have everything under control.💖🇨🇦🥰
Ya’ll have so much love you may as well have as many kids as you can!
Just did our first big trip, Greek cruise with some time in Venice, as a family of four (almost 3 yr old and 15 mo) and it whooped us. Your comments about roadtripping as a family are right where we like to be. Looking forward to an Austria/Slovenia road trip for our oldests birthday this summer. Great video!
I love everybody involved in Flying the Nest.
Love all your videos but so nice to have a Q&A again! X
Loved your Q&A would love to know if you will be doing anymore podcasts? Definitely love these!!! And need more ❤
Your such a beautiful beautiful couple.
To hear you say Jess that you would have 4 more babies it's lovely to hear especially after what you went through. Xxx
Yes! We would love for you to be in NSW! Let me know when you guys are in Sydney, would love to bring you guys around!
We did a Scenic tour down the Rhine, Moselle. The one thing we really loved, was seeing all the little villages and watching the families camping on the river. We said then a drive tour of Norway/Germany/France would be awesome.
My first video of you was when you were on the Wonder of the sea ship. After that, I was obsessed with you and watched almost all your videos in almost a year. I love you guys and it's so nice that there are four of you. I am looking forward to your next adventures, whether at home or in another country 😊💕
Such great energy! Can feel the love and laughter 😊
Would love to see you guys travel more of Africa and South America! Great update- so excited for you guys. Thanks for creating such wonderful content!
Yes, I loved their vlogs in ZA. It was great they spent as much time as they did since they had family. One of my favorite destinations- the various African countries. I have to admit I also have loved when they do Disney cruise and parks. I'm a big kid and love going to Disney World and Universal Studios and their cruises. Always so friendly, beautifully maintained and so much family fun.
thank you for this fabulous vlog! For a travel series: 1. A month driving around Iceland! (I did & it was breath taking.) 2. Fly over to Greenland & explore (mainly by boat tours), the majestic icebergs & culture. Truly wonderful while also mind blowing.
Yes please do the NSW and vic travel series in a van. Your van series was the absolute best of all you’ve done ❤❤
Maybe rent out Cooper for those wanting to travel around Australia - provide them with basic itineraries and must do's? A great extra source of income that could be managed by family when you are traveling.
They sold it
Norway road trip, I'm with Jess! Also everything else you mention is also interesting, every country, every place have it's unique story. Thank you for honestly sharing all the answers to the questions. 🙂
I would love to see more roadtrip-type trips! I loved when you went to Slovakia - in fact it inspired me so much that we ended up going and following a similar itinerary as you! It was such a great trip and I loved that you were visiting a more off the beaten path place!
For your Masterclass - How do you guys plan one stop to the next continuously? What sites do you use? What deals do you look for? I would love to learn about booking and planning tips! Maybe walking us thru how you start to finish a book? Thanks!
Yes, I’d love to know your travel tips, such as how to choose your accommodation and Waze to ensure you’re getting the best deal. Also, how are you check your hotel room/B&B for bedbugs, etc. and do you sanitize the room.?
I absolutely love you guys! Would love to see y’all go to Greenland for sure! Bali would be cool as well. Thanks for the awesome videos! Cutest family ever.
Germany! As an Aussie living here, I can say it is underrated compared to other parts of Europe. Great rivers, the alps, the Baltic Sea and fabulous food. Travel tip - Watch out for flight prices in September with the Rugby World Cup in UK, Ireland and France.
Hunter and I have the same birthday! I hope she has a great birthday this week. She is just the cutest! Congratulations on the new baby!
🎈Happy Birthday to You! 🎉
Hii Jess and thank youu soo much for sharing ur lives with ur babies I enjoy your vids soo much. I can’t wait to see the travel vids with koa and hunter tigether
By the way, you two do so well with kids, you should have as many as you want!!
I am so excited because I just received your book in the mail today. Cannot wait to read it to my new Great Granddaughter...❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey guys.
I’m in rural QLD, applied for a ‘first passport’ 2 weeks ago and received it today. I was told that the wait time is 3 to 6 months but it seems thats for passport renewals and not new passports. Super quick. Hope that helps with your plans while you are waiting for babies new passport. Big love and hugs to you all.
I got my passport in 2 days and then 3 more days for it to arrive. I was told it would take over 6 weeks.
Looking forward to future travels 😊 have always enjoyed the content of this channel 😊
Could you guys do Nova Scotia? Hope your Koa nesting time is going well! 🥰
YES! I’d love to see an in-depth series on all the Maritime Provinces! Each is so unique ~ that would be amazing! 😊
Of definitely would
Love that!
There's so much I would like to ask you!
1 how have you potty trained Hunter while traveling?
2 how do you organize your luggage passing from hawii to Canada 😅 so many clothes!!
3 how do you manage tantrum during a travel.. even if Humter seems to be the sweetest girl!
Thank you guys for all your beautiful videos! ❤
100% support home education. More individualised and can be experiential and in the real world with more time for play which is how kids learn best. Homeschoolers i met whose family had active lives involved in community and life, have better social and emotional understanding than schooled peoole. Might be just good parenting. But with good parenting kids can be much better adjusted. Your kids wont be missing out, they'll be having the best adventures! ❤
Thank you so much. 💓 love your family..Best wishes for your family ❤❤❤
Yes, solo travel.........enjoy your beautiful babies!
Come to Bangkok! We’d love to meet you and show you around!!
Australian is different state to state. Prep in Queensland (equivalent to kindy) is compulsory before moving into year 1. Also the age in which children start school varies state to state. There are home school programs that you can register with that help with the level they integrate back into if doing in and out schooling like you mentioned.
We have a school that is very flexible with long travel and we love it.
Hope you guys go back to Turkey! Sending you both lots of blessings for ur beautiful family!
Learnt a lot as I am a newer viewer. Kinging-It are currently driving thru Norway. You both sound like great parents.
i have been watching for 1y+ love there vids i suggest binging there older videos van life to now or internationnal travel to now are great chapters of the flying the nest videos i personally started watching during near the end of van life
Do you have any plans for future books? I’d also love to see you guys do Antartica!
Such an inspiring family ❤
Just adore you guys and your beautiful family!❤
I am about to head out on my longest road trip ever across the US in my van and you have been HUGE inspiration to me!! Loved this video!! Regardless of where this new adventure takes you I can’t wait to see it!!
If you go to Texas, don't miss the Hillcountry, like Fredericksburg, Kerville and so much tubing aand rafting on the beaauutiful rivers of the Comal and Guadalupe in New Braunfels, Tx. I fell in love with those places. Rt 66 is pretty boring, which many seem to do, but it is no longer a main highway and therefore a lot of abandoned buildings, etc. San Antonio and Austin are also fantastic hi-lights.
PS Don't miss New Mexico and Santa Fe and Taos. Also the most spectacular sunsets in NM u will ever see over the unique terrain and flat top moutains and spikes, along with the petrified Forest, Painted Dessert, Navajo reservation and in Colorado the Durango river, Estes Park, Trail Ridge Rd and Mesa Verde- The Cliff dwellers aand their habitat and ruins dating back 3000 yrs and never ever miss the Grand Canyon in Arizona as it s surreal. ;)
I am loving follow you guys I have discovered this channel a few weeks ago and I loving the way you look the life like a traveler with kids so light and positive. Thanks you to share your life with us.... Kisses and hugges from Brazil.
Love this! thank you for answering all those questions! I love Stephens idea of making a "travel masterclass". As someone who wants to get into travelling more (as well as hopefully turn it into a career), that would be amazing. Some questions I'd be interested in hearing would be:
- I hear the number one key thing when travelling overseas to ensure you're not a target for pick pocketers etc is to "blend in"....any tips for doing that as a photographer/content creator needing to carry DSLR cameras and gear?
- Do you plan your videos and shots in advance or do you wing it?
- How do you guys plan long trips that are 2+months long? do you plan and book everything in advance or plan as you go?
- How to approach brands or tourism boards to work with them
- Travel hacking for Australians (I feel like there's so much about this for people in the US, but australia has a different set of credit cards, and deals to work with so would love to know more about what we can do)
- List of "must have" things to bring for content creators while travelling
I hope this wasn't too long! thank you and can't wait to see what you guys get up to with precious Koa as you wait for his passport. Crazy that they make little babies get one!! 🤣
Yes! Come and travel through Norway🤩
miss hearing the podcast!! please do some episodes soon in the future 😊❤
The very first vlog I watched was when you guys went on the Orient Express. Fell in love with your channell and haven't looked back. I would love more transport adventures! Cruises, trains, vans. Keep up the great work! Your amazing 💙💜💙💜 xx
LOVE to see you do Egypt and Moracco
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - you guys really should do a series of tour/travel guide books with a section in each about traveling with children to the area.
Would love for you guys to do a family-friendly expedition at some point!!😍
As a homeschool mom of 4 your should definitely just full on homeschool, you can do co ops that’s are flexible and then you can create the schedule/curriculum that works for you. Finding a school that values travel half of the year and then school another half of it is like finding a unicorn. You’ll have way more freedom if you just homeschool
Ahh so excited for you guys to be back in the UK in September! You need to check out Dorset and Devon… I’m happy to be your tour guide!! 🙌🏻 Van trip through Norway is at the top of my travel bucket list too! 🥰
I am with Jess road trip through Scandinavian!!!thats top of my bucket list.
Oh please do a camper around Norway! I can't fly but if I could it would be my first choice. And ps we love the videos of y'all at home too. The way you each surprise each other with gifts and food for holidays is so fun. Thanks for the always amazing videos.
In New Zealand you can go to hospital, as a Australian they have a exchange hospital. So you can go free.
Would definitly love to see travel series of Norway 🫶🏻
Great to see your little family again, and catch up on news and answer some of the questions. How about some of the Central American countries for a trip? How's your Spanish? lol, just don't go in hurricane season.
I'd definitely like to see a Norway road trip. I'm of the opinion that Norway is the most beautiful country on the planet.
It would also be cool to see you go back to the Netherlands. Last time you only visited Amsterdam, and I reckon you would love other places like Rotterdam, The Hague, Haarlem, Keukenhof botanical garden, Zwolle, and Giethoorn.
Love watching you two the chemistry between u both is sooooo gorgeous such a great honest loving family.
Yes travel local in your country in different vans/RV'S etc
The nc500 in northern part of Scotland would suit your van life itch. You should also do Western Isles, Orkney, Shetland
Am giggling because of my momentary confusion: I couldn’t remember starting a wash. Took me a moment to realize it was yours!
Yes I'd love more camper van content around the world!! Norway would be amazing 😍 I'd also love to see a US campervan roadtrip, maybe in a national park :) You should also look into Tenerife and the other canary islands, the nature there is so diverse and they have a very nice climate all year around.
Can you make a video about the dark side of travelling? What went wrong or not the way you imagined. What would you do differently next time etc.? In your opinion, what were the most dangerous places you've been to or is there a place you definitely don't want to go back to? If you are going to Norway I can recommend Tromsø! Should you extend the trip to Sweden... Lysekil is a beautiful place straight out of the Ikea catalogue. The so-called Inlandsbanan is a train that runs 1400 km through Sweden. - The train stops at regular intervals, all passengers disembark and take a short cake and coffee break. It's also worth an experience.
During the Corona Pandemic I also learned to love and appreciate my home country Austria, so I would recommend it. Smaller countries like Liechtenstein or Luxembourg would certainly also be interesting. In general, I would be most happy about European travel vlogs. In the UK there are certainly many small, not so well-known beautiful places (Cotswolds...) you can travel if you are there. - I also watch the videos of 'Suitcase monkey' who lives in London.
Very informative video for young families with children 🤗👍Good job guys 👏Thanks for sharing and keep going 😁
Norway! You are so welcome :D
