    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.

    Love the "you dont have to like it but you can try it". You and steve have been saying that since before hunter and love that you guys teach her this now.
    Also, Hunter singing made me tear up😢 She's so happy and so precious!!

  • @aairsick
    @aairsick 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Oh my. People wonder about traveling with children and this video answers that question. Some people can’t even take a plane to Grandmas without freaking out about kids traveling and you do THIS! Bravo.

    I’ve heard about this place. Would love to understand the process (and vendors) you used to get to the resort. We would be coming from the US (Chicago area). This looks like a FABULOUS place and an experience not to be missed.

    I cannot thank you enough for taking me to places I’ve never heard of or thought I’d see!! This place was absolutely gorgeous but the true highlight was the singing mermaid 😉 I just admire you all for the wonderful humans you are raising. Or maybe mermaids 🧜‍♀️ 😊

    @Lee-cs3mu 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +21

    So beautiful! This has been my dream trip since seeing it on Kara and Nate's channel but I always thought my kids had to be a bit older. Thanks for showing me I was wrong and I can do this with kids!

    Hunter's first sentence in the morning: let's go to swim 😀🌊🏊 and the Ariel singing 💞 are there sharks close to the beach or is it absolutely safe?

  • @ZoeShears
    @ZoeShears 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

    I absolutely love watching your adventures. The amazing culture you are introducing your children to is amazing. I can't wait till Koa is older and is running around with his sister.

    @travelertrome8449 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

    It is amazing how you guys are in such a stunning location yet Hunter still steals the show. Her personality comes out more and more with each vlog! And I think I am even starting to hear her have an Australian accent? And what a jaw dropping location. Amazing!!

    Awesome video as always. Loved the editing Stephen! The pirate and mermaid scenes were cute and creative! The Philippines has never been on my radar but you certainly opened my eyes to the beauty of that area and now I’m tempted.

  • @sejibee
    @sejibee 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Honestly, I developed a short attention span so I don't usually watch videos for over 15 mins long but this vlog is one of those exceptions. I enjoy every second of this. I always get to watched different Palawan vlogs but this is my first time seeing the house boat so this got me really interested and the fact that you have your cute little kiddos traveling with you made everything perfect. My favorite part was when Hunter was singing 'Part of your World' while his daddy went on diving. Baby Koa is so cute too! You really made their childhood so special and they will forever remember that feeling.

  • @marap4107
    @marap4107 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

    You guys are unbelievable. Idk how you manage to continuously travel with 2 babies and not lose your damn minds. I'd like to see a video on how you prepare for these travels. It's amazing to see how pulled together you guys are. I'd be a hot mess in your shoes hahaha.
