    Love the “you don’t have to like it but you just have to try it”! And Hunters face after ❤😂

    I love the effort the Philippines is putting in conservation of their tourist spots. Keep up the great work Phil.

    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!!

    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 have to say that ever since you started travelling with Hunter, your videos are two times more interesting and entertaining. Enjoy the Philippines. This makes me want to go back to my country of birth

    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!

    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
    @travelertrome8449 ปีที่แล้ว +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!!

    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.

  • @nicolettedorfling9788

    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.

    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.

  • @boppermacca9346
    @boppermacca9346 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    When you told Hunter, 'you don't have to like it, but you at least have to try it' , little Koa was staring at that food like 'I'll give it a crack'..
    And Hunter's vocabulary is expanding more , every video you guys put out. This was great to watch

  • @amyhawks370

    I can’t with you guys! You are the sweetest most wholesome family ever! My goals in life!!! What a beautiful beautiful family!!!
    Also when kids are too small for the life jacket flip it upside down and put her legs through the arm holes and buckle her up it leaves her chest and arms free but supports her weight 💪🏼

    OMG, I found your channel about 4 years ago, looking thru all of your vids, seeing you already had 4 years of videos and deciding I could catchup by watching the new day’s video, and if I watched 2-3 historical ones to catch up the whole collection. I just love the progression of your channel and the ease you have expanded your family while still travelling. Hunter is one smart, wide-eyed cookie, and so much humour she has - it’s been so amazing! Seeing Hunter and Koa travelling with you and learning new things together, is just wonderful.
    To get to the point - I can’t believe how fast Hunter is growing and talking, how she tries almost anything to eat and such a relaxed traveller. Something about this video just feels like you’ve “arrived” at that point you wanted to, 8 years ago, when waving goodbye to your families. This is truly one of my favourite TH-cam channels, hoping we can make it to one of the group travels in 2-3 years. Much love and travel safe ❤

    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.

    This place is Gorgeous and I even had my husband watch and he was so Beautiful how clear the water, food, boat ride, how there is so much to do and you can swim and jump off the deck. I want to go here so bad. Hunter & Koa will have so many stories to tell there friends, grandparents, and the adventures they have been on. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

    This is my second favorite video. The first is when you found out you were pregnant with Hunter (which is also my 22 year old daughter’s name). Hunter is just the cutest and is beyond entertaining to watch. I will be moving over to that part of the world and can’t wait to stay there. Love you all!❤

    The beaches there are so pristine, it feels the Instagram filters question their own existence. I would assume that your sunscreen demands a raise for working overtime. Kidding aside, its adorable to see how the kids enjoyed it so much. Philippines has been part of my personal bucketlist and I could only hope for a chance that my dart would land on it.
