  • Visit www.squarespace.com/flyingthenest - It's so exciting to be back in Africa (after well over 5 years since our last time touching down in South Africa). We have headed out to a bucket list hotel of ours - the Palace of the Lost City (where they filmed Blended) to relax, have adventures, find the Big 5, but most of all show little Hunter where her Dad grew up.

    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.

    Hunter vision w/ with the backwards binoculars 💀♥️ This is one badass video, the footage was such a wonderful depiction of such a beautiful country, what an amazing experience and to see footage when stephen was a child and then to take hunter is such an incredible gift for parents to offer. You guys were so in your element here like you are so natural everywhere you visit, as a kid i loved anything safari animal etc related, this would have been the dream. The resort was stunning!
    To do this with your parents is so amazing
