I’m the child of of travelers. My first international trip was across Mexico when I was 6 months old. I so look forward to seeing you 2 share the world with your little nester! If my parents were able to do it back in 1969, you should have zero worries in 2020! Give your baby the sense of wanderlust! Let them experience that our differences make us all unique, but at the core we all the same, Many blessings to you 2, and baby nester is gonna have a beautiful life!
When you guys are home, could you also do videos with travel tips? ie: planning tips, saving, tips for vlogging/photography, how to travel for cheap, finding accommodation/flights/food etc!
Ahh this makes us so happy that so many of you are interested in these kinds of videos :) We were thinking once I can not fly anymore while waiting for the little baby to come we could film a bunch of these videos to give you all advice :)
@@flyingthenest This would be great! I'd love things like makeup tips from you, Jess, as well (my cosmetics always break or spill in travel somehow) and packing tips too! All the little hacks! Would love a series on this!
my boyfriend and I found yall just this year after talking about going to iceland- we found your iceland series and are in love with yall since!!!! very excited for the year to come and thank you for making quality travel content its very admirable!! all the love 🥰
Honestly, I love you two so much, I could literally watch you peel carrots! Can't wait for baby documentation! Just do what feels right and good. Don't put any stress on yourself! We will be here regardless.
Once you guys have more time at home, could you do a video on how you color grade your videos and photos? It’s always a mystery to me in finalcut and the way you do yours is beautiful. And I’m so happy for you two for the baby, you guys are rays of sunshine and will show this little human so much of the world.
It's Aimee. I just find myself smiling at the screen when you guys talk about BABY!! Man i'm still so shocked and happy for you both! It makes me the happiest to know you're going to be a little family soon!!
I'm an only child & the best thing my parents ever did was let me tag along on all their travels. I truly believe exploring the world is one of the most important things for a child's development and exposure to a vast array of cultures is so necessary to cultivate self awareness and a sense of wonder. All the best for your new chapter! x
I'd love to hear about how you started this channel and afforded it all in the beggining? did you guys save up lots of money so you could just travel? do you like with your parents or own a place that you rent out?
I think they did a video about this a while ago! They both worked full-time and then used the money the saved for a year worth of travel, and then through their vlogging and youtube channel they were able to develop sponsorships and deals with different organizations to help fund flights, hotels, etc to different destinations! Not sure which video where they discuss this 😊
Would love some new Australia content while you're waiting for the baby!! Cant wait to watch this chapter and will definitely be looking into expeditions!!
@@flyingthenest 20 weeks? My wife is 20 weeks along with our second one! When is your due date? Hers is May 28. Maybe our babies will be birthday mates. Ha!
One last thing, you've come so far as creators. The first video I saw of yours was back from your days living in Surrey. It was you eating Canadian snacks. Now your videos are travel channel worthy. You've done so well for yourselves. As a Vancouverite, I love that you wear your Canada sweat shirt all over the place, and that Canada has a place in your heart. I hope you do a meet up when you come back with the baby.
I personally would love to see you guys travel Western Australia for baby's first 12 months of life. Not just that but babies can't get their MMR vaccine until 12 months old and it is so important that he/she is fully vaccinated before international travel. Please do vlogs and showcase the beauty of Western Australia. You could even make a second channel 'Growing The Nest' and do family vlogs as well. It's completely up to you guys. Xx
I would love to see them travel around Western Australia for a year and watch them adjust to parenting for that first bit. You're also right about the MMR vaccine and it's definitely important that baby gets that as soon as they are old enough before any travel.
Please just enjoy it. We had one. She's grown and now we're grandparents. Our grandson is the BEST THING EVER! But, I promise you, these months and years coming are going to be the BEST of your life.
Hi guys! First if all congrats! Second, I love your channel, I have been following you for ages now. I am an expecting mum myself (34 weeks today!), I would like to say that I would be very glad to see a nice channel like yours doing some content on travelling with a baby. I have look for such content and there is no many bloggers that do this, which is a pity. I think there is a lot of people like us, that loves travel and think that having a baby does not have to mean that you have to stop doing what you are really passionate about :) So, good luck in this new chapter, all the best!
We love traveling too and we just got back from Bosnia (after watching so many videos including yours) with our 9 month old. She has already been on 10 flights starting from 3 months of age! I was always so scared but it actually wasn’t hard as we were expecting. I’m really excited to see you guys traveling with a baby!
I would love to see you guys vlog Western Australia. End of the day I respect your decisions and you seem like you're both going to be lovely parents but waiting until baby is 12 months old before travelling internationally again is your safest bet. You'll be adjusting as new parents, babies need full time care and pregnancy takes so much out of you. You can't get certain vaccines until 12 months old and it's so important that baby is fully vaccinated and has their first year to build that immunity before travel. There are many beautiful places to see in Western Australia. Rottnest, Broome, Dunsborough, Margaret River, Albany, Exmouth, Busselton, Pemberton, Jurien Bay, Wave Rock, Pink Lake, The Pinnacles, Swan Valley, Ngilgi Cave, Cape Leeuwin, Kings Park and Botanic Gardens, Elizabeth Quay. There are so many options. Many people probably haven't been to Western Australia and would love to see these places. Baby's first Christmas could be a hot Aussie Summer one. If I had a baby on the way I would personally take 12 to 15 months off of international travel but it's completely up to you guys. Just know many people will still watch you travel Western Australia and I'd love to see you three be in vlogs once baby is here vlogging parenting life. You could even make a second channel to document as a family as well. 💕
@@flyingthenest BTW It's so great to hear you say Israel and not Palestine... I know It's been a year and a half but we appreciate that very much when when you guys consciously don't mention Palestine keep sharing your content.
Congratulations on the pregnancy! We subscribed to your channel a few months ago and enjoy your “48-hour” videos. We are now empty nesters. Heading to the Baltic this summer and then flying to Lisbon for a few days to try that Sangria you two we’re enjoying in your Lisbon video. You are a lovely couple and no doubt will be wonderful parents.
The thing about having kids is things are unpredictable. I think it's a good idea you got all your study, etc out the way first. 💕 I am currently a SAHM new mum and I'm studying a bachelor of Food and Nutrition online with LaTrobe University through Open Universities so it's awesome I can study online, be a parent and travel if I wish to but it's hard. My husband works full-time and I plan on going back to work once our baby older. I studied personal training and fitness courses and I also did a diploma in Business at TAFE when I was 21 but I'm only just doing uni now and have two years of study left. I worked in hospitality and also did personal training jobs for years to help my husband and I save for our trips. As a parent who loves travelling I do think waiting until a baby is 12 months old is sensible. I mean that from a good place, kids can't get their MMR vaccine until 12 months old and my husband and I make sure we are fully vaccinated and so is our daughter before making international travel so we are waiting until a couple months after our daughter's first birthday so she can get all her vaccines. I'm 27 and my husband is 29 and we recently became parents to our almost 5-month old girl. My husband and I met though mutual close friends when I was 20 and he was 22. I went overseas for the first time when I was 21 and my boyfriend and I went to Japan for three weeks. Now we have been together several years and married for three years. We have been all around Australia, including The Great Barrier reef, and we have in order been to Japan, Fiji, USA, Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Italy, Germany, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Norway, Hungary and most recently Austria. My husband and I stopped travelling four months before I got pregnant as we came home to Australia to set up. I also know flying frequently can be bad for a pregnancy so we wanted to postpone travel before pregnancy even happened but that is just what we wanted to do. As long as you're monitoring the situation it's up to you. I came off birth control a month after coming back to Australia and My husband and I started to try for a baby and three months later I was pregnant. We haven't travelled overseas since and she is approaching 5 months old and we still feel she is too young. We are planning our travels and saving to go again after her first birthday and plan to keep travelling until she is four when we will come back and enroll her in pre-primary. We own the house my husband and I live in and so we will likely rent it out and store away our belonging with family, and insure it all. My husband also has a full-time job and a side job doing a professional graphic design and photography business that is helping us save. Once our little girl is two and my studies are done I plan to go back to work full-time or part-time and start my own personal training and nutrional advice business as well as working a regular job until my business grows. We want to travel while we can before our daughter starts school as we want our daughter to have travel and cultural experiences from around the world but we want her to have a normal and steady childhood in school too. Kids really change a lot of things. We are planning on going back to the USA and Canada around October for a couple months. Our daughter is named Rosalie Grace Miller but we call her Rosie for short. 💕 She was born August 25th, 2019 three days before her due date and my labour only lasted three hours and she was born weighing 7 pounds, 3 ounces at 7:33am. 😂
Happy 2020 guys.. Big thanks for making our travels so much easier. I’m throwing it out there to visit the Cook Islands, before Bub born. I’ve never been but I’d like to see your videos. Good luck :)
Sounds like a great plan Jess & Steve. I agree, you guys deserve to lay on beach and relax before your new busy life starts as parents. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome adventures 🥰
I'd love to see some South Pacific videos from you guys! My dad did most of his graduate work in Fiji and Tahiti and I've been brought up listening to all his stories from there! Would love to see your take!!
While you're in Perth with the baby, why not try to show us a bit of that part of Australia? Not everyone gets to go to that part of the world, so it would be nice to see some of it.
Welcome to Canada! I grew up in Alberta and now live in Vancouver, so Banff and Jasper are the places of my youth (hiking and skiing). My last five trips have been to Asia and your series on Myanmar has inspired me to go there this year. Congrats on the growing family! Love your videos. You're youthful enthusiasm Is inspiring. Cheers!
I have been with you guys since Hawaii and I absolutely love love l9ve your at home vlogs! I love Chleo and Stephen's parents! Jess I loved when you guys lived with your brothers and their dogs. I am so looking forward to the at home vlogs.
I’d love to see some of Perth/WA while you’re at home with the little one. But really, I subscribed because I like you guys, for you, bonus that you travel and I love that too, so whatever you choose to vlog will be interesting IMO. Also, woo hoo, can’t wait for the Budapest video!!!
Soo inspiring that you are going to travel with your baby. Most of the people, actually all people, think that if a baby is there you have to stop travelling. I am 27 and going to start travelling the world in 3 or 4 years and I was scared not being able to do that, because I want also having kids the next years. It makes me more calm and believing that it´s going to happen if I want. Great Q&A. Love you guys, you are awesome
I cant wait to see your family vlogs back at home in Aus!!! I've been following you guys for YEARS and I used to love your laid back home vlogs :) so excited for you both!! xx
Ahhh, Jasper. We checked in at the same hotel 1am, total darkness. Our train was 12 hours late. The next morning we opened the curtains to the most spectacular view ever. Lake, snow topped mountains, birds flying, green grass, hanging baskets of multicoloured flowers, elk roaming free. Heaven. Thx for bringing back these wonderful memories. I love Canada! 🇨🇦
You’ll find your way as parents. Just know you take it one day at a time. Enjoy it, time flies. 9m pregnant with my 3rd and it all goes fast. Memorize how baby kicks feel, you forget fast. Take little day trips with baby and share that. There are probably a lot of little adventures near home. And everything takes in new meaning with a baby.
Happy New Year! Please make sure to check out countries with current measles outbreaks in the Pacific! And the Phillipines is rife with measles so make sure bub is fully vaccinated before taking him/her :) all the best!!
I’d recommend you look at getting a belly band too wear on flights specifically to help protect bub from the radiation etc. it’s amazing how much is on flights and you never know what it’s effects are. I used Belly Armour’s band through my pregnancy, it’s super comfy :)
I think documenting your baby growing up will be so special. As well as experiencing the world growing up. Completely relate to going home for a week and already itching to go on the road again also!
OMG GUYS!!! So as I’ve commented on your previous videos I work as a travel agent... anyway a customer of mine suggested I watch your videos and I was like OMG IVE BEEN FOLLOWING THEM FOR AGES! And anyway we pretty much just bonded over you guys 😊
Hi guys, living in Canada I've been following you for a little while now. I love what you do and opened up the world to us. Congratulations on your baby news, all the best. It would be great to see you travelling around Australia, while the baby is small.
I hope you plan the next 9 months in advance just in case you get caught out. Most airlines will not let you fly after week 37 of pregnancy, or week 32 if you're pregnant with twins or more babies.
It's fun to watch your journey and even more fun to witness a couple take the next step and start a new chapter in their lives as a family. Not everyone is so lucky, so enjoy every step and every second of it. You should try Central America! The summer is starting here, best wishes and safe travels.
Happy New Year! I came across your site towards the end of last year when I was researching things to do in Queenstown and have been following ever since (and gone back and watched a lot of your old posts too) I love your vlogs, such beautiful cinematography! You guys are so talented! I look forward to watching your 2020 adventures!
Super happy to hear that you will continue traveling once the baby arrives. And yes, of course I would like to see the series with a newborn! Watching puppies, babies ( especially puppies and babies together lol) and of course travel is how I relax after stressful day at work. So please, bring it on! Seeing you in Hawaii would be pretty awesome as that's my home right now. Highly recommend heading to Kauai and exploring Na Pali Coast (either hiking or boating), just did it and it is by far my top experience in all of the Hawaiian Islands. Fiji and French Polynesia ain't too shabby either, always wanted to travel there so please take me along. Cheers!
Hey guys... this is my 1st comment as a subscriber. I’ve been watching for about 7 months now but I don’t know how I missed your Philippines vlogs?! Anyways I’m super happy for you two to bring a new baby into the world! I know that travel is one of the best things in the world! The baby will be so culturally sensitive as he/she gets older! So awesome! I’ll be watching those Philippines vlogs right now!! And I look forward to seeing your reaction bringing the new baby to the Philippines... our culture love children and you’ll be so taken care of!! Will be watching from California and hope to join one of your expeditions one day!!
12 years: my 2 cents: I've met my australian gf after 12 years of only texting. And facetiming in may for the first time. And it turned out that these 12 years made us understand each other like I've always lived just around the corner from her. Have a great new year! Greetings from the far north of Germany! (Yes: we're crazy to try this!)
I from Australia but i barely see my own country so why not have one here? Like I've been to Sydney and brissy, gold cost but nothing else like the trip in Victoria you guys took it looked amazing please think about it and of course we would like home vlogs ❤️
Great video, honest and happy, please dont plan your life out too much, no matter what you think about being a parent it's going to be different, you will be different people once the wee one is born, be prepared to change, wishing you all the best with 2020
Wow i am very happy that you liked PHilippines the most. So proud to be a Filipino. Jessica on your third trimester don’t fly for too long. Is dangerous for blood clots . Happen to me. Good thing was only superficial. Take care guys😘
Happy New Year! Thank you for making these videos so much fun to watch! My question is will you be travelling to and documenting the southern portion of the Americas (Latin America including the Caribbean, Central and South America and any part of the continent of Africa?
Ah you guys are similar to my husband and I! We were together all of our 20's and had our first baby when we hit 30's. Traveling with a baby is actually so fun! We traveled lots before the baby and our favourite trips have been post kids.
Make sure you get your flu and whooping cough shots. 💕 It might be a good idea to wait until baby is 6 or 12 months old before travelling again just so baby is vaccinated and has an immune system and you need time to adjust. You can't get the MMR vaccine until 12 months and baby will definitely need that. 💕 You guys are great about parenting and will work everything out. I'm 23 and unsure about having kids but maybe someday. I think 30 is a good age as you navigate through your 20's. I so badly want to travel. I have a broken leg atm. I broke it a month ago ago so it's not as bad but I'm getting better. I'm still on sick leave atm and not going anywhere 😂 Once I'm healed I am just going to be working and starting my diploma at TAFE in March, considering uni, looking to travel to Japan, Europe, USA and Canada, Fiji, Vietnam and The Netherlands. I would love to see Fiji as I want to travel there eventually. When baby is older will you be doing online school or would you prefer that he/she settle and attend a normal school life and just travel once a year? I'd love to see a week by week pregnancy update, possibly a baby shower video and when bub is here a Week In The Life of New Parents? 😊 💕 Good luck. I've been subscribed since 2015 xx
Would loovvve if you could do a quick video on what to pack e.g. clothes, everyday items based on the season you're travelling in! I find it so hard to figure out how cold it is overseas and what clothes to wear in March when its turning into Spring in Europe! (Plus you can use footage from all of your past videos and run through different options!)
So excited for you both and your smart planning !!! And SO happy you will travel with your child, they will be so lucky and thankful for those awesome experiences !!! Take care and thank you for sharing all of your awesome adventures !!! Definitely vlog your at-home time, and think Hawaii is an awesome stop on the way home, it is my favorite place and very pregnancy-friendly !!!
St Lucia is a nice island to visit in the Carribean or Gibraltar is nice place to visit it's warm there I think those places are safe for pregnant women. You'll have to assess the safety on that but I'm pretty sure it's ok.
Guys, love the vid! Fellow Aussie here, please travel our beautiful country in the more remote areas. Our tourism is really struggling with these fires and your reach will help improve this.
I'm going to Fiji in August, maybe I'll see you there? :) I would love to see videos of your life back home once the baby has arrived. Also, I would love for you to make a video about planning a trip, how to decide where and when to go, where to stay and eat and what to do. I enjoy watching your videos, lots of love!
I've watched you guys off & on for the past year idk why I didn't subscribe? Thanks to The Way Away for the recommendation & I finally subscribed and cannot wait to be part of your new chapter 😊
Stay safe and good luck with baby girl. Make sure you follow the full Australian vaccine schedule. Your baby will definitely need a Measles Mumps Rubella vaccine and that isn't given until 12 months old so you will need to be extremely cautious when travelling. Xx
I wish you a wonderful 2020!! I love your videos. For South Pacific suggestions, it would be nice if you’d go to French Polynesia, in particular Bora Bora and Rangiroa. I would love to see those videos!
80 countries is insane! That's amazing! Congrats guys! Your success is 100% because you are both such lovely people. Wishing you all the best for the new year!
I'm going to Bali in september for 4 months. I would love to see you explore this beautiful island and maybe the surrounding islands (Lombok, Gili Islands) as well! Wish you all the best and lots of travels this year!!
Congratulations, traveling with a baby is so crazy fun. They are so portable. Only thing is to focus on things like teething rings, holistic ear drops, and proper carrier's. Congratulations again to your Lil baby.
Happy new year. I love your blog and congratulations with your up and coming bundle of joy. We really need more tips on people travelling with babies and young children. We have recently traveled through Europe with our 1 yr old and 4 yr old with planes trains boats and buses and all. It is was my husbands first time travelling abroad and it was amazing to have the kids with us despite reservations that people had with us having no help on our trip. Everything is possible even with kids in tow as long as you planned well and play to the tune of your child needs and likes. Stay healthy and keep well.
it is so ironic that i am watching this in January 2021, i have seen all your new vlogs about baby hunter and when i look at this video, you all had such different plans and i kinda feel bad that none of your plans worked about travelling with hunter i hope all three have a great new year
I would definitely love to see weekly vlogs as new parents staying at home! You could even use your time at home if you’re feeling restless to be tourists in your own area and show us things to do around there! 💛
Dear future parents: I have been following both of you for sometime and I like what and how you present your travels. Being future parents, there is only ONE thing that matters when the baby is born. Baby is first, first and first. Never give up, Never give up, Never give up. I do want to ask you about your travels, but now I cannot ask you these questions. I am hoping to do so in the near future. Sincerely, Michael Millán
As always, an incredible video, even if it's just a Q&A. I just want to thank you for the last years and am looking forward to everything that's to come with you two!
Happy New Year Stephen and Jess! I'm so looking forward to your 2020 adventures; to of course, include, your precious darlin'! Thank you for igniting my travel passion! Much love!
I'm a new subscriber, so not sure if you've done this. But you should totally do a travel vlog of your home town! Australia is already an amazing country I'd love to see what you would do for fun in Perth and it would be easy to do with your little one!
My heart is full when I learned that Jess’ favorite country is the Philippines ♥️ Looking forward to see you both in person here in the Philippines. Happy 2020 ♥️ come visit us again guys. Get well soon Jess 😘
You look wonderful Jess! Sorry about your cold... eat lots of chicken soup, and I always found for some strange reason, Miso soup makes my sore throat feel better!! Oh and PS... I think I've sent my idea to you before, maybe you could visit Guam... There's a LOT of history there and sights to see, and it is safe since it's where America's day begins, so basically, you'll be in the U.S. and of course, the sunsets are like no other in the world!! I was born there, and was never able to go back due to cost, so selfishly, I'd love to see it through your eyes. Thank you for all you do!! And good luck with the pregnancy! Can't wait to see the baby "bird."
I would love to still see when you home with the baby around Australia! I have 2 kids and since the youngest was 2 we take them away every year for 3 weeks to Europe some place different we want then to grow up understanding different cultures and people then where we are from in Canada. People think we are crazy take kids on long flights and different places but you just make it work and it’s amazing memories we have with them. I can’t even imagine how amazing it will be when you start traveling with your little one ❤️
We're a bit like you guys. Shared a life together, almost 20 years, before the kids came along. We weren't able to get back on the road till after the first one was older than 12 months but we did get back on the road. Travelling with kids is like seeing places for the first time again. It is better, it is different, and it can be challenging. But it is oh so rewarding. Now we have a 9 year old that can tick off her favourite things in a number of countries and a 6 year old that demands every single day that we go back to Japan again. Every single day. And recording it all on video is the best. I wish we had more than just a few blurry slides from when I was a kid but our kids will hopefully have something they can treasure when they're older. 😃 Love your work. Happy New Year!!!
I think you guys are in a unique position to vlog about traveling with a baby/toddler. Many couples assume that once they have a baby, their traveling days are over. But what if you show parents how they can still travel but also bring baby/toddler along. This includes items that are (and are not) needed to make the trip easier and what are things to consider that may not be obvious. You can find an entirely new sponsor niche! Congrats and best of luck with all of your future endeavors!
I’m the child of of travelers. My first international trip was across Mexico when I was 6 months old.
I so look forward to seeing you 2 share the world with your little nester!
If my parents were able to do it back in 1969, you should have zero worries in 2020!
Give your baby the sense of wanderlust! Let them experience that our differences make us all unique, but at the core we all the same,
Many blessings to you 2, and baby nester is gonna have a beautiful life!
Ahh we love this !!!
When you guys are home, could you also do videos with travel tips? ie: planning tips, saving, tips for vlogging/photography, how to travel for cheap, finding accommodation/flights/food etc!
I second that
@@ketkib7567 I third that!
😍😍
Ahh this makes us so happy that so many of you are interested in these kinds of videos :) We were thinking once I can not fly anymore while waiting for the little baby to come we could film a bunch of these videos to give you all advice :)
@@flyingthenest This would be great! I'd love things like makeup tips from you, Jess, as well (my cosmetics always break or spill in travel somehow) and packing tips too! All the little hacks! Would love a series on this!
Happy New Year everybody! Thanks for all your support in 2019 and cannot wait to see what 2020 brings :)
looking forward to it all :)
YES, 2020 will be a great year and I hope you guys have a wonderful year!!
my boyfriend and I found yall just this year after talking about going to iceland- we found your iceland series and are in love with yall since!!!! very excited for the year to come and thank you for making quality travel content its very admirable!! all the love 🥰
Happy New Decade to you too!
Warm countries:
Greece India Egypt Spain Italy Turkey NYC
Athens
When you’re home filming, can you go around your area? Things that are normal to you, that if someone came there, could visit.
just what I was going to say, show their area for a tourist point of view
Yes please to this! Thought that too.
Same thought! Just because it would be normal to you, doesn't mean it's normal to us. :)
Yes, while you’re waiting for the baby to come, you can still drive places. It’d be great to see the regular and off the beaten path places to visit.
This is an awesome idea :D how you watch life is like in Perth :)
I see a couple of playlists: Feathering the Nest (while you're home waiting for the baby) and Filling the Nest (Once baby has arrived.)
Sandra Jewitt // ooooohhh love it
don't forget:
sleep-depraved in the nest
throwing up on bird mommy
pooping into the nest
haha I love this!
Honestly, I love you two so much, I could literally watch you peel carrots! Can't wait for baby documentation! Just do what feels right and good. Don't put any stress on yourself! We will be here regardless.
hahaha I love this comment so much! You are amazing :D
Agreed!
Once you guys have more time at home, could you do a video on how you color grade your videos and photos? It’s always a mystery to me in finalcut and the way you do yours is beautiful. And I’m so happy for you two for the baby, you guys are rays of sunshine and will show this little human so much of the world.
It's Aimee.
I just find myself smiling at the screen when you guys talk about BABY!! Man i'm still so shocked and happy for you both! It makes me the happiest to know you're going to be a little family soon!!

@@meganl751 You got it Megan!! One day I am sure we can sit down and do a full indepth video on how Flying The Nest came to be :)
Would love some new Australia content while you're waiting for the baby!! Cant wait to watch this chapter and will definitely be looking into expeditions!!
Yes totally agree!!
I’m so looking forward to seeing the baby. I can’t believe you’re at 20 weeks already.
It has gone by SOOOO fast!!
@@flyingthenest 20 weeks? My wife is 20 weeks along with our second one! When is your due date? Hers is May 28. Maybe our babies will be birthday mates. Ha!
One last thing, you've come so far as creators. The first video I saw of yours was back from your days living in Surrey. It was you eating Canadian snacks. Now your videos are travel channel worthy. You've done so well for yourselves. As a Vancouverite, I love that you wear your Canada sweat shirt all over the place, and that Canada has a place in your heart. I hope you do a meet up when you come back with the baby.
I personally would love to see you guys travel Western Australia for baby's first 12 months of life. Not just that but babies can't get their MMR vaccine until 12 months old and it is so important that he/she is fully vaccinated before international travel. Please do vlogs and showcase the beauty of Western Australia. You could even make a second channel 'Growing The Nest' and do family vlogs as well. It's completely up to you guys. Xx
I would love to see them travel around Western Australia for a year and watch them adjust to parenting for that first bit. You're also right about the MMR vaccine and it's definitely important that baby gets that as soon as they are old enough before any travel.
I agree. 😊 Best to wait 12 months.
Please just enjoy it. We had one. She's grown and now we're grandparents. Our grandson is the BEST THING EVER! But, I promise you, these months and years coming are going to be the BEST of your life.
You guys are probably one of the most real travel vloggers out there!! Keep inspiring us!! And thanks for answering our question!!
Ahh this is seriously so sweet of you to say! Thank you :D
Hi guys! First if all congrats! Second, I love your channel, I have been following you for ages now. I am an expecting mum myself (34 weeks today!), I would like to say that I would be very glad to see a nice channel like yours doing some content on travelling with a baby. I have look for such content and there is no many bloggers that do this, which is a pity. I think there is a lot of people like us, that loves travel and think that having a baby does not have to mean that you have to stop doing what you are really passionate about :) So, good luck in this new chapter, all the best!
We love traveling too and we just got back from Bosnia (after watching so many videos including yours) with our 9 month old. She has already been on 10 flights starting from 3 months of age! I was always so scared but it actually wasn’t hard as we were expecting. I’m really excited to see you guys traveling with a baby!
I would love to see you guys vlog Western Australia. End of the day I respect your decisions and you seem like you're both going to be lovely parents but waiting until baby is 12 months old before travelling internationally again is your safest bet. You'll be adjusting as new parents, babies need full time care and pregnancy takes so much out of you. You can't get certain vaccines until 12 months old and it's so important that baby is fully vaccinated and has their first year to build that immunity before travel. There are many beautiful places to see in Western Australia. Rottnest, Broome, Dunsborough, Margaret River, Albany, Exmouth, Busselton, Pemberton, Jurien Bay, Wave Rock, Pink Lake, The Pinnacles, Swan Valley, Ngilgi Cave, Cape Leeuwin, Kings Park and Botanic Gardens, Elizabeth Quay. There are so many options. Many people probably haven't been to Western Australia and would love to see these places. Baby's first Christmas could be a hot Aussie Summer one. If I had a baby on the way I would personally take 12 to 15 months off of international travel but it's completely up to you guys. Just know many people will still watch you travel Western Australia and I'd love to see you three be in vlogs once baby is here vlogging parenting life. You could even make a second channel to document as a family as well. 💕
Agreed xx
I can totally see Jess being the stern parent and Steven being a big kid as a dad. Can't wait to see your joy when the baby comes.
haha this made us laugh because you are soooo right!!
@@flyingthenest BTW It's so great to hear you say Israel and not Palestine... I know It's been a year and a half but we appreciate that very much when when you guys consciously don't mention Palestine keep sharing your content.
Congratulations on the pregnancy! We subscribed to your channel a few months ago and enjoy your “48-hour” videos. We are now empty nesters. Heading to the Baltic this summer and then flying to Lisbon for a few days to try that Sangria you two we’re enjoying in your Lisbon video. You are a lovely couple and no doubt will be wonderful parents.
The thing about having kids is things are unpredictable. I think it's a good idea you got all your study, etc out the way first. 💕 I am currently a SAHM new mum and I'm studying a bachelor of Food and Nutrition online with LaTrobe University through Open Universities so it's awesome I can study online, be a parent and travel if I wish to but it's hard. My husband works full-time and I plan on going back to work once our baby older. I studied personal training and fitness courses and I also did a diploma in Business at TAFE when I was 21 but I'm only just doing uni now and have two years of study left. I worked in hospitality and also did personal training jobs for years to help my husband and I save for our trips. As a parent who loves travelling I do think waiting until a baby is 12 months old is sensible. I mean that from a good place, kids can't get their MMR vaccine until 12 months old and my husband and I make sure we are fully vaccinated and so is our daughter before making international travel so we are waiting until a couple months after our daughter's first birthday so she can get all her vaccines. I'm 27 and my husband is 29 and we recently became parents to our almost 5-month old girl. My husband and I met though mutual close friends when I was 20 and he was 22. I went overseas for the first time when I was 21 and my boyfriend and I went to Japan for three weeks. Now we have been together several years and married for three years. We have been all around Australia, including The Great Barrier reef, and we have in order been to Japan, Fiji, USA, Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Italy, Germany, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Norway, Hungary and most recently Austria. My husband and I stopped travelling four months before I got pregnant as we came home to Australia to set up. I also know flying frequently can be bad for a pregnancy so we wanted to postpone travel before pregnancy even happened but that is just what we wanted to do. As long as you're monitoring the situation it's up to you. I came off birth control a month after coming back to Australia and My husband and I started to try for a baby and three months later I was pregnant. We haven't travelled overseas since and she is approaching 5 months old and we still feel she is too young. We are planning our travels and saving to go again after her first birthday and plan to keep travelling until she is four when we will come back and enroll her in pre-primary. We own the house my husband and I live in and so we will likely rent it out and store away our belonging with family, and insure it all. My husband also has a full-time job and a side job doing a professional graphic design and photography business that is helping us save. Once our little girl is two and my studies are done I plan to go back to work full-time or part-time and start my own personal training and nutrional advice business as well as working a regular job until my business grows. We want to travel while we can before our daughter starts school as we want our daughter to have travel and cultural experiences from around the world but we want her to have a normal and steady childhood in school too. Kids really change a lot of things. We are planning on going back to the USA and Canada around October for a couple months. Our daughter is named Rosalie Grace Miller but we call her Rosie for short. 💕 She was born August 25th, 2019 three days before her due date and my labour only lasted three hours and she was born weighing 7 pounds, 3 ounces at 7:33am. 😂
Congrats. 💕😊
TMI
Happy 2020 guys.. Big thanks for making our travels so much easier. I’m throwing it out there to visit the Cook Islands, before Bub born. I’ve never been but I’d like to see your videos. Good luck :)
Sounds like a great plan Jess & Steve. I agree, you guys deserve to lay on beach and relax before your new busy life starts as parents. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome adventures 🥰
I'd love to see some South Pacific videos from you guys! My dad did most of his graduate work in Fiji and Tahiti and I've been brought up listening to all his stories from there! Would love to see your take!!
While you're in Perth with the baby, why not try to show us a bit of that part of Australia? Not everyone gets to go to that part of the world, so it would be nice to see some of it.
Welcome to Canada! I grew up in Alberta and now live in Vancouver, so Banff and Jasper are the places of my youth (hiking and skiing). My last five trips have been to Asia and your series on Myanmar has inspired me to go there this year. Congrats on the growing family! Love your videos. You're youthful enthusiasm Is inspiring. Cheers!
Family blogs an your new life as parents would be great to keep in tune with you 3!!
I have been with you guys since Hawaii and I absolutely love love l9ve your at home vlogs! I love Chleo and Stephen's parents!
Jess I loved when you guys lived with your brothers and their dogs. I am so looking forward to the at home vlogs.
I’d love to see some of Perth/WA while you’re at home with the little one. But really, I subscribed because I like you guys, for you, bonus that you travel and I love that too, so whatever you choose to vlog will be interesting IMO.
Also, woo hoo, can’t wait for the Budapest video!!!
Soo inspiring that you are going to travel with your baby. Most of the people, actually all people, think that if a baby is there you have to stop travelling. I am 27 and going to start travelling the world in 3 or 4 years and I was scared not being able to do that, because I want also having kids the next years. It makes me more calm and believing that it´s going to happen if I want. Great Q&A. Love you guys, you are awesome
I cant wait to see your family vlogs back at home in Aus!!! I've been following you guys for YEARS and I used to love your laid back home vlogs :) so excited for you both!! xx
After having baby daily vlogs from home like room tour,first experience of baby , grocery shopping for baby and many more from home town .
Ahhh, Jasper. We checked in at the same hotel 1am, total darkness. Our train was 12 hours late. The next morning we opened the curtains to the most spectacular view ever. Lake, snow topped mountains, birds flying, green grass, hanging baskets of multicoloured flowers, elk roaming free. Heaven. Thx for bringing back these wonderful memories. I love Canada! 🇨🇦
You’ll find your way as parents. Just know you take it one day at a time. Enjoy it, time flies. 9m pregnant with my 3rd and it all goes fast. Memorize how baby kicks feel, you forget fast. Take little day trips with baby and share that. There are probably a lot of little adventures near home. And everything takes in new meaning with a baby.
Happy New Year! Please make sure to check out countries with current measles outbreaks in the Pacific! And the Phillipines is rife with measles so make sure bub is fully vaccinated before taking him/her :) all the best!!
Happy New Year, God bless you guys on your 2020 travels. Can't wait to watch this years adventures and welcoming of baby!
I’d recommend you look at getting a belly band too wear on flights specifically to help protect bub from the radiation etc. it’s amazing how much is on flights and you never know what it’s effects are. I used Belly Armour’s band through my pregnancy, it’s super comfy :)
That's a bit extreme. I would worry more about the tiny human being properly vaccinated before traveling and maybe the Zika virus while pregnant.
Genisien Winfrey I guess everyone has different areas of concern :)
I think documenting your baby growing up will be so special. As well as experiencing the world growing up. Completely relate to going home for a week and already itching to go on the road again also!
OMG GUYS!!! So as I’ve commented on your previous videos I work as a travel agent... anyway a customer of mine suggested I watch your videos and I was like OMG IVE BEEN FOLLOWING THEM FOR AGES! And anyway we pretty much just bonded over you guys 😊
Haha whaaat!! That's so cool 😊😊
Hi guys, living in Canada I've been following you for a little while now. I love what you do and opened up the world to us. Congratulations on your baby news, all the best. It would be great to see you travelling around Australia, while the baby is small.
Yes please do the family vlogs in the mean time as you settle as a family and learn to travel in a new way. So excited.
I hope you plan the next 9 months in advance just in case you get caught out. Most airlines will not let you fly after week 37 of pregnancy, or week 32 if you're pregnant with twins or more babies.
It's fun to watch your journey and even more fun to witness a couple take the next step and start a new chapter in their lives as a family. Not everyone is so lucky, so enjoy every step and every second of it. You should try Central America! The summer is starting here, best wishes and safe travels.
Happy New Year! I came across your site towards the end of last year when I was researching things to do in Queenstown and have been following ever since (and gone back and watched a lot of your old posts too) I love your vlogs, such beautiful cinematography! You guys are so talented! I look forward to watching your 2020 adventures!
That’s great news! Congratulations, guys! We wish you all the best in this new chapter of your lives and now with a little fluffy.
Super happy to hear that you will continue traveling once the baby arrives. And yes, of course I would like to see the series with a newborn! Watching puppies, babies ( especially puppies and babies together lol) and of course travel is how I relax after stressful day at work. So please, bring it on! Seeing you in Hawaii would be pretty awesome as that's my home right now. Highly recommend heading to Kauai and exploring Na Pali Coast (either hiking or boating), just did it and it is by far my top experience in all of the Hawaiian Islands. Fiji and French Polynesia ain't too shabby either, always wanted to travel there so please take me along. Cheers!
I can already see my question about expeditions 😍 immediately watching.
hehe :)
I am from Canada! 😁 Looking forward to your Canada series! Your channel inspires me to keep posting travel videos, thank you! 🙏
Where abouts you located? Cannot wait to show you our series :)
Brenden Walters same here. Canada wooo
We are in Regina, Saskatchewan! I don't expect you to come through here though.
Flying The Nest Kelowna, British Columbia! Have you ever been here? 😁
KrystalKstar Nice? Where in Canada are you? 😁
Hey guys... this is my 1st comment as a subscriber. I’ve been watching for about 7 months now but I don’t know how I missed your Philippines vlogs?! Anyways I’m super happy for you two to bring a new baby into the world! I know that travel is one of the best things in the world! The baby will be so culturally sensitive as he/she gets older! So awesome! I’ll be watching those Philippines vlogs right now!! And I look forward to seeing your reaction bringing the new baby to the Philippines... our culture love children and you’ll be so taken care of!! Will be watching from California and hope to join one of your expeditions one day!!
Eastern Canada can be fabulous in the fall with all the fall colours. Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, and the Maritime provinces.
12 years: my 2 cents: I've met my australian gf after 12 years of only texting. And facetiming in may for the first time. And it turned out that these 12 years made us understand each other like I've always lived just around the corner from her.
Have a great new year!
Greetings from the far north of Germany!
(Yes: we're crazy to try this!)
I from Australia but i barely see my own country so why not have one here? Like I've been to Sydney and brissy, gold cost but nothing else like the trip in Victoria you guys took it looked amazing please think about it and of course we would like home vlogs ❤️
Love your videos. Keep travelling because It inspire me and many others to travel the world as well.
Great video, honest and happy, please dont plan your life out too much, no matter what you think about being a parent it's going to be different, you will be different people once the wee one is born, be prepared to change, wishing you all the best with 2020
Wow i am very happy that you liked PHilippines the most. So proud to be a Filipino. Jessica on your third trimester don’t fly for too long. Is dangerous for blood clots . Happen to me. Good thing was only superficial. Take care guys😘
Happy New Year! Thank you for making these videos so much fun to watch! My question is will you be travelling to and documenting the southern portion of the Americas (Latin America including the Caribbean, Central and South America and any part of the continent of Africa?
Ah you guys are similar to my husband and I! We were together all of our 20's and had our first baby when we hit 30's. Traveling with a baby is actually so fun! We traveled lots before the baby and our favourite trips have been post kids.
Make sure you get your flu and whooping cough shots. 💕 It might be a good idea to wait until baby is 6 or 12 months old before travelling again just so baby is vaccinated and has an immune system and you need time to adjust. You can't get the MMR vaccine until 12 months and baby will definitely need that. 💕 You guys are great about parenting and will work everything out. I'm 23 and unsure about having kids but maybe someday. I think 30 is a good age as you navigate through your 20's. I so badly want to travel. I have a broken leg atm. I broke it a month ago ago so it's not as bad but I'm getting better. I'm still on sick leave atm and not going anywhere 😂 Once I'm healed I am just going to be working and starting my diploma at TAFE in March, considering uni, looking to travel to Japan, Europe, USA and Canada, Fiji, Vietnam and The Netherlands. I would love to see Fiji as I want to travel there eventually. When baby is older will you be doing online school or would you prefer that he/she settle and attend a normal school life and just travel once a year? I'd love to see a week by week pregnancy update, possibly a baby shower video and when bub is here a Week In The Life of New Parents? 😊 💕 Good luck. I've been subscribed since 2015 xx
Would loovvve if you could do a quick video on what to pack e.g. clothes, everyday items based on the season you're travelling in! I find it so hard to figure out how cold it is overseas and what clothes to wear in March when its turning into Spring in Europe! (Plus you can use footage from all of your past videos and run through different options!)
So excited for you both and your smart planning !!! And SO happy you will travel with your child, they will be so lucky and thankful for those awesome experiences !!! Take care and thank you for sharing all of your awesome adventures !!!
Definitely vlog your at-home time, and think Hawaii is an awesome stop on the way home, it is my favorite place and very pregnancy-friendly !!!
St Lucia is a nice island to visit in the Carribean or Gibraltar is nice place to visit it's warm there I think those places are safe for pregnant women. You'll have to assess the safety on that but I'm pretty sure it's ok.
Guys, love the vid! Fellow Aussie here, please travel our beautiful country in the more remote areas. Our tourism is really struggling with these fires and your reach will help improve this.
I'm going to Fiji in August, maybe I'll see you there? :) I would love to see videos of your life back home once the baby has arrived. Also, I would love for you to make a video about planning a trip, how to decide where and when to go, where to stay and eat and what to do. I enjoy watching your videos, lots of love!
I've watched you guys off & on for the past year idk why I didn't subscribe? Thanks to The Way Away for the recommendation & I finally subscribed and cannot wait to be part of your new chapter 😊
I’m from PH and I’m soooo happy to hear Jess you want to come back!!! Please do so if you can! 😍
Stay safe and good luck with baby girl. Make sure you follow the full Australian vaccine schedule. Your baby will definitely need a Measles Mumps Rubella vaccine and that isn't given until 12 months old so you will need to be extremely cautious when travelling. Xx
I wish you a wonderful 2020!! I love your videos. For South Pacific suggestions, it would be nice if you’d go to French Polynesia, in particular Bora Bora and Rangiroa. I would love to see those videos!
80 countries is insane! That's amazing! Congrats guys! Your success is 100% because you are both such lovely people. Wishing you all the best for the new year!
I'm going to Bali in september for 4 months. I would love to see you explore this beautiful island and maybe the surrounding islands (Lombok, Gili Islands) as well! Wish you all the best and lots of travels this year!!
Both of you will be a great parents. Wow I'm so excited to watch the next chapter of your life with the baby. Amazing!
videos with travel tips and planning the more not typical holidays and yesss baby content!!!
Congratulations, traveling with a baby is so crazy fun. They are so portable. Only thing is to focus on things like teething rings, holistic ear drops, and proper carrier's. Congratulations again to your Lil baby.
Happy new year. I love your blog and congratulations with your up and coming bundle of joy. We really need more tips on people travelling with babies and young children. We have recently traveled through Europe with our 1 yr old and 4 yr old with planes trains boats and buses and all. It is was my husbands first time travelling abroad and it was amazing to have the kids with us despite reservations that people had with us having no help on our trip. Everything is possible even with kids in tow as long as you planned well and play to the tune of your child needs and likes. Stay healthy and keep well.
it is so ironic that i am watching this in January 2021, i have seen all your new vlogs about baby hunter and when i look at this video, you all had such different plans and i kinda feel bad that none of your plans worked about travelling with hunter
i hope all three have a great new year
Happy New year, guys and congrats! Can't wait to see more form you! Come to Bulgaria.
I do love Q&A video's,great to get to know you better. Will definitely miss yours adventures while you are new parents.
I love that you are going to travel with your kid! That will be an amazing childhood!
I would definitely love to see weekly vlogs as new parents staying at home! You could even use your time at home if you’re feeling restless to be tourists in your own area and show us things to do around there! 💛
Dear future parents: I have been following both of you for sometime and I like what and how you present your travels. Being future parents, there is only ONE thing that matters when the baby is born. Baby is first, first and first. Never give up, Never give up, Never give up. I do want to ask you about your travels, but now I cannot ask you these questions. I am hoping to do so in the near future. Sincerely, Michael Millán
As always, an incredible video, even if it's just a Q&A.
I just want to thank you for the last years and am looking forward to everything that's to come with you two!
Happy New Year Stephen and Jess! I'm so looking forward to your 2020 adventures; to of course, include, your precious darlin'! Thank you for igniting my travel passion! Much love!
We just binge-watched your Morocco videos yesterday. Thank you for your videos! Going to watch this video now!
The islands of Fiji are amazing! Highly recommend and the people are beautiful.
I'm a new subscriber, so not sure if you've done this. But you should totally do a travel vlog of your home town! Australia is already an amazing country I'd love to see what you would do for fun in Perth and it would be easy to do with your little one!
You guys are adorable. May God bless the baby and both of you with good health🙏🏻😇
The cook islands! I'm going to the cook islands in March so it would be so cool to see your vlogs from there! Best wishes xx
I wanna see alllllll the baby stuff. weekly vlogging would be awesome !! I can't wait to see you guys be parents
Yes! Super excited for Island vlogs! Would be great to see one from Vanuatu or Tonga :) ps. Congrats on the 700,000k
I love when you film a lot in one place like 4-5 videos or more from one country!
Happy new year Jess and Steve you guys are an amazing couple I love watching your vlogs ❤️
My heart is full when I learned that Jess’ favorite country is the Philippines ♥️ Looking forward to see you both in person here in the Philippines. Happy 2020 ♥️ come visit us again guys. Get well soon Jess 😘
You look wonderful Jess! Sorry about your cold... eat lots of chicken soup, and I always found for some strange reason, Miso soup makes my sore throat feel better!! Oh and PS... I think I've sent my idea to you before, maybe you could visit Guam... There's a LOT of history there and sights to see, and it is safe since it's where America's day begins, so basically, you'll be in the U.S. and of course, the sunsets are like no other in the world!! I was born there, and was never able to go back due to cost, so selfishly, I'd love to see it through your eyes. Thank you for all you do!! And good luck with the pregnancy! Can't wait to see the baby "bird."
I’m Canadian and looking forward to your videos of Canada....and Ive never been to Jasper.
Super happy for y’all! I hope your family and friends in Oz are safe.
I would love to still see when you home with the baby around Australia! I have 2 kids and since the youngest was 2 we take them away every year for 3 weeks to Europe some place different we want then to grow up understanding different cultures and people then where we are from in Canada. People think we are crazy take kids on long flights and different places but you just make it work and it’s amazing memories we have with them. I can’t even imagine how amazing it will be when you start traveling with your little one ❤️
Aloha I am very excited to hear that you guys are doing the South Pacific! May I ask which island do you plan on visiting while in Hawaii?
We're a bit like you guys. Shared a life together, almost 20 years, before the kids came along. We weren't able to get back on the road till after the first one was older than 12 months but we did get back on the road. Travelling with kids is like seeing places for the first time again. It is better, it is different, and it can be challenging. But it is oh so rewarding. Now we have a 9 year old that can tick off her favourite things in a number of countries and a 6 year old that demands every single day that we go back to Japan again. Every single day. And recording it all on video is the best. I wish we had more than just a few blurry slides from when I was a kid but our kids will hopefully have something they can treasure when they're older. 😃
Love your work. Happy New Year!!!
Will be interesting to hear about best baby travel gear. There are so many things you have to bring when traveling with a child.
I think you guys are in a unique position to vlog about traveling with a baby/toddler. Many couples assume that once they have a baby, their traveling days are over. But what if you show parents how they can still travel but also bring baby/toddler along. This includes items that are (and are not) needed to make the trip easier and what are things to consider that may not be obvious. You can find an entirely new sponsor niche! Congrats and best of luck with all of your future endeavors!
