Hi, we are Stephen, Jess, Hunter and baby Koa - an Australian family who have had quite the journey. After travelling the world as a couple in 2020 we had our very first baby, we then spent the following year self-converted a van before moving into it full-time to drive around Australia. Cut to 2023 we welcomed our second child Koa into the world before resuming full-time travel around the world.

Hey everyone!! Sadly our van series here in the states has come to an end :( we are doing a catch up Q&A this week if you wanted to pop your questions below so we can get around to them :)
- Also grab our Map guide for where we went in the USA on this Van Trip: flyingthenestshop.com/collections/map-guides/products/usa-van-life-digital-map
thank you
I’m looking forward to the video; “traveling with children.” My son and his wife are expecting their first baby, and they currently live in the Philippines. They do love to travel so I’ll be sending them your information.
Are you going to travel more once koa starts school or will you just stay in Perth?
Hi guys. So glad you made it home safely. My question would be What was your favorite place to visit on your recent US van tour like you would visit that place again? Happy belated birthday to baby Koa. He’s so adorable. Love your adventures. I’ve been watching since the Orient Express. ❤
Do you think you could do the same type of travel you’ve been doing if you had a 3rd child? 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Happy birthday Koa! Can't believe he is a 1 year old already. Gosh how time flies!
i know!! time is seriously gone way to fast!
They way Hunter reacted to her surprise from Cleo with sincere excitement and said thank you without being promoted was the sweetest!
So cute!!! What a lovely birthday party for Koa...Hunter is the best big sister!
Koa's reaction to the socks was PRICELESS! (But just wait until he discovers how fun they are when turned into Sock puppets 😎) Happy Birthday Koa!!!
hahaha! truuuee should've made sock puppets
Wow. Supermom and superdad. You guys deserve a prize. 🏆
Happy Birthday 🎂 Koa!
aww youre too kind thank you!
I genuinely can’t believe Koa’s one. Time flies. Happy birthday Koa! 🎉
Happy birthday Koa!!!!
Hunter’s little jokes always make me smile! Once again another awesome video🫶🏼
aww thank you so much guys :)!! haha she cracks us up too
Hiii I love your videos thanks for replying!
This is so sad. We were so enjoying your US Van Life. Can't wait for your return. ❤
aww so sorry :( hope you enjoy the new series coming!!!
@flyingthenest Of Course we will! 💙
Loved to see the welcome home with Hunter. So sweet.
I live here and go to Walmart and I didn't know about that sticker stamper! That's a perfect addition to my classroom... thanks for the idea! I just love your videos and your family. Never stop discovering new places.
Honestly Hunter is still obsessed with it after all this time! Highyl recommend!
Koa has one facial expression and one expression only 😂 Always slightly sceptical old man - love it!
Hello from Cincinnati Ohio my kids and i love watching your videos! Happy Birthday Koa. My boys turn 4 and 8 these two weeks.
I'm sad you only were able to see 4 states & missed so many beautiful areas of America! Hopefully, you can come back & drive the East coast.
Happy 1st birthday baby Koa from Scotland!!!! This was a great series, did not want it to end, thanks for being my entertainment and my inspiration!
This is one of my favourite videos! You guys are amazing. How you turned a marathon travel adventure into entertainment I have no idea. What a feat ! ❤❤ Love watching your babies playing and laughing 🥰🥰
Happy birthday cutie pie baby Koa 🍦🍧🍰🎈🎉 Cute little girl🥰really enjoyed the van trip🤎Beautiful family 🥰
hehe thank you so much!!
You are both awesome parents. I love that you let your children get their wiggles out of the airport before they get on the flight. I always did that with my daughter and it made the flights so much easier. Love your videos cannot wait to see what content comes next.
It feels like yesterday when Hunter turned 1! She is now speaking fluently! Also sending my wishes to Koa! He is so lovely! Gets it from his dad!
Happy birthday Koa🎉❤
Hunter's love for Aunt Cleo is just adorable 🥹
How did you handle your little baby sleep while you all are sleeping at the same place? How did you find a van life with 2 little kids, were you able to get a relax time (couple time while being in a van with kids? How is hunter handling no van toilet ? 😅 during the night, were going in and out of van while kids are sleeping was accessible especially if it is cold outside? So my main questions are about sleeping and toileting, how did you manage koa baby food while on the go ? What preschool curriculum are you using for hunter ?
Putting together a full 5+ hour course covering all questions like these 😊 flyingthenestshop.com/products/how-to-travel-with-baby
Omg Koa is already one that is Crazy I have been here since you started and watching your beautiful family grow is so amazing
Aww thank you so much for sharing this beautiful family journey with us and you guys are so amazing keep up the good work
aww thanks so much for your support and sticking around!
@@flyingthenest your welcome anytime you guys are so amazing
happyyyy bday to the cutest boy koa !!!!!! hope u had the best day!!!! your so fortunate to grow up in such a fun family!!!!! love u guys 🥹💕💕💕 hunter is definitely the best big sis ever 🥹
Happy Birthday Koa Bear 🐨 ❤
Thanks Max!
so cute watching Hunter pull Koa back at the airport when he was crawling!
Happy Birthday Sweet Koa! It has been wonderful and fun to watch you grow up and see the world.
Happy birthday Koa!
Love your videos and wanted to share that Officeworks are now stocking some of the Melissa & Doug books; we're flying with our kids soon and are definitely on the sticker pad bandwagon!!
Amazing video! Always happy to watch you wherever you are. My question: with so many New places you visit (sometimes in a short period of time) do you still have a feeling of curiosity and excitement about travelling or is it more like a job now?
Best run to hug ever😭❤
Happy Birthday baby Koa🎂
hehe she loves her Auntie!
Thank you always for sharing your life with us! Happy Birthday Koa! When you return to USA you should look into a motorhome. Lots of room to move around for the kids and sleeping arrangements. Can’t wait for the next vlog! ❤
Do you get asked often from tourism venues or experiences to come and explore. Or do you tend to find the places of interest yourself.
Happy Birthday Koa!!! I can't believe you are 1 already!!! I am so glad I got to watch you celebrate your big day!! Wow 3,000 miles and 4 states. I hope you got to see the 4 corners nation monument and be in all 4 places at once well two :)!! Oh I have to get this for my nieces that are around Hunters age!!! I have 3 of them that are traveling to Pairs soon and that will keep them busy for a little bit. Thanks for the recommendation. They will LOVE THESE. Awe coo coo Hunter and Koa are still so cute. I leave Salt Lake for Tahiti on 8/23 and arrive in Tahiti on 8/23. So I too will be going back in time. I am a little worried about adjusting to time zones and then coming back to UT time lol but I am so excited.
Happy birthday to little Koa🎂So happy to see you back in Australia guys 😁and I'm so excited to the next adventure 🤗Wish you all the best and thanks a lot for sharing my friends 😁Well done 👏
thank you!! hehe excited for you all to see our new series soon!

Hello from Chattanooga Tennessee. Happy Birthday baby Coa. 😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Did you sell the first house where Hunter first came home? Or is this your home base? Also, do you now have a team to help with the videos, or is it still the two of you?
Good greif! All we did was blink and Koa is a year old! Happy birthday Koa! Safe travels family!
Happy Birthday Koa! 🎉🎉🎉 Have a wonderful adventures with your Mom, Dad and Sister Hunter! ❤Looking forward to watching more travel videos with Flying the Nest! 😍🥰 Whatever series you may have, we are here to support ❤
Really enjoyed this series! This video brought back so many memories of travelling with my 4 kids when they were little. Hunter and Koa did really well on that long journey! I loved seeing the behind the scenes of your travels, please share more of this stuff too.
** My question for the Q&A: Is Jess counting down to Christmas yet? This coming Christmas is officially closer than last Christmas...the shops will have Christmas stuff stocked next month. Where will you be this Christmas??? **
Absolutely loved this wee series and looking forward to to you next visit xx
Some videos of life in Perth, please. Also, you should do videos of sightseeing in your hometown! Some of us have never been to Perth, so we would love to see highlights of its best attractions! 🙏
I always wonder how you guys do all the planning? Like how do you pick where to go next, what to do, where to stay, get the seasons right etc?! It boggles the mind 😂🤯
Oh my goodness Koa is so cute! Can’t wait till he can talk! Happy Birthday Koa🎉🎉🎉🎉
🎉🎉🎉
Koa‘s reaction to the socks is priceless 🧦 we’ve all been there 😂
So sad your van time had to end. When you go back to frank in USA will you pick up where you left off?
Happy Birthday Koa!! 🎉❤ Hope yall enjoyed America
🎉 🎉 🎉
Happy Birthday Koa! Sad to be leaving Frank but it must have felt good to be heading home. Have been to San Fran once, LA 3 times & Orlando once (guess where are main destinations have been) and Hawaii 5 times but you have inspired me to see more states in the USA; though that little stop over in HNL just made me want to head back to Hawaii...
Happy Birthday Koa!
Glad you had a good trip back!
Please get a bigger van if you return!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOA!!🎉🎉🎉
I cannot believe he is 1 already!!! Oh man! So excited for this Q&A and what I would like to ask is how is Jess's voice doing and has she been to the doctor about this yet? I also worry for Hunter's voice as she also has a very scratchy voice at times. I literally just had a biopsy done and let me tell you those as no fun. It is important to have it checked as I just had my results and they were suspicious and they advised me to have my thyroid out. So I am very curious what they have advised her. I hop she is feeling better regardless and pray nothing serious ❤
happy birthday koa also love you guys so much ❤❤
❤❤ aww thanks Hannah!
When you go back home, do you put Hunter back in school and then take her out again? How are the schools okay with that? Did you consider getting an extended US Visa, we're just leaving by going to another country closer than Australia?
Happy Birthday Jess & KOA Loved watching you here in the states, especially in places we've also been to. Made it amazing Thank you. 🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵
Happy birthday baby Koa 🎉🎂❤❤❤ Wish you all the best in life ahead of you☺️
I highly recommend a southern tour of the us and please don’t forget Kentucky too. Loved the Siri can’t wait for more.
Oh my goodness she’s speaking amazingly!!!
Happy Birthday Koa!!! Can’t believe he is one!
What’s your favorite country so far and where do you still want to go?❤
What amazing baby travel gear do you use? You make it seem so easy! ❤ happy birthday Koa!
Happy birthday koa and I’m sad to see the season go. I used to watch you guys a lot as a kid and I grew up with you and I can’t wait to see what you guys do next.
aww no way!! thanks for hanging out so long!!
@@flyingthenest np you guys really helped me a lot
Hunter and Koa look so much alike. Happy birthday little one.😊🎉❤
Next time go to the East Coast …Maine and Acadia National Park!
Happy birthday baby Koa!!! 🎂🎉
Happy birthday Koa bean! Hunter you are an amazing little girl love you guys! 🥳🇨🇦🎂🎉
Happy Birthday Koa. Thanks for another great series guys. I am eagerly watching hoping you return to Europe with the kids 😂
Happy birthday Koa🎉🎉🎉he gets cuter by the day😊 and the bro sis interactions are so cute! My question for the QnA- how do you manage kids vaccinations for diff travel destinations , their check ups for milestones and if they get sick during their travel days . I have never seen this yet on the videos but does Hunter have meltdowns and how do you handle those ? I have kids around same age so am always curious about these esp if we travel longer to different countries .
You should see the Big Island airport on the lava flats. Everything is outside and you need to go up the stairs to board. Interesting experience, probably bad in the rain.
Welcome back home! Fellow Aussie here currently road tripping Canada & US, what were your favourite parts in the States you went to?!
When did Koa's hair turn blonde? Wow 1yrs old already gosh time flies.
16:40 "This is so fast!" - as a fellow aviation nerd and rater of landings, this is my favourite clip of the video and just too adorable! 😊 Better top up those savings, you might have a budding Pilot Bambi on your hands 😁🚁🛩
PS Happy first birthday, Koa!
Happy birthday lil handsome 🎉🎈👑🍦🧁 enjoy your special day 😊
This series has been great to watch. I can't wait to see what is in store next
Happy Birthday Koa 🎉 where has the time Gone. Before you know it you be back in Frank exploring more of the USA 😜.I am sure you had a lot of catching up to do with family all the Birthdays etc .
Your American series has been Fantastic really enjoyed it the views were just Breathtaking 😍.
Take care 🥰
Happy birthday beautiful koa
Thank you!!
You guys deserve a medal that was epic 😊
Do you plan on doing any more Australia van life videos? Our family just read Our Home on Wheels again this morning and were talking about how much we love that series!
Happy Birthday Koa!
Happy birthday baby Koa❤🎉
Happy birthday baby koa 🎉😘🎂
🎉😘🎂
Loved this series!
Happy Birthday Koa! And although it has been going on for a while now, I am really noticing the Aussie accent developing in Hunter's speech. I was wondering how it would be since she spends so much time all over the world. Only right that it would be Aussie, since she is Australian after all!
Happiest of Birthday's, Koa!🎈🧁 What's next for u guys? Beautiful family!
🧁🧁 hehe all will be revealed next week 🧁🧁
Happy first birthday sweet Koa
Happy Birthday Baby Koa 🎉🎉. May you have manyyyyyyyyyyyyy more 😊
😊😊 aww thanks!!
Happy birthday 🎊🎁🎂🎉🎈 Koa!!!!…🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You should do a video on flying with kids
;-)
Happy birthday koa l hope you are have a great birthday & your first van ride in the USA 🎂🎁🎉
Thank you! 😃!! can't belive he's one already!
@@flyingthenest you are very welcome
Happy birthday Koa 🎉❤
🎉 🎉 thank you!!
yeah great Vvlog guys.... I understand you travelling the international date line..... sometimes just gets you at the end of your trip... I am in Adelaide and remember doing the Los Angles trip a few year back now...... its time wise and you wil find you will sleep when you finally get home to Perth...
ooomf yeah you def get it! it can be a tough one coming back!
Flying the Nest - Q&A - BradNDenise Noosa QLD - Guys is a little hard to ask you a question as your channel covers a lot of answered questions being such a informative and fabulous channel. If there was one question, how much longer can you keep this adventure up with Hunter and Koa both growing up incredibly fast and their educational requirements, we appreciate that Jess is a qualified teacher is currently doing a TOP job?
I love your vlogs, have been following for years and seeing you all grow as a family of four is fabulous!
Now that Hunter is older, will you stop travelling as much for her to go to school or will you continue to home school on the road?
Enjoyed your van series! Will you try to take in Yellowstone, Grand Tetons and Glacier National Park next time you’re in USA?
Gosh, aunty clo clo is one amazing aunty ;)
I remember his birthday was very special…23rd March 23…you said so.Anyways Happy belated birthday to Koa bear
Oh no!! I’m so disappointed. I hope everything is ok. Watching video now to see what happened ?? ♥️✝️🇺🇸
Could you please tell me what hotel you stayed at at the Hawaii airport? Ive been looking at a few just for our stop back to Australia and Im thinking the pool looks good for the kids!
Happy Birthday Koa! Mine is on the 27th. Have a great weekend :)
Thank you and Happy birthday for the weekend!
Would love to know how safe you felt travelling around the States, particularly overnight in the van.
What’s Perth like? Maybe you can show us around or direct us new people to videos you already did?
