Welcome to our last episode here in Switzerland :( this has seriously been such an incredible few weeks and this beautiful and awe-inspiring country has easily shot straight up our top favourite countries list! Let us know which was your favourite episode and if you want us to come back - where should we go?
p.s. new series starts Wednesday!
Jewish are crazy people absolutely nothing special in tiny desert stupid Palestine promised land 🤔
People should respect each other no matter where they did come from 🤔
I like this last episode the best. Also, please consider Garmisch, Germany (South of Munich . It sits at the bottom of Zugspitze Mountain which is the highest in Germany. Cable cars or train to the top. Incredible views. Thank you for sharing all of your travels and we love it 😀
Can’t click fast enough ☺️
please come to Turkey! this series are the best :)
Gosh Hunter is a sweetheart, the ‘I’m so happy’ melted my heart. Please never stop travelling, your videos are almost therapeutic to watch!
they are so young, how do they afford to travel so much?
@@juliemiller2523 Their is a video in it on their chanel.
@@juliemiller2523 they have been together since age 16 and they would save all their money together aiming for a year long travel trip. They went on said year long trip in 2015 and made videos throughout the way eventually getting sponsored and growing their channel. TH-cam is now their full time job and this is how they fund their travel through the money they make through social media/business.
@Naomi Lymburn How can I contact you?
I cant stop appreciating Hunter for being such a good sport and joyous.. she's one lucky child to be able to explore the world with her two awesome parents ❣️ thanks for taking us along! Also yes return in the winter ☃️
Something I never knew until watching this series is Switzerland has the most epic playgrounds.
This was by far one of the most delightful videos I have seen on youtube yet! I had a smile on my face the whole time. And what made it really really special for me was your interaction with your child it was so loving so kind and sweet. Kudos to you!
Tip for those who wish to save money on this stretch: cut your journey in 2 pieces in 2 subsequent days, using local (express ) trains only on the same route: First take the RE (Regional express) via the Albula route from St.Moritz to Chur about 2 1/2 hr ride running every hour. This is a regular train and you pay the regular price. In Chur stay overnight, Next morning thake the regular train (runs hourly) to Disentis/Muster where you have to change (direct correspondence) to the Matterhorn Gothard Bahn which takes you (mostly direct, but with many stops) via Andermatt to Brig and Zermatt.
I have done this from chur in first class. The benefit was you can always open the windows.
(the "Express" was full) And it did not take longer!
And when you taking more train rides think about swiss travel pass.
YOUR GUYS TRAIN VIDEOS ARE MY FAVOURITE OUT OF ANY OTHER TRAVEL CHANNELS!! 💛💛💛💛
aww so glad you enjoy them!!
Such an incredible Switzerland series! Can’t wait to find out about the next adventure!
“I’m so happy”!!! My heart, Hunter just gets more adorable, Switzerland is just beautiful!! Where next guys 😍
I have been watching the two (now three) of you since the very beginning. The way that your story telling, videography, and comfort in front of the camera have matured is incredible. Keep up the amazing work you are doing; I love living these places thru your eyes. Safe travels to your next amazing destination.
Switzerland is so beautiful. We were there, in winter, a few years ago. Looking at your videos, it just makes us want to go back there again, in summer maybe… ♥️
Hunter's reactions to the new experiences are just precious! YES, go back in winter! The Glacier Express is stunning then!! And the Christmas markets--and the decorations--are absolutely fabulous!! Your video makes me want to go back to Switzerland in summer--it's very different!
Awwh that part where they are serving and saying that it's for the baby had me shed some tear .
Awwh 🥰❤️
That train trip would definitely be incredible in winter. And (having a 2 year-old myself) is seriously impressed with how patient hunter was during the train trip!
Definitely adding the glacier express to my bucket list.
Thank you so much for filming your adventure in Switzerland! Really appreciate all the work you do to give us the information on what works and what may not work as well.
Wow totally beautiful, I have been dreaming of one day visiting Switzerland, seeing it through your beautiful family was amazing!
Wow😃❤ I can just imagine swinging there right under that mountain😁! Thanks for sharing!
Omgoodness Hunter is such a delight and such a good girl. She is always so happy and easy going. What an amazing educational life she is living. I am looking forward to going to switzerland next September even more now.
Thank you so much for the beautiful presentation Switzerland my friends 👍😁Amazing video and I'm so excited to see what happens next 🤗😁love the video.Thanks for sharing and take care 😁👍
I have loved your switzerland series! Switzerland is now at the very top of my bucket list. You should definetly go back in the winter!!
I just finished watching the whole video. What an incredible adventure 😍
Absolutely amazing! Makes me really want to travel to Switzerland!
Hunter is the cutest ever and melts my heart and is such a happy child! So incredible she gets to experiences all of that with you
My old stomping grounds! (lived in the canton of Valais for 3 years). Thank you so much for your joy! And for the Hunter subtitles - very helpful!
So happy! Smiling ALL the time, watching you all GO!!
I love the way Hunter said, I'm happy. Beautiful places to be and have fun. Enjoy
Love seeing Hunter experience things, and for the fondue I'm going to guess $110 Swiss franks (I found out that's about $136 🇨🇦
Hi what a pretty picture you've on your profile! Just decided to stop by and say Hi!! I hope my compliment is appreciated 😊❤
Thank you for sharing your great experience with us. You are such an authentic family. Our country has much to offer, but it comes at a price, which not all citizens can afford. So, it is super to watching vlogs like yours.
Your videos always screams AUTHENTICITY. And probably that's why lot of people supporting you. Honestly watching you grow, I would say you are doing pretty well now. Stay safe🥰
awww such a lovely comment thanks so much!!
I think that's not a reason though, Stephen is just an amazing storyteller
@@AnthonyGruba totally agree
My favorite part of this whole video was Hunter smelling the flowers, and saying yellow purple. This was such a beautiful video! I would LOVE to see you all go in the winter!
Switzerland is absolutely Beautiful and Magical. Thanks for showing us!
I’ve been waiting for this video for soooo long because I’ve been on that train at the same time as you were and then was lucky to meet you all in Zermatt 🥰 I love this Swiss series!
I just watched all your swiss videos in one go. I loved it, you just make me smile and happy. You three have a lovely energy :)
Greetings from Chur, Switzerland!
Yes. Go back in Winter! I love watching your travel videos. It makes me want to be one of those people who I believe are called world schoolers. I homeschool my children but how amazing would it be to study history in various parts of the world. Or sit in a cafe looking at the Matterhorn while completing an algebra assignment. God bless you all.
The staff on the train were so cute! "for the baby" ☺️
It may be expensive but it seems like such a memorable journey! Definitely on our list.
Those shots of Jess and Hunter in the middle of the wildflowers were sooo beautiful! ❤️
Hey guys...been following this channel for last 2 years..watched every single episode twice...travel shows help me forget everything else...so ur show was kind of therapeutic while i was going thru extreme life changes in last 2 years
You know how to make great travel videos. I feel a bit of wanderlust now!
Absolutely loved Switzerland there was so much amazing scenery keep up the amazing videos can't wait to see where you go next
So happy you enjoyed it here in Switzerland
I must go book this trip - absolutely stunning. One word of advice I had learnt from my brother when he was at university. I had noticed when he returned that from time to time he would wear his tops inside out when I went to moms house. Never thought anything of it but discovered he did it to so that if spelt food down it wouldn't matter because he just reversed it the right way when going out and no one was none the wiser. So if your daughter messes her top again just turn it inside out.
Your guys’ video make me want to go to Switzerland SO badly. Like it looks absolutely gorgeous
awww hope you can! Seriously lives up the hype!
I am from Switzerland and i can surely recommend it!🇨🇭
@@healnight2438 D´Schwitz isch z´tür 😀
Eifach schnell is Dütsche go poste, halb so tür
It is. (Saying this as a German who grew up 80 km from the Swiss border (Freiburg)).
I just want to roar with Hunter: It's so beautiful! The most scenic playgrounds for sure. Sitting in the wildflowers meadow, I am getting major " Heidi" vibes. Always loved the books. That fondue looked amazing, probably it's weight worth in gold. How much did Hunter enjoy her favorite food group,cheese?
To be honest, in this absolutely beautiful place and at such altitude, any piece of bred and cheese would probably taste amazing.
Thanks again for a deLIGHTFUL video. Loving every bit! ♥️
Amazing video! Thanks for sharing! Your family is lovely!
I've been on the Bernina express 2 weeks ago, right around the time you released your Bernina express video. And I really enjoyed the beautiful train ride. 😍 I think I have to return for the Glacier express in the future! Another money saving tip for Switzerland: buy a Interrail/Eurail pass, you can use it for all trains including Bernina and Glacier express and the Golden Pass. You still have to book your seat separately but you'll still save TONS of money.
I look forward to your videos every week. They make me happy. Thank you!
Thank YOU for sharing all the wonderful moments with us
What a breathtaking adventure! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
absolutly loved this series 😍. you should definitely go back in the winter time.
Switzerland definitely just jumped to the top fo the bucket list... most glorious landscapes... Cheers for sharing the world with us through your eyes... Hunter is just adorable, the life experiences she is clocking up is epic... please keep the videos coming... 🌹
Love the video guys it's beautiful there, and happy for Hunter too.
ohhh I love Switzerland so much.
You must come back in the winter!
We adore Switzerland!! We travel in March and April when we go overseas which is cooler BUT both times the moutains have beem socked in with high winds, fog, and rain. We decided the price was too steep to not be able to see anything. This makes us want to go back in the summer months. Thanks, great video.
Wow.. between the train and the ride up to the Matterhorn it just kept getting better and better 😊
After seeing your over train journey like this, I NEED TO GO ON ONE! gonna try and get a journey planned for next summer
Baby Hunter, you are so adorable.
Btw, the staff in the train are so sweet to give more food for Hunter.
Thank you so much for the amazing video. It brought back great memories of my visits to Zermatt. The Glacier Express train is the best. I skied the Matterhorn in the winter and it was a great experience.
What a dream you guys! Switzerland is now on our travel wish list.
I love you all guys. I cant travel. So i love to watch your wideos. A big thank you so much
I love watching you all. Hunter is absolutely adorable!!!
Loved this series and beautifully shot as always, please go back in the winter.
This has been one of my favorite series you guys have done, it has just been so beautiful! I definitely think you should come back in the winter. Also when Hunter dropped her toy in the glass of water I laughed 🤣. Anyway loved it all guy!
I love how Hunter is learning her colors yellow purple very good ... she has the best teachers mommie daddy and the world
Love your videos! I often binge watch your earlier ones and I cannot have enough of them. I adore when you try new food and Jess is so good in describing the taste. You guys are so good at what you do for so long. Thank you! 🌹🙏💜
Hi what a pretty picture you've on your profile! Just decided to stop by and say Hi!! I hope my compliment is appreciated 😊❤

Awwh can't wait to go to Switzerland with my loves🥰❤️
Long time sub here, Travel and videography aside, I have two daughters your guys ages and I just wanted to commend you on your parenting. Just wonderful to see all the love.
Gosh Jess you are a wonderful mother. Love how you parent.
I moved to Switzerland a few years ago, but was never able to get around a lot. Also: Even if you know, that the country is beautiful, you sometimes just forget, because you´re so used to it. Thanks for taking us along your trips
Such a beautiful trip. Thank you for sharing it.
So glad I can call switzerland my home.. its just so special!
Wow amazing video you guys every part of Switzerland was great to watch at some point in my life would love to go there on my bucket list can't wait to see what country is next on the list for you guys greetings from queens, ny
Loved this episode your all such a lovely family
Thank you again for wonderful video can't wait to experience it for my self 😊
You did a great job cleaning the chocolate off the train trip sweater for the Matterhorn trek! Amazing scenery! Just gorgeous.
Aww thanks so much for sharing this with us god bless the flying the nest family
Great vlog.love how you guys don't complain about you're jobs..keep traveling.kinging it will love it
Wow. The windows on that train with views all around. 😍 Switzerland looks so magical and otherworldly. Almost feels like we aren't worthy to have a place so beautiful on this Earth.
Its even nicer than in the Video 😊
Yes, I was there at the same time this video was posted last year, and also took the Glacier Express. The only way to describe it is heaven on earth. The kind of beauty that takes your breath away and makes your heart race. I didn’t know any place on earth could be this beautiful, and the weather in September is perfect. It feels like a dream now a year later!
Switzerland is stunning! I have been waiting for Jess to burst out in song...The hills are alive
If you do enough train rides (and stay long enough) then it is worth getting the Swiss travel pass. This is what I do and the Glacier express is free, you just have to pay for the seat reservation. I tried the food once and I was not too impressed, so I normally do what I do on all swiss trains - buy some cheese, fresh bread and cheap wine, etc in the supermarket and have a picnic on the train. It can be done on the cheap.
Really love watching your various travels around the world,seeing how hunter is growing up ,her personality coming out,the only downside to going to Switzerland is the cost of things,I think the fondue meal must have cost at least £80 ,can’t think what the cost of train travel would be though (VERY EXPENSIVE!!!!!!).look forward to seeing where you go next in Europe.
Wonderful series! Love watching you and little Hunter, so precious 🥰. I guess the fondue was about 130 CHF??
No the fondue is maximum 38 CHF
Gorgeous video guys!!😊😊
Aaw I always love to see you get excited about our landscape here in Switzerland. I’ve been in Zermatt for skiing almost every year since I was a child (since I live in Bern). And: this small village’s Name where you had your fondue is Findelen. There on this small beautiful path towards Zermatt, my husband proposed to me 10 years ago. If you ever come back to Switzerland I would love to give you some untouristic hints, as a habitant I know some beautiful places here that are not that well known…
I love your content, keep it up!
Hunter is so cute! The first time we went to Zermatt was in the summer, and we returned in the winter 2 years later. It’s such a beautiful place!
That train looks so cool! What a ride.
OMG OMG OMG husband and I are so saving up for Switzerland !!! You guys are wonderful !
Awesome videography and narrative from you both. Fabulous
Hunter is so sweet,amazing views! Can't wait for the next one.
I'm an aussie who lives in Switzerland, and so i loved watching your swiss vlogs! Looks like you had a great time. I forget what it was like to be brand new here, so it gave me all the warm fuzzies!
When you come back - check out Oeschinensee, Blausee, Brienz & Geissbach waterfalls. Definitely staying overnight at Pilatus is as good as you'd thought it would be!
beautiful vlog!! Hunter is such a blessing
We've loved all the Swiss videos!
Yes, of course! You should go back when it’s snowing!!!
Omg, Switzerland is a must to visit. ❤
That was such a good series!!! Cant wait to fly to Switzerland next year for our honeymoon except that its so expensive. Xoxo to hunter!
Nice video! I haven't watched your videos in a while so I was surprised to see Hunter to have grown up so much.
One thing to note: if you have the Swiss Rail Pass, the glacier express is included (albeit you do need to pay for the reservation fee) and I believe the Matterhorn glacier paradise gondola is also still included. And even if you can't find reservations on the "glacier express" itself, there are regular trains on that route with the same views but without the panoramic windows or the glacial pace at which the GCE goes. The Swiss Rail Pass is where the true value is in the transit system. I'm assuming you didn't get the Swiss Rail Pass because of the length of your trip and bc I believe excellence class isn't included in it.
Looks amazing guys, omg Hunter is so cute, have fun, love from Australia
heyyy guys you're killing it keep going
