Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter, a traveling family who spent 2020 self-converting a van before moving in full-time to drive around our home country of Australia. We have now completed our lap, said our goodbyes, and resumed full-time travel before we wait for our second baby to arrive.

Hi everyone!! Hope you are enjoying our brand new series here in the Cook Islands - its honestly a little hidden gem of paradise that we hope you enjoy joining us :) thanks again for all your support from our little family!
Jesus loves you ❤️ Please turn to him and repent and receive salvation before it's too late. The end times described in the Bible are already happening in the world. He is waiting for you with open arms.
The Cook Islands look amazing, wish I was there right now 😍
I've been watching your videos even before Hunter was born 💛 and I love you guys.❤️❤️
We have been there 5 times in 5 years in Rarotonga for 2 weeks at a time, and 4 times in Aitutaki, the whole place is like heaven on earth. We stayed at the Sunset Resort and my daughter and husband with their little girl at Edgewater Resort, for two weeks as a present from us as a wedding present.
i like how you let your kids get messy and learn on their own. amazing parenting ❤
This!!
I think the Cook Islands may now be on my bucket list, it looks incredible!
hehe we have 1 more spot - definetly the most beautiful spot - after next week i 100% think you will be convinced :)
Omg , you’re children are so adorable, adventurous and really happy little people. They are just a reflection of their mummy & daddy. Loved your vlog.
So beautiful! I have never thought of the Cook Islands as a holiday destination before. Stunning! And with the clear, calm, shallow waters, it is perfect for kids too! It is amazing how Hunter and Koa are stealing the show now. They are unbelievably adorable! The Cook Islands look like Hawaii minus the crowds. You guys made me crave fish! This is now on my bucket list. Thank you so much!!
Honestly us too! Till we saw our friends Daneger & Stacey head out there and we fell in love instantly! It always felt a bit unnacessible but now theres a direct flight from Aus (which was pretty reasonable) its seriously added to our re-visit list!
you guys are the epitome of JOY LOVE and FAMILY UNION, but even more so, you are all such an example of how travelling with children and babies EVERYWHERE everywhere!! is possible and good for them! That I love so much thanks for sharing you bring so much JOY to my life!!!!!!!! When ever you come to Switzerland please let me know!!!!!
This is a great review. Proves that Rarotonga is perfect for families as well as singles; great food, activities, entertainment & accommodation.🎉
Jess I love your enthusiasm about food. You get so excited. It makes my mouth water. A mom's job of blowing on food is never-ending. What a happy family. You guys are the best.
I love food! Haha
Sweet baby Koa and cutie pie Hunter, having so much fun, best thing ever, God bless them ♥️
From what you've shown of the Cook Islands it looks like paradise to me. I could live the rest of my life going from beach to eating and back to beach again.
It really is 🤍
The Cook Islands look like such paradise 😍
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us! It’s so amazing to be able to travel with you around the world ❤
Jara, my name is Suma.I'm from the cook islands and I really like you guys as youtube channel

All that food makes my mouth water Jess and I love how you get so excited about tasting each dish and baby Koa slurping the noodles up and Hunter saying I love slurping ha ha. Never thought of the cook islands as a holiday destination. Loving this series. Take care and till the next one.

Wow..😆🤣yummy 😋Love the video 👍Thanks for sharing and take care guys 😁
Nothing like a sneaky night swim 😊
OMG Hunter's Mango comment made me crack up so much- I once remember trying to do the same thing with an Avocado Seed after a relative made Guacamole and telling everyone (because my parents had an avocado tree they started from a seed) "DON'T WORRY IF WE RUN OUT OF AVOCADO, WE'LL HAVE MORE IN A FEW DAYS!" (Little did I know 🤣 Also it made me miss Green Mango salad from when I lived in Thailand)
This island looks INCREDIBLE! The money so looks like Canadian money😁
Jess where are all your beautiful and colorful shirts from?? I love them in every video
Hunter is such a brave, beautiful girl!
Looks like an amazing time! I follow you guys on insta and saw all the exciting adventure if you guys went on! I’m so excited! Hawaii looks amazing! Lots of love ❤️
aww thanks for following us over there!! Yess so many fun adventures to come out :)
It looks so beautiful there 😍
I wanna come here to cook island is so tempting 😊
I absolutely love watching your videos, ive been keeping up with your travels since long before covid and i was a little star struck when i saw you at a coffee shop in perth when visiting my sister for new years 😂 my husband realised and knowing how much I love your videos shouted "love your channel" as you were leaving (sorry about that, he's very loud so I think he took you by surprise but you smiled and said thank you). Your original Instagram stories of the cook islands have inspired us to book the cook islands for our honeymoon and we'd love to know what you think... We're going for 2 weeks, would you recommend booking 1 Hotel and taking trips to the other islands or maybe booking a few different places across the different islands?
This trip has basically been a food tour! Lol! Not sure how you guys don't gain weight with all this food tasting/eating
wow amazing seafood I love that
You used my friends song! At 10:30 😍😍 Emily Brimlow 🤩🥹 Holey Moley.
Hehe she makes great songs!’
So fun. Lovely vlog guys.
We were there last year.love the cook islands.hop on a plane to Aitutaki its the most beautiful lagoon in the World.
Also please say high to Max at the Baha'i center down the road from you.
This video makes me want to go to the Cook islands. They are not exactly around the corner from the United states. But I want to go. I want to move there
The Cook Islands is self-governing while in free association with New Zealand, which is why they use the New Zealand dollar as their currency, although they used the Cook Islands dollar until 1995.
Jess, can you share where you get your awesome tops/outfits? New mom here looking for some fun vacation wear..! We have a tropical vacation coming up and I love your style💕
Sabo skirt is my all time fave store 💙
Loving 😁🙏
I know it's really about American overindulgence but your words on portion size make my overfed self go, "How little do y'all eat over there?!" 😂But for real--if you are ever in central Alabama, U.S., I'd love to meet your wonderful family. ❤ I can offer a small guest room in a house with cats and a dog! 😆
Don’t think Hunter could be quiet if she tried 😂😂😂😂. Looks such a beautiful place ❤
😂.😂. nope!
I am sure you are the most beautifull family in the world, from all the point of view.In my future next, life I want to be Jess.You are so kind, like a hot bread.Love you all.
Hunter is going be one independent little lady!
Oh I wish I was eating all that….. 😋
