    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.

    As parents ourselves, we just have to say that you both are made to be mom's and dad. It's so enjoyable to watch you taking time out to just BE with your kids and having the experience of raising them. We are fans of KOA's also because for the most part, you know what to expect and they are all comfortable places to stay. Our daughter homeschools both of our grandchildren . We have so much respect for Jess. You are giving such good memories!!

    These videos have made my heart so happy. I grew up traveling the US by mini van with my family, staying at KOAs and making wonderful memories across the country. The videos we have from a KOA in Arizona (with beautiful mountains behind the cabin) are still some of our favorites to rewatch. They were a great place to grow up and spend my summers. I’m so happy you all found them and have been exploring while staying at them. The small moments at the campground bring back special memories and I hope you cherish them forever. ❤

I often think about how much the kids will love seeing young Mom and Dad when they get older. I found you because of your van life the first time so I do have a big fondness for those type of videos. Of course anything you all post is always fun so just waiting to see what is next!🧡🖤🧡

    The game is called Ladder Ball or Ladder Toss. You get different points depending on which wrung of the ladder you hook your ball to. I believe 1 point for the top wrung, 2 for the middle and 3 points for the bottom. We always played first person to 10 wins. The time you invest in your children is so lovely to watch. Did you teach either of your children sign language. Our daughter was an early talker, but our son needed help with speech (he grunted to communicate). He really didn’t start talking until he was 4 years.Specialists suggested he didn’t have to talk as big sister did all the talking for him. He remained quite quiet as he grew up. Curious to see if KOAR will be able to keep up with Hu tee.

Also brings back awesome memories of home schooling my daughter and travelling with her during the school terms to avoid the crowds. She's 27 now and I miss those days so much.
    It doesnt matter what sort of video you make, I will watch it and enjoy it. Im totally invested in watching the 4 of you grow together.

My 19yr old wants to come on our summer holiday road trip with me and my 11yr old this summer, even though he has just finished his 1st yr at Uni. We had a fabulous road trip last summer to. You just have to adjust the activities to suit the kids ages and interests.
    My kids love skiing holidays in winter (at any age) and in summer we now include quad biking, abseiling and climbing, sea kayaking, trekking, etc. Stuff they enjoy.

    I'd absolutely love for you guys to hang out in the states for a while, there is definitely so much more to explore!

    Crikey Jess how do you manage to look so glamourous in a van with 2 kids! Amazing.

    Aww guys, this is another one that tugs at the heart strings. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this raw day-in-van-life episode...absolutely sweet as can be. A fitting low-key, but still touching swan song to all the thrills and chills of your wonderful travels on this US journey. Bummer that it's over. Loved every single bit. More than mere words can describe. Haha, I haven't seen a Jiffy Pop in so long! It was funny watching you waiting to do its thing. Cheers guys..and HAPPY SEVEN YEARS🥂🥰
