Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter, a travelling van life family who self-converted their dream house on wheels - we now live full-time in our Sprinter van called Cooper as we do a full lap of our home Australia.
Inspired by our friends Kara and Nate, Kinging It, Endless Adventure and Eamon and Bec.
Welcome back to ITALY!! After jumping off the cruise we decided we wanted some more pasta and pizza so we headed straight to the Rome airport to pick up a car and explore the beautiful area of Tuscany - where should we head to next?
Come south stay with me in sicily
You should definitely do Puglia or Sardinia 💛
Lake Como/Lugano
you guys have to go back to greece
I want to be Hunter when I grow up 🤣🤣💛💜🥳 WOW Wow
also - just wanted to add, I love that you're sharing the costs of things more from the car to the hotel, that's really helpful. Most youtubers don't do that, so it's great to hear to be open about it. Makes everything seem achievable! So, thank you x
We always have blog posts on our website www.flyingthenest.tv 😃 sometimes it just doesn’t fit the video so always look out there
@@flyingthenest a whole new world of flying the nest, I didn't know there was a blog THANK YOU!
I have never been so proud to be Italian❤️❤️❤️❤️. It’s heartwarming watching my beautiful country through the eyes of someone who doesn’t live here and enjoys every bit of it! Especially Hunter with her helalo❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm french, I've been to many countries and for me Italy is the best of them all #dolcevita
@@lydiatazamoucht2203 💖💖💖. Merci❤️ and I’ve fallen in love with France❤️
Really true...It is my dream to see your beautiful country....I am also from a beautiful place ... Kerala.. God's own country...backwaters,house boats paddy fields, Tea gardens
@@manjusreedhar1005 ❤️❤️❤️🥰
I'm so jealous that you are from Italy. I was there in 2018 with my husband and there's not a day that goes by that we don't dream of it. 🇮🇹💘😍
I’ve never ever been this early! As a broke uni student I’m living my travel dreams through you guys!!
aww we've all been there dont worry!! what you studying?
@@flyingthenest I’m currently half way through my first year, I’m studying high school education, majoring in visual arts and drama
I cannot say it often enough: You guys are living the life millions of people are dreaming about. Have a safe trip where ever you are.
Hunter just melts your heart, you guys looks as if you are having so much fun, safe travels xxx
Another wonderful video, thank you. Just love the whole journey. Looking forward to the next one
Really loved the cascading spring, how cool was that! Loved the houses/ rooms you stayed at, especially with it’s own courtyard. The views at the first place you stayed at were stunning! In fact all of Tuscany looks beautiful. I don’t blame you guys yumming up the gelato! I know I would! Enjoy the rest of your European holiday! Thank you again for sharing your adventure with me!
Thank you for taking us along... So beautiful ❤❤
Totally loving these summer vlogs. The Italian ones are my absolute favourite. Love seeing you travel through Tuscany with Hunter. It gives me ideas for a trip with my little one.
Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful places! ☺️☺️
This video, you guys! Every shot was soooo beautiful, and the editing 😍 Every single place you visited looked amazing. The hot springs have been on our list for ages! And you definitely convinced us to visit San Gimignano! Also, the ice cream flavours you chose are ELITE 🍦
I am LOVING living vicariously through y'all going to Italy (it's been on my bucket list for years, along with Croatia and Slovenia which I also went along with you guys to)! Keep up the awesome work and I will definitely be along for the next one!
Wow! Italy is so beautiful! Can't wait to visit it next year with my hubby and son! You guys show how it's possible to travel with young children and the joys of seeing the sights in their eyes!
AMAZING!!! And little Hunter saying: "yeah, yeah I like it" to everything is perfection and she spot on! 💕💕💕
Absolutely fantastic. Thank you SO much for taking us along this amazing road trip. I could spend a year or many in Italy... if only I could get there. Now, in addition to Como, I definitely need to drive around the Tuscan country side. I might want to take your same path. Ciao & love from PA, USA!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! I’ve been following you guys for two or three years now and it just keeps getting better and better. From the quality of the videography and editing , to the genuineness of your little family, to all of the wonderful information that you share about the places you go… You guys are killing it! One of my other favorite travel UA-camrs have recently taken their channel down the path of doing lots of extreme physical challenges versus actually showing us the places they are traveling to, and I want to thank you guys for sticking true to your roots and showing us parts of the world that we may never get to see otherwise. I now want to go visit some places that I had never even considered until seeing them with you. Also, as you already know, Hunter is the most adorable little girl ever 😍. Safe travels!
Completely agree with you about K&N .
This was wonderful!! Tuscany is on my bucket list!! Thanks for a beautiful tour.
I think this is my favourite vlog of yours! Tuscany looks magical 😍
Awwh I love the genuineness of this family with each other .
Thry seem so happy and true
Steve.. your editing is just… reaching another level lately. Absolutely in awe of how good it is! So so talented 🙌🏼
Love your videos❤️ You can't help but feel joy watching your vlogs 🥰😊
Hey folks what a beautiful family you are! Never let anyone take it away this is one of the most organic channels on UA-cam I love you guys. I have 2 kids 3 & 4 and you have given so much confidence to travel with children in Europe well done you two great channel🙏
This is the most loveliest comment. Thank you so so much this really made our day 💛
Hi, I was finally able to subscribe to your channel but I have followed you guys along the way for over the years. Thank you for making me feel like I am apart of the adventures you go on. Thank you for your positive energy every video
Italy is my most favorite place to be. Tuscany is breathtaking. Love this series!!!!!
Good heavens, Hunter has grown so much and is talking well too! She's a real trooper trying things she's skeptical about 🥰 Another great trip! Be well you guys and be safe 💜💜💜
Best video yet! The creativity and the content! Can't forget about the cinematography !!
Absolutely loved this! Beautiful 😍
Thanks for this video. Really helpful in planning my trip to Tuscany next summer. I must add. Your daughter is adorable 🥰. God bless her!
I just love your videos. A beautiful family visiting brautiful places. Always so inspiring, sharing just positive vibes.
Absolutely beautiful video, I think the little "hummingbirds" you saw were actually hummingbird moths! They fly similar and eat very similarly so they're confused for hummingbirds quite a lot!!
I wondered about that! I love hummingbirds and belong to fb groups but I’d never seen one like that! Never knew about moths.
What a beautiful place Tuscany is. I loved hunters hat. Thank you once again for taking us to places I will never see in person ❤️
Stunning, wish I could drive there right now. So beautiful to see. I have been to Pisa, Sienna, but the hot spring is calling me.
Hunter is charming Italy just as she is us. Now that her vocabulary is expanding beyond her adorable giggles, she's pulling even harder on my heart strings. Might need a " Hunter explores Italy" special edit version of this trip. 🤩 You are so blessed.
OMG - I am in LOVE with Hunter!!! She has just elevated your video content!!! It's truly amazing to watch your family enjoy these vacations! With our family planning an Italian Trip in 2023 - this was just perfect timing to learn and watch your adventures!!! Thanks for sharing!
Love love love all your vlogs, thank you for sharing
I really enjoyed watching this video :D cant wait for the next one
The whole video melts my heart !
Love, love, love Italy last trip was 2019.. can’t wait to get back there.
It’s a long way from NZ
Lots of memories of Pisa and Tuscany
❤️❤️. Great vlog
I absolutely love the filming and editing of your videos. You guys are so talented!
What a beautiful place to visit. Thank you for sharing 👍 🥰
Awesome vlog beautiful family ! Enjoy your Precious time together and the amazing memories you’re creating . Love and hugs ❤️❤️❤️
What a lovely video! Hunter is adorable! Love your family and dynamic. Safe travels wherever you go and are.
Wauw. Jess you sure do find the most amazing places to stay ❤️😍
Aww love Hunters Hat & Doll so cute 😊 . Brilliant footage Stephen you sure brought us the Tuscany Beauty 😍
Great video looking forward to your Next adventure. Safe travels 🥰😋
Such a beautiful video. I visited tuscany over twenty years ago and I would love to go back. I just love italy and been there many times. I am a single mom and do not have a family to travel with, and money is always an issue when it comes to travel. So I am living vicariously through you and your little family. Makes me feeling happy and sad at the same time. Thank you 🥲
this is gorgeousssss thank u so much for this video!
Amazing!!! I love the Gelato parts lol! ! ! Can’t wait for the next video!
The villa with pool was stunning. Will have to check that out sometime. Thanks for sharing such detailed views and tours.
Wow! Your vlogs are always amazing.. You made me all over excited again for our upcoming Tuscany Italy trip. 😊
P.s. love Hunter's laugh ❤️
I've been dreaming of coming to Tuscany someday. The vineyards sold me already but seeing your vlog, I never knew the walled cities are very interesting. Thank you Steven, Jess, and Hunter. I like the "helalo" of Hunter too! 😄💗
Lucky to live in a walled town and woul totally recommend it + the whole area! It's called Anghiari, near Arezzo, and the valley is called Valtiberina. Less touristy and the rest of the region!
Your videos are just mood boosters. Love every minute of it 😍😍
Back in 2019, my wife and I took a day trip from Rome to Tuscany and fell in love with the area. We absolutely plan on going back to spend a week or two...
That spring looks amazing!
We haven't watched your vlogs lately. You have so changed your style, and it is great! Loved to see Hunter having fun!
It is a wet, stormy start to the day here in Western Australia........roll on summer! But for now, thanks for the trip to Tuscany, what beautiful scenery and magnificent history to take me away from the dreary weather.
Love that you are all able to travel the world again!! I really hope you make a series on the Italian Dolomites and how you can travel there by public transport, because it is not easy to figure out the route. But the views are breathtaking!! Take care guys ❤️
I enjoyed every minute of it. Love you guys, specially princess Hunter. Enjoy
Love this video guys! I was lucky to travel all over Tuscany singing in a Capella Choir when i was 17 and some of these places brought back some fab memories! Those homemade Bruscetta and cheese looked AMAZING!
Loving these Italy videoooos!!!!
Awww Hunter's first doll and cute hat. Italy is such a special country.Enjoy it xxx
omg i'm in love with your videos. So wholesomeeee
Thank you for posting this beautiful video ! It makes me wish I was there..
Such a beautiful place , I have always dreamed of visiting Tuscany . Thank you guys for sharing it with us. But there is no beauty comparing to the beauty of Hunter’s laughter. God bless you all .
We're waiting for you 😁
I had my 2nd Covid booster on Sunday and was miserable for 2 days. Nothing was comforting except Flying the Nest videos! Rewatched your Aussie tour in Cooper. Coming back to the present with you now in Tuscany, and marveling at how Hunter has grown up since then! Lovely....Cheers! 🙋♀️
I loved the editing and sounds/music in this video!
It looks absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing. You make such a wonderful family. Jess and Steve you are amazing parents to Hunter. Take care x
Naww thank you!!!
wow, the video is just amazing :') i always admired your guys' storytelling through your videos! thank you for the amazing content
Stunning guys. After all these years, you are still my favorite travel you tubers. Fabulous as always. That church was amazing!
I just put the video on pause and looked it up.. I didn't know there were hummingbirds in Italy.. But it seems there are, and they love lavender 😊. You can see amazing photos on the net! The biritsh you tuber "Positano Diaries" went to those hot springs.. They look amazing.
There are no hummingbirds in Europe, they are night moth butterflies, e.g. Hyles gallii or Macroglossum stellatarum.
I loved traveling in Tuscany! So good to see it again.
I’m going to Pisa in 2 weeks!! So excited to see your next video, definitely going to take inspiration 😍
Great video, great editing. Well done, well done.
I’m in love 😍 with your videos! What a beautiful family you have!
Stunning Tuscany, very familiar to our past stays. We loved the Markers and WOW those tomatoes, my mouth was dribbling. Enjoy x
Everything looked amazing, the villa, the towns, the food. BUT Hunter stoled the video! So adorable! ~Cara 💖
Really enjoy your family video adventure. Your daughter is so lucky. She is getting the best experience ever and will one day, make this journey as an adult. We as a Chinese family in Far East Asia, would love to travel like this. Thank you for sharing. Your love for travelling shines with happiness & love ❤❤❤ We plan to visit Italy soon.
I love you guys so much! You literally live my dream life

Wonderful travels again! We also did the self drive tour in Tuscany. We have such fond memories of San Gimignano. We stayed in a little hotel - very close to the gelato shop. La Cisterna. Hope you enjoyed every minute!
Tuscany is definitely on my bucket list and the hot springs, also loved Hunters dolly, how cute is she with her dolly 🥰💜
The hot springs was beautiful. What a gem!
Hope you enjoy your road trip! Love your videos❤️

Beautifully captured you beautiful family.
I love the hot springs in Saturnia. Glade you enjoyed it
That night shot of the city, wow!
Wow I definitely want to explore Tuscany more and Italy in general! I've been to Pisa on a cruise and enjoyed seeing the leaning tower. Hunter is also so adorable!
Next time ,you must also visit LIVORNO ♥️🇮🇹 ( a beatiful and very important Town)and taste the " cacciucco livornese"( a soap of fish 👍)a true gastronomic excellence of Tuscany.Furthermore you must visit Volterra, Suvereto, Bolgheri and many others places in TUSCANY. Ciao
@@carlosacchelli8451 Bravo Carlo! And Amelia, don't forget Pontedera, the city where the 🛵 was born ( Piaggio museum)
Cycled Tuscany in 2018, didn't come across the jam. Would go back in a heartbeat, thank you for the video.
Such caring parents. Hunter is a lucky girl. To be around loving family members.
Just seen your Tuscany vlog. Such an amazing place, had the pleasure of visiting this lovely location in 2009, gosh quite awhile ago…we stayed in a villa in Folegnano, the northern part of Tuscany- so magical. Thanks for sharing your adventure 😁
I think this is my favorite video you guys have ever done out of the 5 years. I LOVE the magic!
Aww yay thanks so much
@@flyingthenest The color, the fun Gelato, the beauty of everything. Seriously, this is what makes your videos a delight!
