This has been such a long time coming - a journey we have all been going on together - so we are SO shocked that this week we packed up our home and officially moved into Cooper the van woohoo!!
Congratulations! So exciting! Sweet Hunter and all her little giggles are just too precious. We love camping on the coast, though in Northern California, and there’s nothing better than morning coffee on the beach. Have so much fun!
I'm so happy for two strangers that I've never met that I was smiling the whole time! Can't wait for your van videos. Also, as always, Hunter is just the cutest baby.
'Fraid that's another one of those things you're supposed to know, Steven. There were people around the globe cringing when they saw the barefeet/hatchet combo.
Hunter’s face when stephen gives jess the Coffee and she doesnt get some 😂😂😂😂😂 this little girl is amazing!!! So happy for you guys! Kisses from Brazil!
Can’t believe I made a cheeky appearance on here. I was one of the flight attendants looking after Jess, was such a pleasure to meet you! 🥰 good luck on the new adventure! 😇
This was the midweek pick-me-up that we needed! We love all the little moments you included. Thanks for taking us along on this epic journey...you guys are the best!
I have been watching the van build since you started and i can't believe the travels are finally starting, i you guys and your chanel, can't wait to watch
@@yousefnoori Well according to google the perimeter of Australia's coastline is 25,760km so considering they will not exactly go around the perimeter and may add some trips inside the continent 20,000 could be a wild guess.
OMG I AM DYING TO KNOW: WHERE DO YOU GO PEE Like I know you said public bathrooms but there is none at the beach and what if someone has to go in the middle of the night????
We are all watching your 30th birthday episode, literally as this video was uploaded, and our 2 girls (ages 9 & 7) & our son (age 5) are smiling, focused, and chuckling while my wife and I enjoy our morning coffee here in San Antonio, TX. Cheers guys!
When Jess was tasting out the coffee on the beach, Hunter was looking at you two back and forth as if saying “what is that?? Where’s mine?? I don’t get one?? Really??”
@@flyingthenest did you guys knew or found out about her turning like that during the edit? She was like “wha wha what ? Mom gets her cup what about me dad?” 😂
I’ve seen on their Instagram stories, it looks like hunter sleeps in their bed, there isn’t really any room for a cot. When she gets bigger she’ll sleep in her bunk bed though.
Congrats Stephen, Jess and Hunter - good things come to those who are made to wait by bureaucracy :D PS was I the only one just a little bit freaked out by the axe + bare feet combo at 15:30 ?
I’ve always wanted to do this with my son but since I’m disabled and can’t even drive anymore, the best we’ve got is watching your videos. Good luck guys! ☺️
One of the best pieces of advice we’ve had about our little one (about six months younger than Hunter!) is to get them used to noise. Our little man has a pretty good tolerance for background noise now, though obviously loud bangs and persistent loud noise is an issue!
I am absolutely over the moon for you guys, finally getting to live out your dream, Stephen's poor face when you found out the paperwork hadn't been sent in :( I could have cried for you both. It is all behind you now and you have lots of happy memories to make and adventures to have, Happy travelling guys look forward to more videos, I must say I have missed your vlogs with Chloe! hope you can do more in the future. Ps Hunter gets cuter by the day not long now and she will be walking on her own. Take care, have fun, stay safe xxx
The video we've all been waiting for 😍 so happy for you guys, this is so exciting!!!! I think it will probably be up more around the 20,000km mark, lets say 19,784km for the fun of it 😂
Would be great if you could show us the facilities of the campsite, I know your vids are all about aesthetics but would be good if they could also be informative! Cheers guys
I figured it is like the States. There is something in every state, that you could spend 10 years traveling and never see it all. Australia is so big and so open, bet it has even more to see.
I just wanna say congratulations Jessica and Stephen you guys finally did it I can’t wait to see how’s it’s going to be out on the road for you and your beautiful family god bless you guys and your beautiful family ❤️❤️
I'm sure you are going to do the best van series I'm soooooo excited to watch every episode this one was amazing so beautiful harmonious and warm keep going guys much love from morocco MA
This has been such a long time coming - a journey we have all been going on together - so we are SO shocked that this week we packed up our home and officially moved into Cooper the van woohoo!!
I'm so excited for the road trip adventures. I can't wait!!
Love your videos hunter is so cute
I am guessing 18577 klm when you are back in Perth.
Congratulations! So exciting! Sweet Hunter and all her little giggles are just too precious. We love camping on the coast, though in Northern California, and there’s nothing better than morning coffee on the beach. Have so much fun!
Can't wait to watch all your journey/adventure and road trips on your new home.
I'm so happy for two strangers that I've never met that I was smiling the whole time! Can't wait for your van videos.
Also, as always, Hunter is just the cutest baby.
💙💙 thank you so much
Good Luck happy travels xx
This is awesome can't wait to see the Vlogs.
I'm so excited! Glad y'all are back to traveling. :-D
Hi love watching you you both are so much fun. I have gotten so much info from you. thank you. I say you will do 30,000km
Hunter is just getting cuter and cuter!
Amazing! So happy you three are on the Aussie trail to van life freedom of the open roads :)
I reckon it’s gonna be about 23,000 kms
Love you bothhh❤️❤️
15k just makes the circle. I am guessing 22k.
Mind your toes when cutting the wood🥶🥶🥶🧟🧟🧟🧟
He was just showing off
put some shoes on when you whack the axe
I have a quistoin how do you wash your clothes in a van
Steve, wear gloves when filling up
26420 km ;)
Who else randomly started watching them and now can’t stop? 💛👑💜
Not me. Been watching them for years
Me
Me I love them 😂❤️
Me too!
Me😅❤️❤️
hunter’s gonna have the best childhood ever!!
Yes. Literally seen her grow up. I wish I could travel like her and have a baby passport when I was a child. कस्तो क्युट् छ है सानो बेबी😁
@@dant9133 एक्दम क्यूट नी !
@@simranghimire5097 तिमी पनि युट्युब भिडियो हरु बनाउँदो रैछौ है। Best of luck.
AGREE
Fr
Hunter is still a year old but she's already living my dream life
Same. I'm jealous af
I have the same life
Same
@@avahmundine7825 that's cool. Good for you
@@carylmaisie7058 is
I would highly recommend wearing shoes when using any sharp tool.
'Fraid that's another one of those things you're supposed to know, Steven. There were people around the globe cringing when they saw the barefeet/hatchet combo.
😂 So many people yelling at screen in unison.
close toed shoes too
That's a hatchet (one handed) not an axe (two handed), put shoes on unless you want to loose a part a a foot, if the blade glances off wood.
I had a close shave once wearing sandals so I second this post’s warning 😂
Hunter’s face when stephen gives jess the Coffee and she doesnt get some 😂😂😂😂😂 this little girl is amazing!!! So happy for you guys!
Kisses from Brazil!
Lekker!♥️🇿🇦
Would be nice to see your trip on a map.
+1 this
Also, another +1 for the "lekker", I miss ZA bad
This is one time we can truly say, “lekker by die see” 😆 🏕 🌊
These are filmed so beautifully. I can’t imagine how much work to make these little movies. Thanks for sharing your creativity and love.
When Stephen gives Jess the coffee towards the end is it just me or does Hunter look like baby Yoda from the Mandelorian?
Hehehe
Can’t believe I made a cheeky appearance on here. I was one of the flight attendants looking after Jess, was such a pleasure to meet you! 🥰 good luck on the new adventure! 😇
Hello 👋
Van life won’t be easier probably specifically with the kiddo! But u guys can definitely do it! All the best! 👍
This was the midweek pick-me-up that we needed! We love all the little moments you included. Thanks for taking us along on this epic journey...you guys are the best!
Absolutely. Definitely needed this uplifting content today.
I have been watching the van build since you started and i can't believe the travels are finally starting, i you guys and your chanel, can't wait to watch
kilometer counter - "odometer"!
I think the total distance traveled would be 20000km
If you follow the coast road all around (from Perth and back), there are 14.000 km, so 20.000 sounds good (with additional trips around the road).
@@alinam5092 6,000 extra km seems like a lot, I'm thinking around 17,000. We'll see!
@@yousefnoori I think it depends if they will also go inside the continent or they will only follow the coast.
@@yousefnoori Well according to google the perimeter of Australia's coastline is 25,760km so considering they will not exactly go around the perimeter and may add some trips inside the continent 20,000 could be a wild guess.
@@alinam5092 knowing the tangents these three go off on, 20,000 is a good estimate.
Watching you chop that wood in bare feet I was like: ‘put some F-ing shoes on or you’ll chop your foot’
Hello 👋
Same! I literally said out loud “YOUR TOES!!!!” 😅
Omg I’m early!!! Hope you guys have amazing memories in this van and that your family stays safe!💕
It’s comical that square space is your sponsor and you live in a.... square space
OMG I AM DYING TO KNOW: WHERE DO YOU GO PEE Like I know you said public bathrooms but there is none at the beach and what if someone has to go in the middle of the night????
There were toilets and showers at our campsite 💙
We are all watching your 30th birthday episode, literally as this video was uploaded, and our 2 girls (ages 9 & 7) & our son (age 5) are smiling, focused, and chuckling while my wife and I enjoy our morning coffee here in San Antonio, TX. Cheers guys!
Good afternoon
Almost positive, barefoot chopping wood not recommended.
When Jess was tasting out the coffee on the beach, Hunter was looking at you two back and forth as if saying “what is that?? Where’s mine?? I don’t get one?? Really??”
I’m guessing 22,000 km but a bit more if you do Tasmania as well
stephen trying to use the axe was hilarious!!
i feel you man! adults are just grown up babies...
Watching Stephen make a fire with his pants soaked in gasoline gave me a major anxiety attack 😂😂
Baby Hunter turned her head 5 times when Stephen gave Jess her coffee. 😂
😂😂😂 wants her babychino
@@flyingthenest did you guys knew or found out about her turning like that during the edit? She was like “wha wha what ? Mom gets her cup what about me dad?” 😂
So does Hunter sleep w you guys? I’m assuming she doesn’t sleep on that shelf.
If you watch previous van building you will see, there's a small bed above their bed 👍🏼
@@yestovanilla ya I know. That’s what I’m talking about. I wouldn’t put my baby on that little shelf to sleep personally.
I’m pretty sure they have a travel cot until Hunter is bigger 😊
I’ve seen on their Instagram stories, it looks like hunter sleeps in their bed, there isn’t really any room for a cot. When she gets bigger she’ll sleep in her bunk bed though.
Oh finally it’s happening can’t wait to see you guys travelling every nooks and corner of Australia ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m guessing 25,000kms yay!!! Have fun 😃
Lot's of love from KENYA🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Let the glamping begin! Adventure awaits.
I don't know, but when I am seeing Hunter, my heart melts ❤ So adorable.
Ahh I'm one of the first and you guys are so cool love you hunters so cute I've been waiting for this video for a long gggggggg time
Congrats Stephen, Jess and Hunter - good things come to those who are made to wait by bureaucracy :D
PS was I the only one just a little bit freaked out by the axe + bare feet combo at 15:30 ?
Hahaha Jess said the exact same thing when she watched this back!
Yeah, I freaked out too....
🔥🔥Thank you both for another great video always enjoyable. Keep safe and keep making content🔥🔥
I’ve always wanted to do this with my son but since I’m disabled and can’t even drive anymore, the best we’ve got is watching your videos. Good luck guys! ☺️
Good morning
I'm guessing you are going to travel 16,380km around Aus!!! Please come visit the sapphire coast of Aus you guys would love it :) happy travels
One of the best pieces of advice we’ve had about our little one (about six months younger than Hunter!) is to get them used to noise. Our little man has a pretty good tolerance for background noise now, though obviously loud bangs and persistent loud noise is an issue!

How are they going to deal with the bathroom situation??
I would have to a bathroom installed in the van no way w/out one!
Hunter’s walk while holding Steven’s hand was the highlight of the video!🥺❤️🥺❤️
😍😍
Yay!! Waiting, waiting and waiting... Vanlife begins!!! Yay!! Enjoy y'all! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ahhhh it’s sooo exciting!!! VANLIFE VIBESSS!!! 💜💜 Go you driving the van. I never drive with the caravan on!
Hunter is having the best time. So adorable!!
The way Hunter looked at coffee..she really wanted some sip
24,500kms!! you guys will take all the detours
7:34 it's around 30,000 Kilometers. Don't ask me how I know how..... Its not because I just watched the final episode and revisited this one...
😉
27,392 kilometers ! You all have so much fun and remember no matter what happens it's all good.
Ok, I would have put some shoes on before using that axe ... I was worried he was going to chop his toes
Loved the vlog so exciting!
Ohh I have an unfair advantage! I’ve done 3 laps of Australia so I know how much is the average kilometres 🤣🤣🌴🌴
OMG, that little kangaroo ❤️. So happy for you starting a new journey
So excited to watch this video and I love your content! Is your podcast still going? I miss it so much and I loved listening to it
Now that we are in the van we want to bring it back 💛
@@flyingthenest yay! I’m so excited to listen to it again! I’ve loved every episode
The video we've all been waiting for 😍 so happy for you guys, this is so exciting!!!! I think it will probably be up more around the 20,000km mark, lets say 19,784km for the fun of it 😂
Im going to say it will take you guys 14 935 km
I would recommend getting a magnetic bug/fly net for your back and side doors :) we got ours for $20 from Bunnings and they are great!
Oooh need to check out Bunnings next time we see one
Have a fun road trip I think it will take 16 km to get around Australia 🇦🇺 have fun love ❤️ your videos
I always watch this video
So glad you are on the road! And so sorry about the delay- how frustrating! Safe travels!
Hello 👋
Loved seeing Hunter cutie walking holding daddy’s hand and loved the on the beach coffee ☕️ set up🥰🥰
A friend of mine took 25,000 km in 3 and falf month.
I'm guessing at least 30,000 for a year trip.
You were right. :) Nice work
Yay! Congratulations! So excited to watch your van life journey! Have lots of fun! Can't wait to see all of the adventures!
Let the adventure begin! Congratulations guys. Stay safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪
Where will be Hunter bed when she grow up?
Would be great if you could show us the facilities of the campsite, I know your vids are all about aesthetics but would be good if they could also be informative! Cheers guys
Yes I agree and also more details about where they are staying and how much it costs.
OMG hi I love you guys so much Hunter is sooooooooooo cuteeeeeeeeeeeeee love you guys
Australia is huge. You will have so many places to explore inside Australia.
I figured it is like the States. There is something in every state, that you could spend 10 years traveling and never see it all.
Australia is so big and so open, bet it has even more to see.
Also, you guys are amazing parents. I MEAN IT ❤️✨
Omg Jess should never drive 🤦🏻♀️😂
😂😂😂🙈
I saw the video you came to Turkey by chance 2 years ago. Now I'm very happy to see you. Your baby is so cute by the way, I'm Turkish.🇹🇷
Stephen have you thought about a Moka Pot for your coffees ?
One question where's the toilet
steve "oh there's a kangaroo" so calmly
I love my vanlife journey
