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.
For 34 years, I was a flight att, 22234hours and 22 minutes of flight=927 days=allmost 3 years in the air. In my career I tried my best for my beloved passengers and I did my best for families with children to fly toghether.I convinced { with wine, chochalate,} the others to change the seats and let them be reunited.All the best beauties!
Who here is waiting for several years from now when Hunter is the star of her own channel and second channel to mom and dad's .
😂😂
Meee 😂😂
😅 won't be very long now! She's nearly ready to do a travelogue!
So digging Hunters Retro pj with Bananas in Pj (from my childhood song and all)
Something I needed today. Sundays aren't the same without my fav UA-cam fam.. 🤟💜
🙌
Hunter stole the show again! Adorable 😊. Koa is so quite and chilled...can't wait to see the dynamics between them when he can walk and talk.
LOL Stephen... The 7-lanes welcome to 'Murica literally got me laughing out loud!
😂😂😂
Koa is daddy’s twin. Wow. ❤
It is so amazing how much Hunter is Jess and Koa is Steven. Hunter definitely has dad's sense of adventure and mom's kind heart. Well, both of them have kind hearts and souls, I know this from first-hand brief encounter.
Happy 1st Birthday Koa!!!!! Wishing you a year full of joy as you travel the world with your mom,dad and big sister Hunter!!!! We all love you ❤❤❤
Aww thanks so much ❤️❤️
Love seeing you go back to places you've been already, hearing the back story and the reflection on where you've come, it is such great story telling.
I love how Hunter dips her taco in the guacamole and then takes a bite out of the other side! LOL!! You guys have so much energy!! It's awesome!
I love how the best part of the morning, is seeing Koa on your lock screen. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOA!!!! ❤❤
Happy 1st birthday for yesterday koa can't wait to see you walking round ❤❤❤
Thank you Pam!!
I love watching videos on Hawaii. I can’t believe it’s been 3 years since you went there with Hunter! Hawaii is our favourite destination - especially Oahu. We have been to Hawaii 6 times with kids and without. The first time was just hubby and I in our early 20’s as a quick stopover on a trip to LA and then on to Europe where we spent a month backpacking. That was also our first time in Disneyland and we vowed to go back to both magical places when we had kids. It wasn’t until 16 years later that we took a trip with our 3 kids aged 10, 12 and 16 to San Fran, LA/Disneyland and then onto Maui and Oahu. Maui was beautiful but we fell in love with Oahu. We always stay in Waikiki and hire a car to drive around the island. We went back with the kids 3 years later after a trip to Disneyworld, then again in 2017 just hubby and I for my 50th. Again in 2018 with our youngest on the way back from a White Christmas in Canada and 4 days in Disneyland over New Years; and the last year again just me and hubby for no reason other than it was our first trip of choice after Covid.
Filling up our Sunday with sunshine ☀️ Thank you 🙏🏼
Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧
Naww thanks for watching Sabrina
You dreamt it and living it. Wishing you the best Flying the Nest. ❤️
Can we just admire how much hunters personality is growing ❤️
Koas face going down the water slide had me dying😂😂😂
What a sweet, easy going family. I love your vlogs..... Started seeing them on FB and decided to like and subscribe. Now I just need to find time to binge watch from the beginning 😅🤗💞
You two are such an amazing team!
aww thanks so much!!
such a nice, fun video!
Such cute kids, such great parents, such fun videos, such fun trips!❤
I’ve been following you the whole 9 years!!❤
❤️❤️❤️
I really appreciate the way you show your kids. I mean I guess the "safest" would be not to show them at all, but men, that would be such a bummer!! They are so cute and make your videos so much fun!
But you don't show the negative sides, vulnerable moments, tantrums, sicknesses etc.
Just the fun sides and giggles. Thank you for your videos. ❤😊
Aww thank you so much for sharing this beautiful family journey with us
Thanks for watching! ❤️
@@flyingthenest you’re welcome anytime I really enjoy your videos and content
How fun. Hawaii is great. Enjoy ☺️
Thank you ❤️
Happy 1 st Birthday koa hope you had a wonderful day with the family 💕.
What a trip 😮 But Hunter & Koa did so well ( mummy & Daddy too with the lack of sleep 😴 )
Hope you managed to get some sleep .Hawaii looks absolutely amazing just seeing the Clip of you back at the Beginning of your Travel adventure where have the years Gone 😜
Looking forward to to your Next video. Safe travels 🥰
Aloha. Did you notice any major differences upon your return to Hawaii? Costs? The beach you went to has had major shark activity lately. I have noticed much more crime and traffic. I live on Maui and we are having the same issues lately. Why did they remove the seating at the Acai Bowl place? After covid some places had to back to old rules on seating outside. Have you noticed more covid lately in your travels? Love your videos! Brave to travel with the little ones in tow. Looking forward to part two of Hawaii!😊😊❤❤ Mahalo
such a perfectly timed video! my fiancé and I heading to Hawaii for the first time after just getting engaged cant wait to visit this beautiful island!! thanks for all your Hawaii recommendations - looking forward to watching all of the rest of your Hawaii vids!
Thanks for another upload! You guys are the best part of my week! Some day I would definitely love to give you guys a hug in person! Lots of love 💕
You're the best!!!
@@flyingthenest Feel the same about you guys!! Happiest birthday to Koa!
Brave!! Wow your kiddos killed that time change. You guys have mastered traveling different time zones. This would kick my butt. Coffee is a must after a long travel like that. Nothing like traveling to lay down and still feel like you are traveling. It's like being a a boat all day, when you lay down you still feel like you are on the boat swaying back and forth while laying in bed lol. Wow what an amazing place to have such wonderful memories for your family!! A place that started with you both, then Hunter, and now Koa!!!!
Flying the Nest!
First would love to give thanks for the educational aspects of the world ❤❤
Always knew from the beginning of the vlogs the journeys which has been conducted.
As a security guard in training now, I realize there are a lot of hate crimes going on in the world and it is sad knowing there are individuals who fall victims of these acts.
Glad knowing everyone is safe and sound and smiling!
There are a million emotions in the world and still choose to be happy!
Proud of your journeys together!
❤❤
I absolutely Love Australia! Such an amazing and wonderful country!
I cannot believe how fast time has gone. I would swear it wasn’t a year ago you were there with little miss Hunter. As always, thank you for sharing your joy 🧡🖤🧡
They are going to look back on this in years to come as some of their fondest family memories ❤
This was so cute!! all that food looks amazing, makes me want to go back to Hawaii just to try it! Also, the girl sitting next to Jess on the flight to Hawaii is a friend of mine! so funny!
Stayed at this hotel with my wife and daughter in '13 for her 13th birthday. We loved the hotel, the non-stop Hawaiian Airlines flight to Honolulu from Phoenix, and took the sub ride, toured Pearl Harbor, and visited the Polynesian Cultural center during our week there. We swam mostly in the Pacific, just in front of the hotel, finding it warmer than the hotel pools, and we remember the hotel fireworks.
My wife always organized our Disney trips, I organized our Oahu trip, though I miss my daughter being as young as yours, your daughter, lol, 'channels' the way my daughter was at that age, she lights up the hotel rooms you share with her and brightens the day. I love the expression of your other child, my daughter's first vacation was about that age and her expression was juz' the same.
Happy birthday Koa!!
Thanks so much!!
How nice to see you guys again! What a great idea to visit Hawaii. 😍🧡🌞
Thank you 😊😊
That Hilton village resort is awesome
There’s a new baby ❤️ awww congratulations…
Hehe yep his 1 year old now
Oahu was my home for six years, I love watching your family visit. Aloha🌺 if you guys visited the windward side of the island it doesn’t feel busy like Honolulu it feels more like Ohana, community❤ the best beach is in lanikai a small private beach that all year round is calm and also has the most beautiful views of the mokes. It also has the now famous pill box hike where you get beautiful views with an easy hike, well easy for locals 🤭
Also the best shaved ice on the island in my opinion is actually a food truck in Kaneohe bay, it’s also more affordable and huge! They park next to the Kaneohe bay golf course, they also have mini golf for the kids
Such great traveler ! Kao has so much hair and seems so easy going. Hunter is talking so much! So much fun
They’re both getting so good now!!
Koa's eye eyes wee just HUGE going through that water pipe!
Family Goals ❤
I’m cryingggg I haven’t watched your guys videos in a bit and omg hunter and Koa have gotten so big 😭 especially koa the last time I saw him he was tiny! 💗
Aww thanks so much for coming back 😊❤️
@@flyingthenest I will definitely go back and watch the ones I missed, I love ya’lls channel and even though I’m only 14 I hope I can do this with my future family 💗
Our new favorite place is Kauai. Something about the authentic small town Hawaii that stole our hearts.
Sounds like you had a “Ground Hogs Day!” Lol 😂 😅
😂😂
Absolutely Love Love Hawaii, specially the pineapple ice cream. Congrats on waking up and packing at 5;36am.Absolutely loved the coffee reel. Boarding and leaving on your 1ST flight. You made it to Australia. Hunter opens the door to the hotel room. Last flight YA. Kid’s slept while adults stayed awake. Hunter said Holly gosh interning the hotel room in Hawaii. Yum Yum ice cream. Delicious pineapple.YA swimming in the ocean. Mom gets sat on laying in the sand by the kids. Love tacos.Absolutely Loved Every Second. //. Absolutely Outstanding From Start To Finish
You so deserved your time in Hawaii after the traveling.Happy Birthday Koa.🎉🎂😀
Just love your family love your videos Koa is so cute happy birthday
Thanks so much 😊
Omg, Hunter! :D :D But Koa is getting there as well!!!
He is!!!
I have been watching all your videos from past 9 years !!! ❤❤❤ to you all from India 🇮🇳
The aloha you have for HI is my favorite to see❤
Hehe we love Hawaii
So fun!
So fun!
Jess, you’ve just been dubbed the title “ultimate fun mom”.❤ I loved you bringing cake pops and the ice cream at the beach. And those tacos…yum!!😋
Hehe !! Yay love that
11:30 That's emotional
When I saw the title I thought you were opposite ends of the plane 😂. When you said it’s been 3 years since you were last in Hawaii I was shook! It feels like last year that I watched those vlogs 😱
Hehe nah just next to each other 😊
I LOVE NORTH SHORE! Always stay @ Turtle Bay.
It’s so good up there!!
Not exactly the destination i thought was next, but it still fits! Haha! Hawaii is so amazing! I haven't been back since I was 7 years old.
Hehe we have some really fun US stuff coming up
@flyingthenest oh i know! Im just reserving my comments until the episodes drop for my complete comments.
I love how family orientated you are, both your kids are so adorable and hunter has grown up so much. She’s a little princess ☺️ It’s a dream of mine to go to Hawaii with my family
would love some comfy clothing travel tips by jess ❤ love your dressing style!
I genuinely don't know how you guys do it...we had a day flight from London to Dubai with just one 6 month old in business class and we were struggling 🤣😂 And to stay on top of all the socials and video editing! Fair play 👏
Isn’t that taco place the best 💕 Best tacos I have ever tasted
Can’t believe it’s your first time trying shaved ice with condensed milk lol
May I please ask, what hotels you stayed in while in Hawaii? Feeling anxious planning our first Hawaii trip^^. Thank you! Love your videos, so happy you got to visit my home country in the past- Kazakhstan :)
Super cute, ❤ your family
You are so kind❤️❤️
It would be so fun to have a cookout with u while ur on Oahu!
16 hours.. i'd love too but idk if i can handle it!!! 😩
I was just in Oahu about a month ago. I wish I knew about some of these spots.
Aww hope you had a good time!!
Koa is adorable
🥰🥰
Do you have any advice for a toddlers first flight, anything we need to make it easier
I can't wait to see you in greenland 😊😊😊
Please go in greenland
Have fun there I love you 😊
Honestly it’s on our 2024 bucket list just trying to make it work!! So expensive 😂
Hunter is a pro at traveling.
She’s getting so good at travelling now
It would be so cool to see you guys rent a van in the US and cross the country !!
😉😉
Oh my GOODNESS I love their bananas in pyjamas pyjamas 😋😍
Hehe!! Steve has matching too 😉
@@flyingthenest I love that! I’m in Canada, and that was a show when I was little (I’m 30 now) is it still on tv in Australia!? Thanks for replying I love watching you guys xo :)
SWEET COUPLE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh wow, hehe I don't know how you guys do it 🤣 you are a inspirational travel family for a want to be mum like me who also loves travelling hehe, thank you for sharing this,your vlogs are always filled with so much joy, happiness and inspiration! YOU DA BEST 🌷🌷🌷
Aww you’re so kind!! At the end of the day the long flights are worth it when you finally get to your destination and you forget all bout it
That is so true! It's worth it in the end 😍🌷@@flyingthenest
Where did you find those cute banana in pyjamas pjs for the kids? I would love to get my kiddo a set.
It’s an Aussie store called Peter Alexander but they bring out new styles every week so I don’t think they would sell this anymore!
you should go to pearl harbor
We have been!! 9 years ago! I think we will wait till the kids are older to revisit!
I love that Hunter is getting a really interesting accent because of all her traveling at a young age! Her partner in crime will develop one too!
Hehe can’t wait for little Koa to start talking
How are those kids coping with the jet lags? Jet lags are probably tougher on the adults.
Not to bad!! Just gonna fight through it
What are the dates time line you were in the Cook Islands please. Want to go there next year with my husband. Thank you Aloha
Second week of January 😊
your kind are time traveller now lol
Bucket list hotel 🤔🤭. Hoping my guess which hotel that might be is correct.
Hehe what’s your guess
They are staying in the rainbow tower, it’s beautiful. It has great views and it’s own man made lagoon
They are staying in the rainbow tower by Hilton Hawaiian village, they have great views and a man made lagoon that’s cute for kids
It's probably a far cry 🙈. The bucket list family. If the pun is intended.@@flyingthenest
❤❤❤
Oh man, if I was one of the people in the row with you (in the middle section OR the lady by the window) I would have totally given up my seat so that you both and your babies could be seated together.
❤
❤️❤️
What hotel is this?!
Hilton Waikiki!
👍😊🙋👏
Oops I was not the first to like but I was number 570 to like 👍
Thanks 😊
What an amazing memories you are creating with your kids, wish you guys all the best, i really wished if people of Ga za whould be able to travel like this but Isra el is keeping 2 million people in Ga za in an open air jail, the past 6 months Israel had ki lled 14 THOUSAND CHILD in Ga za !! Starbucks and McDonald’s have been OPENLY financing the Israeli army 💔 it broke my heart when I saw you shopping from Starbucks with your kids because it reminded me of all the kids Is rael k illed 💔 Please boycott and support local businesses instead
Jess looks tan
I'm amazed how well everyone handled all the time changes. Great video. PS... I saw on Instagram that you are with Endless Adventure. Enjoy your time with them. I found you way back with your Colab with them, Kinging It and Way Away.
Aww no way you have been around for a LONG time! That was like 6+ years ago!
👍😆🤣
😊👍
You are so spoiled I’ve traveled alone with 4 boys many times
Still drinking Starbucks?
