    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.

    Oman looks like a good place to visit. The tiger shark experience was so cool, and the turtles, too. The food looks good, and I'd like to try the frankincense water. I wonder how much Koa will remember from his travels when he's older? At least everything will be in his subconscious somewhere. What wonderful experiences you all have had.
