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.

HEY Everyone!! sorry for the delay on this vlog - had a bad batch of Wifi! but we hope you all enjoy this more RAW look at our day - sadly this is one of the last of our van life videos here in the US - hope you've been enjoying them :)
Your van life journey has been great. Thank You for sharing with us. Much aloha to you and the family.
Hello, how many states you visited during this van tour?
Love each and every one of your vlogs. 🙏☀️☺️☺️ Thank you for sharing with us. Looking forward to watching the next ones. Whether it’s van life or any other vlog, I love them all. Cheers! 😊
You are playing ladder ball. Best game ever, camping or family gatherings
these vlogs were so awesome! thank you for sharing them with us and giving us a glimpse of the journey :)
I got so emotional when Stephen said that this moment was his favorite. How sweet!
How about van life Europe? Every time you cross a border everything is so different, the language, the food, the culture, the people, it is such a joy! x
Yes!
No, Europe doesn't have tourist/camping infrastructures like USA. In US everything is accessible and easy to reach, or got info at any time.
Love when you do van videos. ❤
@@user-ie9fv1dj3d Plenty of campings in every country well suited for vans/rv's.
@@user-ie9fv1dj3d not true, soo many camping places in Europe
These children are so so lucky. Not because they get to travel the world, but because they have you two as parents
Hunter saying "No worries!" in her little voice and accent is the cutest thing I've heard in a while. 😍
The bond you guys have with your kids is just amazing. Watching Steve and Hunter making smores together brought tears to my eyes. You are incredible parents giving your children the best possible life. Incredible humans i adore you guys! ❤
I swear Koa s hair changes drastically with every Vlog 😂 the adorable lil muffin Hunter is adorable too but the hair doesn’t change as much 😊
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!!
How is it possible to love you guys more?? My goodness, God has blessed you all so much. And you have blessed all of us with your videos. Thank you so much. "Daddy, scoot a little closer" Love, love, love!!
I love the pace and relaxed family time! I hope that you do more family van vlogs...thanks for this!
Extremely relaxing having, from time to time, a "day in our life" format
Hunter is such incredible, beautiful and independent lil girl, Koa is so cute with those big beautiful blue eyes and time is going by so fast! Great job parents!!!❤😊
Hunter has grown up so much 🩷
Under 5 min
👇
sooo much!!
Another sweet video. I love it when " we just hang out together". Melts my heart,just like the chocolate in your s'mores.😂❤
The game is called Ladder Ball. So fun....
Hunter voice is so cute and raspy I just can’t wait to hear koa’s little voice!
You both are such great parents. It must be amazing for Hunter to grow up feeling so heard and included. And I am amazed at how she does the same for little Koa. Beautiful family 🥰
Hunter saying "No worries" 😂😂😂❤❤❤
😂😂
This has been a fantastic series. Your family dynamic is so special & it's great to see
I just thought about how awesome this will be for hunter and koa; to have those videos as memories of the adventures they had with their parents 😍 and maybe even share them with their kids. I wish I could have that but I guess RUclips wasn’t a thing back in the ‘old days’ 😜
We love your DITL videos and YES we would love to see more van life series!!!!
The van life family videos are my favourite ❤❤❤❤ 🎉🎉🎉🎉
awww so glad!! thank you!
Can't believe Baby Koa is almost one... I have enjoyed watching him grow, Hunter turning into a little girl, a very clever little girl mind you... You guys are so blessed to be able to do this with your babies... And I for one love the van series you do... I like the slower pace of it... Cheers for sharing...
Stephan and Jess you are the most wonderful parents 🫶 just watching you having family time
Just brought a tear to my eyes . Your such a joy to watch but fully appreciate its also hard work for you too
Like any parents will know 😜.Hunter and koa are so adorable,Hunter interacting with your conversations so sweet .
Beautiful view you had wauw😍.
Have really enjoyed your Van series in America , seeing it through your eyes the joy and excitement it brought .
Looking forward to hear / seeing what your next Adventures are .Safe travels Thank you again for taking us
A long on your journey 🥰
Hunter and Koa are growing up fast! And they are so behave all the time! Great parenting🥰❤️
You are so kind!! and yes they need to slown - growing way to fast!
I don’t want this American Van Life series to end!! I live in Florida & hope to see you at Disney someday! 💕💕💕💕
Baby koa’s laugh always makes me laugh 🤣 he gets me every time I LOVE YOU CUTE AUSSIES❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙
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.
Oh that warmed my heart when she hit the plate! My dad did that ALL the time with me!
I have shed the most tears with this video than I ever have watching your videos! It makes me want to just savour every minute with my babies (3yo and 11 months!) as well !
I just adore your little family. I'll watch whatever y'all put up 😁Van life, plane life, any and all❤❤❤
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. ❤
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🥂🥰
aww thanks mate so glad you enjoyed it! yes will explain all why it ended next episode but loved it so far!
Loved daddy/daughter time.....brings back tons of great memories 🤗💞
Ladder toss!!! The top rung is worth 3 points and then 2 and 1 as you go further down. I lovw this game and play it on the beach with my dad.
Hello from Chattanooga Tennessee. Love all of the videos. Family time is so special 😺💖🎉
I remember metal cups getting too hot but you drank from them straight away. Fun seeing an animated baby brother. Hunter is a big act to follow. Cheers.
haha same! so many aussie camping trips burning my mouth as a kid with hot chooclate!
You’re giving your kids the best childhood ❤
Love this! I LOVED when you did it in cooper and am so glad you did this type of video again!
Id love to see some more cruise travel and van travel! Watching your family grow has been so awesome!
what a nice day, i can't wait till Koa is talking and running around, i have a feeling he will have a lot to say LOL.
I know you must have normal moments of frustration but you seem to really take advantage of all the joy there is to find. It’s wonderful to watch your family have fun and grow. 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!🧡🖤🧡
If I'm being honest ur guys accents keep me coming back for more. U guys r so sweet, loving & adventurous I love listening to ur daughter talk, cuteness overload. See ya on the next one...
Cute toddler 🥰cutie baby 🥰 cute little girl 🥰 loves adventure 🥰 beautiful family 🥰
Awesome video as always guys. Sitting here in a cold, wet, predawn Perth morning (yuck winter lol) watching you guys play, learn and enjoy the big world that is out there is a wonderful way to take me from where I am to places I will never go. 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.
Ohh how sweet your Hunter sweet pie and Koa ❤ I loved to watch your van videos series 😂😂
Love the van life videos. Please do more! 😊 love watching your adventures x
I did enjoy watching a 'normal' day! Thank you for sharing.
New subscriber here. I love van life videos. Now I can go back to the beginning and watch all the van trip in the US 😊
I love the van series, houseboat videos and long train journeys. More of those please 😊 I also really appreciate the raw "everday" videos once in awhile 😊
Hello and good morning. My wife and I have been following you for a few years. You and your family put out a fantastic show. My wife is your biggest fan. Please reply a "hello Linda" to her and say a few nice things to her. She loves you guys. Aloha from the big island.
hello Linda
loved seeing this wholesome video of you all! beautiful peaceful family day - the ones that make a life. Love xxx
I'd absolutely love for you guys to hang out in the states for a while, there is definitely so much more to explore!
I loved that you tried Jiffy Pop. My grandma knew the man who invented it! She was a friend of his mother. He was from LaPorte, IN, my hometown!❤
OMGosh you all are too cute for words. 😍😍😍I loved watching your first experience with Jiffy popcorn! So much fun to cook with kids around. Looking forward to seeing your next vlog. Safe travels!
Loving more van life and loving see you explore Americas National Parks with you adorable family!!!
When the kids are adults, they’re gonna love the videos!
aww we hope so!
That was so comforting to watch! 🥰
Loved this video and love your family !!
Thank you so much!!
This was so wholesome 🥹
You two are both incredible parents. Sending lots of love from FL! 💕
Whatever fits your family. I’ve watched you for years now and I will continue van or boats or planes .😊
I love watching you guys! I've been watching for many years and seen you both grow and your family grow. I've cried when you found out you were pregnant both times. I have enjoyed the van trips but I love watching anything you guys do. Can't wait to see the next adventure x
Really beautiful vlog. Just loved the rawness and the bonding between all of you!
Love watching your daily van life! 🥰
Love the family life type videos guys. Makes it feel more achievable to travel with little kids. X
A few suggestions that I haven't seen mentioned
Mauritius - Direct flight from Perth could then jump to some "off the beaten track" options like Seychelles, Madagascar
Hong Kong - Tick another Disney off the list
Penang, Malaysia - Insane street food
One of my absolute fave videos of you all! Just perfect..real…and adorable ! Safe journey beautiful fam! Love from Oz!
thank you! so glad you enjoyed it!!
Our family loves KOA campgrounds as well. Have you all looked into the KOA Resort level campgrounds or lists of the top KOA Holiday campground locations? Some of them have very fun amenities like mini golf, pancake breakfasts, s’mores, a lazy river. Worth looking into Mount Rushmore, Pigeon Forge, Glacier NP KOAs, etc. There are even KOAs in Canada as well
Love the van life with the kiddos! Hope you have more of these videos in the near future.
I so enjoy watching your van life videos!
Yay so glad to hear!!
You can find 3 in 1 sticks at like Asian supermarkets or there’s instant cappuccino mix in Walmart it just isn’t in a small packet
Best part was watching you try and figure out Jiffy Pop! A true representation of everyone's first experience.
Lovely vlog of family chill days ...No!! not only 10 summers they want to spend with you!!..it will be longer if you do stuff they enjoy! 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.
Just the cutest video ☺️ A nice relaxing family day, love it! ❤
Delayed vid means delayed watching haha so don’t worry it’s all okay! This one was fun and just so sweet :) your harmony and love for the little things is inspiring
Thank you for showing us Americans how to make the jiffy popcorn. We bought some last year and haven't tried it yet. Love your little family ❤
I love the van life series you all do ❤ your family togetherness makes my heart smile enjoy every moment ❤
❤❤ aww youre too sweet!
While you were trying campfire popcorn for the first time, I was trying Milo for the first time. It is so fun to try new things!
I loved watching your journey especially through the eyes of foriegners..laughed so hard with the jiffy pop popcorn. I was like take the cardboard off...all good though!! Your trip was fabulous to watch especially since I have not traveled in that area of the country. Excited for next journey.
I enjoy the travel with raw life mixed into every video best!.....we popped jiffy pop all the time when I was a kid in the USA.....like, 60 years ago!
Crikey Jess how do you manage to look so glamourous in a van with 2 kids! Amazing.
I remember metal cups getting too hot but you drank from them straight away. Fun seeing an animated baby brother. Hunter is a big act to follow. Cheers. Graham is one syllable, no ham. We call fire starter twigs kindling. Kindle is for reading books.
Your vanlife in the states is so cool and i am from the states and never seen the places yall gone too and its just really cool the places yall have been to on your vanlife trip. The kids are just having such a fun time also.
Greetings from Moab!!! 🌵🌵you guys are such great parents!!!!! always look forward to getting to watch your videos each week :) my kiddos and I have been a big fan of y'all for the past couple of years. :) you post really great content.
Aww thank you so much for sharing this beautiful family journey with us and you guys are so amazing keep up the good work
Love this vlog style!❤
I love seeing you here in the Rockies, just letting yourselves decompress. Life is a balancing act. I also love the Euro/Asian travel. But travel is stressful and you must take enough down time to recharge fully.
OMG you guys and the Jiffy Pop was priceless!!!!!
You are both such AMAZING parents!!! ❤
KOA's are great! Sorry your van is so cumbersome getting it set up/down each eve & morning. The gift you are giving your children and the education of experiencing so much diversity of cultures and climates is priceless. You are showing them life is boundless- just have a dream. All the best to you and your lovely family. PS Shake the Jiffy Pop while on the grate the entire time or it can burn the kernels.
haha thanks for the advice: question - is Jiffy pop normal popcorn or do most people just get microwavable popcorn?
@@flyingthenestMost people just get microwave popcorn now. Jiffy Pop is more of a fun novelty to have the experience of pre-microwave popcorn 🍿😃 Fun to do when camping or having an outdoor party with a fire pit. Love you guys, thanks for the great video.
Yes please keep doing van life!!! My favorite videos hands down
aww so glad!!
The game at the KOA with the golf balls on a string we call hillbilly golf. I am in N. Indiana. Some other states in the USA may call it something else.
I love watching the day off days every once and a while. I love that you would it be called "road school" as opposed to homeschool.
I'd love to see your next van life tour be of the whole UK! I know you've done trips here before, and some shorter van trips. It would so cool if you had 3-6 weeks to cover as much of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland as you can!
So cozy for the kids living like this ❤
You are just fantastic xx love your adventures xx you see and find the best places, and the food you find omg, you are just a beautiful family xx your children are rich beyond rich for what you are giving them with these experiences….
Love the van series. Actually love all of your series. Keep it up.
yay so glad you enjoyed them!! one more van video coming this weekend!
I just finished watching another fantastic episode of your van life here in my country! You make it look so fun to travel with 2 little kids. What an adventure your little family had! Next time you come to the states I hope you visit our great state of Oklahoma!
You both are the very best parents, I don't wish to say a single bad word about either of you BUT could you sort out the kiddies hair going over their eyes all the time, it must drive them both crazy...That's it, every thing else is more than perfect, you both do the MOST amazing job...The bit where Steve said this is my favourite bit was the sweetest moment... to join all the other precious times they share ...those two are gorgeous together 🥰
Love this inside look into your lives. Thank you for sharing it with us. The ladder game we call it redneck golf in North Carolina. I would love to watch you van life New England, especially Maine Vermont and New Hampshire. I have been following flying the nest for years and you have made traveling with kids look so seamless and fun. Always looking forward to the next video.
Love you all trying Jiffy Pop - a real American treat!
