    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.

    When I planned my two month trip to Australia and New Zealand, I spent a lot of time debating rather to end the trip with bora bora or Tahiti. But ultimately decided on Cook Islands instead and had zero regrets! Such a beautiful local and cultural experience on an island paradise. And only cost me a 1/3 of a different island. Sooooo glad you guys got to enjoy the beauty of Cook Islands!

    I'm planning a trip around the world and I was a bit hesitant about faraway, remote and exotic destinations with a toddler. (2 years) But after seeing all your vlogs, with a baby and toddler!!, you have inspired me to take on all the challenges! (Am I correct that you are opting for more but shorter flights instead of one long flight with little children?) I will continue to follow all your adventures! Greetings from Belgium!

In terms of strollers/pranks we really LOVE the Graco ready2grow because it can have 2 seats (and fold with 2 seats) OR you can remove the 2nd seat and there’s a little standing platform or a little bench seat which has been fantastic for day trips with our 3 year old! Not sure if you can get that where your located but it could make one less travel bag 😂
