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.

Honestly, I developed a short attention span so I don't usually watch videos for over 15 mins long but this vlog is one of those exceptions. I enjoy every second of this. I always get to watched different Palawan vlogs but this is my first time seeing the house boat so this got me really interested and the fact that you have your cute little kiddos traveling with you made everything perfect. My favorite part was when Hunter was singing 'Part of your World' while his daddy went on diving. Baby Koa is so cute too! You really made their childhood so special and they will forever remember that feeling.

OMG, I found your channel about 4 years ago, looking thru all of your vids, seeing you already had 4 years of videos and deciding I could catchup by watching the new day’s video, and if I watched 2-3 historical ones to catch up the whole collection. I just love the progression of your channel and the ease you have expanded your family while still travelling. Hunter is one smart, wide-eyed cookie, and so much humour she has - it’s been so amazing! Seeing Hunter and Koa travelling with you and learning new things together, is just wonderful. To get to the point - I can’t believe how fast Hunter is growing and talking, how she tries almost anything to eat and such a relaxed traveller. Something about this video just feels like you’ve “arrived” at that point you wanted to, 8 years ago, when waving goodbye to your families. This is truly one of my favourite KZfaq channels, hoping we can make it to one of the group travels in 2-3 years. Much love and travel safe ❤
