Күн бұрын

As our toddler has begun the early stages of walking and our van breaking we are finding it a lot harder to do van life with our baby.
In today's episode on our lap around Australia we say goodbye to Kakadu Natioanl Park on our long journey down to Alice Sprin

Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter, a travelling van life family who self-converted their dream house on wheels - we now live full-time in our Sprinter van called Cooper as we do a full lap of our home Australia.

van life with a toddler is SO much harder, i often think about how much. i wish we'd had a chance to do van life when single or as just a couple BUT for all those moments that are hard you also get to watch a little person fall in love with the world for the first time, which is amazing - keep going guys! here to support you x

I was skeptical on how much I would enjoy your travel content with a baby in tow. I thought it would limit you. I was SO WRONG. Your videos continue to be delightful. They make me want to follow behind you and enjoy the same experiences.

California Linda adds @Jetting Julia go visit Australia 🇦🇺. We were repatriated after a few days of pre-cruise adventures and three days on the Sea Princess instead of the 28 day circumnavigation around this beautiful country. Watching the vlogs took the sting away as Stephen, Jen and Hunter visited each and every port where we had booked excursions. Today's vlog was a bonus as the distance to Alice Springs is quite far from Sydney; looking forward to their Uluru vlog. Do make plans to visit the Blue Mountains west of Sydney and the little penguins on Phillip Island near Melbourne. So much beauty to see and appreciate, grab a tour book or two and enjoy your read. 📚 Next cruise for us after Alaska is Australia when the boarders reopen.

California Linda shares how much fun you both have watching Hunter's daily nuances. Watching Stephen jumping over his precious daughter and the love that both of them shared and exhibited over playtime was truly priceless. A hack I use for the beach is a small container of baby powder and a small 2.5 cm paint brush to remove sand from and between toes. We love the beach but the sand can be gritty and this hacks solves the problem. ⛱ You are such a lovely and fun family. Be safe and stay well. 🇦🇺

We mostly stay at the freedom campsites in NZ and haven't had a problem finding spots. It's actually a bit easier for us with the boarders closed. We're in lockdown now. Looking forward to when we can start traveling again. Can definitely relate to van problems and managing it with children. We have 4 children we squeeze into our van. We went on a South Island winter road trip and it seemed like everything was breaking in the van....heater breaking, roof leaking, etc. Makes it quite an adventure. Happy travels you guys!

So, as someone who has never been to Australia I was so confused as to why you would visit Alice Springs when you had to drive so long from the north. Only to realize that it is just as long from the south because it’s literally in the middle of nowhere. And there is only one main road across the Northern Territory to South Australia (at least from what I can see on Google maps). That is just absolutely crazy to me as someone who lives in the US with 4 million miles of roads (nearly 6.5 million km) with nearly 47,000 miles (75,000 km) of that being interstate highways. Mind blown. 🤯 either way, amazing series, beautiful family, endless adventures. I can’t wait for the next episode. 😍
