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.

Okay, so. I'm absolutely a vehement heavy metal fan and I freaking love anything gritty and abrasive, culturally, (feck sand, it gets everywhere, I don't like it) and a couple with a kiddo traveling by iron wheel from Helsinki to practically anywhere, is more metal than I could ever manage. Yet you two seemingly whip it away like a chip on the shoulder. What are you two? Really? Demigods?

This trip was so magical! It would be a dream to go on an expedition with you guys, especially to places such as these. Maybe someday! I've been watching since the beginning, and seeing the flashbacks in videos makes me realize how much time has passed - your family really fills life with as many adventures as possible, I really need to do the same. The shots were beautiful, especially of the snow capped trees and the reindeer, and I love Hunters happiness and innocence and how she just enjoys everything, shes such a sweet baby!! Cutest family ever you guys are so inspirational! Also seeing Cleo jump in the water was super inspirational, and watching the flashback to when you jumped in made me laugh, my husband and I loved that scene, I was waiting for the "when you say that youre fine, but youre not fine" 💀😂♥️ Also Jess youre definitely glowing I'm so excited for baby #2! What a fun time!! I hope to someday fill my life with as much adventure as you guys! I am so happy for you! Congratulations ♥️ Keep living large and following your dreams!
