[@darleneclews2223]

Currently waiting to board a flight to start a Victorian coastal road trip with my 3 (adult kids from Brissy) Single Mamma who is a mad Disney fan too and loves travelling the world with my kids. I got inspired by your van series and it genuinely re-sparked my passion to see Australia and shoot more memories. Would love a copy of your book to ensure the inspo continues long enough to buy my own Cooper! Love your channel, thanks so much!

[@aditibejoy2401]

Thanks

[@kathleensmith79]

I can't name just one great moment. I so enjoyed most watching Hunter turn from a baby to an amazing little girl. The wonder in her face and Eyes as she discovers new things brings such joy.

[@camaytabisola6671]

Alohaaaa from Hawai’i! From the moment I started watching your folks travels around the globe as a couple to the announcement of Hunter I was hooked. Years later and fast forward I have 2 year old daughter and a son who just turned 1 years old a few days ago. Both whom love reading and love sitting beside me watching all your travels and journeys afar. We would love and appreciate it so much if we were selected for a book sent and signed from you folks as I would be able to read it to them and help create and imagine a world off the island. One of our favorite memories of your folks travels was how you folks always found a new playground for Hunter to play at no matter where you located. As a mom I try my best to do the same. And knowing that the kids are happy after a long day of travels or work makes me happy to know they can play at some place new. Love to you all and Happy Thanksgiving from the Hawaiian Islands one of your favorite places to travel.

[@sunrise1201]

There is not one favorite moment. BUT if I had to choose: when Hunter learned to walk, when Jess was driving the van, and of course that Steve always took care of the morning coffee. You guys are great, I am so happy for you!

[@michaelalenzhofer217]

Watching Steve making coffee for Jess and everything he does for her restored my faith in men that there are rare ones out there that treat u right, and Steve is the perfect example for that in my opinion

[@brandonblankenship3620]

My wife and I watch you guys religiously and our favorite part of the van series was seeing how it is possible to travel with a little one. Now we are due in February 2023 with our on little one and can’t wait to show him your videos and read him your book!

[@filibusterfirework74]

Oh my goodness the fact that you stood to give a proper hello to people is so adorable. What a fun experience for Hunter too 🥹❤️

[@robbynburris3780]

Congratulations what a fabulous accomplishment. My Grandson would love it.

[@mrsannaptak]

My favorite memory is anytime we get to see Hunter's joy through her experiences. I can't wait to get this book!!!

[@adriannacabrera9013]

Aww thank you so much for sharing this beautiful journey with us it’s ok to feel overwhelmed sometimes

[@merrygolding5628]

Congratulations on the book! I cannot pick one favorite moment. However, watching Hunter grow up is the true pleasure of the videos. It reminds me of my own littles ones growing up and now my grandchildren growing. You are a lovely little family and I truly love your adventures. Not only through your eyes, but through Hunter's eyes. Love to you all.

[@Myhappyplace65]

You guys are such a "Happiness" source!!!.🥰 We love you guys! Thank you for being such beautiful people.

[@natalieohlsson]

One of my favorite moments was when Hunter started to walk in front of Uluru! 😊 I actually watched back to this moment a couple of weeks ago when my son started to walk! It is such an incredible moment as a parent to see your child taking those first steps! 💛 Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@patchayko721]

I love the idea of a book that your children will have forever to pass on. Love your life!

[@kylielynne]

This made me cryyyyy. You are my favourite people to keep up with on KZbin and I feel like we’re friends, all because you started off in Surrey BC and I was like whoa, why are these KZbinrs in my hometown? And here you are all these years later, a family to (almost) 4, homeowners, world travellers, and now authors?! I’m so proud of both of you. This is so amazing

[@JenLovesHorses]

Your Uluru vlog was so special where Hunter was walking. The colours of the landscapes just matched your normal beautiful video aesthetic so well. It was a match made on KZbin!

[@Wander85942]

There’s really no better feeling of having a physical copy of your book in your hand. It’s an amazing accomplishment

[@eloise-jx7mo]

this is incredible!!! congrats, so happy to see you so happy and excited 🤍💫

[@tarkamoose]

Congratulations on the launch of your book! It looks so sweet. ❤ My favourite moment from your trip was seeing Hunter learning to walk! So precious x

[@fionabrowne2362]

My favourite part of your van life journey was being able to see different parts of our beautiful country.

[@mama2kittyfubb]

My favorite moment was Jess's discovery of the greatness of an air fryer - crispy chicken nuggets? Yes!! 🤩 Congrats on the book!

[@SGru-eo8kw]

We are a family from Germany and we going on a 6 week trip around Australia next year. We already booked a houseboat in Corroborree Billabong, because we loved your video about this so much. We even have the same boat 😅.

[@princesslizzie64]

Hunter walking in the outback was so lovely but every moment of seeing her growing into a gorgeous little human is so precious 🥰🥰

[@gaynorevans2644]

Congratulations on the success on your first book. Your such a lovely family you deserve every bit of success 🥰🥰🥰

[@toobydude41]

Well It's Thanksgiving here in the US... and every episode I see on this channel I am reminded how grateful I am for you guys. Each video is like a magical page in a book itself, that can never be closed, never be put down. A gut punch to the heart, that makes it sing the most joyful song that sticks in your mind, and you want to play over and over. Congratulations guys. Sending my love❤❤❤

[@johndecelien]

Happy Thanksgiving

[@amaqt4ever]

I feel like watching a feel good movie every time I watch your vlogs. Thank you. Looking forward to more

[@LancerX916]

As someone that has been published many times, I can totally understand seeing your first book on the stands. I even had one of my books used in a Clint Eastwood movie in two scenes. It is an amazing feeling. Enjoy it and the fans are really great to meet. Congrats.

[@simplyjemimah6367]

My favourite moment from van life was when Hunter first learn to walk in Uluṟu! You guys are truly amazing storytellers🥹 Everything about your travels is goals. Hope to meet you guys someday! ❤️

[@cordeliabirkholm3373]

One of my most memorable memories for your trip around Australia was when you went too Uluru and there was this amazing light show. Plus hunter started to grow up when she took her first steps there. It was just a wonderful episode. But I would actually say the whole series was amazing, it have giving me the dream to do the same thing. All your videos are incredible and I love how you show the world and the way you are doing it. You guys are my favorite KZbins and I always looks forward to watch a new one and if I’m in a bad mood, your videos can always cheer me up

[@Georgiasuzanne]

My favourite moment was the beautiful footage you got underwater at Bitter Springs. Absolutely stunning! Congratulations on your book and your second bubba guys ❤

[@akossarfo-kantanka7231]

I’m so proud of you all! I can’t wait for the next book with another baby in it! ❤ And my favorite moment from van life was all the outback bathes, and hunters first steps ❤

[@flyingthenest]

aww thanks so much!! ahhh that be so amazing if we ever do a second book!

[@cindyheaslip7314]

Can some one help me I received a reply saying I won prize was thinking it was a book but it is choice of phone or Mac book they want me to send 100 $ for delivery is this a scam

[@akossarfo-kantanka7231]

@@cindyheaslip7314 it is for sure

[@LorraineG123]

I'm in tears ,a young couple who had a dream, and part of the dream was to write a book, and to see people support ye, made my heart burst with pride. Ye are so kind to your fans, bless ye. So many majic moments on your adventures,one of my favourite moments on your fantastic journey was when ye were on a trip, and ye stayed in to a place and ye found a bath house with the most beautiful bath view in it, no one about, and could use the room to sit in etc, out in the middle of no where. Yer faces were so sweet because ye really didn't expect this. I'm delighted ye are having such a wonderful time in your lives, ye pack in so much, and always are so upbeat. Congrats on the first round printed copies all being sold,lucky people to get what ones that are left on the shelf. Much love from Ireland.

[@brigitjuarez7245]

Congratulations on the book release! It looks so amazing and the artist did such a beautiful job. I think my favorite moments of your van series is Jess' obsession with the air fryer 😂 Iconic

[@flyingthenest]

Omgosh the one thing that didn’t make it in the book!!!

[@sybilt3288]

my favourite moments from the van series were the morning/night routines! loved getting to be a fly on the wall and seeing the ins and outs of van life. my partner and i are currently long distance and the thing that gets me through the tough moments is watching ftn vlogs and envisioning where we will travel to next, including a van trip around australia!

[@amber9830]

Congrats! You guys always amazes me with how hardworking and passionate you guys are I really admire that

[@cindypowell7227]

My favorite vlog is definitely the Star Wars Galactica stay! OMG I now have that on my trip list when I retire from teaching. What a fun filled adventure that must have been. But I love all of your adventures.

[@alexanderryall3616]

We absolutely love you guys and we're devastated we missed the book signing! Our favorite memory from Vanlife was watching Hunter learn to walk in Uluru! It makes us feel apart of your beautiful little family to watch these special moments!

[@sbshaw5495]

I can’t name just name one memory…I love all of your vlogs & have been watching from the very beginning…I feel like a proud Mum…congratulations guys on everything you’ve achieved so far…so happy for you both 😊👏

[@rachelleclaire3725]

Congratulations on your book! It looks incredible. My favorite moment with Cooper was when Stephen broke his coffee plunger 😂 it was such a funny but tragic moment. Getting to watch Hunter grow and learn always feels like such a privilege!

[@wisconsinbound2123]

Congratulations on the book release and signing. Also congrats on the new baby. I have enjoyed your videos and wish you all the best for the new year

[@kaitlyngoddard3334]

You guys had me crying watching this! Wish I could have been at one of the signings but so excited to see so many people were there to tell you how awesome you guys are! Love watching your videos! Your Tasmania trip has made me really want to get there one day! Keep up the amazing work!

[@traceymarshall5111]

My favorite moment from your trip in Cooper is Hunters first steps at Uluru. What a special place for you to look back and tell her the story and to show her the vlog. I do envy you having all those special memories on film. I would love a signed copy of your beautiful book. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@kimnscott2005]

It’s so silly but I bawled my eyes out during this video! So proud! Congratulations y’all!

[@teresaharrower7591]

I feel like I know you personally through watching all your amazing adventures. Love love love Hunter's development into the fascinating toddler she is now. Boy is that wee lassie going to make the best big sister!!!! My favourite moment has been making pasta/pizza with the nonna. Being a nonna myself I know how precious grandchildren are. Can't wait for the new baby to join in. xxx

[@caitlinfairbanks5391]

My favourite moment from the van life series was when Hunter was eating all the cheese on the board when you were at the beach and seen the camels go past 😂 Congratulations again on the book!!

[@shareennarayan5108]

Congratulations beautiful family 👪 My favorite moment was when Jess used the airfryer to cook nugget. Those smilies and giggles made my day. God bless your family. Love from Fiji 🇫🇯

[@ericaswain7292]

My favorite memories from the van life series were Hunter learning to walk in front of the massive red rock and Cooper nearly getting stuck in the mud but somehow Stephen pulled off some wizardry and managed to get it where you needed to be. Oh and when you ran out of fuel 😆

[@USborahae]

Congratulations from Michigan, USA. I’ve just preordered mine from Target. 🎉

[@Vinceventuring]

Congratulations on the book and the baby and just all you’ve achieved so far in general ❤️ one of the best moments in the Van life series was when you ran out of fuel 😂 I thought it was great to see you share something so candid. Sometimes it feels like people are born “knowing everything” and I love that you guys can have a laugh and be real. Safe travels!

[@samlange2762]

My favourite thing about your time in the van, was just watching Hunter start walking and grow into the wonderful little girl she is 🫶🏼 love from New Zealand

[@lakinduadikari5641]

Our most memorable moment from the van series was the day y'all went to the day dream island on Steven's birthday when Hunter was sitting on the floor while she was covered with pillows with the cutest little smile on her face (Whitsundays Vlog 7:14/19:03) Much love :)❤

[@meganwilliams9949]

Awe guys!! I've been following you guys for 5 years now and to see how far you have come is amazing! Your videos have been making me so emotional lately lol!! Happy excited tears for you all! Hope to get one soon!!

[@angelaswaney58]

Like everyone else, there is no way to pick a favorite moment. I love watching how you have allowed Hunter to build her confidence naturally by giving her the freedom to discover her world independently while knowing that her mum and dad are there to help if needed. You're amazing parents leading by example.

[@ronicajay]

I loved seeing all the hot springs! We have hot springs in our area and it’s one of our favorite ways to explore where we live. Hopefully we can one day explore some springs in Australia with our little one!

[@PBBBWis]

Hello! Love seeing you two.❤Congrats on the book!!! Amazing!!!!

[@irises3724]

My favourite van life moment was when Hunter started walking in the Outback❤️. I am so happy for you guys. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦❤️

[@Gillygirl2011]

Favourite Van moment was when you crossed over each border into a new state and Hunter grew a little bit in each crossing ❤❤❤

[@beckac4624]

Congratulations on your book, and on your new baby. I love watching your videos, thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

[@taragada8105]

Wow wow this is sooo incredibly cute and jst Adorable... My heart melts seeing you and hunter having such moments... The bestest memory was the Uluru picturesque Red mountain and the whole family just sitting ... It was the picture perfect moment ... It was LOVEEEE

[@heathermartinez8640]

Congrats on the success of your book! I'm so happy for you!

[@MorganE-09]

Congratulations! Some of my favorite moments in your road trip of cooper is the trip to New Zealand and the trip to Uluru! You definitely inspire the inner traveler of myself.

[@jennifersondej5551]

I love how you bring us along with making memories and having priceless moments that we all could look back and see. ❤❤❤❤

[@livwing227]

My favourite parts of flying the nest was the van life series because I just feel so happy when I find an Australian Chanel I also loved all the home renovation videos

[@helendawood8868]

Congratulations to the most beautiful family. I am so happy for you. Love everything about you and your trips around the world. Especially with my favourite little girl, your little angel Hunter. Very proud of you. Keep up the good work. All the love from the bottom of my heart ❤️

[@Andi-wf2gk]

Hi from Japan!! My 2 year old daughter, husband, and I are lovers of travel as well and love to watch your videos! We were so excited to watch your most recent videos of your trip to Osaka, Japan. Looks like you all had such a wonderful time! But my favorite videos are probably you on the Disney cruise since it's our dream to take our daughter on one as well! I love to imagine I am you and I can just feel the emotion wherever you go. Congratulations on your new book! I hope to write a bilingual book about my daughter one day. :)

[@rebekahbock5169]

I loved seeing all the sunset dinner picnics you guys would have with Cooper, SO BEAUTIFUL! Congrats on the book 😊💕

[@robbinhood9277]

Im crying ... happy Excited tears ♥️ !! We all love you !! Wish I could have been there . Bravo 👏🏼🙌🏼

[@kathleennorcross9114]

You 3 are a joy to watch! 💜 I do not have just one favorite memory of " van life ", but in every one I appreciate how much you enjoy, love, respect and have fun together! I know there have been moments in your van life adventures of times of frustration with each other, but overall what comes through, to us the viewers, is unconditional love! 💜

[@stephaniehendry]

Hey guys! I’ve been watching your videos for years now. Me and my partner Ben have been watching from Canada since we got together 5 years ago. We can only dream of doing the things you’re able to do, and hope one day to travel the world to its fullest ourselves, and then again with little ones. Our favourite moment from your van series had to be when hunter began walking! That moment was so pure and beautiful, thank you for sharing it with us all. Also when Steve had to go get a can of gas in the middle of nowhere 😂 love that you show the reality of it all! Once again, thank you for creating videos, I truly live vicariously through you guys, and wish you all the best! ❤️

[@courtneyhope171]

Wow! What an accomplished! How exciting! I can relate to your gorgeous family so much. I've just recently rewatched your van life days. So many favourite moments. Hunters first steps at Uluru is such an amazing memory to treasure. I also really love seeing the simple things in life through Hunters eyes and love how excited she gets from these moments. One in particular was playing fetch with the border collie when you stayed near Port Macquarie, NSW. I've since found this place and hope to get there with my baby girl next year. Thanks for sharing such amazing moments. It brings me so much joy, inspiration and motivation to see the world.

[@courtneyhope171]

Wow thank you so much! I have messaged you

[@lynnecollins3284]

One of many favourite moments is when you visited Bridestowe the lavender farm northeast of Tasmania and Hunter licking the lavender ice cream. I live not far from there and have visited many times taking our visitors there. Such a lovely place. Congratulations on the book, you deserve it.

[@maja.bocianowska12]

Congratulations you guys this is something really exciting so you should be really proud of yourself❤️

[@daneshas1468]

Congrats Y’all! I loved the old abandoned house you guys stayed in with all of the 100 year old artifacts. Also, see the regular day to day cleaning and cooking chores in the van. It was an awesome series.

[@vanessavanderkramer6588]

How wonderful to have so many people waiting to meet you. You know, you all have such beautiful personalities that just draws people to you. Hunter has that same personality! I can’t wait to get my pre order book in January. No people deserve everything good in life more than you. I have so many favourite moments from your van tour but I think your tub time in the outdoor bathroom on a lovely secluded farm is my favourite along with that lovely croc-free waterhole in the back of beyond. Xxxxx

[@sassyh154]

Congrats on the book guys... can't get enough of your travels... so many great moments... I did love the episode with the underwater hotel on the Great Barrier Reef... but who could forget Hunters first steps, introducing her to foods and her first sentences... I hope there is another book coming with the new baby... Thank you for sharing your travels with us all... just wonderful...

[@XxDe4dlyViperxX]

We absolutely LOVED your van life series. It had us dreaming of Aussie holidays with our little family whilst our daughter was a newborn. We SOO wanted to come to your book signing however we were on our first adventure as a family of 3 down south to Yallingup at the time (and yes we tried the Yallingup Woodfired Bread as recommended by you guys - so yummy). We can't pick a favourite part from the van series (just too many) - however highlights probably were the magnificent views and vibe at Lake Argyle, Hunter learning to walk at Uluru and exploring the Great Barrier Reef. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@adelemcgarry2412]

I’m 12 and I loved your guy’s video when you went on a house boat , never seen that before🙏😄😄👍🦘🦘

[@k.y.6148]

So wonderful to see your book. The Easter eggs are what I can't wait to see! It will check my memory of your travels! My wife also published a book, so we can relate to the excitement of seeing your first book!

[@tammimccrory6603]

Oh you guys, I cried watching this🥹 It made me so so happy to see your joy and appreciation for all those that turned up to your book signing. I wish I could have been there myself but I'm from a little town in Scotland with 2 little monkeys awaiting your book arriving, they're going to LOVE it. From watching you in the hospital giving birth to Hunter to watching all her firsts like those teeny steps in front of Uluru and being inspired by your natural way of parenthood. It's beautiful. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next video🥰 x

[@anna_shew]

I'm watching you for 5 years and want to say a massive thank you for incredible videos! You're the best blogers the world! I'm really happy for all of your achivements) It's my dream to have your book, cause it a part of you💖

[@The123trinus]

Im currently watching all the Van Series videos, and mu favorite moment so far was the secluded hot spring on the tiwi Island with the amazing rope swing footage😄💗

[@TheCcharrier001]

My favourite part of it all isn't a specific moment of your journey but the inspiration it gives me to one day travel the world with our little one

[@TheAtanyrate]

I am so incredibly happy for you and your sweet family! I have no children, but have ever so appreciated watching you teach your child all the little things in life.

[@makaylachin3753]

My family and I LOVE your videos and have been following for so long! One of our favorite moments is when you went to New Zealand and stayed in the tiny cabin! The view was amazing and it was so fun following on your trip :)

[@eugeneandmichellesmargiass6465]

Congratulations from USA! I am so proud of you! This brought back all my mommy feelings, my girls are all grown up! The memories of times together are precious. I watch all of your stories and dream “if only”! Praying for you to always remember these blessings and stay safe and secure!

[@danielaholcombe8150]

I’ve been following you since your Egypt videos (it is my dream to visit) and I’ve made a commitment to watch every single video of you (which I have) and I adore you guys!!! I love you so much! And Hunter is my spirit animal! Sending you a huge hug from Mexico!!

[@tinarosenau2792]

As others have said, there isn’t just one great moment, they are all great moments! We, your viewers, are the blessed ones to have you share your journey, from wherever you are in the world, with us. It has been amazing watching Hunter grow and change! She is so filled with joy and wonder, her laugh and smile are contagious. If I had to pick one moment that struck me from your van tour around Australia, it would be Hunter taking her first steps at Uluru. What an amazing memory for you both to remember and look back on. You two are such an inspiration!

[@jennyhonda9642]

Congratulations on your success, I'm along time watcher. I was delighted when my copy arrived south of Melbourne Victoria!

[@breannanicole2837]

My favorite moment would have to be watching hunter learn how to walk! My little girl is learning how to walk and i love watching them both grow up. Also congratulations on baby number 2❤️

[@Drama18LAX]

My wife, my soon to be 1 year old son, and I all love watching your videos the moment they come out on KZbin! I would say our favorite moment of your van life is when hunter tried vegemite and didn’t care for it. Please keep making videos and putting smiles on our faces! 😊

[@ElisahvandenBorn]

How can you ask what a favorite moment was! Every moment on the Van Life series was awesome. To name a few, I liked the first day you went in the van.. to see you figure it all out and be so excited. But also to see hunter grow up and learning to walk. Or the time that you ran out of gasoline.. haha ☺️🥰 love you guys and all the best to you! Love to give the book to my little niece and nephew.

[@jadhurshanashangar]

When you start building the van after hunter was born that was my favourite part to watch from your vlogs. Also love all your travel vlogs with your family.❤

[@tracecasey]

Amazing! You guys have done So well! ❤

[@caitlinnoelb]

Congratulations!! How fun! Love watching your travels with Hunter and how much she loves it all!!

[@rosangelatravelblog]

My favorite blog was definitely my favorite one. seeing Hunter taking her first steps in front of Uluru.

[@lanternsea94]

I’ve watched you both since 2017 and I feel so happy and proud seeing how far you’ve come. You have brought so much joy to your subscribers and those long lines in Perth and Sydney are a testament to your awesomeness and how much you are loved. You have also shown us resilience and joy in difficult times. As travel vloggers, I’d imagine the pandemic was a massive challenge but you creatively worked through and around it with Cooper-the series have really helped me during the pandemic when I was living alone in a tiny space, not being able to go anywhere due to lockdown (but I felt like I was travelling through Australia with you). Now that I am studying in Australia, I have been revisiting your vlogs in Cooper to get some inspiration for the uni breaks. Thank you for your dedication, Jess, Stephen and Hunter. Keep it up, Flying the Nest!
