Van Life in Western Australia | Esperance & Wave Rock

[@flyingthenest]

Happy Sunday all :) hope you are all keeping well during these very crazy times! This was our final little van life/travel vlog episode that we filmed before heading home and locking ourselves down in Perth. It almost feels a bit surreal hitting publish on this video not knowing when the next "travel vlog" would go live - things are changing next weekend as we adapt to what is going on in the world and prepare for our little girl to come. So the question is what type of "home vlogs" would you guys like to see :) - we still plan to upload every Sunday until we can go travelling again!

[@jonasgorigao2108]

hi Steve and Jess. after this pandemic times, hope you can visit again here innthe Philippines, Mindanao Island. your my insperation to see the world in a different prespective

[@wanderingpidgeon8195]

would love to see you guys do a monopoly battle/games night vlog!

[@danyellehoisington6091]

I think it would be cool to the preparation of the baby. Updates and stuff like that.

[@Hiatus3309]

With these crazy times will enjoy happy moments, optimism♡ How life is in Perth, via baby preparation & protocol safety. Another vlogger I follow her and her sister both are pregnant too here in USA. I pray for all the babies arriving in these times be safe & the world be clean & safe for new generation🙏 lately I watch happy vlogs can't watch news lately just pray the world comes back brighter🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@TheARGblue]

Baby updates and how to make plans travel with a baby videos. Maybe top 10 videos on how to plan, make arrangements, where you want to go with baby first, etc...

[@annagilda1]

Steve. When you were talking about packing up in South Africa and moving to Australia, that was so moving. I’m a recent migrant to rural Australia. I got here with $94 and a few clothes in a bag. I now have a career, a house and today is the date where I am eligible to apply for permanent residency. Your chat about your family really resonated. Good luck to you both and your little girl. How lucky are we to live in Australia. It’s amazing. :-)

[@adistutorials5399]

Hi Anna, I'm really interested in your story. I would like to move to Australia in the next 2-3 years. Do you have a preferred way to be contacted? I would like to ask some questions if you don't mind. Thanks!

[@jeffsmith6201]

I would love a home vlog with Steven's story of why they came to Australia? There has to be an interesting reason....

[@isabellgomes554]

Wishing all the best on your new adventure “being parents”. I would love to see blooper videos of vlogs throughout your series. We need a good laugh and now is the perfect time. Take care and stay save 😀👨‍👩‍👧🎀🎀

[@flyingthenest]

Good idea :)

[@gonzokryllake4587]

I second that. Bloopers are a must. Please do them guys 🤗

[@vanessalebolloch815]

I can't wait to meet your little girl, you two are going to be incredible parents. I hope you're staying safe and healthy and enjoying your time back home.

[@flyingthenest]

Naw thank you so so much :)

[@aliciagarbutt2746]

Hello I'm Alicia! Back in December I discovered your channel and fell in love with your videos. During this time I have spent a lot of it binge watching your videos from the very start. I've always wanted you to come to my hometown of Vancouver and after watching all of your old videos I realized that you lived there for 3 months. So glad you enjoyed my city! I wanted to let you guys know how much you and your videos inspire me. I am only 14, and at the moment I don't travel much but somehow I've fallen in love with it. Every time you guys visit somewhere new, a new place is added to my bucket list. My dream is to one day travel the world like you guys, and your videos make me look forward to it even more. I hope you are all well and thank you again! Love from Vancouver ❤ xoxo

[@dadisphat6426]

You going back to visit your childhood home is really important as you are about to be a father and enter the next stage of your life. You are paying respects to your childhood and life without responsibility (as you know it) and are embarking in the next chapter of your life. I wish y’all the best. You’ll be great parents!

[@ajay_pn]

Yes more Australia vloggs please, my favourite episode has to be all the beaches, coastlines of W. A.

[@lexibyrne9890]

when he said "come back with our little girl" I literally started crying ahahah !! I'm so happy for you guys I feel so much love in your little family when I watch these videos and ahhhh so happy for you.

[@catherinesearson2045]

As a visitor from NSW I have an obsession with WA and was there recently on a holiday for 18 days! I cried immediately when the plane landed into Perth as I was beyond excited. Coming back to WA is just like coming back home!

[@rhys8049]

Yous have lived an amazing life for the past few years, another chapter is about to start, different but better in lots of other ways. Take care in all you do. Memories

[@lana.9073]

Oh dear, I visited Esperance (and Australia) a year ago and remember how seeing such beauty took my breath away and made me tear up... That footage of Esperance in your video with those out-of-this-world turquoise colours just brought that very same feeling straight back into my heart 🥰 Thanks so much! I can't wait to come back and see more of it.

[@karanmalik23]

One, there is something magical about some places, but then second, there is storytelling that makes a wonderful movie truly wonderful. These guys are masters of the second and that’s why they are so so good.

[@flyingthenest]

Are this seriously means so much :) Thank you!!

[@topotone]

Very moody pleasant with perfect music track selections 🙂

[@samcha9448]

Wow, I have the biggest smile on my face just seeing how beautiful your country is!

[@susandoeberl8077]

Once the baby is born your life will change for ever. No more 2 bags and getting out of the house in 5 minutes. I can't wait to see her. Just enjoy your time now with each other.

[@amandarogers3403]

Your videos always have a very calming ability about them. I think its mainly your personalities! Best of luck with the little one on the way! Sending love from Boston, U.S.A!

[@efve.7965]

Hello from Denmark, We enjoy soo much watching your videos.👍

[@nathalieguiragossian6981]

Wow! It’s beautiful! Thank you for sharing! ❤️🌊🐚🌴🐬🥥

[@vikrantkulkarni1241]

The thing you mention about your Parents........was touching.

[@TT-bm2kd]

04:20 who’s cutting onions?? Seriously I’m a grown ass man but this scene made me cry of joy. The world is a beautiful place, if... all these if‘s ... anyway. Beautiful!

[@sophiayl.181]

Wow. It’s so relaxing to watch your traveling videos... Love you! 🥰

[@tranphnglinh5119]

stay positive and healthy during this severe pandemic. Love y'all.

[@flyingthenest]

Thank you :) You too!!

[@annaswanson5903]

Can't believe such a beautiful beach would have so few people there!!!

[@zamahsyarief1540]

I am Indonesian and been to Bali so many times and met a lot of Australian here. But after watching this South Australia series, Im questioning why even they are coming to Bali when you guys have the most beautiful beaches there in Australia. And they are stunning and jaw dropping! I always love your video guys! One of my fav KZbin channel keep inspiring me and hope the best for you 2 ❤️❤️

[@adistutorials5399]

The part where you showed your old house gave me the chills. I still yet have to visit my childhood house in South Australia, left in 2013, live in another country now. Hope to be able to migrate back to Australia in the next 2-3 years.

[@passportoadventure]

I'm so glad you two are taking time to explore your home country! Australia is so high on my bucket list, it looks incredible! Esperance was just added to my list, the sand is SO WHITE and the water SO BLUE. That may be the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. Not sure when this was filmed, but I hope you too are staying safe out there

[@flyingthenest]

Yep this is such a beautiful place to live :) We filmed this series a week before self-isolation began!

[@vanessaa9539]

Wow amazing!

[@toobydude41]

I could not get over the shots of the merging seas....gave me legit chills. Well, so much of what you provide us has that effect. And it's even MORE cherished these days. Here in the US, all but 10 states are under shelter in place advisories for at least another month. Including where I live Pennsylvania. Now just yesterday they're asking people to wear masks just going outside. (doesn't have to be the medical type, just cloths will suffice ) Entire cities are almost like ghost towns. Which is a good sign too since people are adhering to stay at home orders and HOPEFULLY will slow the spread. Surreal..yep that's a fitting description. I've always appreciated the simple stuff in life..OMG that's true especially now .. And you guys are SO appreciated, and a blessing. Couldn't ask for a better respite from near unrelenting anxiety. Hey, maybe you do live streams/chats at home on occasion. But anything you'd do would be a delight. Be safe and well ok. Sending virtual (HUGS)

[@ali.sattarzadeh]

I have added ur video to my favorites to watch it over and over very good job guy tnx for posting

[@gayles7282]

Wylie Bay so stunning and to see the roos near the beach...priceless. Please don't stop making content. Really grown attached to your happy quality videos and can't wait to see how the little one blesses your life. You will be phenomenal parents. Sending so much Love from Canada

[@flyingthenest]

Don't worry .. videos will still be coming every Sunday (may not be so much travel, but we will try our best to make entertaining videos for you all during this time) :)

[@rubyanne5728]

That was the craziest backdrop ever! Jess is also a champ still walking so much and exploring. I carried twins to term and it was the most painful thing in the world to just walk. She is truly amazing for toughing it out!! Congratulations again and I hope you are both safe 🙏❤️

[@melindaedgington7390]

I would love to see more travel vlogs of Australia. I have enjoyed the road trip vlogs you have done in the past.

[@jessicamantes6820]

The beaches are beautifuuuuul!

[@BeingBedingfield]

Flying the Nest is amazing, and so inspirational. I love getting up on a Sunday morning, grabbing a coffee and watching the latest vlog. Really motivated my hubby and I to start our very own KZbin Channel to share our travels. Really looking forward to see your new adventures as parents :)

[@cheryls3136]

This last Australia road trip video was beautiful and peaceful to watch, particularly in this stressful environment. The Wave rock was an awesome site. Thank you for making me smile. Good luck in the coming weeks as prepare to meet your little girl.

[@alma12102001]

It's always a joy to see you two wherever you go!!!!🥰

[@TheCattaztrophy]

Yes please - more Australian blogs. Good luck with final trimester! 👋

[@SandraPotisek]

There's SO MANY beautiful spots in Western Australia I had no idea about! I'm definitely checking them out whenever I make it down to Australia again (hopefully soon). The first time I visited I only managed to squeeze in some of the east coast and the southern part of the Northern Territory, and there's so much more to see!

[@TheTravelbum]

That beach is amazing

[@cynthialeaf8358]

Wow Wylie Bay is gorgeous!

[@leahpanlilio6348]

nice van..enjoy your life around Western Australia..

[@zzzhannahadam]

The beaches and Wave Rock has got to be my favourites! They’re so beautiful... and Jess is absolutely glowing! ❤️ Here’s wishing you guys all the best, can’t wait to meet the little princess! ❤️ Till then, stay safe, stay healthy guys, love you! ❤️

[@natashadobbs]

oh my word didn't know you were South African! that's sp special. me to! We in our 2nd year now for applying for our Australian visa and these videos have just made me so much more excited to live there!!! thanks for taking us around :)

[@linzhang3570]

After all of the craziness is over, I'm so determined to visit Australia again. The sun, sea, cafes and middle of nowheres, all sounds so healing to me right now :) Stay safe Jess and Stephen!

[@farfromholmes3383]

I LOVED this mini-series, it was so satisfying to watch!! Can't wait to follow your move into parenthood good luck guys

[@leoniee2242]

Love you , good luck with your little girl 💖 best wishes from Austria 🇦🇹

[@nalleellila7220]

thank you for spreading such tremendous positive joy, and for showing such great joy in the content you post on KZbin, you are making life in these times something possetive, God be gracious to you that you continue to spread your fine content, you will become wonderful parents, from one of your Swedish followers

[@vikipanczel7296]

yes, more Australia vlogs please!

[@gonzokryllake4587]

What a lovely video series. I loved it. You guys bring a smile onto my face everytime I watch one of your videos. This pandemic let's us realize how lucky many of us are in that we can travel freely and speak out what is on our minds. I will try to cherish these things - that most of us take for granted - more in the future. And I will most certainly visit some of your travel destinations in the future. With your videos you have opened my eyes more widely for the beautiful things our planet has to offer. For the next few months I wish you all the best, health and luck and many more adventures to come for the three of you. Schöne Grüße from Germany.

[@tinchina85]

You guys are amazing! LOVE love love ALL your videos and have been following you for a long while now. Congrats on the soon to be birth of your little girl. As a mother, I know how limited your time is going to be but if you can...and you feel up to it....would LOVE some short videos once the "little bub" makes her arrival! Just 5 minutes every now and then would be a huge blessing for all your subscribers because we cannot WAIT to see your precious girl once she arrives! Keep on keeping on, you two! Cheers for an easy delivery! Teresa from Nashville, Tennessee

[@flyingthenest]

We will be filming weekly videos capturing life with her the moment she comes :)

[@marleencami]

[@nellm1210]

[@auskiwi8116]

I'm been watching your videos for ages!! I visited WA 2 years ago and basically did your road trip all the way to Esperance and through Wave Rock. Absolutely amazing! Such a beautiful part of the world. All the very best with the birth of your little girl. Stay safe and healthy x

[@redsmom6]

Officially my new favourite vlog!❤️💙💕

[@scottieglot]

That landscape is insane! 😍 I am so envious of the wildlife you guys saw!

[@geraldbaria]

Wow that beach is amazing!

[@travellersnestoverland]

O Jess, it brings tears to my eyes. After 3.5 years of continuous travel around the world. We are home in NZ. I miss it already so much. We enter week 4 of self isolation. Love Rolanda

[@deTRAVELerpresents]

The two of you are our #1 idol and inspiration travelers :) from Mike & May, from Philippines :) hope i see you in Brisbane australia when we get back there having a vacation again in my sister's place :) we will keep in touch with you guys... enjoy everyday :) and always enjoying your vid for long time :)

[@rachellesutton6201]

I just really enjoy you both together as a couple and watching how much fun you have. Thanks for showing us the world and Australia (I got 10 days there a little while ago). Look forward to seeing what lays ahead for you... from NZ. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@carolh.1787]

Thanks so much for sharing your journey 🙂 I grew up in Pinjarra, WA, from ages 5-10 and left in 1978. Your vlog brings back so many great memories. I’m planning my first trip back once quarantine is over. Love from Charleston.

[@davidgross9321]

Australia looks awesome!

[@jadecummings8093]

Hi, I'm so glad you're home again in Australia, very inspirational there......great video and I want you all to be safe and healthy out there.

[@flyingthenest]

Same to you :)

[@danyellehoisington6091]

Thank you for the video. I love it. My favorite part was seeing those beaches. I never heard sand be squeaky clean like that. I think that's cool. Have a great time home. I hope everything goes well with the pregnancy. I love your videos!

[@susanab7]

Those beaches are gorgeous, WA is just such a beautiful state, a must visit! Good luck on your pregnancy guys, stay safe!

[@becjoinerlloyd]

Squeaky sand! Best thing about Aus 🙀

[@abireadthat]

Hahaha the squeaky beaches make me laugh! Bribe island beach is like that! I believe they squeak because it’s pumicestone!

[@adityapatnaik7078]

one the best channels on travel and lifestyle

[@lauraortner952]

Oh wow I don't really know what to say, but the landscape in Australia is amazing and sooo beautiful! I live in a beautiful country too with lots of mountains and lakes, but here in Austria we do not have a sea or mountains in exotic colours. I'm looking forward to travel to Australia once. :) Stay healthy and have a good time! :)

[@DeloresMendiola670]

I love all your travel videos!! I can’t wait till I get to explore the world one day and Australia is definitely on the top of my list.

[@ATrainTravels]

This national park was amazing. Beautiful waters.

[@jamieanderson6963]

Social distancing in Colorado but traveling vicariously through these videos! Love you guys!

[@flyingthenest]

Nice to see your staying safe :) Hope you still have an amazing week!

[@andrinikusumawardhani]

Please be careful dear Jess for your steps. I am always worried seeing you walking when it looks slippery. Hoping to see you both soon in your lovely videos. God bless

[@JTSOUTDOORLIFE]

It looks so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us! Always feels surreal going back to your old hometown. The wave rock was pretty cool but those flies looked awful!

[@jeanbb3283]

This was wonderful thank you! I love it all but especially enjoyed Stephen showing us snippets of his first tastes of Oz. Would love some more videos on that topic x

[@pei3029]

pray for the little one and you all to be safe during this moment of time!! 🥺🙏🏻❤️

[@lindagreyling769]

It's like 2 in the morning in South Africa. I'm literally watching this with doubled vision already 😂 but it's worth it. I'm so glad to see you guys are still safe. Goodluck with the little girl. They grow up faster than you think ❤️

[@flyingthenest]

ahhh go to bed :P

[@alexandrasofiiia]

I've ALWAYS wanted to go to Australia so bad. Seing these vlogs of how beautiful it is makes me want to go that much more. Def want to see more

[@RichieAndVanessaTravel]

You guys have done it again! Inspired us to try something new when quarantine is over and we get to start planning trips again! We’re still getting used to vlogging but watching y’all helps us stay inspired and looking to the future. Thank you!

[@flyingthenest]

[@noelchan772]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful side of Australia with us

[@flightofthefox-aussietrave1430]

Hey guys! LOVED the southern WA van trip - We did this trip last year, our first time to WA and totally fell in love with the area! 😍 Totally loved the Margeret River episode, it was such a great way to show off the area by collecting some much amazing local produce and having a picnic! Can't wait to see what the surprise! Stay safe and well! 👍👋

[@cristian_c]

Amazing place!

[@vanessavanderkramer6588]

Such an incredible vlog. It looks stunning, beautiful colours, fantastically white sand and tranquility. Love the 4x4 and the van! The walk down memory lane is lovely so thank you for sharing with us. Your vlogs are so beautifully filmed, edited and your presenting of each vlog is so professional. You are both amazing! Truly! Pregnancy really agrees with you both. (I hate the flies too. One thing I don’t miss now I’m living in England) looking forward to you home videos. Keep on vlogging! Xxxx

[@rebeccaboeve1571]

Definitely want to see more Australian videos that’s how I found you guys I travel Australia in a caravan and I was researching Broome and I found your Perth to Broome videos and been huge fan ever since 💜

[@EmilyClaireDaly]

Gorgeous! 😍 Thanks for continuing to upload during this time! 🙌🏼 Any tips for growing my travel KZbin channel right now when people aren’t seeking out new adventure content creators? It’s my passion, but I fear the time spent investing in my channel is pointless right now. Love you guys!!!

[@flyingthenest]

Yeah it is a super tough time atm!! Not many people are seeking or searching for travel content .. but hopefully when the travel bans get lifted everyones travel bug will come out of hiding :)

[@EmilyClaireDaly]

Flying The Nest yes agreed! The tourism industry will hurt for a while and then come back better & stronger 💪🏼
