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.

Rome is my favorite place ever! The people were SO nice, so inviting, and so fun! I wish I could go back. I'm so happy to see this vlog, as it brought back a lot of good memories when I was in Europe! I got to live in Portugal for 2 years and visit Spain, Italy and France while I was over there.

[@heatheroreillyduff5604]

This is the most wholesome video I've watched in so long 🥲❤️ thank you for sharing your beautiful time in Rome, not somewhere I had on my list.. but it is now. I'm at the start of my roadtrip in my van from UK (currently in France) down to the Cinque Terra. I think it is a must for your time in Italy. ❤️

[@phyliciajoykloes]

Wow, that pasta experience was lovely! The home cooked foods made with love looked stunning.

[@davidcoates3129]

I have just smiled so big through out this whole video. You guys are awesome!

[@lisag5670]

First of all Happy Birthday Hunter! I can’t believe she’s 2 already. Looks like you guys really took advantage of the time you had in Rome. Hunter seemed to love it. Especially the cooking class with Nonna. She reminds me of both my Italian grandmothers. Great adventure as always 🇮🇹 Can’t wait for the next one!

[@savannahbluebell9840]

She seems to love food so much. Just cute to watch. Happy birthday Hunter!

Happy Birthday Hunter !!! I can't believe that Hunter is already 2. She's so adorable. It's so cool that y'all are at Rome . Beautiful place. My dream is to go to Rome and Venice Italy. I also want to see Australia.

[@camilamanno5230]

Hunter is so precious!! Rome is beautiful 😍 thank you for sharing these amazing experiences!

[@travelmurmur]

We missed your Europe videos so much! That cooking class looked amazing and so did the town! Also, we miss L' Antico Forno di Fontana di Trevi so much 😭 Seeing the waiter who served us holding the croissants just made us want to go back there TOMORROW. Such a nice café 💞 Can't wait for your next video! Wonder where you guys are now 👀

[@sweetpotatey]

You guys help get me through some of the toughest parts of my life. Seriously, I just want to thank you for sharing the contagious joy you guys emanate and the happiness it brings to my day.

Watching your family grow through the years and the incredible experiences you have given your daughter has been priceless. I can’t wait to see her as she grows and begins to understand the significance of what your family does and sees.

[@katedunleavy9653]

Love that you’re finally in Europe! Hope you end up in Glasgow again. Last time you guys didn’t get to see the best bits, there’s so much more 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 x

[@donnaplumridge9769]

Happy Birthday, Hunter! What a magical place to spend your birthday, especially with all different gelato flavours! Lol! I stayed up the street from the coin fountain at a hotel called” Harry’s Bar.” There was an amazing gelato place around the corner from there as well! The pasta looked so good! So envious as well with the iced coffee. We had our 20th anniversary there. Unfortunately, didn’t get to see it all, since we only spent a weekend there. I’m addicted to the rice balls, have made them a few times, don’t last long in my house! Lol! I wish I remembered where I bought the melon flavoured limoncello! I definitely have to buy me some more of that!! Lol! I loved Hunter rolling out pasta, reminded me of my two children! Glad you enjoyed your stay inRome, looking forward to more European adventures!

[@rachellelaureta3090]

Happiest Birthday Hunter! It's wonderful to watch you grow up. 🥰🎂🥳🎉

Happy birthday Hunter!! I can't believe you spent your 2nd birthday in such a beautiful place!!! This is a Italy is number one on my bucket list. Venice was more my cup of tea, but after watching this and seeing the pasta experience I am going to have to check Rome out and the little town you made pasta. I would love to meet Nonna your 3rd grand parent!

[@rxiinebree]

I’m living with that authentic Italian cooking class!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUNTER!!!! i love you from across the world!!!! 🥹❤️

I live in Rome!! I am so happy you all enjoyed it. Also a super "Buon Compleanno" (Happy Birthday) to Hunter ❤😊

[@jcparial7075]

I can’t thank you enough for sharing the pasta making class with the Nonnas. Prior to your video I also didnt know airbnb had experiences. Just had our time with the Nonnas the other day and it was by far one of the best (if not the best) experience I had in Italy. Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰

[@OTWD_yt]

Rome is definitely one of my favourite most favourite cities we must of just missed you 😊❤️

[@janiceburnall9412]

I want to go to Rome!! Happy birthday Hunter!🥳🥳🥳 Such a beautiful little girl and she is talking so well bless her! She is a credit to you both ❤️

[@MsLiz2208]

I‘ve watched the video twice now - usaually I watch alone but this time i had to show it to my husband to remember our time in Rome. We loved this city so much and it was so great to see it again through your eyes. When we went it was just the two of us and today we have a five year old daughter so there is also a special joy in seeing you do this with Hunter. Also when we were in Apulia we did a cooking experience with a local nonna and it was one of the best travel experiences we ever had. Now traveling with a little child I would have never thought to do a cooking class with her but now I feel so encouraged to just try it. I mean especially in Italy where children are so welcomed, why not give it a try. I’m so excited for all your other videos that are about to come ❤️ happy birthday to little Hunter

[@tysondering]

I’m so excited for these videos!!!

[@flyingthenest]

yayyy! got a bunch coming your way!!

[@Bel-ej9go]

Another lovely Sunday evening watching you guys. Oh yes the Nona’s of Italy. My partner is an Italian/kiwi and my boys luca and Noah loved their Nona’S on out travels to Italy… more beautiful memories with your little explorer. ❤️

[@englishrose4388]

Ahhhh! I need to travel! Love seeing Europe from a different angle than most vloggers. So refreshing.

[@pipingshriketravellers781]

Hunter is so amazing and so cultured! Slurping the pasta was absolutely adorable but tackling the Spanish Steps as a two year old Wow!

[@lizzielawrence9011]

I remember when you last visited Rome, didn't realise how long it's been! Hunter is talking so much now, so many sentences rather than words, she's having the most amazing childhood

[@NickFaulkner]

Rome is a great place to visit!

[@crazylady9646]

Love your videos,watching Hunter get so excited,she is such a good eater

[@mrs1wing]

Never would I have thought I would be where your little family is, at the time you are here-but, I am here in Rome until tomorrow! Then, I am on to Milan for the next leg of my journey. Your vlogs have been so entertaining! Many happy returns of the days to the three of you!

[@ellieberry857]

Loved this! What a throwback, you haven't done these in ageeeeees. I adore these types travel videos so much, now with the addition of Hunter, I'm hooked. So excited for the next ones. 💜💜

[@ritala7391]

Wow, a very warm welcome to you three, welcome to Europe! Welcome to Italy! As a long time fan of your Vlog, this is one of my favorite episodes. Rome is so beautiful and everywhere you will find history. Rome is a gigantic open air museum. :-). enjoy! Happy b-day to Hunter. Wow! 2! Big girl. She’s so cute and I love, when she speaks. Can’t wait to see where you get next to, here in Europe👏

How amazing you are! Not only as parents but as content creators, your videos are just beautiful! That nonna is exactly like mine! ❤️ I felt emotional because she is getting old every year more, so she doesn't make pasta anymore as we used to do together. 🥺 You made me remember how precious is time, and that everyday is a gift. Thank you for sharing your life with us, and for showing, once again, how beautiful is my capital. Big kisses and hugs, from Venice. Ps. How lovely is our little Hunter ❤️

[@gabrielemangialavori8732]

From Italian, wonderful video, excellent footage, excellent explanation with absolute respect, and you have a good Italian respecting the Italian language and culture ... many should take an example from you.

[@charlottestringer1715]

I’m currently on a road trip around Europe for a month (documenting on instagram) and I just visited Rome for the first time! It really is amazing, the Trevi fountain was my favourite bit to see there by far! I would recommend going to Cinqueterre in Italy and stopping in The town Vernazza, absolutely stunning scenery! There are 5 seaside towns to visit and that’s just one of them! Aswell as Lake Como, Bellagio is very picturesque! Happy birthday Hunter! 🎉🎉
