Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter and Koa, 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.

[@suziclark4244]

Baby Koa sleeping through the chaos of Delhi absolutely BLOWS my MIND. What a trooper! And little Hunter passing out Chapati - you are raising such a compassionate, confident, adventurous, and open-minded little girl. You should be so proud!

[@barber0611]

baby Koa is just the most adorable baby I've ever seen!......those eyes!

[@flyingthenest]

Aww thank youb❤️

[@tmeda3954]

Hi guys. I am Indian! And from the south, from a city called Bangalore! South India is extremely beautiful , you should definitely visit!! India is so diverse, there are so so so many extremely beautiful places here!

[@Gaurav_Sharma3112]

Every part of India is beautiful bro don't compare

[@serialchillaxer]

To explore what in Bangalore 5 star hotels, parks, cafe's, IT company buildings or lovely traffic and caring rickshaw drivers.

[@joelericpaul6834]

Hi fellow Bangalorean!!

[@dcmhsotaeh]

It is Bengaluru pls respect local sentiments wherever you settle

[@joelericpaul6834]

@@dcmhsotaeh it's not an issue calling our city Bangalore instead of Bengaluru... remember.. we're chatting in English language. We must respect the language we talk in first!

[@VanessaIrene]

Yay!!🎉 couldn't wait for another video! Such a great mid week treat!

[@kingingit]

We're not even 1 minute in and already we're like 'we're going on the next expedition' - what an intro! But really we just miss you guys and want to see the (not so little) babies!! Love catching up with you guys - india was so chaotic but i think we're ready to go back now!!

[@kritikasharma6304]

Now visit northeast India very beautiful like Gangtok , shillong,Assam , darjeeling AND Kashmir, himachal, rishikesh,Goa, kerala, Chennai, Andaman and Nicobar Islands

[@catherinekayy]

ahhh Im so excited for this video, I loved your india vlogs before! And now I cant wait to see you travel as a family! You guys are inspirational! 💖😭

[@DDdogdude_YT]

India is such a fascinating country, great to see you all had a great time there.

[@windsongdesigns6655]

Wow! Your children are getting the best experiences. I am jealous. Can't wait to see the next video. Hugs from Canada.

[@user-by1nd2tr1m]

I really enjoyed this video! The Taj “Massage” is one of the top places to visit on my bucket list! I loved how you superimposed the map over train video (such a cool effect)!

[@hopeheavenonplanetearth1417]

I don’t know how you guys do it with two kids??? You are amazing! So happy to see your sister is with you. India is a wonderful and amazing place… but exhausting! So much to see and do. ❤

[@flyingthenest]

You are so kind!! Thank you! Def more challenging but so much more rewarding

As always, such an amazing video! Thanks for showing the world a glimpse of the magical, crazy, surreal country that is India! My parents are from Mumbai, and I hope to visit one day😊

[@RajeevKumar-mu9wb]

A warm welcome to you all especially the little ones........Love from India.....................❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍

[@sayanmandal1289]

Why would you go to the most dense , chaotic, hectic and wild places when you have little babies and literally you have calm clean beautiful North , North East, south India and Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Laxadweep island ,

[@ankanartworks55]

I am literally tired of commenting on these vloggers videos for almost 8/9 year that why do you guys choose the chaotic dense unplanned cities to visit that too with children?? And never show the less chaotic beautiful landscape of the countrysides of far north or north east or southern India .lol. Absolutely no use I dont think they really want to show those places. Their videos wont sell in the west if they stop pandering towards the slum infested polluted city tour fetish . lol

[@SouryaDP]

Simple. It’s about logistics. The fact that the Golden Triangle has been such a famous tourist itinerary for decades on end means that transport and hospitality logistics are perfected in that region. As they are travelling with a tour group of over 20 people, being able to secure train tickets and hotel stays becomes critical for the entire group in the same place. So the Golden Triangle is a safe bet for foreign tourists in large tour groups.

[@AmyStout621]

Wish we could afford to travel with you on one of your expeditions. You know everwhere to go and make it so exciting. Happy for being able to see all these wonderful places here. Thanks for sharing all your adventures.

[@ahanachakraborti1802]

It fills my heart to see you visit India as you grow your family by each number. Your love for our beautiful yet chaotic country really shows how at the end, we just love to be living together as one big community. All the love and light to you and your little munchkins. Travel safely and enjoy a lot. ❤❤❤ Hopefully, someday somewhere we will be able to interact with you🎉🎉

[@kathynichols6602]

As always thank you for taking us along.

[@vidishaagarwal8592]

I am so touched that the first experience you chose in Delhi was to visit a Gurudwara (my heart is melting looking at Hunter serve rotis!) You captured the essence of Delhi so beautifully and I can't wait to see more episodes!

[@aquaticglobetravel4U]

Such a beautiful family! Thank you for all your videos, very interesting and informative!😍❤

[@lydia27xoxo]

It hunter for me .. I love this so much it. Makes my heart smile

[@angelicam4781]

What a fun trip! I love seeing Hunter warm up to the other people and start to be brave in those situations.

[@angelamouland8012]

What a fantastic vlog. The whole thing made me emotional being seeing the Taj Mahal sent me over the edge. It is just so stunning and special. What a kind girl Hunter is growing into. I love the way to story her braveness. It makes me take a breath and reminds me to be brave, too.

[@JoshPrints]

Can't wait to join you on your next expedition 😁

[@sabrinastraveladventures4263]

Love your first India trip and loved this first part I cannot wait to see the rest what an expedition! I wished I was there coming along with you guys … Namaste 🙏🏼 Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧

I am glad you came to India our home country. watching your videos I started dreaming to travel the world but my present situation does not permit me and do not know about the future but I wish you to have a wonderful time ahead in India.

[@rumik-stahnke6512]

Great video 👍Thanks for sharing and take care guys 😁👏

[@staceylee181]

"Scarier than space mountain guys!" Haha 😂

[@ingridnh1]

What a wildly fun group trip! India is definitely a mix of beauty, history and chaos! Stimuli overload but seems like everyone enjoyed! ❤

[@mum_with_the_peacock_tattoo]

Hey guys Love the expeditions, I was wondering if you were going to do some expeditions for families in the future?

[@katsopolis8046]

As a fellow Australian you are my new favourite vloggers. Little Hunter reminds me so much of my little 3 year old niece from Sydney. These videos bring me so much joy and I love seeing how much Hunter and Koa get to learn about the world around them and quite literally walk a day in someone elses shoes. These children are going to have so much appreciation for the world around them and their parents for giving them these amazing experiences growing up. Thank you so much for spending time out of your day to show us the beauty of the world around us and sharing your amazing family with us all.

[@mariamjehn7071]

The kids looked so happy.. once you got out of the streets!! India is so ALIVE with motion and noise!! It must be thrilling yet daunting!! Those beautiful kids are getting the education of a lifetime before they are even in school!! Lovely 🥰 video! ❤❤❤❤

[@andreajenkins2545]

Geez lucky the kids never got sick over there .

[@TangoCharlie0_0]

Great to see you back in India, this time with kids! Welcome to this Incredible land of rich culture & diversity.

[@jholly5747]

Hello, flying the nest, I haven’t watched your videos in quite some time. I do remember your Indian trip when you were just a couple. Now I wish I could see your chip with your two kids, unfortunately I am blind now and cannot see it. I wish I could’ve seen your family at the Taj Mahal. I do remember your trip to India And I don’t remember what the celebration was but I think it was a Sikh festival and you were both throwing around colour chalk. Looking forward to more videos. Have a good trip.

[@emilyloh]

baby koa is just steve’s twinnn !!!! love how fast hunter is growing up, the taj mahal is so beautiful, can’t wait to watch the rest of the series!!! love the fam, the cutest fam💗

[@ChleoParry]

Such an amazing experience

[@himangshusarma7482]

India is a very huge and diverse country in the world 🌏 28 state + 8 union territory = India (36) 🇮🇳 And many more indian island like Andaman Nikobar, Lakhyadeep etc..

[@grace7rose]

I get chills every time I watch one of your travel vlogs! Such a special experience for your little family, thankyou for making these videos to share with the world, I love learning about different countries and the cultures! Seeing you visit these more 3rd world countries opens my eyes to remember there is goodness in the world, and there are some people with hearts of gold (in context to the not so wealthy just wanting to share and be happy with every one) Thankyou again

[@LostInTravel]

Thanks for making my trip to India and "Birthday" one I'll never forget!

such Ana among trip. I can't believe I was fast enough to get a spot on the Kenya expedition but then realise afterwards I already have a family commitment during those dates and can't go to Kenya with you guys. I was devastated and still feeling it.

[@AmeliaHeldt]

Loved traveling India with you guys! Through all the crazy hecticness 😅 Wearing sarees to the Taj Mahal was so special! X

[@flyingthenest]

So glad we could do this adventure with YOU!

[@halbarber3]

You should make a video of the entire group sitting around telling the others and us viewers about where they come from and their experiences. It may not get as many views as travel content, but I know your fans would love it.

Guys visit the Himalayan region. It spans from Kashmir, Jammu, Laddakh, Himachal, Uttrakhand to Sikkim, Arunachal and beyond. The worlds highest mountain regions will take your breath away...........Literally. Dont just stick to the usual Golden triangle or Delhi NCR region. India is way beyond that....❤❤❤❤

Hunter has become the amazing little one that she has because of the awesome parents that she has. These trips have given her and Koa the most amazing education. My goal is to get my fiances in place and renew my passport lol so I too can be apart of these AWESOME trips with you all!!

[@Angela-1974]

The Taj Mahal is on my bucket list, such a beautiful stunning piece of architecture 😍

[@toobydude41]

Absolutely mind blowing how anyone can cope with that insanity!!!! The constant noise, crowds, vehicles going every which way, electrical wires hanging all over the place, animals running rampant etc etc. But there is beauty amidst the madness and you all capture it brilliantly. My gosh, the entrance to the "Taj Massage" looks as breathtaking as the iconic structure itself!

[@webabhi]

Kerala in India is quite relaxed like Munnar, Alleppey, Kollam and Varkala. You should see Allison Anderson and Phoebe vlog in Kerala. Golden triangle is extremely overhyped only Jaipur is good in it. Kashmir is also amazing and it is snowing there, Srinagar, Pahalgam and Gulmarg. Gulmarg is a ski resort in India.

[@webabhi]

The official language of Maldives is Dhivehi and it is spoken in one Island in India called Minicoy. Lakshadweep Islands are like Maldives of India.

[@martin96991]

Old Delhi and agra are much more Chaotic, INDIA is the land of contrast all north, east, west ,south are different.

[@TravelKat66]

I was in India in November. OMG!! It was the best expierence EVER!! The chaos, sites smells was a total overload but I would not have it any other way. Best decision ever! I did a15 day tour celebrating the Diwali and Pushkar Camel festival.

[@flyingthenest]

Oh wow sounds like you had an incredible time !!!

[@arjunraj823]

Visit Kerala in the south❤️

[@anasahmad5415]

loved your vlogs as an indian , do let us about the next india expedition i will join you guys as an Indian , Also I am living in Delhi would love to meet you up

[@ridiculous365]

Come down south.. Kerala /Goa

We were just there late last year! Dehli, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur and Ahmedabad. It was amazing!!! Thank you for the video and for reviving my memories of our trip. Looking forward to part 2.

[@michellenelson7899]

Beautiful Enjoy ❤

[@newguyat77]

North India may be little intense for you and baby, with cold climate and pollution.. You could explore south india more and ease your way to north.

[@vagmimangraj]

Please visit akshardham temple, delhi. So beautiful and best experience you have

[@vagmimangraj]

Akshardham temple entry fee is free. Reach akshardham at 4 pm. And in entry will take 20 min. Stay there for three hours. And than have a dinner outside akshardham in a good restaurant. Or have buffet in any mall.

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Honestly.. you two are killing me!.. I felt the tears coming at the intro, then cried when Hunter was handing out the flat bread.. you should get an Oscar for getting your viewers emotionally involved in your vlogs and life. I love Kinging IT, Kara ana Nate, Travel Beans, Endless Adventure etc.. but you guys have become my favourite channel of all time because I love watching how you have grown from the start to now doing this with your gorgeous kids. I have travelled as much as I can with my kids since they were babies.. but with jobs, schools, vacation time restrictions and financial reasons....it is very restrictive. I would have loved a life like yours. Its so nice to live it through you both. Thank you 🙏.

[@teneashby1616]

Hi Nesters I was just wondering have you ever been to places where youve felt unsafe or had issues with pick pocketing, people ripping you off or scammers etc. Especially with the little ones, Hunter is such a free spirit and so sociable with locals etc. I am a solo traveller but these over crowded places would give me anxiety I think lol

[@paulinepaterson7392]

Everyone that goes on these organised trips they do seems very lovely but a bit of a worry for the kids when they do these expeditions with a large group of people they don't even know .

[@martharezaee2088]

You should go to Lutus temple( Baha'i house of worship) in Delhi. It is so beautiful.

[@harishpsgct]

Finally.....

[@Elena_hormazabal]

Wow, your kids are not making any problem to you to travel! How it works? My kids (3 y.o. and 5 months) are full of surprises all the time, 😅can’t imagine myself traveling like this, I m tired being just at home with them 😅😅😅

[@amangill3154]

you should go to amritsar and the golden temple its so beatiful and peaceful i went there last time i came to india

[@user-mp5ww2bt7q]

My god, you guys have grown soooo handsome/beautiful with age!!! ❤

[@ruchikajain3725]

U have to come and visit India properly and not just the golden triangle. India is amazing and sooo diverse. We have it all from beautiful dessert festival to the amazing Himalayas and mesmerizing beaches which can beat any country on any given day. Next u visit please go offbeat

[@joolzmac1]

I was lucky to do the golden triangle back in 2006. Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. I loved it, hubby not so much. We both got ill with ‘Delhi Belly’ but lived to tell the tale. I’d love to go back but I think it might be on my own! 😊 One thing we were told - every one with the name Singh is Sikh but not every Sikh is a Singh.

[@arjunraj823]

Kerala in south is different. Visit the tropical paradise.

You know people of Old Delhi Chandni Chowk don't want to change themselves even govt has made various plans to shift the markets out of Delhi but people refused they want to live like this same way
