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.

[@flyingthenest]

Is Hunter EVER in a bad mood? I’ve literally never seen a happier more well adjusted child. Awesome parenting at the highest level!

[@tlcasey]

So so true!

[@Angela-1974]

How many times can Grandma Valentine say are you kidding me? Love the reaction 😂❤️ Such a lovely surprise for her, can't wait to see your adventures 😁

The "I love you"s from Hunter throughout this video melted my heart...so damn cute!!

[@flyingthenest]

Hehe it melts ours even more!!’

[@officialtechified]

We know we will like it 😊.

[@aninditaariantiputri9573]

Totally bookmarking the hotel. It's spacious, has kitchen and after some googling, I found out it also has washing machine 👍🏻

[@itokengo4803]

Welcome to Japan! I hope a whole family had fun! Im looking forward to watching next episode!

[@ladymc2021]

@@flyingthenest Awwww!!! Absolutely! VERY exciting stuff! Do you think you guys will go to fire ramen? I have been binging on your Chesham vlogs recently lol! I hope you get to see a Christmas Japanese market somewhere? Lol

[@beautyallaroundme724]

Asian convenience stores are like the heaven of convenience stores. I loved all the different vege and fruit juices, teas, dumplings, eggs, noodles, etc. I wish American convenience stores had that stuff. For some reason, the cutest shot was Hunter running down the ramp by herself with her boarding pass--like a little adult. She's going to be so travel-savvy when she's older. So cute!

[@2106-t6f]

Welcome back to Japan!ようこそ！🇯🇵

[@runauchikune7081]

I am soooo happy that you all can finally travel to Japan!! Since I got inspired by watching this channel (this is a few years ago when I watched your Japan vlog), I chose Australia to study abroad and now it’s been three years! How could I describe my mind when I knew that I could watch your Japan vlog again……thought it would never come. Thank you so much for keep inspiring me to study English and hope you all enjoy a LOT in my sweet home country 🇯🇵 (wish I was there tho) welcome back!!

[@shelleyj210]

Jess your mum just melts me 😢 she is the cutest being. Looking forward to the Japan vids, it’s somewhere i’m desperate to go to! Ps how are you this energetic?!? When I was pregnant I was so tired the entire time 😂you’re rockin it xx

[@wardarcade7452]

I hope you all don't miss touring the totally cool OSAKA CASTLE! Glad you could make it back and treat Jess's folks to it! Take good care while traveling in the family way!

[@koepselistic]

I like watching Hunter's language develop from words to sentences.

[@flyingthenest]

[@FFly774]

Flying is stressful enough, why would I want to watch this? I gave this a thumbs down.

[@allysongoolsby821]

Hey Jess and Steve! Could you guys do a Q&A video? I feel like I have a million questions I’d love to ask!

[@lacycovington3083]

Yay Japan! You two are the reason I put Japan on my bucket list 😄 I love to rewatch your Japan Playlist

[@flyingthenest]

hehe yayyy!!

[@christine4670]

Japan😃🥰 And so nice to take your parents as well😊

[@flyingthenest]

Thank you ❤️

[@donnaplumridge9769]

Love, love, love Japan! People, country, food, and gardens are gorgeous! It was no place I’ve ever visited before! I must admit I was a little apprehensive visiting Tokyo, because of all things ( now don’t laugh) was the toilets! Needn’t have worried, me and toilet survived! Lol! My son loves technology and Pokémon, so he was in hog heaven ( as my mom would’ve said). I loved their food and walking around the gardens, especially the Imperial Garden. The hotel we stayed at ( New Otani ) had beautiful gardens, plus opened to the public. Anyway, congrats again, Hunter is going to make a great big sister,and yous two are such great parents!

[@suzan6980]

Awww 雪見だいふく(Mochi ice cream) that’s my favorite too! Hope you enjoy Japan!

[@liljapan]

Would you come to Tokyo this time? If you come to Tokyo, tell us and we'll take you to nice dinner!! Enjoy your trip!!

[@salade99]

I subscribed to your channel back when you traveled all over Japan in 2019, and seeing you guys come back here is amazing.

[@pinkysworn]

My local 7-11 in the middle of nowhere in Canada has that same mochi ice cream and I can confirm that it is delicious.

[@FireCracker3240]

I can't get over how much Hunter is talking now! Full sentences and everything! My heart bursts every time she says a new word or phrase, and the sweet little "I love you" is doing me in. Why are you growing up so fast, little one? I just adore her. ❤❤

[@island_escapers]

Wishing you all to travel arround the world.. especially to you reading this comment now :)

Weird. Your going to Japan as their border reopened. We were trying to get back to Australia from Japan as our border closed. Was so stressful. Flight got cancelled and had to hussle to get new flights to get home before we got locked out. The only way we could get home was via Bali. Love Japan. Want to head back soon. Did Europe last year for 3 months. Off to Phuket this year.
