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.

Love the “you don’t have to like it but you just have to try it”! And Hunters face after ❤😂

[@Vinceventuring]

Hunter is seriously living her best life. You guys are great to watch, you are the same down to earth people you were in Hawaii all those years ago when you started ❤

[@flyingthenest]

Ah this is so so kind to say ! That means so much 🤍

[@Cris-qe9jz]

I love the effort the Philippines is putting in conservation of their tourist spots. Keep up the great work Phil.

[@JEPOYHEROBLOGG]

FILIPINO HERE WE REALLY OUR NATURE SADLY THE CHINA WANT TO CLAIMS OUR OCEAN THEY BUILT ARMY WITHIN THE AREA THAT WE PROTECT FOR DECADE ALL THE CORALS AND MANY MORE SPECIES IN THE OCEAN WAS BEEN DESTROY BY CHINA

[@RosieRose359]

Hunter is growing up so fast! So beautiful xx ❤❤ Little Koa is js the cutest thing x

[@flyingthenest]

I know!!! Too quick

[@artryanrock]

I have to say that ever since you started travelling with Hunter, your videos are two times more interesting and entertaining. Enjoy the Philippines. This makes me want to go back to my country of birth

[@CB-xr1eg]

"two times more interesting"...so not "twice as" interesting?🤔

[@gingermele3111]

Your kids are so lucky to have you as parents and travel the world😮

[@martinalemmerhofer6937]

So beautiful! Watching Hunter grow up is such a joy. Everytime you think it can get any cuter.... here comes Ariel! 😂

[@lisataylor6075]

Yes love you guys and Beautiful singing Hunter!!!

[@alexgusi9441]

Welcome to our country philippines. Love the philippines. God bless both of you ❤️💘💘

[@aairsick]

Oh my. People wonder about traveling with children and this video answers that question. Some people can’t even take a plane to Grandmas without freaking out about kids traveling and you do THIS! Bravo.

[@ajax0409]

My favorite travel vlogger ever… such a wonderful couple and now a family 🥰 I’m glad you are back to my native homeland the Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤

[@bemcorrales5358]

It's not easy travelling with 2 kids, but you guys did it so well 😊❤👨‍👦. Thanks for sharing this fabulous houseboat in Coron, Philippines 🇵🇭🏖🏝. Stay safe family and God bless 🙌 🙏 🍀

[@srnamil]

I didn’t want this episode to end! I really miss Philippines and its so lovely seeing the family enjoy the country once again 💝🤩

[@hazellee5829]

Fan from the Philippines here!! Thank you for visiting our country and glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope to meet you all soon one day ❤

[@nicolenedaniels9183]

Love the "you dont have to like it but you can try it". You and steve have been saying that since before hunter and love that you guys teach her this now. Also, Hunter singing made me tear up😢 She's so happy and so precious!!

[@GlobetrotterGranny]

I’ve heard about this place. Would love to understand the process (and vendors) you used to get to the resort. We would be coming from the US (Chicago area). This looks like a FABULOUS place and an experience not to be missed.

[@Lee-cs3mu]

So beautiful! This has been my dream trip since seeing it on Kara and Nate's channel but I always thought my kids had to be a bit older. Thanks for showing me I was wrong and I can do this with kids!

[@Lee-cs3mu]

And Hunter singing little mermaid was adorable!!!!

[@nicolettedorfling9788]

Hunter is adorable! She have a great vocabulary, amazing!! Baby Koa is so calm and cute!!🎉❤

[@travelertrome8449]

It is amazing how you guys are in such a stunning location yet Hunter still steals the show. Her personality comes out more and more with each vlog! And I think I am even starting to hear her have an Australian accent? And what a jaw dropping location. Amazing!!

[@jennyvezina4551]

I'm looking for a very quiet, relaxing place to vacation, and I believe this may very well be the spot!

[@ZoeShears]

I absolutely love watching your adventures. The amazing culture you are introducing your children to is amazing. I can't wait till Koa is older and is running around with his sister.

[@mrscb5303]

I cannot thank you enough for taking me to places I’ve never heard of or thought I’d see!! This place was absolutely gorgeous but the true highlight was the singing mermaid 😉 I just admire you all for the wonderful humans you are raising. Or maybe mermaids 🧜‍♀️ 😊

[@hfs212000]

So happy to see you guys in my country ❤ hope you had the best time. Please come back again

[@flyingthenest]

Aww love our time here everytime

[@benrichards5765]

This is the first time I could hear an Australian twang in hunters voice! So fun to watch you all explore as a family

[@sejibee]

Honestly, I developed a short attention span so I don't usually watch videos for over 15 mins long but this vlog is one of those exceptions. I enjoy every second of this. I always get to watched different Palawan vlogs but this is my first time seeing the house boat so this got me really interested and the fact that you have your cute little kiddos traveling with you made everything perfect. My favorite part was when Hunter was singing 'Part of your World' while his daddy went on diving. Baby Koa is so cute too! You really made their childhood so special and they will forever remember that feeling.

[@Lovelifeandtravel]

Awesome video as always. Loved the editing Stephen! The pirate and mermaid scenes were cute and creative! The Philippines has never been on my radar but you certainly opened my eyes to the beauty of that area and now I’m tempted.

[@DanielCameraAction]

Wow, that looks so beautiful. I've stayed on a houseboat in Vietnam which was a great experience but now I really wanna stay on this one too someday, definitely adding it to the bucket list!

[@wendybartolomeo3217]

Your little boy is so content. No matter who holds him.. 😮, perfectly behaved children. You’re both so blessed! 💕

[@Troy25473]

I'm the Filipino who has never been to that place because it's expensive. but I'm happy there are other races who like the beauty of the Philippines ☺️ always take care beautiful family

[@janemariefuentes2988]

Lol

[@Anonymouslyyyyy346]

I’m proud to say that i live in the Philippines. I’ve been there before and it was all worth it. Thank you for visiting in our country i hope did ya enjoy your vacation here. Stay safe and more vlogs to come.

[@gabriellahujbert6600]

Hunter's first sentence in the morning: let's go to swim 😀🌊🏊 and the Ariel singing 💞 are there sharks close to the beach or is it absolutely safe?

[@saratruax6252]

Omg in love with this house boat! What an off the grid dream 💕 Definitely adding it to the bucket list. And I love that Hunter will jump right off the boat to swim 🏊‍♂️ I hope my little does the same!

[@teresitamiranda1194]

Well come back to the Philippines. So happy you came back. So nice to see your family having a nice time.. God bless you & your family.. Be safe!!. 🙏🧡💛💚..

[@z.a.r.777]

The water is so blue and beautiful. I love this place, and I love that sister and brother are in the water. Have lots of fun

[@heatherbrewington5362]

This looks like such a lovely location. I love Hunter's imagination!

[@angelicam4781]

What an incredible location! You have an absolutely delightful family. It's evident how much you adore your children.

[@christine4670]

Hunter singing part of your world is everything 😁❤

[@amyhawks370]

The videos just keep getting better and better! Your photography is wonderful ❤

[@JeanetteAbbey]

We went to the Philippines earlier this year, loved it, and can't wait for a revisit. We didn't get to Coron,but it's on the list now. 😊😊

[@PhoenixGrin]

Welcome Back!!!! It's been a very long time. Happy to see you with added two happiness. Very adorable children.

[@hayhaywilly]

Hunter and Dad in the kayak made me misty. You guys are the best parents, and these memories will be gold for your littles. ❤

[@jennifersondej5551]

This place is Gorgeous and I even had my husband watch and he was so Beautiful how clear the water, food, boat ride, how there is so much to do and you can swim and jump off the deck. I want to go here so bad. Hunter & Koa will have so many stories to tell there friends, grandparents, and the adventures they have been on. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lynnreymond654]

Love your family! Thanks for sharing your wonderful adventures💜💜

[@stephaniefox8201]

What a beautiful place, and oh my hunters singing is magical x

[@nicoleashley8235]

Hunter is so big now!! I love her raspy voice. How fun you get to make these memories with them ❤❤

[@hilarymoloney1711]

Beautiful destination but what really blew me away is Hunters confidence and competence in the water.

[@luisitocatalbas3804]

😊😊😊😊 you're ALWAYS WELCOME in the Philippines. Take care always.GOOD YOUR FAMILY VISIT THE BEAUTIFUL PLACES OUR COUNTRY. GOD BLESS US ALL.❤❤❤❤

[@jaywei7546]

Have a fab time island hopping! You still have more than 7,000 islands to choose from. Enjoyed watching your vlog. Look forward to seeing more of your updates with stunning drone shots and underwater clips.

[@VimaMckenzie31]

Good to see u guys enjoying the Philippines

[@andreacatzel8259]

Stunning! Loved every second! Hunters vocabulary is beyond impressive! Such a pleasure to watch you all grow together! Love to you and thanks for sharing your lives with us! ❤

[@SMichelle626]

I can’t with you guys! You are the sweetest most wholesome family ever! My goals in life!!! What a beautiful beautiful family!!! Also when kids are too small for the life jacket flip it upside down and put her legs through the arm holes and buckle her up it leaves her chest and arms free but supports her weight 💪🏼

[@ra_jcat6607]

Just seeing hunter enjoy the water makes me smile...such cute kiddos

[@marap4107]

You guys are unbelievable. Idk how you manage to continuously travel with 2 babies and not lose your damn minds. I'd like to see a video on how you prepare for these travels. It's amazing to see how pulled together you guys are. I'd be a hot mess in your shoes hahaha.

[@AlainBundalian]

Thank You for featuring my country, we love foreigner visiting our country and enjoying our food and places. hope you enjoy. So proud!

[@hynyssha-zg8xm]

thank you for visiting Philippines!!

[@nishitanishar9561]

Such an incredible place to stay in and enjoy with your family! You guys always surprise with such unique and amazing trips! Always looking forward to your videos!😍 Hunter is an absolute gem! So open to exploring😍

[@madelinenason7706]

This trip looked so wholesome! ❤

[@bealong8718]

OMG, I found your channel about 4 years ago, looking thru all of your vids, seeing you already had 4 years of videos and deciding I could catchup by watching the new day’s video, and if I watched 2-3 historical ones to catch up the whole collection. I just love the progression of your channel and the ease you have expanded your family while still travelling. Hunter is one smart, wide-eyed cookie, and so much humour she has - it’s been so amazing! Seeing Hunter and Koa travelling with you and learning new things together, is just wonderful. To get to the point - I can’t believe how fast Hunter is growing and talking, how she tries almost anything to eat and such a relaxed traveller. Something about this video just feels like you’ve “arrived” at that point you wanted to, 8 years ago, when waving goodbye to your families. This is truly one of my favourite KZbin channels, hoping we can make it to one of the group travels in 2-3 years. Much love and travel safe ❤

[@ladykiwi_nz4102]

Ohhhh guys. ...Koa's first swim 😊❤️ gosh he has grown so fast. He really has. Very soon he will be taking his first steps. I wonder where in the world that will be. I enjoy your beautiful family videos. Thank you. Enjoy the Phillipines 🌹 I Love Hunter's singing......

[@henrytecson3059]

Hey guys, welcome back to the Philippines with Kid, haha fast years has no kid, and, now you have to enjoy, Philippines, godbless

[@boppermacca9346]

When you told Hunter, 'you don't have to like it, but you at least have to try it' , little Koa was staring at that food like 'I'll give it a crack'.. And Hunter's vocabulary is expanding more , every video you guys put out. This was great to watch

[@kayleighhargreaves8762]

This has to be one of my favourite videos. I was smiling the whole time watching it ❤

[@wanderingkashlee6983]

Hunter singing melts my heart 🥹🥹

[@GoForLaunchVideos]

Awesome video guys! We really wanna go to the Philippines one day!

[@irises3724]

[@susandibble3525]

[@taylorjones7174]

Hunter sounds like my daughter naming the fishes “Bob” 🐠 We’re vacationing in Croatia and the water is so absolutely clear! Just stunning!! So many fish- and their all names “Bob” ❤

[@claudetteedwards4115]

I so appreciate the subtitles, Hunter is speaking very well but as we're not with her all the time like you guys are, it's not always easy to capture what she's saying ❤

[@marypetalaquino3137]

Amazing video. Love everything in the Philippines. The food, the beach and the people.. thank you for sharing your best moments in Coron Philippines ⭐️🌞⭐️⭐️

[@TyRisVlog]

Happy to see you back in the Philippines! Hope you had a best time. We really loved watching your videos to the point we also turned ourselves into vloggers! Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience in our country. Sending love to your family ❤️

[@josefinatuazon4270]

Make sure you have insect/mosquito repellent /spray with you all the time since you travel with your beautiful children with you during this rainy season . Mosquito net helps too. Try to stay away from Dengue mosquitoes .

[@melissagray6603]

[@nedylazo9665]

I love this Family , i hope you enjoyed my country .❤

[@bw5911]

This is my second favorite video. The first is when you found out you were pregnant with Hunter (which is also my 22 year old daughter’s name). Hunter is just the cutest and is beyond entertaining to watch. I will be moving over to that part of the world and can’t wait to stay there. Love you all!❤

[@addiebug]

I definitely need to add the Philippines to my list of places to eventually visit.

[@kerryharder2416]

Wow your little ones are growing up so fast and they are so beautiful. What a beautiful place would love to go there. Bigs hugs from Canada 🇨🇦🤗

[@ldhpc]

I was so excited when I read you were doing your vlog in the Philippines! My son-in-law is from Cebu and I’ve been there. We also took a trip to Boracay during our visit there. This terrain reminds me of our trip years ago. Isn’t the mango the sweetest you’ve ever tasted there?! Your food looks so delicious, you had my mouth watering!

[@colinareshenry4249]

I'm a pilipino thanks for visit out country the Philippines 🇵🇭 . I love your kid intelligent.

[@alexdetagxi8148]

Wow you guys have family now wow how wonderful time moved so fast congrats.

[@windsongdesigns6655]

What a stunning location! Would you be able to put the links to the accommodations you are staying in future videos? Hunter is amazing for her age! Can't wait for the next video.

[@LJ412jag.]

I love your channel so much. This video is amazing, and the Mongolian series was also so good. Hunter's face at the end, it was so cute. And baby Koa is growing up so fast I love the philippines
