[@jamielatham5422]

So excited for all your travels

[@kaseyb8171]

I am so happy for you guys! I would love to see travel vlogs as a family in Singapore or Vietnam! Have an amazing time and stay safe! :) ~Best of wishes from Northern Indiana, USA

[@samaralewis7833]

Would absolutely love to see you take the kids to Harry Potter world dressed up!

[@akossarfo-kantanka7231]

The way you let hunter get messy, make decision, teach her life skills, and let her express herself melts my heart ❤ you are two AMAZING parents😭

[@flyingthenest]

This is so lovely! Thank you!

[@lanternsea94]

The Hunter segment at the start is too adorable

[@davidgaffney1145]

Yes it is

[@jay.kat.]

❤❤❤

[@heatherrowles9930]

Hunter is an adorable advertisement for the benefits of travel on children's development. It is clear from watching her, and having raised my own daughter to adulthood, that some lessons are best learned from life, not in a brick building. I honestly believe that our current education systems need to be changed to allow children and their parents more freedom to include real life as learning experiences and that you guys continue to home educate Hunter and Koa so that you can continue to learn and travel as a family.

[@neresq]

Hunter is such an advanced, well-travelled toddler, willing to try new foods and experiences. Her packing scene at the beginning of this video was so much fun. Kudos to you two for the way you're choosing to raise your children.

[@niag.3332]

I still wonder how you managed to have the two cutest babies I have ever seen. Have fun guys and greetings from Germany 🤗

[@t.l.walton3092]

Hunter packing in the beginning is my fav. She is so adorable and its been awesome to watch her grow into this funky little human 😊

[@theminsterlad]

Aww, Hunter is such a cutie! Good luck on your new adventures as a family of four. Best wishes from East Kent, England. xx

[@andyescapes]

love this vlog, underrated camera work and story telling for sure!

[@flyingthenest]

Much appreciated! Thank you

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

The kiddos are so cute and adaptable to new places and experiences. Hunters little voice has change so much. Looking forward to this season of y’all’s life/journey. ⭐️

[@sarah-phillips]

We traveled with our little ones and my biggest advice is just do it! I traveled by myself with my four-year-old, two-year-old and three-month-old for trip and flight to visit my great-grandfather and I'll tell ya, people were so kind in helping me. Flight attendants are the absolute best! Also, pack all the snacks. Then a few more snacks. Now we're flying with older kids and while they're easier to travel with, they have lots of opinions. We involve them in planning and it makes for an enjoyable trip for everyone. Safe travels! Have a blast! So fun you got to meet up with Craig and Aimee!

[@monicasgh68]

So happy to see you all traveling again. Jess, you are a natural. You actually make traveling with 2 youngsters easy.

[@Vujevich]

My wife and I have been watching you guys since before the pandemic and we just completed our first flight with our two year old son. He was a champ, but so much respect for you both doing this constantly. Keep up the great work! You're awesome parents.

[@jenniferhamlin5073]

You guys just took me all the way back when I first started following you. I found you through the endless adventure when they went to Bali and met up with all of you guys in 2018. So happy to see where you guys are all these years later.

[@christalcherry3426]

I love that you guys are back on the Road and to meet up with Kingin It I love them so much.

[@hplm16]

I love how sweet Hunter is with Koa! She seems like she has coped with the transition to being a big sister really well! How do you manage things like car safety when you are traveling? Do you take your own car seats with you?

[@ashhetty1335]

Would love to know this too. How you get on with transport and car seats etc.

[@charlottemcconnochie2730]

I have a 1yr old, 2yr old and a 3yr old. I'd love to see what toys you take for the kiddos to keep them entertained at each activity!!!! Also, bedtime routines and sleeping arrangements ❤

[@mrscb5303]

Thank you for showing me beautiful places and letting us have the honor of watching your gorgeous children grow up. You have no idea the joy you give and when I’ve been very ill, you made days better. Much love to you all ❤

[@MakamaePaselio]

I’ve been watching since it was just Jess & Stephen & I’ll say this mom and dad era is my fav. I had 2 children around the same times and I watch these vlogs for family travel inspiration. I definitely know what it’s like having an entirely different bag just to feed the baby & have enough diapers lol

[@laurafoote214]

i cracked up when Hunter put the dollhouse in the suitcase and the clothes just flying around,LOL, Koa is getting cuter each time...

[@MyMeloBunn]

Ive been watching your videos for a while and i love watching hunter grow up she is so smart and gorgeous. You guys are great parents and i look forward to seeing her and koa grow up traveling and having fun learning with such great parents.

[@explorewithcasey]

Fantastic, absolutely amazing that you can do this with your children and give them such amazing experiences and memories to remember forever!

[@vanessavanderkramer6588]

Such an incredibly sweet vlog! Hunter is just adorable doing her packing. What a little trooper she is! Such a natural in front of the camera. I think covering segments on traveling with littlies is a great idea. I did it myself with tiny bubs and I would have welcomed the advice, which eventually I discovered for myself, but many things would have been easier had I known. What a content baby Koa is. Full tummy, clean bottom and lots of love! Hunter is so loving to him, it melts your heart seeing them together. Looking forward to new and exciting vlogs. Xxxxxx

[@corysvanlife]

Hunter is already an amazing KZbinr and probably doesn’t even know it 😆 awesome video!! So happy for you guys to be back traveling!!!

[@Celticcross688]

Have fun little family ..😊 Stay safe xx

[@erikagholston6610]

Hunter knew her assignment was did a fabulous job in the opening segment.

[@islandmum3241]

Happy to see you back traveling! Stay Safe , Hello from Vancouver Island BC canada

[@MissD1029]

Wow your children are so big.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😃

[@zaraellen3733]

I take my hats off to you doing what you do with two small children, you do amazing!

[@slickandchristina]

My 8 and almost 3 year old love watching your videos. They call you our friends and are eager for each new video. I’d love to share your travel tip blog/video with new parents who are going traveling! I recently took a 3 hour flight with my two and the poor struggling mother behind us was at her wits end. The passenger around us didn’t even know there were children in our row ! Headphones, sticker books, snacks and a cuddly friend do wonders!! Happy travels!!!!

[@lanternsea94]

As a long-time Indonesian subscriber of FTN, it makes me so happy to see you both back in the archipelago again, now with two mini Parrty-Valentines! Hope you get to explore other islands next time.

[@kymmcnally539]

All the best for your new adventures. Look forward to seeing all the places you travel to

[@adderleybermuda]

Was so great to meet you and your beautiful family. Watching every video will be even more enjoyable. Hopefully our paths cross again someday. ❤️

[@missrotf]

Not me and my anxiety when Hunter drops her food😂😂 love that u allow her to just explore. And Be!!!! Y’all are amazing and so positive to even attempt this. I love it. And Hunter!🥹 and the baby Koaaaa omggg.

[@Vinceventuring]

Gosh Hunter is a beautiful kiddo, you guys are great parents

[@claudineadams-jc2mx]

Beautiful family of four God bless you on your journey 🎉

[@bramsleon6852]

nice to see you guys back to bali with your little family...enjoy the warm weather in bali indonesia

[@lostamonglocals5382]

You guys are killing it! Addicted to watching your beautiful little family

[@Lee-cs3mu]

I had 2 babies within 11 months of each other and I remember trying to pack all the stuff for feeding and traveling with them and we would just go away for a week. You are amazing you can do until Christmas in 3 suitcases and for traveling that long with kids. I'm so excited to watch your adventures. Also I definitely wish I knew there were collapsible kettles!

[@magyar5615]

One thing is for sure you 2 are an AWESOME TEAM!!! So happy to see you both taking off on adventures with the baby and toddler, they will learn soooo much more and be citizens of the world by being out there and meeting other cultures!!! Happy Travels to my favorite travel couple and family !!!

[@S.G.E_123]

You guys are awesome parents! Can’t wait to see what your posting next!

[@Lisa-it5cq]

OMG!! You got to hang with my other favorites Craig and Aimee!! Great video.

[@caronboyajian7065]

I remember traveling with my two daughters and still carry those memories! You will miss this one day so enjoy every moment!!!!!

[@annekennedy8127]

Love that you two are so relaxed travelling with two little ones....some other KZbinrs seem to not be so relaxed with a one year old...

[@laruedouglas7972]

That is so awesome that you met up with Craig and Amy.

[@flyingthenest]

Always fun to catch up with them!

[@karmelazoran3325]

I love your vlogs! Such a cute family! Hunter’s intro is my fave 😊. Enjoy your travels ❤

Aww guys really looking forward to this adventure 😁 your kids are beautiful 🤗 you guys are superb parents 🤩🙏

[@catherinekayy]

Mr big Bali made me laugh 😂❤ I loooove following along with your travels! We haven’t got children yet but we are hoping on having them and love travelling so can I just say you guys are a huge inspiration for those of us who want/have children and love travel! ❤❤❤ YOU DA BEST

[@jamiecorisis6122]

Great video of traveling as a family of four and seeing friends at the end!!

[@MsDigitalEnvironment]

Hi! Did y'all consider traveling with a double stroller? Or how did you decide that a single travel stroller + wearable baby carrier was the right gear for you? :) Thanks!

[@TalithaJanke]

I love your guys video so much Koa. so cute. Hunter is grown up so much. Her personality is so cute. 😂❤

[@nicoleziegler6112]

You guys are the most laid bak parents!!! You never seem to get frazzled about anything!

[@gayanachshon]

How are your kids getting usual vaccinations and health checks while traveling? I want to do full time travel in the future too

[@Christina-Bobina]

I want to know the answer to this exact question. I’d find it so hard to travel that long in the first year because of vaccinations alone.

[@flyingthenest]

Koa is due for shots in August so we will fly home for a few days to get up to date with his shots 🤍 That’s why we are sticking close around Asia for now

[@andreajenkins2545]

@@flyingthenest Shots have you forgotten your Australian .

[@livingthejolife]

Great video guys! Can't believe it took 3 hrs for immigration in Bali 😳 Why did it take so long? We are going in 2 weeks. Hopefully it won't take that long for us 🤞

[@ingridnh1]

Good to see you all back to traveling as family of four! Koa was so good during the flight and overall! He’s going to be a seasoned traveler like Hunter before long! ❤

Hunter packs just like our daughter 😂I love it. Love seeing you guys back on the road again as a family of 4!

[@superbetyl]

We gave birth around the same time and you guys are ah- mah- zing for traveling abroad like this!!!

[@carolinelane9599]

Flight time. 3hrs 40min Jess lol Got to take my hat off to you both. I wasn't game enough to travel on a plane with my son till he was 6. Was a screamer as a baby. And as a toddler no way would he have sat still on a plane. But once he was 6 we were off again. He is 32 now and prefers to go camping, than go OS. We are off to Phuket in 5 weeks. Maybe you will be heading there.

[@rumik-stahnke6512]

Fantastic video guys 🤗👏Thanks for sharing and enjoy 😁👍✌

[@flyingthenest]

Thank you 🤗

[@ynys_mon6928]

You two are amazing. I couldn’t imagine that you’d be able to make travelling internationally with one toddler work, never mind two! Really glad to see you are meeting up with Craig and Amee again.

[@gracie-leejean6748]

Oh my gosh I'm selfishly so happy you guys went to Bali!! I've been trying to decide for months if I should take my bubba there once he is six months old (I'm a single mumma) and I feel so nervous but I desperately want to go ♡ thank you!

The whole video i was waiting for Kinging it to drop in! loved how one minute your trying to downsize packing in oz then spend days shopping as you land in Bali lol

[@janesmith761]

Ah he’s getting so big. Time goes so quickly. Loved hunters intro 😍

[@z.a.r.777]

I love the way Hunter was packing. Two of them are so adorable. Have a great time. I'll be waiting to see your journey ❤❤❤

[@margaretthompson6391]

Do you pack a car seat? That seems a lot of weight and space but necessary if there aren’t local supplies readily available.

[@helendawood8868]

Hi , beautiful family. I have been waiting for your new video for days. It’s wonderful to see all again, especially the little one. Wish you A very happy safe trip. Dear Hunter look after your little brother. Love you all ❤❤❤❤

Long flights are what stresses me out. Any tips or tricks to make this work smoothly please would be amazing. Also if flying with an under 2yo do you recommend paying for a seat on longhaul for them.

You got one right 😜

Ooooh! Good guesses but no Australia (except Christmas)! Japan def happening, no Florida this year or Italy and we wish we could do SA to see our cousins baby and our friend just moved away from Canada so that might limit our visits
