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.

[@flyingthenest]

Hey everyone!!! Welcome back to I think our most favorite episode from our Switzerland series so far :)!! Which was your favourite town we visted? And if you're ever interested in learning how Stephen edits these vlogs check out our Academy -> flyingthenestshop.com/collections/courses

[@SoloAdventureDiva]

This is beautiful 😍 wow!!! I love the rolling on the mountain!! Hunter is everything!! She is getting so big with such a great personality 💜💛😊

[@sarah-phillips]

Lauterbrunnen was a favorite place of mine to visit and I’m so glad you got to experience it! It will always hold lovely memories.

[@idkimlikereallybored9533]

Morcote has been voted most beautiful village in switzerland for years in a row..

[@MsSlivernight]

You absolutely have to check out the Zurich Zoo! This soo Beautyfull

[@vedantraut327]

Stephen is a champ at it. I would like to learn.

[@JamesBoyer-plus]

I love you guys! My wife and I are sitting here in our living room in Zürich, watching you tour our adopted homeland, remembering when we moved here with our toddler some twenty-one years ago from the US. A couple of kids later and a couple of decades in we've become Swiss citizens and we're never leaving. This is the best place in the world and it's so cool to see a young family discovering the same things that we fell in love with! (And, now our oldest daughter is doing her undergrad at the same university where Einstein went to school, so wow!)

[@vedantraut327]

I felt every word as if my own future life.

[@funDAYsmiling]

I too loved visiting it during the summertime as a teenager from the USA, and look forward to getting my own place there-especially not being part of the EU as well as having virtually a zero chance of packing any future kids off to some nasty war is a great incentive to move there.

[@mamagotgoals3114]

Wow that is amazing! Just curious, how did you guys move to Switzerland from the US? We live in the US, we went to Switzerland a month ago for vacation and I want to move 😭

[@chocothycflowerio6122]

Of all the places I see on KZbin, this is the first time I’ve thought 💭 I’d like to live there!!

[@ireyonmoya]

You're right, 3 classmates of mine came to school by cable car every day. Where I grew up I had to walk 2km down the hill to school and back up home, summer and winter (sometimes by sleigh). Nice video, thanks and greetings from Switzerland

[@isasant6926]

Wow how amazing

Switzerland.. My dream country.. I hope one day I can go there too. From Turkey with love ❤️🇹🇷

Even as a born swiss i learn places to go to in Switzerland from foreigners all the time. Thanks for the amazing insights and pictures and i hope once again yall are very much enjoying your stay here :)

[@MrAlbarry51]

All I can say is this is such beautiful scenery. Switzerland is so amazing. Thank you for taking us alone with you.

[@clicker7019]

I grew up spending my summers on a lake in northern Michigan on the outskirts of Gaylord. Gaylord is the sister city of Pontresina, Switzerland and all the architecture is designed to look like it's sister city. Every July they have Alpenfest and everyone dresses swiss for the week. There's a big festival in town all week with rides, booths for crafts and goods, food, a parade, and live music that sounded just like the festival you went to. What a wonderful childhood you are giving Hunter!!!

[@ullimoser2529]

Hunters yodeling attempts were just adorable!! Love seeing you both educating Hunter, you are doing such a great job! I'm a pre school teacher and LOVE your videos. Switzerland is such a stunning country, right on our border - greetings from Austria 🇦🇹

[@md.tarifhossain4254]

Hi

[@kassideerich]

Hunter is the cutest! Watching her little personality and vocabulary grow is so sweet. I’m glad you are able to travel as a family. 💛 Switzerland looks so beautiful, and this just solidifies my urge to travel there one day!!

[@robertp.wainman4094]

I love Switzerland! So incredibly beautiful - with the world's best transport system - where everything works - and always good quality. The Swiss are quietly confident and don't need to boast.....unlike some!

[@Julescasper]

Thank you guys so much! Currently learning to walk again and watching your videos makes me feel like I’m actually there! Thank you guys for making these dark time so much brighter for me! Love you guys & big big hugs! 💖💖💖

The Jungfrau region is so beautiful! Do you guys ever find it interesting how you "happen to stumble" on to so many cool things?! Love Hunter! She's so entertaining! Caotina, the hot chocolate you were drinking is some is the best! I actually order it from Switzerland to here in the USA. Loving this series! Switzerland is one of my favorite countries!

Hunter is going to turn out to be one of the most well-adjusted human beings on the planet. Thank you for raising her as such. 💞

[@passingthroughtime3033]

Switzerland is stunning. Thanks for showing us. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@flyingthenest]

Aww thanks for joining us

[@poojam1341]

I feel so cheery watching this 😄 I love how you create a positive effect with your videos where I want to travel as well but I equally have fun watching them. And Hunter is an absolute bundle of joy 💕

[@Luigi-uj5ml]

Went to Lauterbrunnen when I was 15 (I'm 68 now). Along the Wengeralpbahn (WAB) the trains of ordinary material still traveled pushed or held by the old cube-shaped electric locomotives similar to those which, fortunately, are still used for the trains of the legendary Schynige Platte Bahn. Even the trains from Interlaken Ost to Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald were still hauled by the brown cube-shaped electric locomotives fitted with connecting rods.

[@cvbnmqwas]

It’s sooooo beautiful it looks unreal. Wow, just wow! You guys are so so lucky to be traveling there! More Swiss videos pls.

[@camillecrestani3499]

I'm Swiss and live in Sion in Valais, i speak french and swiss german. Jess's prononciation of the swiss villages names is so cute with her australian accent 🥰 I love it !

[@MaikKellerhals]

I'm from Switzerland. I took a bus to school, but i know that many kids have to take gondolas in the mountain villages.

[@bonniebrown5102]

This episode is so beautiful it makes me a bit teary-eyed. The shot at 6:32 looks like a literal live action Disney princess movie opening. I went back and watched it again because it was so amazing! Also great job managing your fear of heights with little Hunter. I'm a mom of little ones too and its tricky balancing keeping them safe but also not wanting them to inherit your fears and phobias.

[@marytn7944]

It is so beautiful in Switzerland. Hunter is not even phased by heights, she is so amazing and sweet.

[@kristastevenson3843]

watching this makes me want to go back to Switzerland so badly.. thank you for sharing your adventures with us...

[@juliefarrugia6124]

Stunning.Thank you for sharing. I never visited Switzerland and thanks to you I am expierencing the beauty this country can offer.

[@jasminetaylor6896]

Looks like an amazing time! Jess I’m so proud of you for being so brave, just a reminder that it’s okay to show Hunter that you’re scared. It will be great for her to watch her mum over come adversity & face her fears! Such an important thing to teach. Much love 🤍

[@mysterioanonymous3206]

The answer is yes. I had two guys in class that came by gondola. And there was another guy in the other class of the same grade that did, too. It's almost normal if you live in a mountainous state. Mostly farmer kids.

[@chrigesart-nature]

I'm a huge fan of your vlog and your little family and also a huge fan of the Bernese mountains, where I live. So it's almost surreal to see both coming together, virtual and physical reality. High vibes garanteed! Thank you so much for all your uplifting content. 💖

[@williamwoods8765]

[@FireCracker3240]

I can honestly say that Switzerland rivals Italy in beauty. I think if I went to Switzerland I would never want to leave. Those mountains, those gorges. Have you ever seen such clean, clear air with views miles long to the mountains and so far up to the sky? Unreal. I'm so grateful for getting to see these places. Thank you Steve & Jess! ❤❤
