Hi, we are Stephen, Jess, Hunter and baby 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 resumed full time travel as a family of 4.

[@christinasolaris4722]

Stephen and Jess ... Your Oman Videos hit some kind of transcendent quality. I don't know if it's because Hunter found some crazy next level of courage and initiative and became so clearly an agent in her own adventure. Or if it's the magic of the place combined with your family. But I could FEEL THE MAGIC in these videos. Something transcendent about Life responding to your family as you explore the world and get to experience its magic together. Hunter has hundreds of core memories and capacities at an age when most people struggle to even recall one memory. Your love for each other and life is beautiful.

[@lydia27xoxo]

You are right the hit differently

[@thewolfethatcould8878]

That interaction with the hotel gentleman and little lady is precious!!! 🌻

[@kayaker9912]

Wow! Mind blowing 500+ yr old village!! I am so happy to hear that a few locals put this little village back on the map!!!! It is now a legacy of the way those people lived years ago. It is also mind blowing on the parts of the desert with greenery. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful trip! Peace on Earth to everyone!!

[@mennasdrawings429]

Love watching Hunter getting along in every weather, condition and such a gentle lady with everyone! I'm an Arab and our weather specially in the desert is challenging but so fun ❤

[@lynnecollins3284]

That was fantastic. How amazing that 500 year hotel. The sunset, sunrise and scenery is just beautiful. Your photography is fabulous. Thank you

[@TJ-04]

❤❤ I love to hear hunter ..she is truly adorable..

[@flyingthenest]

Hehe she’s the best

[@jjoou]

My favourite was hearing Hunter loud assertive "don’t do that" when the guy started making the bridge move, making her feel uncomfortable. Hunters confidence is admirable. You guys are doing an amazing job as parents.

[@grace7rose]

I've been getting emotional watching all of this travel series! It's so so special that you guys get to travel around the world as a family and take your kiddies along and show them the wonders of the world! I know you've both worked super hard for all of this and I am so so happy for your little family xx

[@lieuwina]

Amazing about the 500 year old village in Oman and it is so interesting to know that with the help of a few locals it has been restores and I am glad they are keeping it small and not make it too big for the experience. I had to laugh about the luggage being zip lined across to the rooms. Hunter is in her element. Thanks Jess and Stephen for taking us along your wonderful, exciting adventures.

[@Lovelifeandtravel]

Wow I would never have thought to visit Oman. Thank you for sharing this unique destination with us. It looks amazing.

[@eleanorcramer7986]

Oh Man! Epic and a treasure . Thanks for introducing us to this friendly place.

[@corikra1392]

How awesome to see Suwgra Guesthouse in your video. I stayed there during my Oman trip in 2022 and it was such a special experience. I saw that they have finished building the steps for the way over, but really, the little treck through the ravine is part of what makes it so special.

[@AmeliaHeldt]

This was INSANE!! After this series I’m sold on the idea that Oman is a sleeper country 🤩

[@MidwestAdventureZone]

The mountain view is incredible 🎇🧙‍♂️🪄✨ we love this episode

[@maureenwhite4619]

I LOVE SEEING HOW MUCH HUNTER HAS GROWN AND IS SO HAPPY TAKING EVERYTHING IN YOU MUST BE SO PROUD OF HER.

[@feddizon2789]

Absolutely beautiful especially a place that most people wouldn't even think of going in their wildest imagination. Thank you taking us along with this mind blowing journey. 😊

[@magyar5615]

Thank you for showing us Oman and it was great to see you do it with 2 little ones!!! Truly you are both inspirational to those of us traveling, knowing you can show your children the world and they can learn so very much from these early experiences is helping us all know we can do it!!! Great video as always!!!

[@magyar5615]

people are spamming the comment section again with FAKE replies that appear to be a notification of some type, beware of the fraud scammers

[@sarahkelly2293]

Amazing series. The kind of travel that you learn so much from and never leaves you. Going in my bucketlist.

[@windsongdesigns6655]

WOW!! That 500 year old hotel was a gem. Oman looks amazing. Not sure I would travel there as a female solo traveler but definitely would with a tour group. Merry Christmas and happy holidays from Canada.

[@sassyh154]

Thank you so much for sharing your traveling journey with us all... For someone who will never get to do this now, I appreciate the time you take to share the smaller things and traditional customs in these places... Just Wow!

[@standbackimagine9314]

Hunter definitely needs to do a room tour 😂🤣 she would be so good at it 😂❤️

[@nicoleziegler6112]

Wow!!!! The views and experiences you had in Oman may have been your best yet! So glad there are channels like yours to share these experiences with us, who my otherwise never have a chance to experience it for ourselves!

[@boppermacca9346]

What a spectacular looking place. And that slow motion shot of the sunset and the shifting sand on top of the dune was epic

[@flyingthenest]

Aww thank you 🙏

[@thortessem271]

I helped develop Oman in 1981. Love the series.

[@travelersa1191]

I have been following your channel for more than 4 years, before you had your wonderful children, until I always commented for you to visit Oman. Thank you for visiting my country, Oman.

[@andreas_adventures]

Oman has been on my bucket list for a few years. It looks beautiful!

[@flyingthenest]

Yay so glad it has been!! It honestly only came on our radar this year so we’re so happy we could go there

[@TravelwithTravelarii]

Woah! Sleeping in a 500-year-old mountain village in Oman? Now that's a unique adventure! Excited to see the breathtaking views and hear about the unexpected twists.

[@addiebug]

Thank you for sharing all your amazing adventures with all of us.

[@user-yr6td8qd4g]

I hope you enjoyed your time in my country, Oman

[@paulasymonds9100]

So amazing. What a beautiful place! If you want to slide down a dune you need to do it on a large square of cardboard. I could feel the magic of the place. Loved how Hunter responded to grown ups asking her "silly" question. Do you want to go down the zip line or would you like to drive the car. Her answers were just so upfront and real.

[@annieterminetschuppon7232]

Fantastic you've been out of the regular touristic hotels which gives you the freedom to touch the true omani spirit

[@shannonbrandt7108]

Loved your video!! You both are amazing parents, I love the way you interact with your children and parent them!!

[@TouristTravelPK]

Beautiful trip. Good luck to you ❤️

[@thewolfethatcould8878]

Good morning and I cannot wait to see this video as well as the first one there. It looks very serene and I am sure it is quite amazing being there in person.

[@DrRedLemon]

Beautiful happy family. Well done making us all smile. Excellent editing too…keep them coming!

[@bonnietyson6022]

That was truly amazing! I loved everything about this whole series. 💛🏜️

[@TravelbyDartTV]

Where the history is so ancient, even the rocks might be sharing tales of the good ol' days! I could only wish that once in a while my travel dart would hit places like this to experience surreal and cool experience like this! The last time I had such surreal experience was when we film one of our TV show episode in Tuscany's 1800s villa!

[@tracyrichmond-pshyk8863]

AMAZING, You always seem to pick the most wonderful, beautiful most amazing places to visit. I just love watching all your adventures.

[@derekroper3168]

You guys are my favorite KZbin channel now. I’ve been watching you guys for a long time, a while before Hunter but I have to say watching your cute family is one of the highlights of my week. I even have my wife watching you guys with me now! We both think Hunter is just the cutest and she cracks us up! This Oman series has been really awesome. Merry Christmas to y’all!

[@nicolahdoughty]

Epic adventure for all the family😊

[@virginiamoore3607]

@@flyingthenest I went to muscat, niwah fort, went 4wheeling in the desert over sand dunes really fun, went to another town can remember name it was about 13yrs ago when I went. Wonderful place. I would like to go back and do a couple things you did(stay at 500yr old town and swim in arabian sea.) It's on my bucket list lol

[@marazine9724]

aaahhh i miss oman

[@user-cy3wj9uk5s]

I think the two of you should publish a book on travel and all the places, contacts and accommodations you stay at with your lovely pictures. I would buy it in a second. I know it's a lot of work, but well worth the price. you would need to charge. Especially the off the beaten path and more unusual places.
