[@LJ412jag.]

Hey guys, I just want to say I don't bother if you go traveling or anything. Your videos are amazing no matter where you are❤❤❤❤

[@bronwynquinn4477]

Me too! I would watch you just chill at home and eat Vegemite sangas xxxx

[@missrotf]

Perfect example of how what u love somehow morphs into something greater than u can imagine. Thank u. These series are so exactly what ur family is during these journeys. Love love love. I’m getting these for myself. For my inner child. 💜

[@sarahoehrtman623]

We live in the US. Can't wait to get it for our little girl. She's 22 months old, and she absolutely loves the first book. She says wheels wheels when she wants us to read it to her. Her uncle's name is Hunter, so she calls baby Hunter uncle Hunter super cute, lol. She points at the pictures and says Stephen, Jess, and Uncle Hunter. Sometimes, she gets it and says baby Hunter. She loves finding the bunny in every page. Thank you for this wonderful book.

[@trevorboivin4639]

I’ve been watching your content for years now, since before you were engaged I believe. Your beautiful spirits always bring a smile to my face, and you inspired me to start traveling myself! I am so thrilled with every new adventure you take and am so happy for you. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

[@angelamouland8012]

Ashlee is so cute. Her attention to detail and knowledge of your videos is so good. It makes the books extra special. She was the perfect illustrator for you guys.

[@flyingthenest]

Agreed! She is incredible

[@AWO2250]

Hello!! I bought my daughter your book and the illustration is amazing!! I noticed on the first page there is a spell check not sure if you have noticed this. The first sentence is “I have a long, long list of places that I want see.” The word “to” is missing from “I want see”. Congrats on the second book!!

[@flyingthenest]

Yes we did notice it 😫 will be fixed for the second round if printing 🤍

[@mrscb5303]

Congratulations!!! This is so amazing! I’m thrilled for you guys. Been watching since Hunter was just walking and I’ve never been disappointed. Thank you for letting us be part of your family. I hope you have a relaxing holiday season at home with your family and look forward to what is to come this new year 🧡🖤🧡

[@flyingthenest]

oh wow thanks so much for the lovely comment we really appreciate it!!

Thank you so much for Bringing us a long 💕 Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas & All the very Best for 2024 🍾🥂🎉.

[@flyingthenest]

aww really appreciate it thanks so much for watching and all your support!!

[@catherineb6561]

I hope I live 15+ more years and see what type of person Hunter grows up to be (and your son, of course). I watch other vloggers who have teenagers that have travelled the world, but not as young as yours. I hope you keep up your "world travels" for many years to come so I can see how your travels shape your children. I love travelling to new place, and wish I could have started at a younger age. I know we only see the "good" times but I still get a sense that the world is inspiring your children. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Glad your were able to go home for Christmas (Jesse looked to happy to be able to decorate!!!) .

[@hilarymoloney1711]

I like your videos. They are upbeat and happy; full of colour of light. They are a ray of much needed sunshine in todays world.

[@projectnade]

Massive congrats guys! Gosh I certainly got teary eyed for Ashlee in the book store. Can't wait for book 2.

[@helendawood8868]

Congratulations guys . I’ve cried from all mixed emotions. Proud of you as an Australian . Happy for you as an example of such wonderful family and after all this you really deserve it. Welcome home . Love you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@travelwithwife]

Congratulations. Love you all ❤❤❤

[@flyingthenest]

Thank you!!

[@redsmom6]

You two are absolutely amazing! I’m so glad our family got to meet you at the book signing in London. Definitely going to get the second book! Also, PLEASE do a series on travelling with littles! It would be so helpful!❤️

[@flyingthenest]

aww thanks SO mcuh for coming out to the book signing :)!! Hehe we hope to do a little course next year on that :)

[@GinnyRM]

Congrats on the 2nd book, currently unavailable on Amazon bc it's so popular🎉 I wanted your advice. I had somewhat of a challenging pregnancy and to relax I fell in love with your Italy ( especially tuscany) videos! I would envision myself in the future there with my little guy chasing after the bees and hummingbirds! It truly helped me. Fast forward months later and my husband has gifted me tgat same trip to Italy! Our son will be 23 months when we travel. My question to you as travelers with kids is what itinerary is best: Option 1: Flight 1 - 5:30pm - 1:30 am Layover - 4 hours Flight 2 - 3 hours Option 2 Flight 1 - 5:30pm - 1:30 am Layover - 14 hours ( spend tge night in airport hotel) Flight 2 - NEXT day at 12: 30 pm ( 3 hours) You all make it look so easy, I am so nervous that he will cry from ear pain and not sleep so any advice is appreciated. Sorry for the long message. Love your videos!

[@flyingthenest]

aww wow the support has been next level! hehe I think there's def a few shops in Aus that can do international shipping too!

[@Shift0231]

Congratulations! You deserve every success! Having worked in school libraries for many years, I have an appreciation for children’s literature and their illustrations, and am well aware of the hard work that goes into publishing them. I particularly like to make a point of supporting home-grown literary talent. Merry Christmas 🎄and all the best for safe travels for you and your gorgeous family in the New Year! Going online now to order copies of both books!

[@flyingthenest]

aww thanks so much!!!

[@darkknight8139]

Congratulations on your second book! I am watching this video with tears of joy in my eyes, I am so happy for you. I subscribed to your channel a very long time ago, and I got your first book as a present. I cannot wait to read it, that will start very soon. And I will certainly be on the lookout to get your second book here in The Netherlands. Thank you for creating this fantastic content! Happy holidays, and happy travels!

[@TiffanyRitter-j6e]

Just purchased both your books for my son’s birthday x can’t wait to surprise him

[@flyingthenest]

Aww thanks so much!!

[@walkingwithsteve0583]

Can’t believe I’ve been following you from about subscriber ?5000 or something like that. You’ve all blossomed and inspired. Merry Christmas special family. X

[@njjen3953]

I live about 3 hours from New York City. If you ever plan a trip to.New York, I will make the trip to see my favorite KZbin family.

[@flyingthenest]

Hope to head back :)

[@linda319]

California Linda says Congratulations 🎉🎉 on the second book, and 🎄Merry Christmas to you and your family. We will be in Australia in February, and we are hoping to purchase a copy of the latest travel adventures (only on the Australian Amazon website, currently out of stock and not available to date in the States). We will be waiting patiently for book three featuring Koa's and Hunter's travel experiences. What a beautiful family!

[@Forgetmeknotfilmsau]

Woooo, omg had no idea this was out already and literally bought it while watching the video. When hunter saw th cover I started crying!!! What beautiful memories you’re making for her and now Koa. ❤ These will be the luckiest kids ever to get to look back on their whole life recorded ❤

[@bethsouthwell]

Oh my gosh! You guys! Your new book is sooooooo beautiful! I literally bought 3 COPIES and gave them to young families (because I work at ZONE Bowling) and their little girls (who are around the same age as Hunter) love it badly.

[@flyingthenest]

aww NO WAY!! thanks so much!! hope they enjoy it!!

[@AdamW77]

Great news. Congratulations. I think you’ve given us plenty to watch and there’s enough to go back and rewatch too. If you are in the UK again at some point then fish and chips - try Anstruther Fish Bar. That is the best I’ve had. It’s a really nice little harbour town in Fife. Then there’s Murgaytoyd’s near Leeds Airport. That’s the best according to people who know better than me.

[@hidmaster6837]

Congratulations 🎉❤ you guys make sure to go back to your videos and teach Koa everything you taught Hunter, sometimes with a 2nd child everyone believes the sibling will share same lessons but it doesn't work out that way so you have your videos as a parenting guide unlike the rest of us what a wonderful treasure ❤ Love and Laughs Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎉

[@barryfletcher7136]

Merry Christmas to you all and I hope you have a Happy New Year!

[@markbalaam1645]

It was so lovely to meet you at the book signing in London! I was the third person to meet you (the little teacher guy with the baseball cap!) and I was touched that you spent so much time talking to us. I hope all goes well with the second book.
