  • Head to www.squarespace.com/flyingthe... - Today we've decided to head up to one of the most isolated mountain hostels in Switzerland - no cars will get you there with the only means via a gondola to get to our 45 Swiss Franc a night hostel.

    I love how you are always including little information about the places here and there. This shows sincere interest. Most tourists come to Switzerland to take pictures without taking it all in and having an actual look around and interest and curiosity in the culture. This is much appreciated. ✨🙏🏼

  • @travelmurmur
    @travelmurmur Před rokem +38

    Our top favourite moments in this video:
    - Hunter's long long hug when Steve came back 😭❤️
    - Steve and Hunter rolling down the mountain (Hunter literally has the best dad)
    - Watching Steve on the mountain cart/trycicle
    Also, at some point, it looked like the background was fake because it was just soooo beautiful it looked unreal!

    Ok, Hunter is the luckiest child in the world. I’m 64 and jealous. Been to Lucerne 20 summers in a row on our elite high school music ensemble trip. Always looked forward to getting there. We often stayed nearby in Engleberg. Surrounded by alps and the most beautiful church. I cannot describe the emotions of conducting an outstanding group of musicians in an outdoor setting and turning around to acknowledge the applause with the mountains and waterfalls in the background. I’m still available for adoption, low maintenance, excellent with children, music teacher. Just saying. 😁

    This entire vlog is like a dream. The beauty of your surroundings is so stunning it doesn't feel real. As a father of a 5 year old, the scene when Hunter hugged Stephen for very long and gave a kiss felt so heartwarming, evoking feelings in me on how much I love my son. Thank you for this! Simply wonderful!! ♥️♥️

Of course I have loved most all of what you do and look forward to your posts. Thank you for taking us along.

    We stayed at that exact same AirBnB in Lucerne and absolutely loved it. The owners live next door and are both retired architects. They have done a beautiful job restoring the cottage and it remains one of our favourite Airbnb places we have stayed in around the world. I was thrilled to see Jess standing in front of it and recognised it immediately. Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Is the friendly pooch still there to welcome everyone?

    I've absolutely loved this series. I passed through Switzerland many years ago, and walked along that centuries old wooden bridge. It was so nice to see it again and relive my memories of that stunningly beautiful country. I am determined after watching this series to return, sooner rather than later, I hope. Brilliant filming as always. My heart was in my mouth when Jess was on that swing thing, hurtling fast towards Hunter wandering into the path of it. You cut the film there. I hope it didn't hit her.

    Glad to see you enjoyed your trip to Mt. Pilatus too. It’s great place to visit. Touristy, but for a reason. 😀 Another great vlog!
