- After moving back into our van, there's a lot of new adjusting to do now that our little toddler is bigger...the question is - is tiny house living still for us?

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.
As always inspired by our friends Kara and Nate, Eamon and Bec and Kinging It.
Hope you all enjoying the return to Van Life it has seriously been so much fun moving back into Cooper!! Where in Australia should we go next?
Would absolutely recommend visiting Halls Gap/Grampians for incredible cliff views, wild rock wallabies and Roos, and the sweetest zoo ever! We just moved to the Vic boarder from Newcastle and that’s been one of our favourite places to explore in Victoria xx
You should take Hunter to Sovereign Hill in Ballarat! And I second the Grampians (Dunkeld!) and Port Fairy on the coast, just over an hour south. I'm biased, as a Western District local! But we have some of the most beautiful country in Victoria here.
Hi, I really love your videos! But in your last video your video you asked yourselves, if you needed to adjust Hunters carseat and yes, you definitely have to. Her head should not stick out/ go over the end of the seat... if you can't adjust it further you need a new one, at best one that is still rear faced. We have one here (I. E. In Germany ) that is rear faced up until the age of four, which is safest for a child.
Or maybe you can get one that swivels?
definitely recommend far east Gippsland coastal camping spots, they can be hard to get to but worth it!

It's so exciting to see Hunter learning to talk, and seeing her grow up. She is so adorable, and you are both doing a great job! Watching her experincing the world and new adventures is my favorite part of your videos 💛
Hunter is such a character, I love her little personality. She is growing so fast!
I love how you can hear little Hunters Australian accent coming through now that's she starting to talk xx
Hunter sneezing to turn off the lights was so cute!
Love the magazine too! So exciting!!
I love that little cute "I do". Hunter is such a joy to watch🧡🧡
Best way to spend a Sunday is by watching our favorite Australian family!
100% agreed
Especially when you live in Australia!
@@boba9640 I used to live in Australia so it makes me extra happy seeing a CZcams channel based there
My daughter is the same age as Hunter, and listening to you reflect on how big she is now during the marshmallow bit got me all weepy cause GIRL I feel the same way over here 😭 we’ve got a baby boy arriving in June too and it’s just WILD how time flies and babies grow so fast. Makes you wish there was a pause button ❤️
I love how Hunter says “I do” and she is probably having the best life in all of those beautiful places! Honestly watching you guys gives me sooo much inspiration🤍
Hunter is the most adorable little toddler. You are making so many memories
Recommend camping at the Prom! Most southern point of mainland Australia!
Little secret spot to visit is Waratah Bay pretty close to Wilson’s Prom - 40 mins. Find a very safe surf beach, rock pools with crabs and all sorts you can touch and play with. (Obviously keeping in mind normal beach rules around Aus). Just walk west 100 m down the beach and my fav as a kid was poking the tiny anemone things and they close up. Everything in there is safe for kids! Other fun thing is just around sunrise and sunset thousands of little crabs all emerge at once from the wet sand like a sea. I love it!
There is a caravan park there as needed.
How your family lives your life is just pure joy. Rightfully to be featured on the front page of the magazine.
I was definitely crying with Jess when she reminisced on Hunter’s first marshmallow. Seeing baby girl all grown up, from your birth story, to the bi-monthly updates and now. It’s so very moving! All the best to your beautiful fam on #lifewithcooper and looking forward to more adventures!
Literally brings tears to my eyes watching your adventures with Hunter :) So amazing following your journey ❤️❤️❤️
Awww, wow. Hunter's excitement for life and learning is just such a beautiful thing. Her little personality is the best of both of you... happy, curious, bright, smart, passionate. I'm so honored to be included in your journey watching her grow up. So much love to your little family from PA, USA. ❤️
The Otways along the Great Ocean Road are beautiful, and there are fireflies in the rainforest at night, along with waterfalls 😍
Watching you guys for a few years now and watching Hunter grow from birth til now is so dramatic. I love how happy she gets when she’s near the water… I’ll be anxiously awaiting the day you guys go back to the Philippines with Hunter!
Always look forward to these vids. Have lunch while watching these haha. You all are the best, hope when I have a family can do this one day. Love from NY❤️
So in love with the flying the nest family. Would really appreciate slightly longer videos.
It's great to see you getting back into the swing of things. You always manage to find the most way out amazing spots. Congratulations on your first magazine feature.
Congrats on the magazine feature. That’s amazing and you totally deserve it!
I just love watching your videos! It warms my heart to see you with Hunter, encouraging her to be adventurous and eager to try new things. I look forward to your videos each week and they always leave me with a smile on my face!
You guys are so awesome to watch I've been watching since the beginning and yall have stayed the same loving people you were in the beginning I absolutely love this channel ❤
Seeing Hunter grow is amazing! Thank you so much for continuing your journey and allowing us viewers a chance to experience it with you and your family!

Such a great video - I'm so happy that you are continuing van life with Hunter!
I just LOVE how Hunter turns off the light and yes Hunter has grown quite a bit since you first got Cooper. It's so beautiful watching you all x Thanks for sharing your life 🤩 Happy Easter flying nesters 👌💕

Aside from wishing to travel all the spots you've been too, I do hope that I can also have that same kind of family of yours. How I wish to have a soooo adorable kid like Hunter, and the most amazing and full of surprises husband like Steve! Thank you for sharing your story to all of us! You're all sooo good people to watched too!!!! To morw travel Nesters!!!!
One of the best Vlog family on CZcams
How cool is that to have an article in a magazine about you guys! And cover photo. Well done !
omg i am blown away from seeing how big hunter is like WOW! 🙂😉😇😇😇😇
It’s so great to see hunter and you guys back in the van love you
Healesville sanctuary- Victoria,
Also Great Ocean Road. Anglesea don't miss. Hunter will love it. Great camping ground there.
Your videos are so fun! Hunter is also the cutest. 😍 I loved her little reactions at 4:22. So precious!
Thank you guys so mucn for showcasing Philippines and for coming over there to see its gem.
I am born in the Philippines grew up there but now living here in perth. We will visit family next year so they cn see our daughter for the very first time we havent back in philippines for over 3 years now since pandemic hit. even im far away from my home country australia is my home too and love it here both country will always be my home💜
So sweet! ☺️☺️🥰Nothing like a campfire with marshmallows followed by a day and night at the beach! Hunter will grow up with these wonderful experiences and appreciation for nature! 🙏❤️🌏🌊🏖🏕 Thank you for sharing these beautiful places, and yes, Philippines is a country I would like to visit some day. Have a great week, and looking forward to the next video! ☺️☺️
I cannot tell you how much joy it brings to watch little Hunter grow - what a personality! You are incredible parents, and what a gift you are giving your daughter with the time spent together, the adventures, and everything you do as a family. When my first son was born, I was afraid of him, never having had experience around children. I am sad to say we did not have these types of experiences with our boys because of our lack of confidence in our own parenting. No matter, as teenagers, we do so much together and they are truly my favorite people. I take cues from you now, giving them experiences rather than things. We are a closer family for it.
Hunter is so sweet. Australia is so beautiful. Always getting good vibes when watching your videos. Love to see you back in the van finishing the tour of Australia. I hope that one day I'll be able to visit your beautiful country. Cheers from Transylvania, Romania. 🙂
I just love watching your videos. You guys are the most cutest travel family ever.
I love your Australian adventures the most. so happy your back in cooper!
Love watching all your adventures.
Hey Guys.. Glad you are home x Hunter is growing so fast.
Glad to see you starting your new adventures back in Cooper. I can’t believe how fast Hunter is growing and getting more adorable everyday! No matter where you go, I’m game to see your adventures!
The sunrise on the beach was spectacular! Please, if you get a chance on July 27th this year, they’re having the annual wild pony crossing on Assateague and Chincateague Islands. Look it up, and see if that would be your cup of tea. I’ve been to it a few times when I was a lot younger, and loved it, especially the wild ponies!
Have fun whatever you choose, I know I will watching your vlogs!
This is so incredible and the baby's laugh is genuine
hunter waving from the window when steve was stepping out the van in the morning was so adorable !!!!
You guys are great! Love seeing your travels and your contagious energy! Always happy when watching your videos
P.s. I would LOVE to finally visit the Philippines for the first time! 🇵🇭 Especially being Filipino-American!
Congratulations on the magazine spread! Whoop whoop
Great vlog as always! My secret to a happy life is treasure the simple things, like you do. Enjoy a cup of coffee at sundown. Memories are created together! Keep up the good work!
Living off the grid is not for everyone especially those with kids. But you guys made it seem like a walk in a park. Truly enjoyed watching your adventures. And Hunter is so previous. You guys sure make great parents. Love from Singapore ❤️🇸🇬
You two are seriously my parenting inspiration! Hunter is so laid back, adventurous, curious, and open to all these experiences. It's clearly because you're exposing her to everything at such a young age and it's going to pay off big time! I've got a little one on the way and I hope she'll be half as good at traveling as Hunter.
Hllo , where are you from dear ?
What a beautiful spot to wake up to! Warm regards from sunny South Africa.
Would love to see you explore the York Peninsula in South Australia. It’s on our bucket list … happy to live vicariously through you until we get there!
Beautiful video. Love your van life videos!
Great vlog! You were in my home territory, Gippsland! What magnificent views of the ocean to take in over breakfast. I think your family is definitely getting the most out of van life. I think the secret to van travel is to break regularly to do other things that way it stays new and exciting. I just ordered the Caravan and Camping with Kids edition featuring your family. Looking forward to reading it. Fantastic front cover photo. I’d love to see you visit Sovereign Hill in Ballarat as that is where I took my children when they were little. It’s a great family place with so much to see and do. Xxxxx
Love your videos, congrats for the magazine 🎉👏
What a perfect view for a bath!
Thank you for sharing your life with us
Thank you for featuring our country. Im proud to be a Pilipino. Been an avid fan of your vlogs all the way from the Philippines.
I'm always amazed at how you find the most interesting and beautiful places to stay. Congratulations on the Cover story about you 🎉🎊
Have you guys been to Tasmania yet? It’s really cool down there and there are lots of surf beaches, bush walks, mountain biking tracks and natural swimming pools!
You guys live the best life!
I love local swimming holes!. I have one in my small town United States! It's so beautiful!
You can tell how much work is put into these videos.
As someone else mentioned, the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie is definitely a great stop.
Other great places to visit in Vic: Steavenson Falls, Healesville Sanctuary, Redwood Forest, Rainforest Gallery.
Mt Dandenong has so many gorgeous places to visit. Waterfalls, cute shops and great views.
You also really need to take Hunter on Puffing Billy from Belgrave to Emerald Lake! I think you would all love it.
Really looking forward to seeing your videos of Victoria!!!
I’d love to visit the Philippines! What a great sponsorship!
Yes! Now my Sunday is better! You folks fight the Sunday blahs. Go Hunter!
Aww what a beautiful family vlog I really enjoy watching all your family travel videos and vlogs ❤️❤️
Delightful vlog! Thanks kindly for sharing! 🇨🇦❤️🇦🇺
