    Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter, 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 completed our lap, said our goodbyes, and resumed full-time travel before we wait for our second baby to arrive.

    I’ve heard about this place. Would love to understand the process (and vendors) you used to get to the resort. We would be coming from the US (Chicago area). This looks like a FABULOUS place and an experience not to be missed.

    So beautiful! This has been my dream trip since seeing it on Kara and Nate's channel but I always thought my kids had to be a bit older. Thanks for showing me I was wrong and I can do this with kids!

    • @Lee-cs3mu

      And Hunter singing little mermaid was adorable!!!!

  • @travelertrome8449
    @travelertrome8449 Před 10 měsíci +12

    It is amazing how you guys are in such a stunning location yet Hunter still steals the show. Her personality comes out more and more with each vlog! And I think I am even starting to hear her have an Australian accent? And what a jaw dropping location. Amazing!!

  • @ZoeShears
    @ZoeShears Před 10 měsíci +10

    I absolutely love watching your adventures. The amazing culture you are introducing your children to is amazing. I can't wait till Koa is older and is running around with his sister.

    I cannot thank you enough for taking me to places I’ve never heard of or thought I’d see!! This place was absolutely gorgeous but the true highlight was the singing mermaid 😉 I just admire you all for the wonderful humans you are raising. Or maybe mermaids 🧜‍♀️ 😊

    @DanielCameraAction Před 10 měsíci +11

    Wow, that looks so beautiful. I've stayed on a houseboat in Vietnam which was a great experience but now I really wanna stay on this one too someday, definitely adding it to the bucket list!

  • @sejibee
    @sejibee Před 10 měsíci +3

    Honestly, I developed a short attention span so I don't usually watch videos for over 15 mins long but this vlog is one of those exceptions. I enjoy every second of this. I always get to watched different Palawan vlogs but this is my first time seeing the house boat so this got me really interested and the fact that you have your cute little kiddos traveling with you made everything perfect. My favorite part was when Hunter was singing 'Part of your World' while his daddy went on diving. Baby Koa is so cute too! You really made their childhood so special and they will forever remember that feeling.

  • @Lovelifeandtravel
    @Lovelifeandtravel Před 10 měsíci +23

    Awesome video as always. Loved the editing Stephen! The pirate and mermaid scenes were cute and creative! The Philippines has never been on my radar but you certainly opened my eyes to the beauty of that area and now I’m tempted.

    This place is Gorgeous and I even had my husband watch and he was so Beautiful how clear the water, food, boat ride, how there is so much to do and you can swim and jump off the deck. I want to go here so bad. Hunter & Koa will have so many stories to tell there friends, grandparents, and the adventures they have been on. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

  • @bealong8718
    @bealong8718 Před 10 měsíci +1

    OMG, I found your channel about 4 years ago, looking thru all of your vids, seeing you already had 4 years of videos and deciding I could catchup by watching the new day’s video, and if I watched 2-3 historical ones to catch up the whole collection. I just love the progression of your channel and the ease you have expanded your family while still travelling. Hunter is one smart, wide-eyed cookie, and so much humour she has - it’s been so amazing! Seeing Hunter and Koa travelling with you and learning new things together, is just wonderful.
    To get to the point - I can’t believe how fast Hunter is growing and talking, how she tries almost anything to eat and such a relaxed traveller. Something about this video just feels like you’ve “arrived” at that point you wanted to, 8 years ago, when waving goodbye to your families. This is truly one of my favourite CZcams channels, hoping we can make it to one of the group travels in 2-3 years. Much love and travel safe ❤
