    Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter, a traveling 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. Inspired by our friends van life journeys Kara and Nate, Eamon and Bec and Kinging it.

    I just feel like I say what amazing parents you are so often. Hunter is amazing, so smart and so verbal for so young. Also when she was born she looked so much like Stephen, now she is just a perfect combination, and adorable. Your parents must be so proud of the parents you have become.

    • @michellewatson4843
      @michellewatson4843 Před 2 lety

      That’s exactly what I thought, I loved what they showed, but couldn’t believe that they didn’t come south at all, time constraints I guess.
      Plus it seemed weird to go from the northwest, to the east coast, then across to the west, then back to the north east if that’s the actual order they went. Unless it was because of availability of the WCR etc., otherwise they could have fitted a trip south in there.

    • @flyingthenest
      @flyingthenest  Před 2 lety +1

      We did spend 10 days here but yes we were a bit time constrained coming during Easter holidays we were actually lucky to be able to even get Cooper on the Spirit as the issue was trying to get him back! If we didn’t get the spot we had we would’ve had to wait till end of May to leave which was a bit too long!!
