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.

    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.
