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.

Welcome back to Switzerland - we have arrived in Zurich with a goal in mind - check out the rumours to see if Switzerland really is as expensive as they say! Next stop renting a car and heading out - where should we go?

Travelled a lot in my life, live in Zurich since 4 years. When you earn a salary here, this is by far one of the most liveable cities in the world. I love it here and want to raise my family here!

I was smiling the entire video. The part Jess gets the coin and Hunter went flying in those chairs, just hilarious!!! Thank you for brightening up our days, what a wonderful blog <3

As a swiss person I often forget how beautiful switzerland is when you stop and take a moment to look at it

I am from Zurich, grew up in Zurich and still live here. I love seeing you guys really enjoying the city to the fullest. It is so nice to watch the movie as i know all the places you have visited in this video. Sadly i didn't bump into you guys in Zurich... enjoy Switzerland - it is so worth it. Hug

8:54 I had to smile when you described the location of your AirBnb as "outside the town". Because your AirBnb was still right in the city and in a very popular part of town. It's a shame you didn't discover the river baths, nice bars or the industrial quarter right next to your Airbnb, that would have been a bit more authentic than the very touristy old town, where practically no people live anymore. But nevertheless: I really enjoyed watching your video.

I remember being SHOOK to my core at the prices! My husband and I ended up buying ice cream at a grocery store and eating it in a park at Zurich for lunch because that’s all we could afford. But those experiences made special memories. I can’t wait to watch your Switzerland series!

Im from Switzerland and it is really amazing how you manage to make every tiny thing to look absolutely adorable! Loved every single one of your Switzerland video. They are such a great quality! Keep on going and have a nice trip trough Europe :)

I was watching this at my mom's house and she passed by and said "what movie are you watching and I told her it was my favorite travel vloggers and this is youtube. She could NOT believe it, she said but it looks so polished and I'm listening to all sorts of interesting dialogue". I told her Stephen is just extremely good at what he does and they have a lot of experience.

I LOVED this one - the pace of it, everything you guys did in Zurich. We plan to travel there next year with our little one so this was great to watch. Also, seeing how happy little Hunter is just makes me smile so much! I hope you do more like these!

I am from switzerland and i smiled the whole video because its fun to see how other people see the country switzerland.

Im living in Germany and i can say everything is doubled in price in Zürich.it is a rich city and people earn good. Lindt balls are also in grocery stores and Kaufhof in Germany in different flavors. Zwitzerland's nature is another level.

[susandibble]

Oh I loved this. And especially how Hunter loves to say “this is nice” and “wow” bless her little heart 🤗

Regarding the free water fountains: any fountain without a label or warning can be considered safe to drink. By law, only non-potable water fountains have to be labelled. This is in contrast to other countries where potable water is explicitly labelled as such

We’re living in Zurich with two kids. Big smile on my face when I saw Hinter enjoyed the same playgrounds and activities I’ve just visited with my boys. There’s so much more to discover. Swimming elephants, beautiful hikes trough ravines in the city area, two cable railways. It’s a wonderful place to raise children here…

Welcome to Zurich! I'm living here now for 36years and can't imagine go back to my country. It's expensive yes but if you speak german (hard to learn) you can easily find a job to earn enough to live here. Enjoy Switzerland!

[kingabobrowska]

I have been in Zurich already twice and it is one of my favorite places in the world! I do recommend a place that you haven't been, Hiltl, which is an oldest vegetarian restaurant in the world. Their weekend buffet is to die for!

Hunter flying around in the swing chairs "Hello Mommy", LOL, she is too adorable!

[yogerke]

Omg, when music was playing I think you were near the hotel where we stayed. The fondue meal there was worth it!

[jonaskamber]

Really enjoying your videos. As a Swiss, its so nice to see you exploring our country. Love the positive vibes!
