Family TravelTravel TipsAbout Flying the Nest
Flying the Nest is run by Stephen and Jess, accompanied by their children Hunter and baby Koa. Since July 2, 2014 the channel has grown to one million two hundred fifty thousand subscribers and just over two hundred five million views across about one thousand four hundred videos. They upload nearly five times a month, producing family travel vlogs and travel series that cover where to stay, what to see and where to eat. The videos are long form vlogs and destination guides, often kid friendly, spanning cruises, flights, trains and destinations around the globe.
If you travel with kids, this channel feels like a reassuring travel companion. We enjoy the warm, family-forward vlogs that balance practical planning with everyday moments, and they are especially strong on food-focused episodes like "We Tried Turkish Street Food in Istanbul." The channel is prolific, posting about five videos a month, so there is always new destination material or an update from the road. Watch for 48 hour guides, cruise and train experiences, and honest family reactions that make planning trips with children feel manageable and fun.
