We are a homeschooling family that is 8 years into an open ended trip around the world and blogging about our experiences as we go. We have done some collaboration via 2.0 world-as-classroom options and looking for more and learning more about the opportunities, sharing and connection.
Monolingual American parents, trilingual/triliterate tween ( Mandarin/Spanish/English) who plays violin, piano and sings/writes songs as we roam..into math, the environment too!
Thank you Khandijah & Talia! What a nice welcome! I really enjoyed looking at both your blogs as well.
It really has been an amazing journey so far and suits us to a T. We sold everything to do this ( which was a BIG decision years in the making), but find it is easier than we expected. Making the decision and all the prep was the hard part, but todays world actually makes it quite easy to be a global nomad.
We find that we can live MUCH cheaper traveling the world, than we could at home.We live frugally like natives on just 25K a year and could do it for much less, but we like some luxurious splurges.
The 7 months of travel and 5 months of rest in one place where we do a deeper immersion, also has worked out better than expected. Last year when we first arrived in our little village, I felt like a stranger in a strange land, but now it feels like home and it will be hard when we do not come back here to winter.
We have learned so much in so many ways & want to share that with others!
