When Michael and I look back on these years of worldschooling, one thing stands out again and again: we get to be with our kids — truly with them — every single day. That’s something most families simply don’t experience in the same way. Some days it feels like we never stop talking to each other, and other days we…
Even world travelers need a vacation every once in a while. We thought it would be relaxing to take a cruise with our worldschooling family. It was their first cruise. It was nice not having to cook and clean or decide where to go next, but it was still a busy, jam-packed week of fun and chaos. We set sail…
One of the most beautiful parts of worldschooling is the people. The friendships that form on the road have a way of turning into family—and this holiday season was a perfect reminder of that. This year, we celebrated Christmas with 17 of us and rang in New Year’s with 19, all together as our little travel tribe. Different backgrounds, different…
What a year it has been! 2025 has truly been a whirlwind of incredible adventures, and we are beyond grateful for every moment of it. From our family’s exciting travels across the globe to the unforgettable experiences shared with our worldschooling family, this year has been one for the books. Kicking Off the Year in the US: Family, Fun, and…
One of the questions we get asked a lot on our worldschooling journey is some variation of: “But…aren’t they teenagers?” There’s an expectation baked into that question — that teenagers are supposed to hate their parents, slam doors, withdraw, and rebel at every turn. And honestly, that stereotype couldn’t be further from our reality. Our teens are not perfect, but…
Celebrating Thanksgiving in Cyprus this year was one of those experiences that felt both familiar and wonderfully new. Being so far from home during the holidays can tug at the heart a bit, but this year, our British and Kiwi friends wrapped us in the coziest version of the holiday we could have imagined—curiosity, enthusiasm, and all. From the moment…
Our three months in Cyprus have flown by, but we also packed a lot in. It’s amazing how quickly a place begins to feel like home once you start exploring — and explore we certainly did. One of the boys’ favorite outings was our day at the Museum of Templar Ages, where we stepped straight into medieval history. We tried…
Halloween in Paphos turned into one of those memories you don’t plan for but end up treasuring. We decided to go all-in on costumes—face paint, outfits, the whole thing—and headed down to the harbor expecting at least a little Halloween spirit. Instead… we were it. No one else was dressed up. Not a soul. We weren’t just noticeable—we were a…
This year, we celebrated my birthday in one of the most beautiful and historic places on earth—Jordan. We spent five unforgettable days exploring deserts, ancient cities, and the lowest place on the planet. It was the perfect mix of adventure, history, and family time. Right after landing, we headed straight to the desert of Wadi Rum, where we stayed at…
Spending an extended time in Cyprus gave our travel crew the opportunity to take on a fluffy (and slightly chaotic) challenge — fostering five kittens from Tala Cats https://www.talacats.com/ here in Cyprus. Their names: Rocky, Rico, Pixel, Miles, and Lightfoot. Five little bundles of fur, energy, and squeaky meows who quickly turned our home into a mini kitten daycare! Vicki…
