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…

Christmas & New Year’s with Our Travel Family
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…

A Thanksgiving Abroad: Celebrating in Cyprus with Our British and Kiwi Friends
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…
Exploring Cyprus
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
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…
Fostering Five Tiny Tornadoes: Our Kitten Adventure with Tala Cat Sanctuary
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…
A Father-Son Adventure in Malta
While Lucas and I stayed behind in sunny Cyprus, Michael and Henry set off on a five-day adventure to the island nation of Malta — just the two of them, ready to explore, eat, and discover everything it had to offer. Malta is a tiny island country nestled between Sicily and North Africa. Over the centuries, it’s been ruled by…
Our First Week in Cyprus: Sunshine, Swimming & Speakeasies
After six years of traveling the world as a family, we’ve landed in Cyprus for a three-month stay—our second longest stop since our COVID stay in Nicaragua. This time, we’re doing it a little differently. We’ve teamed up with two of our favorite travel families and are sharing two villas in a quiet complex with a pool—perfect for the late…
A Quick Stop in Belgrade: Two Days of Exploring the Heart of Serbia
We said good by to Zlatibor after two months. We hopped on a bus and traveled to Belgrade a couple of days before our flight. Belgrade, the vibrant capital of Serbia, welcomed us with open arms during our short two-day stopover on the way from Zlatibor to our next adventure. Even in just 48 hours, we managed to soak in…
