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…
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…
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…
Henry just hit Level 13, and if life were a video game, he’d be playing on expert mode. Since we started our world travel adevnture when he was 7, he’s racked up 52 countries, a lot of passport stamps, and enough stories to make geography teachers jealous. He’s Advanced Scuba Certified— He got certified in Thailand, advanced scuba certified in…
As soon as Lucas turned 15, he flew from Bucharest to Italy with several of his worldschooling friends to attend the Speak Teens camp, and what an adventure it turned out to be! Speak Teens is a week-long English immersion camp where international teens help Italian kids improve their English through conversation and fun activities. Lucas and his friends were…
Some nights are magic, and this one makes the list. After a few weeks of traveling just the four of us, we reunited with our worldschooling friends in Budapest — 15 of us altogether — to see Imagine Dragons live in concert! It was a night we’d been looking forward to for months. In fact, we booked the tickets back…
We used to wonder if choosing a non-traditional lifestyle meant our kids might miss out on the classic milestones—school dances, team sports, senior pranks, that whole big coming-of-age storybook. And then Lucas went to prom in Budapest. On a river cruise. On the Danube. With a stretch Hummer limo. So… yeah. We’re not worried about that anymore. Picture this: over…
We enjoyed our time in Budva. It was relaxing, and the weather warmed up as the month went on. A large group of us took a two-hour hike along the coast from Budva to Sveti Stefan. It is a small resort town home to a five-star resort. The resort was not open, but we had a lovely lunch by the…
