Week three in Bali was a big week for Lucas. Let’s face it– the last year has been a big year for Lucas. He has grown so much physically and emotionally. He went from a kid to a full-fledged teenager. I now literally look up to him. He has me beat by about two inches. Independence is something we talk…
Our second week in Ubud was jam-packed. The kids had hub Monday through Thursday with their after-hub activities (book club, art club, swimming, etc.). Michael and Lucas spent a lot of time playing Padel. I went for a spa day where I got a body scrub, a body mask, and a one-hour reflexology massage. We also went into town see…
Henry celebrated his 12th birthday in Tejakula, Bali with friends and family. We spent a lovely day swimming, flying a kite, and playing games. Henry had his first massage. He was happy to spend his birthday with his Uncle Sam and AC, and his friends the Sigstons and the Sollers. We had another great buffet dinner at our villa. We…
Bali was supposed to be our first stop on our worldschooling adventure in 2019. Michael’s second cancer diagnosis derailed our plans, but we finally made it five years later. We spent three nights in Padangbai with our friends Jill and Declan. Padangbai is a transportation hub and not where we would recommend staying for an extended period. We stayed there…
Maldives is a bucket list item for Michael. It is an exotic location that garnered many oooohs and aaaahs from people when we said we were going there. The Maldives is southwest of Sri Lanka and India, about 470 miles from the mainland of Asia. It is the smallest country in Asia and has a population of about 500,000 people.…
Michael is a numbers guy. He wants to go to as many countries as he can so he took a side trip to Brunei. Brunei is a small but wealthy Islamic nation on the island of Borneo with 460,000 people. The official religion is Islam, and around two-thirds of the population is Muslim. Brunei’s Sultan, Hassanal Bolkiah, is the country’s…
I had this Singapore post prepared, but I never published it, so I am interrupting our regularly scheduled programming to drop this post in despite the fact that we went to Singapore three months ago. The last stop with Melissa, Mike, Barrett, and Violet was Singapore. It is where we first landed when we flew to Southeast Asia, but we…
Our last week of the Forever Wild Kuala Lumpur hub was bittersweet. We had a great week, but at the end of the week, we had to say, “See you again in the world” to some of our favorite worldschooling friends. Some we will see sooner rather than later, but we never like parting ways. This was our third hub…
Several Forever Wild families took a trip to the Sky Mirror in Kuala Selangor. This natural wonder only appears twice a month, during the new and full moons, when the tides pull back to reveal a vast sandbank that perfectly reflects the sky, creating the illusion of walking on water. The journey was an hour-and-a-half bus ride to Kuala Selangor…
Week three of the Forever Wild Hub was full of more adventure. On Monday, the kids spent the day climbing trees at Taman Rimba Kiara. Tuesday was a rainy day, but Solomon, Amanda, and the kids still found fun at Sunway Velocity Two. Book club, craft club, playground time and swimming, Karaoke, parent roundtables and parent nights out were also…
