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…
Our second week in Malaysia was packed with fun. The moms went out twice for our book club. We may or may not talk about books, but it is a chance to catch up without the kids around. The parents also went out for an afternoon in Chinatown and attended a talk about spirituality conducted by one of the parents…
Our third Forever Wild hub was in Kuala Lumpur. We have had a great time with Amanda, Solomon, Chloe, and the Forever Wild families. Lucas and Henry love going to the hub. We also enjoy the fun community activities after hub and on weekends. In Kuala Lumpur, we stayed in a giant high-rise with several pools, an indoor and outdoor…
Worldschooling offers a unique blend of education, adventure, and cultural immersion and also opens up incredible opportunities to prioritize health and fitness in ways that are often more challenging within the constraints of traditional living. As we travel, we find that staying fit is not only achievable but also a natural extension of our worldschooling lifestyle. By engaging in various…
While Lucas was off on his teen adventure across Malaysia, we spent a week exploring Ipoh. Accompanied by three other worldschooling families, our time in Ipoh was more than just a vacation; it was an experience filled with laughter, learning, and deep connections. One of the highlights of our stay was an afternoon spent in DR Seenivasagam Recreational Park. The…
Inevitably, children grow up. Lucas is only 14, but it is not too early to start gaining independence. He and four friends—ages 15, 16, 18, and 22—planned a 6-day road trip across Malaysia, from Penang to Kuala Lumpur. The teens planned the entire trip without any input from the parents. It is hard not to advise your children. They put…
