Finally Convinced My Husband!

It took some time and a lot of convincing, but I finally convinced my husband to try world schooling and traveling with our kids!

We had talked about it for a long time, but we never made any real progress toward it until finally we decided it was going to happen and set a leave by date .

We’ve been traveling on and off for a year and a half using our home in Oregon as a home base and bouncing around!

And what does he say now?

✅He’s sick of the US food system! We all noticed we feel better less information and pain while we are abroad and personally I can eat gluten abroad and I am gluten intolerant at home.

✅He loves all of the extra family bonding time !

✅He’s hooked!

... Read moreWorldschooling is a growing educational and lifestyle movement where families choose to travel the world and educate their children through real-life experiences instead of traditional classroom settings. This approach offers flexibility, cultural immersion, and the opportunity to learn directly from diverse environments. One of the key benefits of worldschooling is the enhanced family bonding time. Traveling together allows families to share new experiences, solve challenges as a team, and create lasting memories that strengthen relationships. Parents often find that this time together deepens communication and understanding with their children. Health improvements are another notable advantage, as seen in many families who travel abroad. Avoiding the US food system, which can be heavily processed and filled with additives, can lead to better digestion and fewer allergies or intolerances. For example, some travelers report being able to tolerate foods abroad, such as gluten, which may cause issues at home due to differences in food production and ingredients. The transition to worldschooling requires careful planning. Setting a clear leave-by date and preparing children for a less conventional learning path helps ease the transition. Maintaining a home base, such as the Oregon home mentioned, offers stability while enabling flexibility to explore different regions. For families considering this lifestyle, it’s important to research visa requirements, health insurance, and education standards in destination countries. Balancing travel with rest and routine ensures that the educational experience is positive and sustainable. In summary, worldschooling provides an enriching alternative to traditional education that supports family health and connection while exposing children to unique cultural learning opportunities. Many families who embrace it find themselves delighted by the personal growth and deeper bonds formed on their journeys.
