🎉 Rachel Carlson and her family have been traveling full-time for over seven years. Despite initial challenges and a period of loneliness, they found a solution by creating the World School Pop-Up Hub, a community-focused initiative that brings traveling families together for shared experiences.
🌎 This move addressed their children's need for consistent peer interaction and allowed them to continue their travels while building lasting friendships across continents.
👍 The world schooling experience has profoundly influenced Rachel's children as they launched into adulthood, choosing to pursue their passions and developing a strong sense of independence and problem-solving.
✨ IN THIS EPISODE:
- The evolution from homeownership to working online and starting a nomadic full time travel lifestyle with teens and tweens.
- Opting for unschooling as the kids became more engaged in learning directly from their environments, such as exploring Roman ruins in Italy or understanding local culture through fishing.
- Overcoming the challenge of loneliness and lack of consistent community by creating the World School Pop-Up Hub to allow traveling families to connect with each other.
- Their financial strategies before traveling and while living on the road including a focus on cutting accommodation and transit costs while not focusing on food and experience expenses.
