🎉 Meet Stephanie Tolk, founder of Deliberate Detour hubs, who discusses her family’s two-and-a-half-year worldschooling journey, how they navigated learning on the go and re-entry to public school.
🌎 She shares how those travels, and love for immersive cultural experiences, led her to start Deliberate Detour in Oaxaca, Mexico and Cusco, Peru.
👍 Don’t miss Stephanie’s favorite part about running these two hubs in these amazing locations (and where the third location was supposed to be!)!
✨ ACTIONABLE TIPS:
- Fund your long-term travels by renting your house out furnished.
- Prioritize long-term, slow-travel in lower cost countries, while enjoying higher cost areas for shorter stints, to save on costs.
- To move beyond tourism, use platforms like Workaway to arrange stays with local host families
- Focus on "homeschooling light," prioritizing core subjects like math and letting history and science be taught by the location.
- To prepare kids for a gap year, aim for a shorter, more focused planning window (maybe three months).
