Finding Community on the Go: Why We Don’t Stick to Just One Travel TribeNovember 27, 2025 - 7:27 pm
Guest Post by Alex Parrish @saltyvagabonds When we first stepped into this travel lifestyle, most of our days were spent with the boating crowd. It made sense, we were living on the water, and naturally, those were the people around us. But over time, our circles grew. Not because we set out to “find more […]
Stories from the Road – Moab, UtahOctober 14, 2025 - 11:52 am
Moonflower Canyon is spectacularly situated against deep-red cliffs streaked with black vertical lines called desert varnish. Since it’s on land that’s part of the Bureau of Land Management and not actually a national park, dogs can roam and kids can climb freely. We’re on the outskirts of Moab down Kane Creek Road, a popular route […]

Planning for Launch Many families experience transitions galore during their worldschooling journey, sometimes even before they leave home. As your launch date nears, feeling sorrow or grief is perfectly normal. It’s also totally fine to feel none of that and just be excited about the trip ahead. When it comes time, involve your kids […]
Stories from the Road – Somewhere in the Amazon, BrazilOctober 14, 2025 - 11:48 am
They tell us not to take anything out of the jungle. It is our last day at Pousada Uacari. Situated at a tight bend in the Japurá River, a wide feeder to the Amazon about a mile away, it is a place so remote that its location was described to us simply as “two […]
Coming Home – Angela’s FamilyOctober 14, 2025 - 11:47 am
I was standing on the musty, shadowed wraparound porch of an old farmhouse, looking for the first time at a view that would soon become familiar. Mark and I were on a late-December house-hunting trip to Colorado while the boys were with family in Ohio. A week before, we’d taken our final safari drive […]
Stories from the Road – Naxos, GreeceOctober 14, 2025 - 11:46 am
Past the freshwater spring, the well-maintained trail has been petering steadily out. We find ourselves using arms and legs to scamper up the hillside. A goatherd and his tinkling, shaggy charges are on the opposite valley wall. “I see it!” says Lucy, pointing to a doorway cemented into the hillside. “Finally!” says Kai. […]

Stories from the Road – Deadvlei, NamibiaOctober 14, 2025 - 11:43 am
We wake at 3:30 a.m., having committed to a desert safari in Namib-Naukluft National Park that starts at 4:00. Unlike a typical safari into a fauna-rich savanna, our aim today is to explore the massive sand dunes in the oldest desert in the world. At this hour, and without moisture to cloud the stars, […]

Stories from the Road – Weminuche Wilderness, Durango, ColoradoOctober 14, 2025 - 11:36 am
Charlie, my hubby, stays back with Max, our dog, while Johnny and I go on a multiday wilderness excursion with our good friends Kaitilin, David, and their kids, West and Zoe. With full backpacks and scuffed hiking boots, our crew disembarks from the Narrow Gauge tourist train in Elk Park, a grassy subalpine meadow along […]
