Wonderstruck

This month we’ve shared five blog posts, ranging from practical to aspirational.

We began with “What is Worldschooling?” which is a primer for… what we’re all about. We throw the word around and might assume we’re all on the same page, so this post is for you if you want to learn more about the definitions, the history, and the nuances of worldschooling.

Our second post was from our Fernweh Families series. We highlighted the Salty Vagabonds, a full-time traveling family of four who use their boat as a home base. They have navigated many plot twists, storms, and new ideas with grace and grit. Enjoy that read! We’re sure you’ll be as inspired by them as we are.

Next up was a post on how to plan a family trip to Africa. Annika, along with her husband and three teens, recently returned to their traveling personas to attend a wedding in Nairobi, a safari in Kenya, and a trip along the Nile. In this post, she synthesized her planning research in the hopes of helping other traveling families.

The fourth post was “Hot Topics in Educational Theory,” which dives into current educational ideas as they apply to worldschooling. Many parents who do a Wonder Year initially have little or no background in education (or pedagogical theory) except as a student themselves. However, in conversations with traveling parents, we find that many become so involved in their children’s education that they want to learn more about it.

And finally, we shared more information about the book writing process in this Part 2 of 2 post for aspiring writers and anyone simply curious about how it all works. We have been learning that building your author brand and finding your book’s audience is quite different than writing the book. Do you have a book you’ve always wanted to write? Learn along with us.
