Welcome to Wonder Year! 

This blog is a space to share inspiration, questions and actionable tips for extended family travel. Welcome to Wonder Year!

Maybe you’ve happened upon our site from an online search, or perhaps someone told you about our project, or then again maybe you know us and you’re wondering what we’ve actually been up to these past few years.

This blog is also an accompaniment to our forthcoming book, Wonder Year: A Guide to Long-term Family Travel and Educational Adventures. 

So, what is Wonder Year about?

Part inspiration and part how-to, our upcoming book addresses the most important and challenging questions about family travel and education. Adding to our personal experiences and insights, we conducted extensive interviews with traveling families from diverse backgrounds, resulting in a book that lyrically blends stories with tangible wisdom and practical tips to inspire.

Wonder Year, the book and the blog, is for readers who are actively planning or considering extended travel with their family. We’re also here for families who have already made the decision and are currently traveling. We hope you will find value and inspiration in the educational ideas, tips and tricks and philosophical insights. Even if you aren’t quite ready to launch, or are a family who travels shorter-term, homeschoolers who want to embed next-level field trips into your curriculum, military families who homeschool due to frequent relocations, teachers, travel guides and those interested in the “rewilding” movement, we hope you will all discover ideas and wisdom you can incorporate into worldschooling closer to home.

Wonder Year is here to save you time and worry–it is the blog and the book we wished we’d had before embarking on our own journeys.

Pull up a comfy chair, pour yourself a cuppa.

We’re glad you’re here.
