We do love travel (then love returning home too) and homeschool our two kids. Inspiring them first with pictures, YouTube vids and info about a destination is such an effective way of inspiring curiosity.
Love your work

Interestingly Natalie, we’re in Romania now for Christmas, 2 nd time, ad my son is doing Minecraft Homeschool. Guess what he’s learning about there…Romanian Christmas traditions! I bet he could teach the teachers a thing or two 😉 We asked them a few months ago where they wanted to be for Christmas, their pick was Romania. A tric this year will be Rome, my son’s pick for his birthday, he loves the history, last year he picked Greece. It’s mostly about them. We’ve just spent 6 weeks in Thailand and in that time returned to Chiang Mai 3 times so they could hang out with friends. They’re very happy with this incrdible life. But if I want to go to India again….they’re coming, no choice !

I love your tip on listen to the kids. Their feelings are valid, too!

We spend a lot more time getting ready for a trip than we do actually traveling. Our lifestyle is pretty traditional in terms of work schedules for my husband and my kids are at the moment traditionally schooled. BUT, preparation is key, I think which includes scheduling some downtime for just ‘being’. Whether that involves the beach or lounging on the couch…minds need rest to process and rejuvenate!

We read about a trip (and I have created long destination specific reading lists) and learn about customs before we go. Right now, we are learning about the Christmas customs of Greece and making Greek Christmas cookies before our trip! This gets everyone mentally thinking about a destination and learning, too!
