We’re British Harry.So we’ve never had to have health insurance at home ( same in Australia, mostly, a certain level is free, extra things you pay for) We have travel insurance through World Nomads, most travel insurance policies cover medical expenses. Very straightforward.

How does that work with health insurance? I know that in the largest part of the world paying health costs in cash is cheaper than insurance in western countries, but what about larger expenses, surgeries, expensive medication etc? Thanks!

Back in Australia we had no choice, we had to do what we were told by the Australian govt, Fill in the forms, submit the learning plans and annual reports. Once we left they were no longer interested in us and could not remain registered, so we can do what we like! In some ways we’re still slightly Australian in that I know that curriculum and we use the Au version of Study Ladder sometimes.( online learning program). It’s also a great visual check list for me up to the end of junior school for maths and English, but I’ve always pulled in elements of the UK and US curriculum. I’m British, and felt the Au curriculum was way too narrow for kids to learn about the whole world. So I’ve got the standard curriculums in my head AND we follow their interests, so, for instance, my elder one adores Greek Mythology and computer coding, he knows to former inside out and can code in Java (I can’t!). Basically we’re totally free. But I’m very “common sense” about it and I’m big on accademics. When we’re actively skipping around countries like India, we do nothing formal. But when we’re in London, Romania, anywhere, for a few weeks/ months,I pull out the books. I buy work books here and we use multiple online resources. I usually have a couple of work books in my backpack plus of course all the online stuff is easy to access. There is a full post here Jodi , https://worldtravelfamily.com/homeschool-and-travel/

I’m wondering if your children schooled by meeting the Australian curriculum Or had absolute freedom to learn from what is presented before them?
Such a solid reminder and inspiration to what is important in this very short life..Thankyou

I wish so much that my family was on the road full-time. I hope one day we can be. but for now, our small trips we can take are great learning experiences for the kids. And for me!
