This past week kiddo and I attended the Project World School Family Summit in Granada, Spain! We got to hang out with other traveling families to learn more about what they do and where they go and compare notes. There was a kid’s camp for littles, teen activities, plus seminars and discussions. We saw a Read More

Podcast appearance
A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure to be interviewed by Pam Laricchia for her Exploring Unschooling Podcast. It’s now online as episode #172! I won’t lie, I was surprised when Pam asked me to be a guest and hesitated to agree, especially when I found out it would be on video as Read More

Halloween!
Halloween in Mexico! Yes, they have it here too! We saw house parties, trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood, plus HUGE crowds of people on Quinta Avenida, Playa del Carmen’s hot spot. When asked to go trick or treating with some other worldschoolers kiddo needed an impromptu Halloween costume. This is what we figured out! He got a lot Read More
Columbus ships and King Tut exhibit
With unschooling and worldschooling, we’re learning from the world around us and through experiences, rather than via books, tests, and other formal learning opportunities (unless requested by the learner). To help facilitate this process, I try to keep an eye out for things that might present an opportunity to be exposed to new topics. You never Read More

On the way we saw lots of birds (especially pelicans), some boats (including several cruise ships and catamarans), a kite surfer, and the nudist resort section Read More
