On this day in 2010 I was a solo mama with two kids under 2. I wrote my dream: My ten year plan... spend two or three years travelling the world with my two (teenage) kids. Jeez, that'll be mean :) ---- Fast forward to August 2020, I'm married, blessed with a third child and we were six months into our #digitalnomad life. 🙌 Today we are 4.5 years into slow travelling and #worldschooling with four kids. ✈️ I wish I had made it my five year plan instead of ten. 😅 If you have a dream, believe in it. No matter how ridiculous it seems at the time. Dreams are meant to be lived. Don't ever let go of your dreams. ✨ image

Very inspiring, thanks for this note! 🙌 First, I was thinking in homeschooling for my daughter. Then I knew about unschooling and thought "that's awesome, I like this idea more than homeschooling". And now I come to know about "worldschooling", it's mindblowing, I got so much to learn! image
Nice. Happy for you that you are living your dream. Hong long do you stay aproximately in each countries you visit? We have 3 kids and are doing homeschool. We started it 2 years ago. We have to check unschooling. We recently flew to Mexico for 4 months to give birth to our 3rd kid and we loved the experience.

Wow that's great you went to Mexico for 4 months! What an awesome experience 😍 I prefer 3 months in one place minimum. Since number 4 arrived (early 2022) we have been more like 8-12 months per location & also we have to consider visas and doing visa runs. Our toddler isn't a great night sleeper (& doesn't seem to need much sleep in the day either 😅). We are approaching a little bit of fast travel, and hopefully will settle somewhere for another 6 or so months early next year! 🤩

Yes that was a great experience. So many things happened for us there and on top of that we got permanent residency thanks to our kid. We plan to move there for at least 1 year and see how it goes. When it's possible, 8-12 months seems to be a good strategy. This give time to settle a little bit and to enjoy the place. Hopefully you will find a place to stay for a little bit 😄
