🎉  Lizz Quain, a solo mother of 16-year-old twin girls, shares her family’s extensive world schooling journey that began in 2016. She transitioned into long-term slow travel, using a variety of different educational methods—unschooling, local schools, and online tutoring—to adapt to her kid's needs.

🌎 Lizz emphasizes that this lifestyle fostered independence and global citizenship, with both her girls now thriving academically and possessing crucial skills

👍 She encourages families to adopt world schooling, even for short periods, calling it an invaluable gift that focuses on making lifelong memories and teaching children how to learn.

✨ ACTIONABLE TIPS:

• For children under eight, focus on self-directed learning, exploration, and nature, as this is how they learn best.
• Focus on teaching critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity, as these are more important for the future workforce
• Utilize strategies like slow travel to lower costs and pet sitting
• Consider taking worldschooling or hub creation courses and joining communities to avoid costly "newbie mistakes"
• Be willing to try various methods—online schools, local schools, tutors, or world school hubs—to find what works best for each child at different phases of their life.
• Leverage the world schooling lifestyle to actively spend time with your kids, observe their learning styles, and adjust your approach
