🎉  Erin Riska from RoamBase (and episode 18!) had the idea to bring the voices of the worldschooling kids to the show and I am so grateful for these 3 lively kids for sharing their perspectives (and their families for letting them!)  

Meet Micah (15), Sammy (12) and Zuri (12)!

🌎 They overwhelmingly favor "slow travel," preferring to spend several months in one location to maximize cultural immersion, language learning and historical exploration.

👍 They emphasize the benefits of flexible, adapted schooling methods—ranging from homeschooling to online programs—over traditional classrooms, noting that the group hub environment is vital for maintaining a strong social life. And don’t miss what they envision for the perfect worldschool hub!

✨ ACTIONABLE TIPS:

• Prioritize "Slow Travel" for Immersion: Give children sufficient time to learn the language, understand the local culture, and feel oriented in their new surroundings.
• Ensure Social Time with Hubs/Groups: Utilizing world-schooling hubs or planning co-travel with other families is crucial for consistent peer interaction.
• Opt for Flexible Curricula: Choose online education programs or homeschooling methods that allow for a variable schedule to adapt to travel days, cultural events, and individual learning paces/needs.
• Establish Clear Financial Education: Use an allowance or chore system, but actively teach children about international currency exchange rates and the hidden costs of debit card usage (foreign transaction fees) to make small purchases meaningful.
• Develop an Arrival Checklist: Confirm essential logistics such as the drinkability of tap water, the necessity of filtration, and country-specific rules regarding waste disposal
