Homeschooling
Welcome to our travel blog where we share our experiences of homeschooling our three children while exploring the world. As high school teachers, we have a passion for education and a love for travel. Combining these two passions has been a challenging but rewarding journey for our family.
The Benefits of Homeschooling on the Road
One of the biggest benefits of homeschooling while traveling is the opportunity to immerse ourselves in different cultures and environments. Our children can experience new sights, sounds, and tastes while learning about the world and its history. They also have the opportunity to improve their English vocabulary while visiting foreign countries such as Italy and Sweden.
Nature as a Classroom
One of the highlights of our homeschooling journey has been using nature as a classroom. Our children can learn about different plants and animals, geological formations, and more, all while getting exercise and fresh air. We have also had the opportunity to visit national parks and wildlife preserves, where our children can learn about conservation efforts and the importance of preserving our natural resources.
Museums and City Life
Another advantage of homeschooling while traveling is the opportunity to visit museums and other cultural institutions. Our children have had the opportunity to see famous works of art, learn about scientific innovations, and much more. We have also explored city life, visiting historical sites and experiencing different urban cultures.
Challenges of Being a Parent and Teacher
Although homeschooling has its benefits, it is not without its challenges. As high school teachers, it is challenging to teach our own children, and our children find it challenging to have their parents as teachers. However, we believe that the benefits of homeschooling while traveling outweigh these difficulties, and we are grateful for the opportunities that this lifestyle provides for our family.
Conclusion
In conclusion, homeschooling while traveling has been a rewarding experience for our family. Our children have had the opportunity to immerse themselves in different cultures, learn about the world and its history, and improve their English vocabulary. Although there are challenges, the benefits make it all worth it. We hope that our journey will inspire other families to explore the world and create unforgettable memories through homeschooling
