Families
on the Road - From the website: Some families
travel with occupations that require mobility - such as construction,
telecommunications, and entertainment. Others have traded
in fast-paced careers for a life on wheels - maybe for a year,
maybe for a lifetime! We are a diverse group, composed of
various cultures, economic brackets, occupations and lifestyles.
Families on the road include grandparents raising children,
families headed by a single parent, and any number of children.
But we all share a love of the open road, wherever it may
take us. |

Idaho
Twins to Cycle 20,000 Miles - Davy and Daryl
Vogel, ten-year-old twin brothers from Boise, Idaho, will
pedal away from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska in June 2008 with their
parents and pet dog, Dash. Approximately thirty months later,
they plan to arrive at the southern tip of South America,
where the brothers will become the new Guinness World Record
Holders as “Youngest Person to Cycle the Pan-American
Highway”. |
Driven
to Educate - A Field Trip Across America - "Have
you lost your mind? - When I tell people what we’re
doing I usually get “Take me with you!” or “Have
you lost your mind?” The answer is, I lost my balance,
but our family gained some much needed clarity." Here’s
how it happened. |
Tania
Aebi's Shangri-La - In May 1985, when Tania Aebi
was 18, she cast off from lower Manhattan, alone, on her 26-foot
sloop, Varuna. For the next two and a half years, with only
a cat for company, she sailed 27,000 miles around the world,
returning to New York the youngest woman to ever circumnavigate
the world solo. Her book about this adventure, Maiden Voyage,
became an inspirational bestseller, published in eight countries.
In September 2007, hoping to give her boys a taste of adventure,
Tania set off cruising with Nicholas and Sam as crew, on a
36-footer named Shangri-La, and headed from the Caribbean
through the Panama Canal, to the South Pacific. Tania's sons,
Nicholas is 16, Sam is 13, and both will be one year older
by the end of Shangri-La’s voyage, and hopefully much
wiser. While out cruising, they’ll keep up with their
education through a structured and accredited home-schooling
program — Nicholas with a traditional eleventh-grade
curriculum, Sam with an eighth. |

NOTES
From Readers!
"We
have been homeschooling for 3 years now and are preparing
to leave to circumnavigate around the world by sailboat. We
will be studying different countries, languages, Cultures
and are excited. Thank you for sharing your website with us.
It was enlightening. We have three highly gifted children
and are confident that this will feed them more than sitting
in a classroom." Thank You, Angel
Fearless
moms! Just discovered your site. I am a Laguna Beach,
CA mom, unschooling along with my student. I'm also a big
believer in travel as education. In the past two years, we
have traveled throughout France, to southern Mexico (Oaxaca),
NYC, Boston, Cape Cod, Washington D.C., Hawaii and many others.
I'd love to find other homeschoolers to travel with, or just
rendezvous with for part of the trip. Our next idea is to
explore the literary side of England (my student is a voracious
reader and would like to visit anywhere having to do with
the Chronicles of Narnia, Robin Hood, the Redwall series,
Paddington Bear, etc. Just figured I'd contact you in case
you ever hear of a homeschool travel association that pairs
up traveling homeschoolers or (my latest hope) organizes home
exchanges between homeschoolers in different lands.
Happy
travels, Barb www.skateboardmom.com
