Homeschooling / Roadschooling
Full-time travel isn't the same as full-time vacation! Most mornings our older two spend a couple of hours doing schoolwork. First some "analog" work to learn the art of using real books and pencils. Then on to their tablets for the "digital" part of school.
This is a normal schooldays in our RV, but school isn't where most of the learning happens. Fieldtrips and all that we get to experience together as we travel is a greater (and often better) source of learning.
Our hope is that we can model a lifestyle of learning.

Learning never ends and when you combine traveling with learning you have a life full of knowledge and experience. It's good that your kids combine analog with digital learning also. It's healthier and more sustainable on the long run.
Yes! Learning should never end. And both digital and analog skills are essential. Many kids today are what I call digital natives bit I think some might miss the analog part and mever learn things like cursive writing ( I never learned will but my kids are learning it now thanks to my wife).
Thank you! We totally agree, full-time travel isn't full-time vacation. Often times when we tell people that we homeschool and travel, they assume that we go on some crazy adventures like in a TV show, when really, we still have school work just like any other kids our age. It's nice to see that your kids get to see the world at such a young age, and have the flexibility of homeschooling. :)
Thank you for reading! And I do like the experience that I can give them through our travel.
I also follow you journey and education and hope to include more art and music in our schooling.
Music and art have definitely been a huge aspect of our homeschooling, and I think it has really helped us in our learning. In additional to the educational benefits, we have made friends throughout our travels by getting together to play music. Pursuing the creative arts is very fulfilling, and would recommend it to every homeschool family. :)
