Making the Commitment to Family Travel

worldschooled — Wed, 13 Feb 2019 19:30:15 +0000

When people ask me how our family is able to travel the world with our two children AND keep a home base, my answer is, “We DECIDED to.” Yes, that sounds quaint. And of course, it is an oversimplification of an entire process. But I find, as in most things in life, once you make …

Finding Sweetness in San Miguel de Allende

It’s been almost four months since we rolled back into San Miguel de Allende. The longer we stay in this place the more we love it. There is just so much to love! Our RV park is in the most perfect location. We can walk to everything. And it is small and charming, with only …

Exploring Canada’s Maritimes in an RV

worldschooled — Sat, 10 Nov 2018 23:40:19 +0000

We started our cross-Canada journey from our home in Beautiful British Columbia and went ALL THE WAY to Newfoundland. Wow. What a journey. We loved (almost) every second of it. Canada is so HUGE and so BEAUTIFUL and we are incredibly grateful to be able to show our amazing country to our children. We traveled …

Bonjour Quebec!

Ah Quebec. We love your French language, your European architecture, your amazing food, and your joie de vie! We spent a blissfull four days with Mike’s Aunt and Uncle who live just outside of Montreal. Again, we were wowed by some over-the-top-amazing hospitality. How did we get so lucky to have such amazing family? We …

The Ontario Money Grab

worldschooled — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 16:07:46 +0000

Ok, I’m going to go on a bit of a rant here about Ontario. Well, not a super harsh rant, cause I’m an extremely kind person. But I gotta say that Ontario really turned us off. I know I talk about money a lot on this blog and how our family tries to maximize our …

The Journey East

worldschooled — Thu, 26 Jul 2018 15:47:58 +0000

“Where are we going today?” Ask the kids. “East!” We reply. We’ve been pushing hard since Manitoba. We spent a few lovely days visiting family in Winnipeg and then made a straight shot to Ontario. Ontario is BIG. So BIG! And we had a bunch of friends and family to visit along the way. We’ve done …

RV Living – 10 Things We’ve Learned So Far

worldschooled — Sat, 14 Jul 2018 15:08:31 +0000

We are first time RV’s. We’ve travelled to South East Asia carrying everything we need in backpacks, we’ve explored Europe for months with carry-on only, we’ve camped our way through the Western States in a VW van, but this is the first time we have traveled in a proper RV. Let me tell you, this …

Riding Mountain National Park

worldschooled — Tue, 10 Jul 2018 15:00:00 +0000

We made it to Manitoba! It has only taken us a month to get this far. At this rate, we should be done exploring Canada by December. Ha! Canada is so huge and there is so much of it that we want to explore! Another National Park was on our radar, Riding Mountain National Park. …

Breezing through Saskatchewan

worldschooled — Sat, 07 Jul 2018 14:52:17 +0000

Before we left on our journey, we became members of Harvest Hosts, which is a really cool membership program for RVers. Farms, wineries, breweries, and businesses can list their properties on the website and then members can request to camp overnight on their properties. Camping is free but it is expected that you will purchase …

Roadside Trouble and Elk Island National Park

worldschooled — Tue, 03 Jul 2018 14:43:46 +0000

Soon after leaving Jasper we encountered our first problem with our motorhome. We were driving along at a good clip down the Yellowhead Hwy when we heard a strange sound and felt like we had run over something. My first thought was that the bikes or scooters had come off the bike rack and we …
