Wonder Year: A Guide to Long-Term Family Travel and Worldschooling

Learn how to pack up the family for a life-changing, long-term journey filled with education and adventure.

If you’ve ever dreamed about an epic family adventure and heading out on the road for a few months or more, Wonder Year is for you. Part inspiration and part how-to, this book demystifies the seemingly outrageous prospect of embarking on a long-term family shuttle and the usage of the world as a classroom for your kids—a trailblazing approach known as worldschooling.

Packed with practical information, Wonder Year offers invaluable guidance to help become your dream into a well-planned reality for your family. Woven right through the book are evocative travelogues and photos from families sharing worldschooling experiences. Paddling a wild and scenic Oregon river, stargazing in New Mexico, and visiting World War II sites in France are just among the colorful stories that will no doubt stir you to envision your own journey.

This book will show you how to:

• Explore funding options for long-term family shuttle—be it a summer, semester, year, or more
