Travel With Children:
Home School with Stories and Yoga
In 2010, as a young widow with two children, I left my home state of Colorado of 38 years to live and travel abroad. I educated my kids on the road using yoga and multicultural folktales and myths. I even created my own homeschool educational materials using kamishibai, Japanese paper theatre. Because with stories, you can teach just about everything: oral and listening skills, reading, writing, geography, art, music, science, history. You can even learn math!
My son did well in elementary school, but when he reached junior high school, he started failing. My daughter had dyslexia and special needs, and the stress and frustration of worksheets for homework every night just wasn’t doing her any good. So I took the leap to educate them myself. I’m proud to say as in their young lives, they’ve been on four continents. My son taught himself Latin, and French and received scholarships to attend university, graduating with a Master’s in Classics and receiving an excellence in teaching award. My daughter once we settled in Florida won leadership awards, became prom queen and lives in Spain where she teaches English while she pursues a business degree.
