Description

Welcome to a place of connection, camaraderie, exploration, and encouragement.
During our worldschooling ventures, we’ve crossed paths with numerous families living this non-traditional lifestyle...and honestly, there is nothing more refreshing than sharing time and experiences with you!

Worldschoolers are unique:
We prioritize travel and experiential learning
We live and learn outside of the box
We’re willing to step out of our comfort zone

Others may call us fearless, courageous, inspirational, crazy or even foolish...but all we know is we are unequivocally drawn to travel. However, a life of wanderlust is not without its challenges. Sometimes we hit a rut; sometimes it gets lonely; and sometimes we need reassurance and guidance from others who know what it’s like to live unconventionally. Though we are a resilient bunch, perfectly capable of traveling on our own...doesn’t it sound wonderful to access a portable community designed for worldschoolers by worldschoolers?

Pop-ups are the perfect platform to connect with like-minded individuals while exploring the planet together. Our week-long, casual itineraries allow you to engage in local offerings, immerse in nature, and forge lasting friendships...ideal for those beginning their worldschool adventure as well as seasoned travelers!

Welcome home.
