Tina and Chris adopted two boys 4 years ago
Elijah and Rylee. They're on a journey as a new family to grow and challenge themselves by traveling around the US -- and road schooling full-time on a renovated school bus. They love to say "
We Live on a Bus.” If you have kids and you’ve dreamed of doing a sabbatical or a year long trip with your kids while they’re a certain age, but schooling always stops that dream in your tracks — this is the episode for you. In this episode, mom Tina shares her approaches for road schooling, on-the-road education, and using travel to create the best version of learning tailored for each child.
- Selling everything to travel full-time (with their house under contract in 8 hrs)
- Adapting their school routines into "road schooling" (and the distinction with home schooling or a popular trend called UNschooling)
- Common fears and questions they get asked about road schooling
- Learning your state's home schooling requirements
- Ways to stay compliant with state education rules
- Field trip learning & "hours in the field"
- Creating an Explorer's Workbook to help log all their field trip learnings
- Currently Airbnb hopping and "practicing bus life" (like, not using the dishwasher)
- What's next for them & when they start road schooling full time in the skoolie (or school bus home, for the rest of us)
