We talk through trading public school for homeschool while traveling Costa Rica, turning delays and detours into life lessons. From family pushback to new friends, movement tech to money talks, we share what’s working and what’s still hard.

• why we left public school and what changed
• travel setbacks as practice for patience and problem-solving
• the Spartan race mixups and what we learned
• ziplines, waterfalls, volcano hikes as hands-on learning
• low screen, high movement tools that actually help
• how we were raised versus how we parent now
• family reactions and finding supportive community
• practical life skills: chores, cooking, travel navigation
• early finance: budgeting, credit, taxes, saving goals
• emotional regulation, sleep, water, sunlight, and routines
• resilience, discomfort, and building confidence on the road
