"The amount of uncertainty you can hold is the amount of freedom you have."​ - Carla Martinez.

We met Carla and David at the Worldscchool Summit in 2019. So many friendships formed. It was life-changing. In this episode, we talk with Carla and David, who share their unique journey of nomadic living. From their first transformative experience at the World School Summit in Granada to establishing a vibrant Spanish-speaking community, Carla and David opens up about the joys and challenges of living on the road.

Together, we explore how worldschooling nurtures lifelong connections, fosters cultural exchanges, and encourages a spirit of openness and flexibility. Carla and David reflect on their experiences, from serendipitous encounters with other home-educating families to creating opportunities and resources for fellow travelers. We dive into the logistics of traveling in camper vans, maintaining relationships across continents, and how technology plays a vital role in staying connected.

Their insights also touch on the evolving landscape of world schooling and the balance between structure and freedom, embracing change, and finding joy in life’s unexpected turns. Whether you’re curious about nomadic living or passionate about community building, this episode offers a rich tapestry of reflections, tips, and heartfelt stories.

And ... We are forever grateful for David's help in finding the right Van for us. If you are on the lookout for a van yourself, then check out his services at geckocamper.com :)
