  Episode 47: How Do You Create A Flexible Worldschooling Curriculum?

  Sep 9, 202620 minS1

  Episode Title: Episode 47: How Do You Create A Flexible Worldschooling Curriculum? Hosts: Astrid & Clint, creators of The Wandering Daughter This episode answers a question a lot of worldschooling parents ask: how do you build a worldschooling curriculum that balances structured lesson plans with the spontaneous learning that happens on the road? Astrid and Clint walk through the daily routine they built during their four years of full-time travel, from splitting homeschooling duties around their work schedules to using field trips, tours, and local events to fill in the rest. They share specific examples, like researching the Alhambra before visiting Granada, turning a flamenco dinner into a museum trip, and letting their son's love of leafcutter ants shine on a hike near the Arenal Volcano. They also cover practical options for adding structure without over scheduling, including worldschooling hubs, OutSchool classes, and short stints in local schools. Astrid ends with a story about her son firmly telling her not to turn a random question into a lesson, a good reminder that balance matters more than turning every moment into a classroom. (Intro clip sourced from 08:00 - the moment Astrid tells the story of her son insisting she stop turning every question into a worldschooling lesson.) Ready to dive in?

  Episode 46: What Is The Best Method For Language Learning For Travel?

  Sep 2, 202623 minS1

  Episode Title: Episode 46: What’s the best method for language learning for travel? Hosts: Astrid & Clint, creators of The Wandering Daughter This week Astrid and Clint dig into language learning for travel, answering a question from families wondering how to actually teach kids a new language on the road, not just talk about wanting to. They share the specific apps and podcasts that have worked for their family over four years on the road. That list includes Duolingo, where Clint's streak is nearly 1,500 days, along with Babbel, Busuu, Lingopie, Lyrics Training, Bilingual, JumpSpeak, and Conjugato for verb drills. They also mention podcasts like Speak Like a Mexican, Little Talks, Bahasa Indonesia Bersama Winda, and the Mexican Fluency Podcast. Beyond apps, they talk about why in-person tutors in Spain, Mexico, and Indonesia became a grounding weekly routine for their kids. They also cover how watching movies, even an accidentally dubbed one in Mexico, and taking Spanish-only tours in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, and Seville pushed everyone's listening skills further. And they encourage embracing awkward moments, like the time in Vietnam when an older tea seller had no idea what Astrid was trying to ask her. (Intro clip sourced from 05:41 - the moment Clint and Astrid debate the name of a very situational Spanish app, "Dirty Spanish," while running down their favorite language tools) Ready to dive in?

  Episode 45: How Do You Find Worldschooling Communities?

  Aug 26, 202629 minS1

  Episode Title: Episode 45: How Do You Find Worldschooling Communities? Hosts: Astrid & Clint, creators of The Wandering Daughter This week Astrid and Clint tackle one of the most common worldschooling questions: how do you actually find worldschooling communities on the road? They walk through the best Facebook groups for getting started, including Project World School, World-Schooling Central, Trailblazing Families, and Astrid's own Responsible Family Travel group, and explain why there's no single master index of resources - the landscape simply changes too fast. This one's for any family wondering how to break into the worldschooling community without feeling lost. The back half covers specific hubs and pop-up communities, from Anahata in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, where the family lived for a stretch, to Forever Wild, The Hive, and Deliberate Detour. They share concrete details on program lengths, structure, and what to ask a host before committing, and close with an important reminder: hubs are a great on-ramp into worldschooling, but they're not the only, or even the original, way to do it. (Intro clip sourced from 15:50 - a moment later in the episode where Clint talks about weighing structure against unschooling flexibility when choosing a hub) Ready to dive in?

  Episode 44: What Are Tips For Making Friends While Traveling?

  Aug 19, 202616 minS1

  Episode Title: Episode 44: What Are Tips For Making Friends While Traveling? Hosts: Astrid & Clint, creators of The Wandering Daughter This week Astrid and Clint tackle one of the questions they hear most from other worldschooling parents: how do you make sure your kids keep their friendships and social skills while traveling full-time? They break it into two parts - keeping up with friends back home and making new ones on the road. For old friendships, they share what actually worked for their family: kid-safe messaging apps like Facebook Messenger for Kids, Marco Polo video messages, virtual play dates over Zoom paired with Minecraft, gaming together across time zones, and writing physical letters that get photographed and emailed to parents. They also talk about inviting friends to travel and meet up in person, including a memorable week spent at neighboring homestays in Bali with another family. Making new friends abroad was often harder, since local families tend to be more settled while traveling families are more transient - but Astrid and Clint found real connection through other worldschooling families, meetups, and Facebook groups, plus lower-stakes wins like local classes, park time, and playground games that let kids jump into play with almost no language barrier. They close out with a favorite tool for staying close to loved ones from afar: the Aura digital picture frame, which lets family members share photos back and forth automatically. (Intro clip sourced from 12:53 - the segment where Clint introduces the Aura digital picture frame as a way to stay connected with family and friends.) Ready to dive in?

  Episode 43: What Are The Emotional Benefits of Travel For Kids?

  Aug 12, 202622 minS1

  Episode Title: Episode 43: What Are The Emotional Benefits of Travel For Kids? Hosts: Astrid & Clint, creators of The Wandering Daughter This week Astrid and Clint dig into what it actually means to raise emotionally secure kids on the road, breaking it down into three pieces: stability, safety, and confidence. They talk about how sticking to small routines, like their go-to "egg in the nest" breakfast, shared family mealtimes, and hauling a giant world map to tack up on the wall of every new place, helps kids feel grounded even when the location keeps changing. It's a great listen for any traveling or worldschooling parent wondering how to help their kids process constant change without losing their sense of home. They also share concrete ways they've built their kids' confidence and independence, from encouraging them to order food in the local language, to letting them navigate the airport gate on their own, to sending them on solo errands to the corner store in Bali or the grocery store in Spain. Astrid opens up about her personal mission to raise confident solo travelers, especially her daughter, and why she wants girls in particular to grow up unafraid of exploring the world on their own. (Intro clip sourced from 04:36 - the moment Astrid and Clint talk about "egg in the nest," their go-to travel breakfast that inspired a family song.) Ready to dive in?
