These beautiful images above are from my very first trip abroad. As a native Californian from a family without resources to travel much beyond the neighboring state of Nevada, it took until I was 21 years old to board a plane. I took these photos in Costa Rica when I was 26 on my first international trip, traveling solo. It is a highlight of my life.
Since then, I've lived and worked in 4 countries; I've visited more than 30 countries (honestly I've lost count). My British husband, James, and I met while working at an international school in Germany and had our son, Leonato, in England; he's currently 5 years old. We've already traveled as a family many times to multiple countries and continents.
As internationally-minded educators, we want the world to be Leo's primary classroom. We want to support his learning and development in as many ways as possible. Creating the Worldschooling Quest platform is our way of making this lifestyle a reality for us and easier for others too, because we believe that it's what education should be.
We also realize that not everyone has the opportunity to travel the world, so this platform is for global learners to connect and develop empathy through intercultural connections. Please join the community to 'buddy up' with a school, class, or family across the globe to chat, have a virtual field trip, or plan to meet in-person one day. We can all benefit from the knowledge and passions you share.
We'd love to hear your backgrounds too!
