Interviews
When we started the Worldschool Pop-Up Hub, I never imagined I'd become a spokesperson for traveling with teens, creating community as we pursue our travels, unschooling, traveling light (we only have a carry-on each and share a checked bag which contains sharps in our kitchen kit and liquids in our first aid kit), etc.
So happy others have found valuable content via our experiences!
Interview with The Conrad Family
I chat with my good friends Cecilie & Jesper about creating these communities, and a bit about unschooling as well.
Read more about it on their podcast website. If you prefer, an audio track of the interview is also available there.

Not sure how many will make vlogs for us, but we're super thankful to The 5 World Explorers and Fire Walking Journey for creating videos of their experiences at the Worldschool Pop-Up Hub! Thanks so much!
The First Worldschool Prom
We are at this beautiful château in France with over 30 traveling families attending a worldschooling pop-up. But what is one of the big plans for this week? The first worldschooling prom!!!
It is the chance for the teens to dress up and spend an evening dancing and having fun together, and it couldn't happen in a better setting!!!
What is a Worldschool Pop-Up?
Welcome to Veracruz, Mexico! This is where we hosted our first pop-up! We planned many different activities to enjoy with the participating families like café lechero and the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum.
​
BUT... the most magical aspect was seeing how easily everyone connected. We soon realized that it wasn't about where we were and what we were doing, but whom we were with.
What is the draw to the Worldschool Pop-Up Hub?
Thanks Max for describing what drew your family to our events and how you stepped into a hosting role! So glad to have you on board and know that you've found value in our mobile communities.

Max's family attended in Merida 2022, then hosted in Mexico City 2022 and Penang 2023. For those interested, Max & Rachel have teamed up to host a Taipei event together in Oct 2023!
