About

A homeschooling mom who loves to learn, read and travel with my kids to learn about the people, places and history we've read about in our books through travel experiences and adventures.

Travel style

I'm a homeschooling mom who loves to travel with my family to explore historical places where history comes alive and epoch adventures begin. I have a tendency to plan our trips around historical places we've read about or from classic literature. Whether it's eating in the cellar of the world's oldest restaurant in Spain, staying in the tavern where Captain James Cook and William Scoresby would recruit their crew, to eating at the pub where the Inklings met weekly, to tapping rubber trees in the middle of a Thai forest to harvest latex, to visiting an Ayamara Shaman before hiking the Andes. I'm all about planning budget-friendly travel that still allows you to walk through history off the beaten path.
