Long format blogposts

Most of my long format blogposts are not recent. I write daily about our nomadic radical unschooling life, hence I spend less time writing the longer ones. Also I have already written a lot of these, and you can find them all here under the "long format" title, even though they have varying volume.

Enjoy.

Learn Nothing Day, Compliance and Avoidance | Day 203 of my 2023 Journal

Learn Nothing Day combined with my genuine shock reaction to a new-to-me three-letter diagnosis inspired this text about leaving children be, accepting our parental responsibility of love and support, and shaking off the madness of demands and structure surrounding mainstream family life. Welcome to a rampage about freedom, trust, and real reality.

On math and unschooling

What if math was voluntary? What if we recognize the fact that all math, including high school level, can be learned by a motivated person in 3 months? Six if we take it easy.

Big Rocks First - welcome to 2023

We have a massive responsibility to each other, enormous. It becomes self-evident when we have children that we need to care for them and do our best to make life beautiful for them, but when all comes to all, we have the same responsibility for everyone else as well.

How we did not travel to England and what happened instead. One of the hidden perks of being a full-time traveling family is that we learn to sharpen our WHY and HOW all the time. In this blogpost we share what we have learned about planning and handling plans that changes.

Chateau Jasmine and how to handle big dreams

“If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.” This is such a powerful truth. I remember being so afraid of the bus, afraid of leaving my country, afraid of letting go - yet the dream was powerful; I had to do it.

Unschooling is just life

Unschooling is just a fancy word for living, said a meme I saw on social media this week. It is true. Another, longer, a post I read was about how ambitious we can all become while following each other's unschooling journeys on blogs and social media.

Beauty is down the road

Just a short reflection on the importance of mindset

An ode to life, sharing just how great it feels to be a traveling, unschooling, free and wild woman of 47, with four amazing children and an amazing husband.

Do nomads have a social life?

Do you have any friends? This is one of the all times most asked questions we get as a full-time traveling family. In this text, we share the answers and perspectives on the idea of having a social life on the move. We would never have imagined this reality before we left, but now it is our everyday life of adventure.

Do you know how to stay with your own truth?

Sometimes I “download” something. A clear message. Sometimes it is more powerful and clear than others. Often I ask for it, rarely does it make its own way to my mind.

Are we rootless?
