🎉 Erin Riska, her two boys, husband and two cats turned pandemic job loss into over five years of full time nomadic living! She transformed from never leaving her own homestate until she was an adult to now living between Europe, Mexico and the US, all while working for herself and homeschooling her tweens.
🌎 She shared the origin of RoamBase during a surf camp in the Canary Islands to now the eleven week homeschool co-op in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, centered around the important holidays and historical events of the area.
👍 We dive into the evolution of their homeschooling journey, which began as a necessity during the pandemic and has become a preferred lifestyle by mixing structured academics like math and literacy with child-led, interest-based learning.
✨ IN THIS EPISODE:
- How the mindset of adaptability can transform what seems like a crisis into an opportunity for new adventures
- The evolution of strict homeschooling to unschooling to curriculum-led focus in the core subjects (and how you can think through this for your family!)
- Why the challenges of saying ‘bye’ to friends led to RoamBase!
- Top tricks to save money long term (and it’s not always even in the ‘low-cost’ countries!)
- Tips for traveling with your beloved pets (particularly cats and small dogs)!
- How to smooth out sibling fighting that is inevitable when spending so much time together!
