🎉 Meet Stephanie Tolk, founder of Deliberate Detour hubs, who discusses her family’s two-and-a-half-year worldschooling journey, how they navigated learning on the go and re-entry to public school.

🌎 She shares how those travels, and love for immersive cultural experiences, led her to start Deliberate Detour in Oaxaca, Mexico and Cusco, Peru. 

👍 Don’t miss Stephanie’s favorite part about running these two hubs in these amazing locations (and where the third location was supposed to be!)!

✨ ACTIONABLE TIPS:

  • Fund your long-term travels by renting your house out furnished.
  • Prioritize long-term, slow-travel in lower cost countries, while enjoying higher cost areas for shorter stints, to save on costs.
  • To move beyond tourism, use platforms like Workaway to arrange stays with local host families
  • Focus on "homeschooling light," prioritizing core subjects like math and letting history and science be taught by the location.
  • To prepare kids for a gap year, aim for a shorter, more focused planning window (maybe three months).
  • AND MORE! LISTEN NOW!
