"The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page."

-Saint Augustine

Throughout our Homeschooling years (around 15) we have not conformed to any set schedule or particular curriculum.  One of our favorite ways to learn is by traveling with our kids.  We would read about and study our desired destination and write essays, talk about, and watch documentaries highlighting a certain place, people, cultures, etc.   The classics, Mentors, and histories where our major teachers.

While visiting France for the first time we studied about many subjects including Napoleon Bonaparte, Joan of Arc and visited the places they lived and died.  For example, when studying Napoleon's life we would study the places he lived, was exiled to, and conquered and then we would visit those areas.

Wherever you travel with your kids, no matter what age, use these moments to help them be excited to learn all they can about the diverse cultures, histories, and people around them.

Here is our adventure to Qibao, China.......
