Where in Florida are y'all?

[Arp]

Hi there,

We're considering Florida as a possible place to move and would like to get an idea of where RU families are. Any places that have a thriving community? Any places you wish you were closer to?

thanks,

Arp

So when are you planning on coming to this area?

That's not too bad.  In NY it was a bare mininum of 30-40 min.  The monthly support group was fairly central to us all - the closest could get to it in 20min, some peeps would drive 1h+ to make it.  It sounds much better in Tampa & Sarasota, and is pretty cool here in Austin as well.

Hi Rachael.  We unschool and live in Deland.  My daughter is 12.  How old are your children?

We recently moved to Daytona Beach, but don't think there's alot of unschoolers here, unfortunately. I've heard somethings go on in Orlando area.
good luck!

Hi Bibi, I am in Deland as well.  Unfortunately, my daughter is going through that stage where she is really uncomfortable around boys, however, this does not mean that we cannot connect.  Do you know of any other RU families or groups nearby?

Hi Rachel,

we are over here in DeLand, not too far from you. There are a couple of other unschooling families here in DeLand. I have 3 boys, 9, 12, and 15. They love surfing and WOW.
How about you?

Hey there, we just moved to Surfside (Dade County). Not sure where everyone is now but here's to finding some unschoolers in South Florida! :)
