Next week, my family and I are heading out for a year of unschooling on the road. We live in Ottawa, Canada and plan to drive around the continent clockwise. You're welcome to follow us here: www.learningaway.wordpress.com. We'd love to meet up with unschoolers along the way...

The website at the top of the page did not work for me, if someone can help me out :)

Also, I am the child of an unschooling roady :) My mom, younger brother, and I traveled the US for 2-3 years when I was a teenager, working super sales and state fairs to bring in income and just living and loving life in the meantime. We traveled in our minivan and stayed in hotels or campsites (depending on the weather). We had a home-base, where we would stay for maybe a few weeks out of each year, where our stuff lived and we would repack when we came back, in-between shows. It was an AMAZING experience. I cannot begin to share with you what I feel I learned because of this, about people, about life, about adventure.

My daughter wants to do this. I am going to look more into how you all do it (because I don't want to be working shows like my mom did and living out of a minivan), and seriously consider it...

I am another "someday" unschooler. We are working on becoming debt-free so we can seriously get on the road! We are home-based, in a "stick" home (I love that, as I now do NOT work in a brick and mortar school), in southern New Jersey just outside of Philadelphia.

I've just read through the comments here and so many people are dreaming of "someday". What is holding you back? Make a decision and start living your "someday"! I don't know any independently wealthy FOTR, we are all working (or looking for work) like you, but our homes have wheels. We did pay off most of our debt first and paid cash for our bus. It's nice to know we own our house, we never could say that about our stick homes! PEACE!

Add me to the "dreaming of hitting the road" list.

The kids and I are headed off to New Zealand for 3 months. Anyone been? We're looking for suggestions.

This is so cool! We are dreaming of getting out of debt and hitting the road in a few years when our littlest is at least 3. We plan to have a way to make money while on the road (so far we just have a few ideas) and buying our RV outright, and maybe converting it to veggie oil to save big bucks on gas!
I don't know how long we'd go for, but we just want to get to a place where it's possible and we can decide then!!
Vicki, your blog is inspiring! Here's another Road Trip Blog I enjoy, http://www.livelightlytour.com/

We're hitting the road for 6 weeks starting September 9th. I started a discussion on the general forum, but for those of you here, where's good to visit? We'll be hitting MN, MI, PA, NH, DC, NC and starting/ending in TX. Also, we would love to visit unschoolers while out and about!
