SCHOOLING THE KIDS WILL
BE EASY
There are many varied options for schooling
your kids while travelling. With Distance Ed,
home-schooling and exemptions a handful of
the more popular methods, a lot of people had
the idea that schooling would be effortless
because of the amount the kids will naturally
learn on the road.
As with anything, dedication is still required
and each method has its pros and cons
resulting in varying stresses as you try to build
a teacher-student relationship, or complete
the required reporting.
Add into the mix tired or distracted kids (and
parents), and the schooling fiasco can most
definitely have its trying moments!

IT WILL BE LESS STRESSFUL
THAN HOME LIFE
We’re the first to admit camping generally
gives us ‘allll the feels’! We’re happier. We
sleep better. We’re nicer to each other. But,
when you replace the week-long holiday
you may be used to with a new lifestyle,
you of course will still encounter challenges,
tiredness, bad moods and the like – all within
a more confined space which in itself brings a
new set of challenges to navigate.
Travelling requires planning and organisation,
and it’s unrealistic to think you’ll be ‘happy’
every single day. It is also exhausting at times,
when doing long drives between destinations
or tackling big days out on the water,
bushwalking and exploring.

I’LL HAVE SO MUCH TIME ON
MY HANDS
Whether you thought you’d have more time
for reading, journaling, spending one-on-one
time with your partner or children, taking
up a new hobby, or anything else, you still
determine how you’ll spend those 24 hours
each day.
You’ll be living the ‘freedom’ lifestyle, so
technically you could ‘find’ some free time
during the week, but we’d say a lot of spare
time will be filled with planning your next
destinations for your trip.
