130: Navigating Unschooling and Nomadic Life | The Conrads in dialogue with Heidi & Andrew Schrum
Manage episode 496129652 series 3443923
We sit down with Heidi and Andrew Schrum, who are about to leave home and begin travelling full-time with their two young children.
They ask us what we wish we’d known at the beginning, and we talk through everything from reluctant kids and screen time to preparation that doesn’t help and the emotional crash that often comes six months into travel.
We also get into how to parent while unschooling—without stepping back too far—and how public perception shifts when you reframe unschooling as world-schooling.
This is a direct, unscripted conversation about what it actually takes to live nomadically as a family.
