We are homeschoolers who mostly "unschool". We travel whenever we have the money and the bug hits us, sometimes to places nearby, sometimes to places very far away. Our youngest family member, Roo, is 6 now. By the time he was 2 he'd been in California, Israel, England and New Zealand. More recently we've explored Washington State, British Columbia, Oregon, and Idaho. Soon we'll be back to Israel.

I'm told I'm nuts. I'm told I'm "unstable". My parents want me to "just settle down" but my kids have learned so many awesome lessons and had so many great experiences. I wouldn't trade this life for anything!

Since Roo was a baby we've been talking about writing a book and calling it "Wiping Tusch on National Monuments". The title is a reference to the number of times we changed diapers at major monuments around the world in Roo's first two years. The content would be real, down to earth advice about cheap travel, unschooling kids while traveling, and dealing with well meaning family and friends who tell you not to do this stuff.

It's good to see that there's a tribe here of folks who've taken their own less-beaten paths with their kids!
