We would love to meet up with other families that are also into traveling, unschooling, spirituality etc. We're in southern France and will head to Spain in the spring!

Description

We are an German-American family with three children (born: 2010, 2012, 2016) looking to learn together more about organic farming, permaculture, natural building, animals and, in general, teach our kids using the school of life.

My husband and I met each other while doing WWOOFing, HelpX and other Work and Travel „gap year" volunteering in India. We then traveled together to Australia - and met up to start our family in Germany. We then slowly kind of lost ourselves in a life full of jobs and schooling. We are currently planning on spending at least 1 year, maybe more, volunteering and traveling together in Europe, and then doing roughly the same in America. Then maybe we settle down and build our earthship and become our own self-sustaining farm and can host Workawayers!.

We have been traveling now for a few months in Germany, Austria, Italy, France and Spain. We're now officially no longer registered in Germany and are teaching our children through unschooling/worldschooling/roadschooling what it’s like to work and serve others while learning a thing or two along the way.

Our motivation at the moment is to shake ourselves free of the system we were stuck in for so long. We're happy when our basic needs are met, when we meet amazing other traveling souls along the way, can give back/work/learn from others and still have some time for the family, nature, meditation and ourselves.

We have all our camping gear with us, so if the weathers ok we can set up tents. We're also flexible as to where we sleep and we're all happy -and very much value - when we have a place we can feel comfortable/at home. We have solar panels and power banks so we can and would love to try out off-grid projects too.

Autres infos...

We love to explore new cultures and be in nature. Board games are also always good. Family time a must. If you're interested in talking about things philosophically and spiritually then we'll get along just fine.

Oh, and everyone seems to ask this so I'll just include it in here - our kids are old enough that they pretty much keep themselves busy. They want to know what we're doing and where we are- but then enjoy reading, playing (if there are animals around, then playing/taking care of them especially) and exploring on their own. They don't distract us from work- in fact when a bigger project is going on then they love to jump in and help out. We also expect them to take on a daily job or duty like checking on the chickens/eggs or feeding the cat etc.
