If at all possible- ask for Mr. Vanny to be your tuk tuk driver. You will thank me later! Truly an authentic experience all around!

Ugh, I wish! We came back to the states last March during the pandemic. Unfortunately our travels are temporarily on hold. That being said, Querétaro is always a city we will return to!

Thank you so much! Traveling was truly the best thing we've done so far!

I completely agree! I feel so lucky to have experienced Mexico in this way. So many people only travel to the touristy resorts. Those are nice, too. BUT, they don't know what they're missing!

It was so much work, but very worth it in the end! Thanks for watching!

Well, every state is different as far as what is required to homeschool. Some require proof of education with a very specific checklist, and some are more lenient. So because every state has different requirements, I would research what is required and expected in your state of residence and go from there. I hope this helps a little. Good luck!

Renting a car is always so frustrating abroad with all the hidden fees. That being said, we always prefer to explore the area a bit and a rental car always seems to make more sense. I think this ultimately just depends on where you are staying. Location is everything!

I'm sorry we didn't get back to you before your trip. Hopefully it was amazing! We used Airbnb for 90% of our accommodations, and will likely continue to do so. I always read the reviews before booking any accommodation. This goes for hotels, resorts, activities, etc. It gets tedious at times, but always end up worth the trouble.

Thanks so much!

Go for it!!! It was easily the best decision we've made so far.

That means so much to hear, thank you! Out of all of adventures around the world, we had the most authentic experiences in Cambodia . We still talk to our tuk tuk driver, Mr. Vanny . We are great friends with our Airbnb host and his family, and our videos from Siem Reap are my absolute favorites! Thank you for watching!!

Thank you for taking the time to watch! When we returned to the states, my youngest daughter told us she really missed riding in the tuk tuks in Cambodia. It's just funny how out of all the fun stuff we planned, most of what they remember are the little things. Cambodia was awesome for both!

Thanks for watching our video! I'd love to return to Italy...it has been way too long!

Pretty sure just Bronchitis, but wouldn't that be wild! Cambodia was amazing, thank you for checking those out! Our experiences there can't be beat. Thailand was equally amazing, though. Definitely our home away from home.

You are welcome! The best of luck to you! There's so much information out there, but the best education is always through experience. Go for it!

Querétaro is a fantastic city! We had nothing but fantastic experiences there. Do yourself a favor and hit up Tacos Mario. You can thank us later! Good Luck, and happy retirement!

Hi Matthew! Thanks for watching our videos. We are just about to finish editing our "around the world" trip! Emily is happy to be back in school to see some of her friends.

100% We absolutely LOVE Querétaro!!

Most definitely! Language is very rarely an issue for us. I wouldn't let that stop you. That being said, it is always a great idea to learn a few basic phrases and practice with the locals. We find it is always appreciated if we at least try. And with any unfamiliar situation or new city, make smart decisions when traveling alone. Don't wander around late at night, keep a close eye on your belongings, and do a little research before you go. Happy travels!

Yes! Luckily it was right around the corner from our Airbnb. So convenient!

That's great, you will love it there! You have to try Tacos Mario! Soooo good!

Thank you! Colin always tells us that Mexico is his favorite country from our "round the world" travels last year. The kids all loved it, and had a ball iceskating in Querétaro!

Thank you so much! This past year has been the best time of our lives. We are happy to share!

You are correct, North America IS very different. We are so lucky to share these experiences with our kids.

Ha Ha! Colin says hello!

@@myhappyreality1661 hi

Our pleasure! It was such a fun experience for our family.

Hello Mr. Vanny!!

Zach's host family was arranged from the University of Cincinnati back when we were in college. We aren't familiar with any services that arrange this type of thing, but they are out there. Studying abroad is one of the best things Zach has ever done. We highly recommend it! Good luck to you if you are considering it!

From what we know, homeschool requirements vary from state to state. Some are more strict than others about classes, records, and testing. We came from KY, which is one of the more lenient states. We set up our own private homeschool before we left, and created our own curriculum according to our world travels based on the places we would be visiting. (History, Cultural Studies, Science, etc...)It was a ton of work, but worth it! Outside resources we used included Khan Academy, Duolingo, Time for learning, and our local library. (If you have an education background like my husband, you can create a curriculum based on the state standards, and you can pull from different sites to supplement learning) As far as diplomas go, you are awarded a diploma with whichever homeschool/program you use. We will likely enroll back to public schools when we are not traveling. But, if we continue to travel, our private homeschool can issue the diploma as well. Hope this helps! There's so many different methods to homeschooling; this was just the approach that worked for us. Thanks for watching our video!!
