My mind is one of a journalist. My soul is one of mama yoga traveller. I adore the way Sun can fire up nature’s colours, and places where absolute silence is possible. One thing I will never get enough of is laughter of my boys. And that's what started this pages. What do kids love? Exploring. How do they learn? Through play. What quickens their (and mine) blood? New places, new experiences, adventures. Everything and anything that gets their imaginations wild, and their curiosity fed. I never really felt that things or toys would ever be enough for what I wanted to give them. So I decided to give them experiences and well, the world :) What you will find here, and what I refer to as Wonder Schooling, is how to make/take learning opportunities that support child's inquisitive mind, their wonder about the world and their natural wish to explore. This will include our travels and helpful inputs on what worked for our family while wandering those streets and paths for the first time. In short it's a blog about travel, learning and all that necessarily comes from these two combined together :)
