Classroom – Funroom


Sdc10753This is LS2D, (Little Stars) I have taught them since I arrived in Korea. Back row: Nick, Eddie, Steve, Ellen, Anselm, Jennifer, Angela. Front Row: Brian, Rex, Yoony, Lucy and Angel.

Today they had a lesson on writing with Jessica and created a story map. They decided to use Adam and I as their characters. I had to take a picture of the board…with Rex as the rockstar. We didn’t get too much accomplished in my class today because they took out all their crazy phones and we had photo shoots and played with the very funny enhancements that they make.

Basically the story takes place in Gwangju, dyring Spring. Adam and Nicole are about to get married.. James and Olive (I have no idea who James is) gets kidnapped and are left in a cave. In the end, Adam and Nicole find them and they get married. They are such loonies 🙂Sdc107531

Then, my KD Phonics kids…were humming a song. I knew the song. They learned it at their public school. The video starts on Paul and goes to Emily and Maddy (with the pigtails) Hunter is behind them, then Oliver in the back left and Andy to the right. Oliver is hysterical…his voice is the loud crackly one.

How do you build a life around adventure and travel?

Intentionally and incrementally. Most families who live this way did not leap from conventional to adventurous overnight. They built remote work capacity, paid down debt, tested longer trips, and had honest conversations about what they want from their lives.

What does an adventurous family lifestyle actually look like?

Different for every family. For some it is long-term travel. For others it is weekend adventures close to home. What connects them is intentionality about how time is spent and a preference for experiences over accumulation.

How do you balance adventure with stability for kids?

By finding stability within the adventure rather than treating them as opposites. Routines, rituals, and family rhythms travel with you. Kids need consistency in relationships more than consistency in geography.

What has travel taught your family?

That people are fundamentally similar across cultures. That comfort zone is a smaller circle than it feels from inside. That the things worth having in life require effort and discomfort. And that time together doing hard interesting things is the most reliable source of family closeness.

How do you handle the pressure to live conventionally when you have chosen differently?

By getting clear on why you made the choices you made and returning to that clarity when outside noise gets loud. Most families living unconventionally describe an initial period of explaining themselves that gradually gives way to just living the life.
