Wonder Year Summary

Wonder Year: A Guide to Long-Term Family Travel and Worldschooling by Julie Frieder

Learn how to pack up the family for a life-changing, long-term journey filled with education and adventure.

If you've ever dreamed about an epic family adventure and heading out on the road for a few months or more, Wonder Year is for you. Part inspiration and part how-to, this book demystifies the seemingly outrageous prospect of embarking on a long-term family trip and using the world as a classroom for your kids-a trailblazing approach known as worldschooling.

Packed with practical information, Wonder Year offers invaluable guidance to help transform your dream into a well-planned reality for your family. Woven throughout the book are evocative travelogues and photos from families sharing worldschooling experiences. Paddling a wild and scenic Oregon river, stargazing in New Mexico, and visiting World War II sites in France are just a few of the colorful stories that will no doubt stir you to envision your own journey.

This book will show you how to:

  • Explore funding options for long-term family travel-be it a summer, semester, year, or more
  • Choose where to go and navigate the logistics of getting there
  • Discover alternative education methods for teaching your kids on the road
  • Travel responsibly and sustainably
  • Identify ways to earn income while traveling
  • Stay healthy and safe along the way
  • Tap into a global community of worldschoolers and family adventurers

You'll learn that extended family travel is more attractive and attainable than ever before, and remote living and learning are not actually remote at all. Wonder Year will help you slow down, simplify, and wonder at all the world has to offer.

-Florence Williams, author of The Nature Fix: Why Nature Makes Us Happier, Healthier, and More Creative

For the intrepid family that's keen to raise kids with a broad worldview, the curricular visions and thoughtful considerations outlined in Wonder Year will help you get out the door and on the road toward the greatest discoveries of your family's lives. A recipe book for activating the deepest curiosities of young minds.
-Chris Yager, founder of immersive student travel company Where There Be Dragons

Wonder Year makes the case for extended family travel and 'worldschooling,' then provides the nuts and bolts of how to actually get out there.
-Joshua Berman, author and travel columnist for The Denver Post

Wonder Year will give you all the tools and tips you need to take your family on the adventure of a lifetime. As an early child educator, I appreciate their advice on how to educate on the move!
-Stefanie Hohl, author and founder of ABC See, Hear, Do

Extended travel-the wanderlust kind-has always felt out of reach for too many because of the expense, the disapproval of others, and seemingly overwhelming logistical challenges. But you can do it! This book is literally a 'how-to' guide for a life-affirming family adventure.
-Charles Wheelan, author of We Came, We Saw, We Left and Naked Economics

Simply superb! A must-read for anyone considering extended family travel, Wonder Year is the new standard by which all other books on this subject will be judged.
-John Higham, author of 360 Degrees Longitude

Wonder Year opens the imagination to possibilities of extraordinary family learning adventures. A treasure trove of resources and inspiration for parents who desire to be learners alongside their children, transforming and growing on a shared journey.
-Colette Plum, assistant dean, UC Berkeley Study Abroad
