Single Mom takes her kids around the world!
My Travel Story
Firstly, I am using this trip as a way to homeschool my children and show them the different cultures of the world. We will have hands on learning in all subjects, such as the history of temples, indigenous people around the world, and ancient relics. I will teach them about different cultures and rituals and how they are different from America. I also believe that at their ages it would be a great opportunity to learn a new language or 10. :). My son is amazingly smart and sweet but he is being bullied at school. I would love nothing more than to homeschool him. I am a firm believer that education is the most importantly thing you can do for yourself.
Secondly, this will be a trip of bonding for our family. For years, we are constantly apart, due to their schedule with their father and my schooling and work schedule. I miss my children dearly and would love to be able to spend time with them and not worrying about daily stresses.
Third, I personally need to take a break from working and school. Somehow, when I came back from my trip to Alaska last summer I had become ill. After months and months of doctors visits and trying different medication, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Basically, when my body is stressed, hot or cold, tired, or sick it attacks my nerves and muscles. Due to work and school, I am stressed constantly. I'm in pain 98% of the time because of this. Somehow, I do not take off work and finish my school work despite all this. What little energy I have left goes to my kids. I need a mental health break from life in order to be the best mom I can be.
Lastly, I just really miss my kids.
Please help us become a closer knit, less stressed, well educated family.
*We are saving our own money for this trip, I plan on moving into cheaper housing, selling our furniture, and saving every last penny. However, I do not know if I will have enough money by the end of it to travel as long as I'm hoping for. Every dollar helps and we would really appreciate anything you can do (even if you just share our story :)).
ps. We need to escape Trump!
