There's a brand new group for unschoolers wanting to travel and meet
other unschoolers - and/or would like to meet unschoolers who *are*
travelling:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/untraveler/?yguid=154304522
Here's the description:
This group was created to bring unschoolers and eclectic
homeschoolers together from around the world! It should be a way to
find people with similar interests to be your "tour guides", in a
sense, in your world travels.
There will be host families, and traveling families. The job of the
host family will be to help the traveling family plan their trip.
They will help them figure out where to stay (near the host family),
what type of activities to do, where to eat, how much money to
bring, etc. Then, when the traveling family arrives, the host family
will help show them how "the locals" live! The parties involved will
decide how much, or how little vacation time will be spent together.
If you are interested in being a host family, just fill out the
database. Then, the traveling families can browse the database, and
find a host family with similar interests, in a location that they
want to visit.
If you are going to be a traveling family, it is preferred that you
also offer to be a host family. You don't have to have a lot of
money, a fancy house, or live in an exotic place to do it. You just
have to be willing to open yourself up to another's way of life!
It is not recommended to make plans to stay in someone's home when
you are traveling, especially if you have never met. That way, if
things don't go as well as hoped, the travelers won't have to rely
on the host family, and the host family won't get "stuck" with the
travelers. If need be, each can go their separate ways!
The group is just here to help families hook up. All travel plans
should be made offline. This is a private group, so messages and
other features will be visible to only the group members, and new
members will be heavily moderated. (Spammers will be
excommunicated!) Though just to be on the safe side, phone numbers
and addresses especially should be shared offline.
This should be fun! Go see the world!!!!!
