53. A Field School in Europe's Sunniest Island: Why Hvar is the Ultimate Mediterranean Slow Travel Destination

Send us a text! Q's? Text now! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2504669/fan_mail/new] 🌎 Carolyn founded the Field School of Hvar on the sunniest island in Europe after her job offer was rescinded during the pandemic and she fell in love in a place with a more authentic, community-focused way of life. 👍 The Field School offers families a pedagogy of belonging, blending child enrichment with a consistent home base for worldschoolers looking for a deeper connection to Mediterranean culture. ✨ 5 Questions Answered: * How do you transition from corporate life to living abroad? Carolyn moved in 2020 after the global economic situation shifted her career plans, choosing Croatia because it was admitting Americans at the time. * What are the financial trade-offs of moving to Europe? While she acknowledges the impact on her earning potential, she highlights the low cost of living, including an affordable seaside preschool for her son. * How do you teach history and science through worldschooling? The Field School uses place-based learning to explore themes like the Mediterranean Silk Road, biology, and the local ethnobotanical heritage. * How do kids handle multiple languages? Her son is being raised with the OPOL (one parent, one language) method with English and Croatian while also learning the local Hvar dialect. * How do families find community while traveling? By joining a program that connects traveling families with local students and traditions, like the olive harvest, families can transition to a slower, communal lifestyle.
