Background: Kelly and Paul share about family adventures, especially from a lens of neurodivergency. If you or someone (or all) in your family are neurodivergent, you understand that travel isn’t always easy (but still worth it!)

Kelly’s travel tip: “Don’t rely on your own (very faulty) memory when telling your kids the plan for the day. Double. Check. Those. Details! …. Also, have backup plans in the back of your mind that are easy to implement is always a great idea!”

Follow along on Instagram!

Upcoming: Emmy, Derisha and Dominic comprise the family behind ArcticTerns that hosts winters in Bansko, Bulgaria and fall in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Their all ages fall program focuses on community, culture, spanish and cuisine!

The ArcticTerns Family

Emmy: “We used our experiences from previous programs to create a program that suits all different kinds of people, and all ages, and at the same time we tried to keep the costs affordable, so that we can serve as large a group of Worldschooling families as possible.”

Cost: 16,000 MXN/month per person (plus housing and optional excursions). Learn more at ArcticTerns.
