Re: ‘Divercity’ and the Young Consumer in Lima [CRITICAL REVIEW]

Aaarrrrgggh! We are so adamant about avoiding social programming that we do not have a tv! I'm sure you don't have one either as you are so very busy with life and reading. This is an impressive article representing all the things we do not want in our lives. Otto, my 8 year old son, and I are so excited to find like thinkers. We feel isolated in the states, almost like we are different entities in our own country. But, we are planning another venture soon. We will be heading to Costa Rica and I would love to visit Peru. We will definitely avoid "Diversity."
Love your adventures!

Wow that is so disturbing. I do my best to try to limit the consumer messages in our lives, and when we do see something I talk about it with the kids. One of the games we play is to do voice overs to commercials "Oh, look at me! If I put this on my face I will be beautiful" sort of thing. I like how you talk to Miro about how it makes you feel lacking and how to explore that feeling.

The American dream is the dream of the entrepreneur and the concept that you can define yourself with hard and dedication.

I like this one too! :)
Thanks for the opportunity and a great interview. Reading the comment by Ralph I truly hope these kinds of stories will convince other families to start traveling. It's our job as well to crush their travel fears!
Thanks

Re: 10 Top Archaeological sites from Mexico to Peru

Peru vacations — Thu, 10 May 2012 17:43:24 -0000

My favorite ones are the Chichen Itza in Mexico and Machu Picchu in Peru although I read there're lot of more historical ruins in Peru than what you would imagine.

We are planning on making a 2 month trip from PA to CA and wondered if anyone had any pointers. Kids are early teens and we will have a dog with us going to CA. This is really exciting. Any places that are a must-see. Not interested in amusment parks etc. Thanks for any help

T: One of the most unexpected things that traveling longterm has taught me is the value of less. It is an amazing sight to see your home packed away in boxes, but also incredibly liberating. Fun to look back after awhile on the road!

Re: Viewing The World As A Classroom… And Not The Other Way Around

Jeremy Branham — Fri, 04 May 2012 16:40:51 -0000

I have to admit that the idea of putting kids in school doesn't excite me either. However, I am not sure what the future holds but I want life to be more than work, school activities, and vacations. I admire those who have the guts to do it and I agree - the world should be the classroom.

Very awesome! Good luck with the book! I admire the discipline it takes to write and travel with your kid. Will look forward to the launch!

I belive institutional schooling is harmful and kills the kids' imagination. It is however difficult to find good alternatives, especially if you home-school. I will admit we had a tough time to keep a routine including time to learn...I'm sure you guys offer a great alternative and hope to follow your progress. All the best and thank you.

Hi, my name is Jackie, and I just showed this blog to my 8-yr old son. He thinks it's cool you went to a weaponry museum. He has a question: have you seen any guinea pigs running around? We have two as pets here in Chicago, and he and his brother think it's awrsome that they run wild in Peru. Maybe not in the urban areas, though. Have a great day!

So cool! We would have loved to have seen this museum when we were in Peru!

Re: Improv for Travelers!

Bret @ Green Global Travel — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 11:26:05 -0000

This is very cool! As we've discussed privately, I did improv for 8 years and even ran my own improv company for a while, teaching others how to do musical improv (my specialty). Improv has so much to teach anyone-- whether travelers or otherwise– about how to live a better life, I cannot recommend taking classes enough. If you're curious, here's a sample of the improvised musical show we did last year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v....
