Location Independence meets Family Travel

Location independence is something that many parents want. For Caroline King and her family, a life of family travel and location independence happened as much out of necessity as out of desire. Living in her home country of Sweden, Caroline faced the country's "skolplikt" (compulsory education) system, which required that her kids attend Swedish schools, but the businesses that she and her husband run had them traveling around for up to four months out of the year, and they wanted their young sons with them.

Working, Worldschooling & Location Independence

Listen in as Caroline talks about how they changed their businesses, moved out of Sweden and turned to a life of family travel and location independence. Now based in Prague, Czech Republic, Caroline and I discuss running location independent businesses, using unschooling and worldschooling methods to teach their children
