Episode 18 - Ivana Peterson

I spoke with Ivana Peterson, a friend with whom we are currently co-living in Fethiye, Turkey. Ivana is a mother of three children and wife to her husband, Tommy. You can listen to Episode 4 of this podcast if you’d like to hear our first conversation. One thing I appreciate about Ivana and her family is that they are full-time traveling with older children (ages 6, 9, and 12), and they consider each person's needs in their family. It can be easy to embark on a traveling lifestyle with young children who are content as long as they are with their caregivers, but as children age, they have more of a say in where they go and who they want to be with. We recorded this podcast from our rental home inside the sauna (it was not turned on) while the children and Andy played Minecraft together in the living room. The acoustics were pretty good in the sauna, and I used Adobe's AI Podcasting tool https://podcast.adobe.com/enhance to remove background noise. It also removed our laughter, so there are a few places in the podcast where you don't hear us laughing, but our voices sound jovial when we continue speaking. I then used Audacity to edit the recording, removing a few filler words, an interruption from a child, and the silent places where our laughter was. I used the song Forest Lullaby for the intro and outro tracks from Pixaby.com I hope you enjoy our conversation.

Episode 17 - Lorian Ray

We are currently in Fethiye, Turkey, staying with our friends at The Petersons. They met Lorian and his daughter, Mira, at the Bansko Worldschooling Hub run by the Arctic Terns Foundation, which they participated in before coming to Fethiye. Lorian and Mira came to Fethiye for a visit for a few days this week. I knew we had to record a podcast when I heard some of his stories. Lorian has traveled extensively in the Middle East. Andy took notes while chatting with Lorian and marked a Google Map with ideas for future travels (possibly a future Traveling Village). He says one of his favorite countries is Oman.We recorded this podcast at the kitchen table while our five children played an epic game of tag in the background. Lorian suggested I try using the Adobe Enhance Speech AI filter to remove background noise from the recording. It did remove the noise, but it also made some words slightly slurred. You can use the free version if the audio is under 30 minutes.For those of you curious about my process for editing the podcast - I will use VLC Media player to convert the audio from MP4 to MP3, then upload the MP3 recording to a free audio editing tool called Audacity. I listen to the podcast and edit out sections to try to make the conversation smooth. This one had 4 sections edited out. A friendly child was curious about what those fuzzy microphones we were wearing were and needed some food. I also edited out a section where I tried to get Lorian to tell the story of him having diarrhea in China and visiting a public restroom that was more than public, but alas, he said that story didn’t quite fit the theme of worldschooling.Lorian has traveled with his daughter, Mira, age 9, for two years. They have done several walkways and a couple of worldschooling hubs and live cheaply by traveling in their campervan. This podcast shares his insight into how to find a good match with the workaway experiences and his low of driving through Morocco with his daughter while someone chucked drugs into his window before getting onto a Ferry to Spain.The intro and outtro tracks are by LesFM taken from Pixabay’s royalty free music website.

Episode 16 - Cara H Cadwallader

Cara H Cadwallader is a solo worldschooling mother with her 10 year old son, who is currently in Luxor, Egypt attending the Egyptian Adventures Worldschooling Hub. We took some time this past week to talk about her story of worldschooling, roadschooling, and grieving after the loss of her life partner, Burt. We speak about her travels with Burt, without him, and the firsts that come after losing someone and finding the courage to continue on as a single mother. We speak of emotional fitness and this work as Burt’s legacy.

Episode 15 - Liana Zanin - Egyptian Adventures Worldschooling Hub

I interviewed Liana Zanin about the Egyptian Adventures Worldschooling Hub in Luxor, Egypt. She shares her story of how she became inspired to start this Hub, how she worked with her adopted Egyptian family to create it, and how it is opening new opportunities for women in Egypt who are employed by it. She offers her advice to those thinking of starting a Hub and to those families thinking of joining. We recorded this podcast in the courtyard of the Hub. The background noises include agricultural workers in the sugarcane field next door, an occasional fly, and the sound of the children and coaches playing together in the background.

Episode 14 - Bedtime story in Kyoto, Japan with Geocaching and 61 Points

For context, please listen to Episode 13 first. This bedtime story will take you to Kyoto, Japan where Peaches, Gum Cat, Charlotte Puppy, and R2D2 explore Maruyama Park during the cherry blossom season. They search for and find a Geocache, and rest in a hammock while Peaches says the 61 points. It is a good one to listen to before bed.

Episode 13 - Ani and Irene explain bedtime story and characters

This episode Ani and I explain the characters that often feature in our bedtime stories. This episode is a must before listening to episode 14 for context. It is also a way for us to preserve the memory of our imaginary friends and characters, because as time passes they aren't mentioned as frequently.
