    From DuPont Circle to a Croatian Olive Grove: Building the World's Coolest Family Summer

    Our premiere guest traded a DC zip code for a Croatian olive grove — and built a school out of it. Host Annette Schmitz, co-founder of The County Edit, sits down with former DMVer Carolyn Zelikow, founder of The Field School of Hvar, a nature-based, project-driven family slow-travel program on a small Croatian island. Carolyn — who spent years in Charlottesville and DC's DuPont Circle before an unexpected move to Croatia — shares how a walk through olive groves with her toddler became a full-blown school built on stewardship, enlightenment, and dignity. They talk eventful first summers, building trust with families, why the parent experience matters as much as the kids', and how word of mouth (and zero marketing budget) built a waitlist. If you're dreaming up next summer already, start here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
