I’ve had a flood of great questions coming in about our Worldschooling adventure. Every morning I plan to sit down and respond in a blog post, and every night I fall into bed kicking myself for not following through.

I’m a little embarrassed to admit that part of the delay is that I didn’t feel that my hair was up to the challenge of being videotaped. I’ve fully embraced plain living overseas, but I still struggle with “I-need-to-do-something-with-my-hair-before-I-post-a-video-to-Youtube” moments. However, I’ve moved on, and today is the day that I decided to stop procrastinating. In this video, I answer the following questions about our time in La Paz, Bolivia:

• Are there brands of food that we’d recognize?
• Are there any familiar chain restaurants or shopping stores that we’d recognize or is everything pretty much locally-owned?
• How are you mostly getting around? Are everyday life activities walkable, or do you need transportation money each day for buses, taxis, etc?
• What influences of the government do you see (U.S. or Bolivia)? Are there police or military around, or are you in a more remote area?
• What is the currency exchange like?
• How did Bolivians celebrate Christmas? Lights? Decorations? Time off of school and work?
• Is this physical separation difficult on your marriage or making your hearts grow fonder?
• What does the “wealthy side” of Bolivia look like? Does it look like American wealth or is it culturally different?
• How did you get invited and involved with volunteering in the red-light district?
• Who watches the children when you leave the house without them?
• Which homeschool curriculum do you use, and are you doing the full curriculum while traveling?

Enjoy, and please continue to send me your questions!
