Start Here
If you’re considering homeschooling through travel — or wondering whether what you’ve seen online reflects reality — start here.
Linden Branch exists because many families feel drawn to the idea of travel-based homeschooling, but struggle to find grounded, honest guidance.
What’s often available is either aspirational or overly prescriptive. What’s missing is help with thinking clearly — before decisions are made.
This page will help you understand what this site is, how to use it, and whether what you’re exploring truly fits your family.
Take your time here.
What Linden Branch Offers
Linden Branch is a decision-support platform for homeschooling families exploring travel.
It prioritizes:
- Educational continuity
- Family sustainability
- Honest trade-offs
- Long-term thinking
This is a place to plan, reflect, and decide — not to perform or compare.
Linden Branch is not:
- A travel blog
- A worldschooling manifesto
- A highlight reel
- A promise that this will “work” for everyone
If you’re looking for certainty, aesthetics, or validation — this site may feel quieter than expected. That’s intentional.
Why This Exists
I’ve homeschooled through uncertainty, disruption, and extended travel with children.
I’ve planned too much — and not enough.
And, I’ve learned what holds under pressure, and what quietly collapses.
Over time, families began asking the same questions:
- Is this actually realistic?
- What does a normal day look like?
- What are we not seeing?
Linden Branch exists to answer those questions honestly — without selling a lifestyle or prescribing a path.
This is not about replicating our family’s life.
It’s about helping you decide what belongs in yours.
The Reality Check
Travel does not replace education.
It only changes the context in which education happens.
Homeschooling through travel includes:
– Fatigue and overstimulation
– Missed expectations
– Logistical strain
– Days where learning feels harder, not easier
It can also include:
– Deep Contextual understanding
– Stronger family resilience
– Curiosity that connects across subjects
Both realities exist at the same time.
Any platform that shows you only one side is incomplete.
This Will Be Most Useful If You Are:
- Homeschooling (or planning to)
- Curious about integrating travel into education
- Balancing work, children, and real-world constraints
- Interested in slow, intentional movement
- Willing to trade fantasy for clarity
If you’re looking for constant travel, daily itineraries, or aesthetic-driven content, this site may not align with what you need. That’s not a judgment — just clarity.
