🌎 Laurie Bevan-Jackson and her Leeds-based family of four are currently on a year-long sabbatical exploring Southeast Asia, Nepal and Japan. A decade of financial planning and a commitment to family attachment helped them take a sabbatical from their careers to prioritize worldschooling their twin daughters.
👍 We cover the intentionality behind their adoption journey and how they transitioned from classroom to traveling. Laurie shares her perspective as a primary school teacher on the benefits of ”Magic School Bus” style learning. She gives an honest look at the realities of traveling as an LGBTQ+ family (and where they had challenges).
✨ 5 Questions Answered:
- What isadoption like in the UK? Laurie details their plan that led to adopting their twins at eight months old.
- How can a teacher's perspective reframe school on the road? Laurie explains why swimming with whale sharks or visiting ancient cities offers cognitive benefits and critical skills that can't be replicated in a classroom.
- What does a gap year budget actually look like? The family breaks down their £180 daily budget (approx. $246 USD) and how they funded the trip through a £50,000 savings goal and the rental income from two properties.
- What are the safety and comfort considerations for LGBTQ+ families abroad? Laurie contrasts their experiences from the private nature of Japan to intrusive questions in Sri Lanka and effortless acceptance in Nepal.
- What is the must-have gear? A pegless washing line for drying clothes!
