The podcast continues, following 20 families as we travel together through Vietnam, Taiwan, and South Korea as a village.
This season, Asha, who joined Traveling Village 1, calls in every week to talk with different people on the trip and follow along from afar. Each episode is around 20 minutes and is meant to give an honest, grounded sense of what village life feels like as it unfolds.
In this third episode, Asha talks with Ivana, who joined Traveling Village 1 and is now back for Traveling Village 3. Ivana and her family travel full time, worldschooling their three children, and they are now two weeks into life in the village in Hoi An. They talk about:
What led their family to full-time travel and worldschooling
Pulling away from traditional school and embracing self-directed learning
How work, income, and logistics function while traveling long term
Early experiences with other worldschooling communities
What makes Traveling Village different from other setups
Commitment, engagement, and co-creating community together
How children form friendships across ages, cultures, and languages
Social life, resilience, and adapting to constant change
What a typical day looks like in the village
The Nest and how shared spaces shape daily rhythms
Why walkability has changed everyday life in TV3
Returning friendships and starting again after time apart
Advice for families curious about worldschooling but unsure where to start

Traveling Village Has Officially Started
Episode 1
Feb 10, 2024
29:56
After 2 weeks into Traveling Village, we are ready with our very first podcast episode.
Asha, Kiran and Nikolaj give a behind-the-scenes story of the start and how it has all been. We talk about how the project got started, a bit about the structure, and a lot about what's going on in the Village.
Our first episode is an introduction and covers a lot of different things. In future episodes, we will dig more into specific things.
In the episode you will meet: Asha Melvana: Asha is traveling with her 2-year old son Khef Kiran Pathakota: Kiran was one of the founding families, working more than a year on the project Nikolaj Astrup: The original founder As we had a lot to cover, we know that some might need some context for some of the things we mention. Here are some terms we use and what they mean: Founding family: Traveling Village was started by one family, but got 3 more "founding families" on board. These 4 families have created everything from scratch. Workgroup: TV has 16 different workgroups consisting of 3-6 TV-members. Workgroups include groups to arrange our communal meals, finance, events and trips, infrastructure and emergency & conflict. Playgroups: Similar to workgroups, but not something that effects the whole community. We have playgroups for workouts, football, and much more. Slack: Slack is a group chat system that we have used as our digital town square a year leading up to the trip and is an integral part of the village communication. You can follow TV on Instagram @traveling_village. Send us a message on Instagram if you have any thoughts or questions and we will try to cover it on the next episode.

Here are some terms we use and what they mean: Founding family: Traveling Village was started by one family, but got 3 more "founding families" on board. These 4 families have created everything from scratch. Workgroup: TV has 16 different workgroups consisting of 3-6 TV-members. Workgroups include groups to arrange our communal meals, finance, events and trips, infrastructure and emergency & conflict. Playgroups: Similar to workgroups, but not something that effects the whole community. We have playgroups for workouts, football, and much more. Slack: Slack is a group chat system that we have used as our digital town square a year leading up to the trip and is an integral part of the village communication. You can follow TV on Instagram @traveling_village. Send us a message on Instagram if you have any thoughts or questions and we will try to cover it on the next episode.
