4 months into our trip around the world and made it to our 15th country: Kenya! Is this what you envisioned?! Kenya actually has the #1 ranked beach in Africa, and we are staying here on Diani Beach for a whole month! We had our first big adventure here with Natural World Kenya during a day visit to Wasini Island, and it was some of the best snorkeling we've ever done!! The water was crystal clear, and the fish were pretty spectacular. One of the species we saw was over 2 feet long! The kids have been snorkeling quite a few times but this was the most comfortable they've ever seemed in the water. They dove down to get closer looks and often ventured off on their own. Such a special day for our family! We saw dolphins jumping into the air during our ride on a traditional dhow boat and had an AMAZING lunch on the island overlooking the water.

➡️ Book list freebie! Follow along and message us on Instagram if you'd like a link to our family's book list during our travels! Instagram.com/travelinggraces/ We are thankful that learning can be done from anywhere! Bookwork, reading, and writing can be completed on a train, in an Airbnb, or at a park. Maybe more importantly, learning can be on a guided tour, exchanging foreign currency, communicating with a language barrier, or during a discussion at the dinner table. Our goal for this year has been to do basic schoolwork but still leave as much time as possible for learning through world experiences. After all, it would be a shame to spend 6 hours on bookwork one day while the Colosseum is down the road! ✅ So here are our basic schooling components: - Math Workbooks - Journals - Reading Kindles - Typing through writing emails to friends and family - Language practice through Duolingo and YouTube videos - Learning about the country, sites, science, and history of the country

The Colombian Amazon is a hidden gem that has so much to offer! Cuddling with wild monkeys and sloths, swimming in the Amazon River, spotting pink river dolphins, and searching for anacondas were just a few of our family's highlights. You can also walk across the border for dinner in Brazil and get a drink across the river in Peru all in an afternoon! Leticia, Colombia, the "gateway to the Colombian Amazon", is accessed by a few flights per day out of Bogota. As there is no way to get here by land, the area still seems relatively untouched. The main square offers a few tour companies, a beautiful park, and views of the Amazon River... that's about it and it's glorious! We would recommend 3-4 days here. We did it in 2.5 and wish we had had one extra day of exploring. ➡️ What would be your family's highlight?!
