Was This Location a Mistake? | TV Podcast ep 4

In this episode, we dig into the ups and downs of being in the second location of Traveling Village, Koh Lanta in Thailand.

We cover:

Why the kids are having the time of their lives, but the adults are struggling
The beauty of free play
How a much slower pace and less to do affect the community
How this location works for the more sensitive kids
The impact of Traveling Village and how we could do better in the future
Was this location a mistake?

ABOUT US:
We are creating a traveling village!

20 families traveling together for four months as an intentional community, exploring a new way of living. Every week we have two communal meals and we have a bunch of workgroups who make everything happen. Every family with their own freedom to do what they want, but a big community to tap into, which makes it easier to change location because all the friends will come along!
