Hi Sharon, Thanks for writing. I cannot agree more. I think it is imperative that we directly open ourselves to other ways of seeing and knowing, to challenge our assumptions, to experience new things and have our cup filled. Doing this through a filter is always an approximation of the real thing. Part of our homeschooling is world-schooling. We contribute to projects and communities beyond our own – volunteering sometimes, working sometimes – this way we can cover our expenses and have a deeply engaging and meaningful experience. I can feel the energy for another journey building in our house. Simple travel is to me very much part of my simple life thinking. Kind regards, Morag

I too like a simple life – most of our vegetables are homegrown, we home preserve, recycle, re-use more than most and we keep looking for ways to simplify our needs, However, for us our lifestyle must allow for travel (for myself and my family)- to expand my horizons and encourage open mindedness and humility about ours and others cultures and wisdom. Too much focus on just my little plot of land makes me too narrow in my outlook. And using media to experience the real world is, by its very nature, an experience already shaped by another's perspective.
