Hi, WE'RE DAN & FRANCESCA,
In June of 2024 we embarked on a year long "Worldschooling" adventure with our three kids Ryan (12), Austen (10) and Finley (8).
Originally from the East Coast of the United States (New York & New Jersey), we now live in Monte Rio, CA in the heart of Sonoma's wine country.

Omg the escape room garage had me gasping and laughing!!! What a story. I love how travel opens us up to all sorts of wild and wacky and—even if only in hindsight—wonderful moments! Glad you all escaped safely!

Wow, those pictures are amazing. What a trip, and Ryan's video on sharks was spectacular. I learned many new shark facts and loved the graphics. His voice was nice and clear and easy to listen to. Great job Ryan! Miss you all, enjoy your travels, which I know you are!!!

Damn Dan - everything was going swimmingly until I read about the Tuk Tuk accident - so sorry to hear about that and the injuries to Francesca and Ligaya - I can imagine the terrible guilt that I surely would also be feeling but as you say taking the positives the kids were not hurt, you were not drunk and there was insurance... fingers crossed for the fastest possible recovery
