The best part about unschooling/homeschooling/worldschooling is really, that you can just pack your bags and shift the history lesson to where it really happened.
I need to say Egypt is the country that left me bamboozled the most, even after traveling to all these countries with my child. Never seen so much history about our extraterrestrial ancenstors and origins, topped with delicious food and chaos.
We skipped the tour buses and the “official” routes. Instead, we took the off-beaten paths. The best part was clearly over night bus from Cario to the oasis Siwa. Desert by night is just something else.
In Saqqara, we wandered away from the Step Pyramid crowds and found a half-buried mastaba where a local farmer let us crawl inside. The walls still held had paintings, and we had the chance to explore it all by ourselves. That’s when history stops being a textbook and becomes a conversation.
Exploring Egypt on your own terms means maximum knowledge, minimum filter. And, what I learned, unschooling isn’t about answers. It’s about asking better questions. Love it.
