The Difference Between School and Education – How We Learn While Sailing | S4 E8
From volcano runs to swimming with whale sharks, this week’s journey is more than just adventure — it’s real life learning. As we sail through Indonesia with our family of six, we dive deep into conversations about ethics, sustainability, and what education looks like when the world is your classroom.
Pip finishes a grade of maths, we visit a remote caldera, and experience an unforgettable dive with whale sharks near traditional Indonesian fishing bagans. But it’s the questions that follow — about tourism, conservation, and culture — that turn this episode into one of the most meaningful yet.
Whether you're homeschooling, dreaming of a sailing life, or just love ocean adventures, we hope this episode leaves you inspired and curious.
