103: Parenting Across Cultures – How Boundless Life Helps Families Live, Learn, and Travel the World with Elodie Ferchaud

Transform With Travel: Trip Planning Made Easy For Busy Professionals Craving Bucket List Adventures

Are you yearning for an experience that could transform not just your family’s outlook on the world, but also improve your own as a parent?

Are you curious about how different cultures parent their children?

In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, the notion of slow travel can create the perfect environment for personal growth and connection. Join Elodie Ferchaud, co-founder of Boundless Life, and I as we navigate the world of travel for families.

Elodie’s journey started out as an expat family, where she observed the differences in parenting across cultures - Swedish, French, Japanese and American. Because of this cross-cultural experience, she was able to blend the best of all 4 parenting styles into her own version of mothering.

Boundless Life stands out with its thoughtfully crafted communities in places like Greece, Portugal, and Bali, aiming to provide holistic family living solutions. These include schooling based on experiential learning and tight-knit support networks for parents and children alike.

Boundless Life’s approach to education is innovative, emphasizing growth mindset and holistic child development through modular, multi-age learning environments. Kids not only partake in culturally immersive activities but also benefit from stable, supportive learning surroundings that mitigate the transitions typically associated with frequent relocations.
