Thinking about worldschooling with your family? Curious what life is actually like in Uruguay? This is your real, unfiltered Week 1 update from our 3-month adventure with Boundless Life in La Barra.

I’m taking you behind the scenes of our experience—from the chaos of preparing to leave, to first impressions of this dreamy surf town, to what it actually feels like to land in a brand new country with kids, work, and zero routine.

If you’ve been Googling, YouTubing, and trying to piece together what Boundless Life is really like (same 🙋‍♀️)… this series is for you.

✨ In This Episode:

• What Boundless Life is (think: study abroad… but for families)
• Why we chose Uruguay over Europe, Bali, or Japan
• Traveling from Florida → Montevideo → La Barra
• The real prep process (spoiler: it’s a lot 😅)
• Renting out our home + what we wish we knew
• Traveling with dogs (and what we did instead 🐾)

🏄‍♀️ Why We Chose La Barra, Uruguay

• Closer to Eastern Time Zone for work
• Spanish immersion for our family
• Surf + beach lifestyle 🌊
• Slower, more peaceful destination

🌴 First Impressions

La Barra feels like:

• Bali (Canggu vibes)
• Australia (Byron Bay / Bondi energy)
• California coastlines

All wrapped into one relaxed, beautiful, under-the-radar destination.

💡 Tips If You're Considering This
