What we do

Voyage Maps is a worldschooling app intentionally designed with families at the center of every decision. It exists to support those who choose to educate through experience, curiosity, and connection rather than confinement. The platform connects like-minded traveling families from around the world and provides a trusted space where learning, community, and mobility come together in a meaningful and practical way.

At launch, Voyage Maps is built with a focused set of core features that prioritize ease of use, clarity, and real-world value. This initial simplicity is intentional. Rather than building in isolation, the platform is designed to evolve alongside its users. As families, hubs, and hosts join, Voyage Maps will continuously gather feedback through surveys and direct engagement to understand which tools, filters, and features are most valuable. Every stage of growth is guided by the community itself, ensuring the platform remains relevant, inclusive, and responsive.

Voyage Maps brings together worldschool hubs across six continents and at sea, offering families access to a diverse range of environments and cultures. These hubs may include established learning communities, temporary meetups, shared living spaces, cruise-based gatherings, or informal local connections. We actively welcome anyone who offers rentable space, opportunities for shared community meals—even if only once a week—and, most importantly, skill sharing. Skill sharing is the heart of the Voyage Maps vision: parents, hosts, and community members contributing knowledge, trades, languages, arts, and lived experience to support collective learning.

The platform is designed to help families discover places and people aligned with their values, interests, and learning goals. Beyond locations, Voyage Maps emphasizes connection—enabling families to communicate with hubs and with one another, ask questions, share insights, and build relationships before arriving and long after moving on. This continuity transforms travel from a series of short-term stays into a cohesive, ongoing educational journey.

The broader vision behind Voyage Maps is to centralize and strengthen the global worldschooling ecosystem. Today, families often spend countless hours searching across fragmented platforms, social media groups, and word-of-mouth networks to find communities that meet their needs. Voyage Maps seeks to simplify that process by creating a single, intuitive platform where trusted information, communication, and discovery coexist.

Worldschoolers travel not merely to visit new places, but to experience life fully and intentionally. Learning happens through presence, cultural immersion, collaboration, and shared responsibility. Voyage Maps is built to support this way of life by lowering barriers to access, fostering meaningful connections, and honoring diverse educational paths.

Ultimately, Voyage Maps is more than a technology platform. It is a living, evolving global network shaped by the families and communities it serves. Its vision is to empower worldschooling families to move through the world with confidence, curiosity, and connection—knowing that wherever they go, learning and community are within reach.

Join us in the mountains of Western North Carolina

Coweeta Heritage Center/Talking Rock Farm is located in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Coweeta is located in a beautiful and diverse temperate rain forest. It feels very remote here yet we are just 12 miles from Franklin, NC. Winters can be mild. Coweeta is blessed with springs and a stream, pristine forests, and abundant wildlife. Power is provided by a hydro-electric system which is not connected to the grid. An organic garden and trout pond provide healthy food that is also shared with the local community. Hiking, kayaking, and other outdoor activities are just out the back door. Coweeta is looking for others who would like to join together to form an Intentional Community embracing the principles of Voluntary Simplicity. Simply put (no pun intended): We wish “to live simply so that others may simply live.” It is a recognition that nature provides us with valuable services and resources that we can use to enrich our lives. Utilizing local resources, appropriate technology, and working cooperatively, we can discover creative ways to meet our needs as “directly and simply as possible.”. An example of this, in the tradition of many Indigenous People”, is to gather, and use wildcrafted foods as part of our diet. There is great joy in going to nature’s grocery for our sustenance. Voluntary Simplicity is based on the recognition that “very little is needed to live well” and that “abundance is a state of mind.” Living lower on the economic ladder allows us more time and freedom to pursue other life goals: community and social engagement, family time, artistic or intellectual projects, more fulfilling employment, political participation, sustainable living, spiritual exploration, and more. According to the Voluntary Collective, “The grounding assumption of Voluntary Simplicity is that all human beings have the potential to live meaningful, free, happy and infinitely diverse lives while consuming no more than an equitable share of (the world’s) resources.” We affirm the need for a work/life balance, the right to a healthy environment and healthy food, and healthy community relationships supporting a diverse population. It is our responsibility as engineers of a new generation to make the changes that we want to see happen and pass this on to the next generations. We can’t wait for someone else to do this important work. Voluntary Simplicity is a quiet revolution that can change the world. As one person said, “we must be poets of our own lives and of a new generation.” We hope you will join us here at Coweeta or elsewhere on our journey to a healthier and more sustainable future! Temporary housing is available in a 27 foot trailer trailer with attached deck next to a creek while we build additional housing. Your basic living expenses (shelter, basic food items, power and water) are met through our market garden or other fundraising projects that you will participate in. You are expected to contribute a given amount of your time and energy to help grow our community and meet our financial obligations. Possible future plans include establishing a retreat center for healing our earth and each other. Work includes organic gardening, construction projects and other community building activities. Come join Coweeta and learn how to live lightly on the land and enjoy the Earth’s bounty!
