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.

Seeking Couples Interested in Long Term Deep Connection & Farming (open to singles)

Description Our  sloped and terraced community farm has far more potential than we have time and energy to use to the fullest. We have been in community for 15 years now, but feeling pulled to the deeper nourishment we find in long-term residents over shorter-term interns.  We seek one to two couples (or super aligned singles) who are interested in conscious connection, intimate conversation, personal growth and healing, regenerative agriculture, and serious about a building a life in community.  Although we hold space and flexibility for shifts in needs, we desire humans who plan to stay for all or part of a season (1-3 months at a minimum), after which we would explore longer-term alignment and relationships.  We MAY also be open to folks wanting to live off-site, as long as we prioritize ample time to explore how we work together before we get too deep. Current Use Heart 2 Heart Farms is a small, forested, 10 acre Permaculture farm nestled in the fertile hills of the Willamette Valley. Between the quaint towns of Newberg and Sherwood, this oasis is in the middle of wine country, just 30 minutes south of Portland, has been an intentional community and teaching facility for over 15 years, hosting a myriad of community outreach, up-cycling, homesteading, and prepping workshops.  Although we have recently slowed substantially, residents should be prepared for both a busy environment, and shared, informal, mixed-use spaces. We are almost completely self-sufficient, producing large varieties of heirloom fruits and vegetables, and we breed, butcher, and sometimes sell heritage chickens, turkeys, rabbits, pigs, goats, sheep, and cattle. We tan hides, carve bone, save seed, occasionally blow glass, throw pottery, create alternative/green energy, dig root cellars, and build constantly. We have three large un/under-utilized areas available: The front hill is a terraced and amended south-facing slope that has LOTS of room and potential. We also have a poultry pasture is 2 acres of partially wooded Douglas Fir, an additional 4 acres of wooded mixed use browsing space and native habitat that’s virtually unused at the moment, two large greenhouses (including one set up aquaponically), and lots of space to expand the orchard and rotational grazing system. Additionally, we have a 20’x40′ healing center and sacred space we use for yoga, massage, reiki, ceremony (including traditional Lakota sweat lodge and grief/trauma work), and make available to local practitioners to offer their services to the community. If you are wanting to connect deeply, work hard, learn and expand your experience base, and participate in a small but established intentional community, shoot us a note and let’s explore. Owner’s Short Term Vision for the Property Our short-term goal is to find/train a few young/new farmers to assist with land stewardship and increase productivity of the existing space to spread out the work/responsibility and assist in overall streamlining and cleanup of the existing farm/operations. Owner’s Long Term Vision for the Property Our long-term vision is to continue to use this space as a teaching and educational facility, expanding the diversity and frequency of events we can host and services we can offer. Over the next few years, we hope to find an a couple interested in learning/independently managing most of the farm production, which will allow us to dig deeper into the training and certification we make available, to include natural building, basic and advanced Permaculture technique and application, beekeeping, horticulture, animal husbandry, food preservation, fermentation, plant identification/natural foraging, and primitive skills. Available Water / Irrigation Extensive rainwater collection on site, as well as a high-flow/capacity well. Soil Type / Quality Sandy loam with great organic matter, good clay content, and established vermiculture and mycorrhizal network. Buildings and Structures Available for Farm Use We have multiple barns and greenhouse space for use, or lease, depending on the particulars of use/situation. Farm Equipment Available for Use We have a skid steer on site, as well as rototiller, chipper, 26′ truck, and pickup trucks for use. Hand tools are also available, depending on the arrangement. Any Restrictions That Could Limit Agricultural Production Creating and supporting natural borders, food forests, and wildlife habitat (and incorporating these into a holistic/natural pest management strategy) is a very high priority to us, so intensive mono-crop/large machine harvesting and/or crops needing spraying/chemicals are not likely a fit on this site. County: Washington Total Acreage: 10 Acreage Available to Landseeker: 5 Current Farming Practices: Organic, Not Certified, Biodynamic, Dry Farming, Season Extension Farming Practices Allowed: Certified Organic, Organic, Not Certified, Biodynamic, Dry Farming, Season Extension Agriculture Types Suitable: Beans, Bees, Berries, Dairy, Fiber Animals, Flowers, Goats, Herbs, Hogs, Mushrooms, Nursery Stock, Nuts, Orchard/Fruit, Pasture, Poultry, Rabbits, Sheep, Vegetables, Vineyard, Other
