Friends | Day 11 of my 2023 Journal

Cecilie Conrad·Jan 11, 2023

Yesterday some of our friends arrived after a long journey, they had to stay all night in Rome airport, as they missed the connecting flight.

Living a nomad life is often extremely social ad sometimes kind of lonely. But we don't really care.

We love to have people around, and we love to chill and do our thing.

We are grateful we have friends who are willing to travel far and long to come to see us, and we will enjoy these days in their beautiful company immensely.

This particular family we have known for a very long time. We have lived together so many times, done a lot of projects, and traveled together.

We are so grateful to have them in our lives and right now for having them right here.

Unschooling and Parent consulting, conversations, blogposts, and podcasts on family life and learning

Hi, I'm Cecilie Conrad. I'm a trained psychologist, mother of four, radical unschooler and full-time traveller. I have lived with unschooling for over a decade and help other families find their own path – whether it is about homeschooling, unschooling, or the bigger question of how you want to live as a family.

I offer guidance, conversations and talks. I call my work grandmothering – not coaching in the traditional sense, but presence, professional insight and concrete help navigating motherhood and finding your way home to your own values.

Am I the right person to help you? You can book a free discovery call, and we'll talk and figure it out.
