🇷🇴 Inside Romania: Teens & Tweens Month in Transylvania
📅 When: June 1–30, 2026
📍 Where: Transylvania, Romania
📍 Where: Transylvania, Romania
Join us for a family-inclusive, month-long Worldschool community experience in the heart of the Carpathian Mountains.
Let’s slow down and truly cherish this precious time with our kids—these years are fleeting, and before we know it, they’ll be off chasing their own adventures. Join us in exploring the wild beauty, rich culture, and timeless traditions of Romania together, as a family.
👨👩👧👦 Meet Our Family
We’re a family of five who thrive on adventure, connection, and discovery—
both in nature and in community.
Victor, born and raised in Zărnești, Romania, grew up exploring the Carpathian Mountains and brings his deep love for photography, hiking, and Romanian culture into every experience we create. Noelle, originally from sunny Florida, USA, has spent over a decade coaching football/soccer internationally. With a background in Educational Leadership and a heart for meaningful family experiences, she’s passionate about creating opportunities for young people to grow through travel.
Our three kids—Kenzie (15), Kai (14), and Ocean (10)—have been worldschooling since they were little and bring their own spark to our community: Kenzie is a talented musician, artist, and soccer player who loves to capture the world through a camera lens—a skill she’s developed alongside her dad. Kai is a true soccer enthusiast who plays any chance he gets and loves making new friends through sports. Ocean, our youngest, is an imaginative storyteller, avid reader, and enthusiastic goalkeeper who’s always ready to share a fun fact or dive into a new book.
As a global worldschooling family, we value connection, cultural immersion, and learning through real-life experiences.
🌿 What to Expect: A Family-Inclusive, Immersive Experience
Whether you're a teen, tween, parent, or younger sibling, you'll be part of a vibrant Worldschool community. Based in a mountain village, this program blends culture, nature, creativity, and connection in a way that engages the whole family.
🏔️ You’ll uncover hidden treasures nestled within traditional Romanian village life, where unpaved paths, rustic homes, and time-honored customs are part of daily life. Wander through the breathtaking Carpathian trails and take in the serene beauty of shepherd-filled valleys, horse-drawn carts, hand-stacked haystacks, and the rhythm of rural living.
🏰 At the base of the mountain, you can explore the legendary Bran Castle—famously linked to the Dracula legend—and dive into the charm of the surrounding areas that offer their own slice of authentic Transylvanian culture.
🏞️Your adventure also extends to the vibrant city of Brașov, known for its medieval Saxon fortifications, the imposing Gothic-style Black Church, colorful Baroque architecture, and cozy cafés and restaurants tucked along cobblestone streets.
