MEET YOUR HOST:

Hey Worldschoolers! My name is Jenny and I am single parent to my wonderful son, Baxter. We are based in London, UK, where we have both lived our entire lives, however, we travel as often as possible and hope to increase that in the coming years. I am a professional freelance photographer and specialize in capturing children and families in a natural, unposed style. Baxter is 8 years old and we mostly follow an unschooling style here in London where we visit a ridiculous amount of galleries, museums, immersive art shows, and more. He attends a self-directed learning community 2 days a week while I work and whilst I would rather be travelling full time it's not a bad base to plan from.

Baxter and I took part in a WS pop-up hub in Athens a few years ago and loved it! I am constantly trying to find ways to travel more often and for longer so I signed up as host! I was also an international producer for many years so it seems like a natural application of my skills to begin hosting. This Pop-Up is in our home city so any questions just shout, we are both eager to show you around :)

LODGING & NEIGHBORHOODS & TRANSPORT:

It's safe to say there will be no localized neighborhood for this pop-up. We will group activities by area to explore a different part of the city each day. Expect most of our time to be within central London between Kensington Palace in the West, Tower of London in the East, Regent's Park in the North, and Battersea Park in the South. There may be a day or two spent outside this main area. The host lives in North London, in an area known as Crouch End

Airbnb, Agoda, Booking, and other search engines have short-term apartments available. The Premier Inn is recommended as a basic, budget-friendly hotel: https://www.premierinn.com/gb/en/hotels/england/greater-london/london/budget-hotels-in-london.html

It's also safe to say you will use public transport while there. Adults can pay with contactless payments and kids up to age 10 ride free with a paying adult... for kids ages 11 - 15, they can get a Travel Oyster Card with the Young Visitor Discounts for half-priced fare.
