SUMMARY:Yogyakarta\, Indonesia
DESCRIPTION:Come join us in Yogyakarta\, Indonesia\, for a community-centered resort-and-culture week\, March 12 – 18\, 2024. It is said that Yogyakarta is the capital of Indonesian culture. It is home to the world’s largest Buddhist temple and one of Indonesia’s most significant Hindu temples. For many Indonesian people\, it’s a place they will make a pilgrimage to once in their life\, and you’ll be amazed at the many friendly Indonesian tourists and activities for them. It can also be a bit of a hectic city at times\, so for this trip we will base ourselves at a paradise within Yogyakarta\, the Hyatt Regency Resort. \nThis event is a little different than our typical structure. On top of our usual week of awesome activities\, families will be taking advantage of the Hyatt Regency Resort facilities while we explore Yogyakarta together. Your family may either stay at the Hyatt or purchase day passes to utilize the facilities during the pop-up week! More info in the Lodging Section below. \nThe Worldschool Pop-Up Hub provides super casual opportunities to gather\, connect with other worldschoolers\, learn about the local area\, instill new friendships\, share your insights\, and immerse in a friendly\, accepting mobile community. Our activities highlight local nature\, history\, food\, and culture… but you’ll also have plenty of time to relax\, get to know each other\, and even stray from the itinerary to add activities that cater to the group’s interests. \nPop in for a few days or the full week. Join as many activities as you’d like. It’s up to you! \nOur itinerary will include activities such as the following: \n*Borobudor Temple\, dating from the 9th century this site is renowned as the largest Buddhist temple in the world\n*Prambanam Temple\, an expansive 9th-century Hindu temple complex featuring structures with stone spires & sculptures\n*Central Museum of the Air Force Dirgantara Mandala\n*Java History and Culture Museum\n*Kranggan Traditional Market for local food and traditional goods\n*Marliboro Street wandering and shopping\n*Hazmah Batik Shop\n*Shokudou Japan Night Food Market\n*Museum Sonobudoyo\n*Joja Museum \nAdd-ons include batik making classes and a Javanese cooking class. \nCOST per FAMILY: \nUS$100 Early Bird Rate\, expires November 1\, 2023 \nUS$140 Regular Rates (a $25 discount is available for families in need\, use code 25 at checkout) \n  \nMEET YOUR HOST: \nHi\, I’m Bevin. We have been wandering the world since the kids were babies\, and Alexander (13) and Cassia (10) love traveling as much as their mama. We learn as we wander and are always interested in unique & authentic cultural experiences. We have traveled to more than 75 countries since the kids were born\, and we are always excited about finding new places we love\, as well as returning to favorites. \nI’ll be honest here — we aren’t so into roughing it\, and we all enjoy a fun swimming pool and delicious breakfast buffet! We went to Yogyakarta in winter of 2023 and absolutely loved this hotel and surrounding area. The kids have been begging to go back ever since\, so we thought — why not bring along friends?!? \n  \nSTRUCTURE for the WEEK: \nEach day we will plan a half-day outing\, departing the resort at about 9:30-10:00am. We’ll return to the resort around 2:00-3:00pm each day to allow plenty of time to enjoy the facilities during the steamy afternoons. Some daily outings may be shorter\, the visit to Borobudor Temple will be longer. \n  \nLODGING & NEIGHBORHOODS: \nThe majority of the activities will be held in Northern Yogyakarta. The host family will be staying at the Hyatt Regency Resort which will be a centralized location for our activities. \nThe Hyatt Regency Resort property is spectacular with landscaped gardens\, pavilions\, terraced goldfish ponds\, and the most fabulous pools! The series of pools has a large temple in the center with a big (adult-friendly!) waterslide. There is a jungle pool under the trees\, complete with a Tarzan swing off the “cliff”\, and there is an activity area with a balance battle station and water basketball. You’ll also find some resident guinea pigs to feed\, Indonesian games\, and older children can rent electric scooters to explore the grounds. You can see a complete list of resort activities here. \nOur family went to the hotel in February of 2023 and absolutely loved every minute. It is one of the places my kids have asked to return. If you have been to Bali\, you’ll find Yogyakarta completely different. It’s still that gorgeous green of Bali\, but a lot more authentic\, and lot less (foreign) touristed. It’s a fantastic value! \nAs world travelers who frequent resorts\, we think this is one of the most wonderful and best value resorts we have been to around the world. The breakfast is out of this world! With endless local dishes\, make your own noodle soup buffet station\, all the sweet things\, fresh juices and fruits\, and wonderful salads. It’s a dream\, and you won’t want to miss it. \nGood to know: There are rooms at this hotel that come with Club Lounge Access\, which includes breakfast and also an evening two-hour service with unlimited alcoholic beverages and “snacks”\, which we find are enough for a light dinner for our family. It’s a relaxed but somewhat formal environment\, you’ll want to wear something a little nicer than pool clothes and flip-flops. \nHyatt Regency Resort Rooms: The rooms in the hotel are clean\, air-conditioned\, have a private bathroom\, and have 2 twins or 1 king bed\, plus a simple chair and desk. The hotel can arrange for an additional rollaway bed for a charge and can accommodate families in adjoining rooms as well. \nRoom Configuration and Number of People Accommodated: \n\nBase Room =  2 adults (ages 12+) plus 1 child under the age of 12 — OR  — 1 adult with 2 children (under 12)\nBase Room + Rollaway Bed = 3 adults (ages 12+) — OR — 2 adults (ages 12+) with 2 children (under 12)\nEither room can add the breakfast and happy hour food service by selecting the «Club Lounge Access» option\nNote: The hotel is firm on ages\, all guests 12 years and older are considered adults. If you have a 4-person family and all members are 12 and older\, you will need two rooms. Adjoining rooms are available.\nIf we have enough interested participants\, and our group requires 10+ rooms\, we will do what we can to receive group rates.\nHyatt Points: This is one of the best deals around for those with Hyatt Points! One week at the Resort equates to a single night of regular Hyatt accommodation.\n\nRestaurants: There are many restaurants nearby\, and eating out is extremely inexpensive (especially outside of the resort). We enjoyed a few vegan Javanese cafes when we were there\, which were wonderful\, and about US$2 or so per person. \nWe recommend staying at the resort if possible or an area in the north of the city. For those staying off-site\, a day pass is available for the days your family wishes to join in the resort activities. At time of publication\, passes cost ~US$7/day for a child (ages 0 -11)\, and ~US$14/day for adults (ages 12+). \nAll questions you have about the resort can be directed to Bevin\, you’ll find her in the Facebook group listed below. \n  \nADDITIONAL INFORMATION: \nJoin the private Facebook group to ask questions\, stay up to date on activities in the area\, meet the host\, and interact with other potential attendees: \nhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/yogyakartapopup2024 \nBrowse our Frequently Asked Questions to learn more about how our pop-ups work: \nhttps://www.worldschoolpopuphub.com/faqs

SUMMARY:Osaka\, Japan
DESCRIPTION:Explore Osaka\, Japan during cherry blossom season! We have a fun-filled and community-centered worldschool gathering March 30 – April 5\, 2024. \nOur pop-ups provide a super casual\, budget-friendly opportunity to gather\, connect with other worldschoolers\, learn about the local area\, instill new friendships\, share your insights\, and immerse in a friendly\, accepting mobile community. \nWe’ve cherry-picked the best low- or no-cost activities that highlight local nature\, arts\, history\, food\, and culture… but you’ll also have plenty of time to relax\, get to know each other\, and even stray from the itinerary to add activities that cater to the group’s interests (we provide supplemental ideas to tailor your experience). \nPop in for a few days or the full week. Join as many activities as you’d like. It’s up to you! We would love to have you come and simply hang out with like-minded families while we dive in and explore the local offerings. \nOur itinerary will include activities such as the following: \n*Osaka Walking Tour \n*Osaka Castle \n*Tennoji Park & Zoo \n*Ooedo Minoh traditional onsen baths and waterfall hike \n*Todaiji Daibutsuden historic Buddhist temple \n*Tsutenkaku Tower observation deck \n*Street food & markets \n*Tempozan’s 112 meter tall Ferris wheel \n*Big Bang Sakai Children’s Museum and 53m Jungle Gym \n*Osaka Science Museum \nAdd on options include Bampaku Beast amusement park\, World Fair Park\, Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan\, Lego Land\, or a day trip to Hiroshima or Kyoto! \nCOST per Family \nUS$100 Early Bird Rate\, expires January 15\, 2024 \nUS$140 Regular Rates (a $25 discount is available for families in need\, use code OSAKA25 at checkout) \nMEET YOUR HOST: \nI’m Tara\, and I’m traveling with my family of four with two kids (son will be 13 and daughter is 11).  My husband and I early retired in 2021\, and we moved from Houston to Spain where we’ve spent the last two years until the end of June 2023. \nMy husband worked in accounting while I was an art educator for the previous 11 years (experience from PreK age through to Seniors in HS). Prior to the classroom\, I worked in museum education and advertising. My passions\, interests\, and experience made the leap to worldschooling right up my alley! One of my favorite places in the world (so far) is NYC. I may be biased since I spent most of my 20s in NYC. I love big cities\, but I also love getting out of my comfort zone and experiencing new things (including smaller places like Granada). \nAfter two years of full immersion in Granada\, Spain\, we are now full-time nomadic travelers / worldschoolers. We currently plan to slow travel for two years and then apply for Spanish visas again (which would put our oldest at ESO 3 age or US High School age). But who knows how our plans may evolve as we travel full-time? \nWe are spending March and April in Japan (with 6 weeks in Osaka).  We chose Osaka because of Cherry Blossom Season\, endless attractions and activities\, and it also offers easy access to Kyoto.  One of my favorite things to do is guide my family through unique adventures and opportunities (and big cities are my jam)… I would love to share this with other families.  We hosted our first Worldschool Pop-Up in Budapest in November 2023\, and we had a blast.  We hope to meet you in Osaka at the end of March / early April 2024. \nLODGING & NEIGHBORHOODS: \nOsaka is a large but safe city. If you use your common sense there are no truly dangerous areas to avoid. However\, our activities are grouped by areas accessible via public transport. \nOur host recommends the following three neighborhoods serviced by the Midosuji subway line: \n(1) Kita Ward (North 北): Around Osaka and Umeda stations. \n(2) Minami (South 南): Around Namba Station. \n(3) Tennoji/Abeno: Around Tennoji and Abeno stations. These are centralized neighborhoods with good transportation access. \nThe host has a rental near Yodogawa Ward. \nTRANSPORT CONSIDERATIONS: \nTransport info here: https://www.osaka.com/info/osaka-metro/ \nADDITIONAL INFORMATION: \nJoin the private Facebook group to ask questions\, stay up to date on activities in the area\, meet the host\, and interact with other potential attendees: \nhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/osakapopup2024

Our family is also really excited to get out and do way more travelling now that the world has opened up again. \nLODGING & NEIGHBORHOODS: \nSiem Reap is a small town near Angkor Wat. Everything is quite accessible from town and the town is generally safe for families (as always please read reviews and exercise common sense). \nYour hosts live in Wat Svay\, Siem Reap\, which is along the river 2 km south of the town center. They run a smalll B&B with 6 private bungalows (including kitchen) and also recommend another family-run hotel 250 meters away with a pool the group can use! For those interested in staying near the host family\, you’ll find links to these accommodation options in the Facebook group mentioned below. \nTRANSPORT CONSIDERATIONS: \nGetting into town is very easy: walking along the river\, using ride apps or tuktuk drivers for as little as $1/trip\, or by hired bicycle.
