Amongst her family’s many varied interests are rock climbing\, music\, art\, gardens\, flea markets\, natural history\, and stand-up comedy. Her family has been to the Merida Pop-Up & both the Guanajuato Pop-Ups in 2022\, plus Penang\, Normandy\, and Seoul Pop-Ups in 2023! \nRachel & family sold everything in 2014 and never have looked back. They’ve been completely nomadic since 2018\, homeschooling their three children while they travel the globe. Some of their favorite family travel destinations include Turkey\, Romania\, New Zealand\, Spain\, and London. Two of their three teens will join the Kuala Lumpur Pop-Up and will be 14 and 16 years old at the time. This will be their first trip to Malaysia and they’re super excited to reunite with See Ming & family (our 6th pop-up together!). \n  \nLODGING & NEIGHBORHOODS: \nMany of our activities will take place in Kuala Lumpur City Centre / Chinatown areas\, most will be between Perdana Botanical Gardens in the west and Petronas Towers in the east. There are a few options for convenient areas for accommodation: \n\nBukit Bintang is a popular\, central area to stay. Lots of restaurants\, shops\, malls\, nightlife\, and food stalls. Evenings and weekends can be busy & noisy.\nKuala Lumpur City Center\, or KLCC for short\, is next to Bukit Bintang\, where you find the famous and spectacular Petronas Towers\, the world’s tallest twin towers.\nKL Sentral area is convenient to stay in as it is home to KL Sentral Train Station and the city’s many forms of transportation including the MRT lines\, LRT trains\, monorail\, and the airport Klia Express train. You can easily access any part of the city or surrounding area.\nChinatown & Merdeka Square is the home to many renovations. Broad streets\, walking areas\, and murals make this an inviting area. Many of the formerly\, worn-down shophouses have been renovated into beautiful\, trendy cafes\, bakeries\, restaurants\, bars\, bookstores\, art galleries\, and coffee shops. NOTE: There are some not-so-nice hostels in this area aimed at budget backpackers\, read reviews if you stay at a low budget option.\nBangsar South has recently become a center for trendy restaurants\, cafes and shops. The two LRT rail stations (Universiti & Kenrinchi) make this a great base. The trip to KL Sentral station takes roughly 10 minutes. NOTE: This is a bit further out of the main area and there are not any sights nearby. You’ll need to train\, taxi\, or Grab to the city center.\n\nOne co-host family will be staying in the Robertson Building in the KLCC area (there are additional rental units available in this complex)\, the other host in Desa Park City. \n  \nTRANSPORT CONSIDERATIONS: \nKuala Lumpur has MRT lines\, LRT lines\, a monorail\, taxis\, and Grab (the Asian version of Uber). \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/kualalumpurpopup2024/ \nBrowse our Frequently Asked Questions to learn more about how our pop-ups work: \nhttps://www.worldschoolpopuphub.com/faqs

SUMMARY:Penang\, Malaysia
DESCRIPTION:Come join us in Penang\, Malaysia for a fun-filled and community-centered worldschooling gathering January 28 – February 3\, 2024. Chinese New Year is celebrated on Feb 10\, 2024\, and we hope to catch the beginnings of this festive season in Penang. \nThe Worldschool Pop-Up Hub provides super casual\, budget-friendly 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*Georgetown UNESCO World Heritage Zone + it’s iconic murals\n*Clan Jetties\n*Entopia Butterfly Farm\n*Penang Hill\n*Taman Bandaraya Youth Park\n*Eat at a Hawker Centre\n*Kek Lok Si Temple\n*New World Park\n*Hin Market\n*Balik Pulau – Saanen Dairy Goat Farm\n*Sunset at Pantai Malindo\n*Beach Day\n*Friendship Park «I Love Penang» Sign Photo-Op \nAdd-ons include the Snake Temple\, Floating Mosque\, Penang National Park\, and The Habitat on Penang Hill. \n  \nCOST per Family \nUS$100 Early Bird Rate\, expires October 15\, 2023 \nUS$140 Regular Rates (a $25 discount is available for families in need\, use code PENANG25 at checkout) \nMEET YOUR HOST: \nRachel & family sold everything in 2014 and never have looked back. They’ve been completely nomadic since 2018\, homeschooling their three children. Some of their favorite family travel destinations include Turkey\, Romania\, New Zealand\, Spain\, and London. Their two younger kids will join the Penang Pop-Up and will be 14 and 16 years old. \nLODGING & NEIGHBORHOODS: \nGeorgetown & Tanjung Tokong will be the most centralized locations for our activities\, however there are many neighborhoods to choose from. Here are a few to consider: \n\nGeorgetown – The historic center and capital of the island… and is the UNESCO World Heritage Zone. Housing will typically be in old\, unique shop houses although many units are renovated and modern on the inside.\nTanjung Tokong and Straits Quay – North of Georgetown\, a much more modern-looking area with many skyscrapers. The host family will be staying here.\nBatu Ferringhi – The popular beaches area and expat haven (although expats will be found in all these neighborhoods)\n*Note\, if you choose to stay longer to experience Lunar New Year\, traffic everywhere will be quite bad for the holidays\, but perhaps most especially along this entire northern stretch of the island\, from Georgetown to Batu Ferringhi.\nAir Itam – A decidedly more local neighborhood\, despite being home to many tourist attractions in Penang Hill and the Kek Lok Si Temple.\n\n  \nTRANSPORT CONSIDERATIONS: \nGrab will almost always be the best option\, so be sure to download the app (basically Southeast Asia’s version of Uber). Unfortunately\, traffic will likely be awful for the entire week. This is the downside to being in a popular destination during the biggest holiday of the year. However\, we will plan a logistically efficient itinerary\, grouping activities by proximity. \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/penangpopup2024 \nBrowse our Frequently Asked Questions to learn more about how our pop-ups work: \nhttps://www.worldschoolpopuphub.com/faqs
