Homeschooling is basically being taught at home. Although I don’t have a house at the moment while I am travelling, I am doing homeschooling. That is doing schoolwork with my mom and dad. My sister Ilona and I are being homeschooled because we are travelling and we are not in the one place to go to school.
My teachers are my mum and dad, and they will be while I am travelling. They are doing it to help me learn. I have been doing a lot of maths and social studies. I 
learned about communities and helping out in communities. Then I saw the Australian coastguard when we were on a boat on the river, and I had learned about what they do already.
It is different learning about a country when you are in the county itself, and you can do something traditional.
Writing this blog about homeschooling is part of my homeschooling. I had to find out more information on the internet. I found that in July 2011 there were 6,517 people homeschooled in New Zealand. If you are homeschooled, you still have to do exams when you are in High School. They have to attend an exam centre.
In Australia, some kids lived so far away from schools that they were homeschooled, but also used the radio to talk to their teachers and classmates! Now they can use the internet, like I am doing.
