I’m David Keys, the founder of Worldschooly and a 20-year veteran in the tech industry with a passion for designing customer service systems and strategic solutions. I started Worldschooly to bridge the gap between families looking for worldschooling opportunities and the incredible hosts offering transformative learning experiences around the globe.

Beyond the tech world, my wife Sarah and I have been slow traveling since 2011, raising our three wonderfully creative kids along the way. Our journey has taken us from Luxembourg, where our first son was born, to the colorful streets of Mexico for our second, and then back to the U.S. for our daughter’s birth. We’ve lived long-term in places like South Africa, Thailand, Hungary, Croatia, Colombia, and Guatemala, immersing ourselves in the cultures and communities that make each location unique.

Our children have experienced a blend of homeschooling, public education, worldschooling hubs, and now unschooling with a bit of homeschooling and worldschooling sprinkled in between. Currently, we’re based in Antigua, Guatemala, with plans to relocate to Cholula, Mexico, where we’ll establish a home base. We’re excited to continue our journey in a place where we hold permanent residency, balancing our love for travel with the stability of a home for our family.

For me, it’s all about finding the adventure in every learning experience—whether it’s exploring Cape Town’s rich music scene, enjoying the vibrant cultures of Central America, or simply watching my kids grow in an environment that fosters curiosity and creativity.
