My 9-year-old returned to art on a Moroccan roadside. He watched a brass artist for days until he started mimicking the craft with florist twine and pliers. We asked the artist to mentor him. Two hours of silent, focused creation. Van life isn’t just van life; it gave Arlo the space to become an apprentice. Does anyone else find their children embody what they learn more in 'wild' spaces than in classrooms? *Oussman Handmade
