38. Chris Ronan and Geocaching

In today’s episode, we get to spend time with Chris Ronan from Seattle, Washington. Chris is not a homeschool parent or connected to homeschool really at all, except that he works for a company that facilitates an outdoor experience that many homeschool families enjoy: Geocaching. Chris is the senior public relations manager of Geocaching, and he also spends a lot of time training Geocaching volunteers. Over a decade ago, Chris and his wife became interested in Geocaching on a trip to visit his sister. They fell in love with it and Chris found himself, like Charlie Bucket who was fortunate to visit Wonka's chocolate factory, eventually working for Geocaching. The company started in the year 2000 after a man from Oregon hid a container and challenged people online to find it. Four months later, Geocaching was official, and today there are more than 3.3 million geocaches in more than 190 countries throughout the world. Homeschool families tend to love time in nature and going on field trips, and Geocaching provides an ideal activity for both. In this conversation, listeners will learn more about Geocaching, and they might feel more inclined to give Geocaching a try.Connect with Chris Ronanhttps://www.geocaching.com/playProactive Homeschool Dad (PHD) CoursePHD CourseThis Golden Hour
