Our Roadschooling Story

We are the Sobrino Family, and we have a passion for exploring the wonders of the world. We love to connect with other families who share our curiosity for nature and culture. We created Miles4theMinds, a Florida nonprofit organization that builds a safe and supportive community of nontraditional learners and families who grow together.

Through our eco adventures, we empower our participants to learn about global warming, witness its effects in high impact areas, and find out how we can be part of the solution. We make our eco adventures accessible to everyone by charging only $1 per mile, so you can enjoy a 3-day adventure without breaking the bank. We invite you to join our mission of collecting miles and creating memories of discovery and fun.

Our Future Vision

To bring Florida's homeschool families together, and team-build through community travel. The future vision of Miles4theMinds is to revolutionize education by making it more immersive, interactive, and impactful.

By focusing on these areas, Miles4theMinds aims to create a future where education is not just about acquiring knowledge, but about applying it in meaningful ways to make the world a better place.
