Download One Year Off: Leaving It All Behind for a Round-the-World Journey with Our Children AudioBook Free
Have you ever before wanted to have a year off from your daily life? A meandering, serendipitous trip across the world with your loved ones? It looks impossible. But one day, David Elliot Cohen, co-creator of the best-selling Day in the Life and America 24/7 publication series, decided to make this wish a reality. Over the course of half a year, he and his partner sold their house, cars, and most of their property. He sealed his business and taken their three young children out of institution. With only a suitcase, a backpack, and a passport per person, the Cohen family set off on the rollicking round-the-world trip filled with laugh-out-loud mishaps, heart-pounding adventures, and unexpected epiphanies. In Botswana, the Cohens's small motorboat is charged by way of a hippo. In Zimbabwe, lions ambush a buffalo beyond your family's tent. In Australia, their young girl is caught in a riptide and nearly taken out to sea. In One Year Off, you can sign up for the family on the trek up a Costa Rican volcano, sail the canals of Burgundy by houseboat, and ride ferries through the Greek Islands. Later, as the Cohens wander further off of the tourist trail, you can drive through the villages of Rajasthan, traverse the vast Australian Nullarbor, and discover the charms of Cambodia's Angkor Wat and the hidden shangri-las of north Laos. Over the course of these adventures, the Cohens figure out how to live as a family group twenty-four hours every day, seven days a week and revel in a once-in-a-lifetime possibility to spend time jointly without the distractions of modern life. The author rediscovers the planet through his children's sight and gains new point of view of his own life. This humorous, heartfelt story is another most sensible thing to taking the trip yourself.
