At Home in the World

Reflections on Belonging While Wandering the Globe

By: Tsh Oxenreider

Narrated by: Tsh Oxenreider

As Tsh Oxenreider, author of Notes from a Blue Bike, chronicles her family's adventure around the world. Seeing, smelling, and tasting the widely varying cultures along the way, she discovers what it truly means to be at home.

In her late 30s, and as a mom to three kids under age 10, Tsh Oxenreider and her husband decided to spend a rather ordinary nine months in an extraordinary way: traveling the corners of the earth to see, together, the places they've always wanted to explore. This book chronicles their global journey from China to Thailand to Australia, Sri Lanka, Uganda, France, Croatia, and beyond, as they fill their days with train schedules, world-schooling the kids, and working from anywhere. Told with wit and candor, Oxenreider invites us on a worldwide adventure without the cost of a ticket; to discover people, places, and stories worth knowing about; to find peace in the places we call home; and to learn that, as the Thai say, in the end we are all "same same but different".

I want to do this book in my real life!

So fun to
Listen to this book! It was so good I'm going to listen again now!

A really fun listen!

This one was really fun to listen to in the car on a road trip. I really enjoyed listening to the stories of the places she visited with her family. It did leave me wanting a bit more though and I wish they had traveled to South America!

A great adventure

Loved this it was so very descriptive almost poetic and you felt like you were along with them for their travels. Highly recommend this book. A great escape from the every day grind of life ❤️

Wanderlust Mamas rejoice

This book spoke to my soul. Ever since I became a mother I have experienced the weight of the tension between home and adventure in my heart. Tsh so beautifully validates this tension and gives me hope that the two really can live in harmony.

A must read

Thank you for sharing your adventures from around the world! It was encouraging to me as a momma, that I don’t have to pine for retirement to travel or leave kids behind to travel, we can go together. Your book is one of my favorites.

Great story

I loved being able to travel with this family. Beautifully written but did not enjoy the author's recording.

Wanderlust

Perfect book for those with wanderlust! Well written, easy to follow, makes you to want to see the world.

Travel writing at it's best!

This is the kind of travel writing that has you grabbing for your passport and and a cup of tea at the same time. I found Tsh though her podcast "The Simple Show." I have binged many of her podcast episodes and finally thought I need to see (or hear) her writing if I love the podcast this much. This book did not disappoint. I would recommend it many times over. Especially if you are a homebody who loves to travel.

Fantastic book!

This book was a fantastic collection of stories and lessons. It made my morning commutes so enjoyable. I laughed, I choked up, and I genuinely enjoying joining Tsh and her family on their adventures around the world! I highly recommend this book!

Loved it! Now I want to travel the world.

Thank you for such a beautiful story of a family traveling the world. Beautiful descriptions of food, cultures, and family. Me heart is full with wanderlust!
