Do you ever feel like life is so busy that you’re missing out on actually living it?

Perhaps you traveled when you were younger, but now life feels stagnant—tied to a desk job with endless responsibilities keeping you from following your dreams.

Charles Achampong and his spouse felt the same way. What started as a dream of showing their children the world one step at a time evolved into a life-changing, around-the-world journey.

Adventure with deeper meaning

This memoir is an inspiring account of a family’s bold decision to leave routine behind and explore the world together, using travel as a catalyst for growth and deeper connection. What touched me most was how they didn’t treat travel as mere vacation, but as an experiment in slowing life down and letting transformation take root. Listening to it made me realize how many of our priorities are shaped by convenience and fear, not true longing. Personally, it stirred in me a longing to make space! for adventure, for pause, for family memories that matter more than schedules..

A Fun Family Adventure Without Leaving Home!

This was such a delightful listen! It gave me tons of creative ideas for spending meaningful time with my family while learning about different countries and cultures. Each “family day” idea felt easy to try, and the stories made it feel like we were traveling the world together. It’s wholesome, engaging, and full of inspiration for families who want to bond and learn at the same time. Loved every bit of it!

Ready to change my bucket list

I love to travel and was intrigued by this book. The author does a great job showing not telling how a family leaves everything behind to see the world. As I listened, I could feel what the family felt during each countries encounter. I now have a whole new bucket list because of the insights on how each country made them feel. It goes way beyond go here and stay here. The narrator does a great job as well.
