In World Travel, a life of experience is collected into an entertaining, practical, fun and frank travel guide that gives listeners an introduction to some of his favorite places - in his own words.

John Marshall had read about the growth of voluntourism, and frankly, it was the only kind of extended trip he could afford. He'd heard that some peoples' lives were changed by a week of overseas service - what might half a year accomplish for his family?

Wide-Open World is the totally engaging, bluntly honest story of the Marshall family's life-changing adventure.

Prepare to be transported seven hundred years into the future. The 'world' you knew as Earth has long been forgotten - a victim of its own overpopulation and moral decay. You, and your predecessors, have only known the confines of this ship - The Cicala. Generations have lived and died aboard this ship. It has served its purpose well. It carries a precious cargo.

In 1967, a retired army major and self-made millionaire named Paddy Roy Bates cemented his family’s place in history when he inaugurated himself ruler of the Principality of Sealand, a tiny dominion of the high seas.

Incorporating original interviews with surviving Sealand royals, Dylan Taylor-Lehman recounts the battles and schemes as Roy and his crew engaged with diplomats and even thwarted an attempted coup.

At sunrise each morning, I peeled my eyes open the second I heard the call to prayer resound through the air. At 7:00 A.M., I walked out to a rare quiet Cairo street and waited for the van to pick me up. Climbing onto the van, I found a seat alongside other Muslim and foreign teachers, where I was one of only a few not wearing hijab. It was Sunday morning and another Islamic week of disciplining rich, apathetic students, was about to begin. Traveling across the globe to work in an international school in Cairo, Egypt, was not exactly the glamorous lifestyle I thought it would be. I ...

The UK and Germany were so much fun. I loved meeting Livy and Mary so much. Seeing Dimitri and Ian again was fun as well. The next month is going to be so busy, but it's also going to be amazing in so many ways. My most favorite is my brother getting married. Cam and Jenny are so perfect together. I can't wait to officiate their wedding. I'm so excited to find out what Darcy and David are having. For Patricia's sake, I'm really hoping it's a girl. But for Samantha's sake, I'm really hoping it's a boy. I loved having an older boy cousin, and I want the same for my daughter. Either way, we're...

It was literally insane. I was 24 years old and I felt like I was rich. I could go anywhere at any time, and had no one to answer to. At a moment's notice, I could book a trip to Brazil, Spain or France. What's more... I'd make money while I was traveling. The catch was, I wasn't rich. Don't get me wrong, I was making good money. I was living in New York City. I could afford to party, eat out and even save money. But my time wasn't tied to my money. I was making money in my sleep and not even trying. Sounds like the story behind some kind of scam, right? I thought so too.

I'm finally going to Madagascar, and I'm so very excited about it. This has been a dream since I was very small. A dream I didn't think was possible for the longest time. But it is, and I was about to make it happen. This is going to be so incredible, I just know it. The only problem, we're getting a new member in our group. I'm worried, how will it affect the group dynamic? I hate that we'll have to split up during meals now, but I can't let anyone get hurt. This is the best way to ensure that doesn't happen, so it's what we're going to do. It'll be fine, right? I'm sure it will. But ...

We have so much happening. First up is our trip to Sweden. I'm not sure about this trip. The biggest issue is that Abby and Jordan will be missing. I hate that they have to stop traveling with us so much. But I understand, it was necessary. We all have an end date for the trips, and some of us have to stop before the rest of us do. Change is inevitable. The other big change this trip will be Tish joining us. I really hope that goes well. Getting a new member is always stressful. Will they be a mega fan? Will they be trustworthy? Or will they drive me up the wall? Anything is possible, and I...

We're so busy, there's always something going on. We have a wedding coming up, and I couldn't be happier for Abby and Jordan. They're just so perfect for each other, and absolutely as cute as can be together. I'm also very curious about Jordan's family. They have to be pretty great for Jordan to be the great person that he is. I'm so excited to meet them at the wedding, it's going to be a fun adventure. We have Mother's Day right after the wedding, which is very bittersweet for me. Man, I seriously miss my mom. But I have Patricia now, and I'm excited to celebrate her. She's an amazing mom,...

A letter from my mom, I was so overwhelmed by this new discovery. And I have so many more memories that I lost than I even realized. It breaks my heart to realize that. I really hope that Cameron and Rebecca can help me remember them. Then there's my fear of going back to Bakersfield. I really need to defeat that. It terrifies me, but I know it's something I need to get past. But first I need to read that letter from Mom. What could she have wanted me to know if she were killed with my father? I'm afraid to find out, if I'm honest. What if I didn't live up to her desires for my life? What ...
