One Year Off: Leaving It All Behind for a Round-The-World Journey with Our Children (Travelers' Tales Footsteps)by David Elliot Cohen and Devyani Kamdar
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A year off from work. A meandering, serendipitous journey around the globe with the people you love most. No mortgage, no car payments, no pressure. Though it sounds like an impossible dream for most people, one day David Cohen and his family decide to make it a reality. With his wife and three children, Cohen sets off on a rollicking journey, full of laugh-out-loud mishaps, heart-pounding adventures, and unforeseen epiphanies. Readers join the Cohen family and trek up a Costa Rican volcano, roam the Burgundy canals by houseboat, traverse the vast Australian desert, and discover Istanbul by night. Through it all, the family gets the rare opportunity to get to know each other without the mundane distractions of television and video games, discovering the world through new eyes and gaining fresh perspective on life and priorities. Review:"Although this year-long vacation included some harrowing moments, such as when daughter Kara nearly drowned off the coast of Queensland, the author considers the rewards of this unconventional trip for himself and his family well worth any risks or inconveniences they encountered." Publishers Weekly Review:"Cohen proves to be a very capable writer, filling his narrative with interesting and amusing accounts....[The book] offers a great deal of practical information for anyone contemplating an extended trip with children." Christian Science Monitor Review:"Anecdotes and advice aplenty for families bent on adventure travel." Kirkus Reviews Synopsis:A year in the life of a family who unloaded the real world and took off for Costa Rica, Australia and Europe. An inspiring story of one family's journey of a lifetime.
