John Higham's fascinating trip around the world with his wife and young children inspired not just this beautifully written travelogue, diving and dancing and dizzying with adventure - from nipple-nibbling fish in Thailand to getting stranded in Tanzania - it also launched an insightful journey into how travel can transform us, heal us, soothe us, and deeply bless us with JOY of the richest kind: Joy that opens our eyes and our souls; joy that teaches us to hold hands across the horizons.

Family Travel: The Farther You Go, the Closer You Get

John Higham's book about his year around the world with his wife September and their two kids, Katrina and Jordan, is funny, surprising, honest, and inspiring. Their spunk and humor as they cope with everything from a broken leg in Switzerland to a broken-down truck in the middle of the Bolivian salt flats are amazing to behold. But what I really love about the Higham family is how normal they are. They prove that average people can have outsize adventures if they dream big, plan carefully, and have faith that even if nothing goes according to plan, everything will (eventually) turn out OK. These are great lessons for traveling and for life.
