This is a woman who dares to go where no mom has gone before...a round-the-world, year-long trip with her husband and three young children. China. Thailand. Sri Lanka. Africa. Italy. France. Germany. Amazingly, their biggest trouble was probably losing a treasured blankey in Africa, and it was returned. They visited with friends, saw the world, and reflected on the meaning of home, and Oxenreider was able to return to Texas and create a new home spot for herself and her family.
I enjoyed hearing the family adventure while traveling and I could relate to some. I agree that the best time to travel would be while the kids are in elementary school and I could appreciate the impact that being an introvert had on the writer and her journey. Not sure I am motivated to read another of this author's books, but this was an enjoyable taste of travel through her writing.
