Summary

It's a life-changing trip. Take it! John Ahern had a high-flying job, big house, loving wife and two great kids. But if this was success, why did he sense he was failing as a husband and father? So John did something insane. He quit the corporate world and bought a busted-up camper-van online to chase an improbable dream: a year travelling together as a family...on the road with kids.

From the North Pole to Africa's highest peaks, John and his family get mugged by monkeys, charmed by snake handlers, and challenged by life without phone and email. Along the way John creates a life less ordinary and evolves into a connected partner and Dad. On the Road with Kids is a funny, messy and inspiring adventure all families will love.

But my wife refuses to. So i may need to divorce after reading this book. What a weird review! But its the feeling you get from this amazingly well written story about family, life, and experience. We will probably just visit Croatia instead of divorce however. I am from Norway and i must admit i laughed at the puny Australians terrified of hospitals and the wild countryside here. Im very glad things changed over the 12 months and i was pleased to be invited along the way through the book. Thank you for writing this.

I want to quit my job and sell my house
