"Charlie Wheelan and his family do what others dream of: they take a year off to travel the world. This is their story. What would happen if you quit your life for a year? In a pre-COVID-19 world, the Wheelan family decided to find out; leaving behind work, school, and even the family dogs to travel the world on a modest budget. Equal parts "how-to" and "how-not-to"-and with an eye toward a world emerging from a pandemic-We Came, We Saw, We Left is the insightful and often hilarious account of one family's gap-year experiment. Wheelan paints a picture of adventure and connectivity, juggling themes of local politics, global economics, and family dynamics while exploring answers to questions like: How do you sneak out of a Peruvian town that has been barricaded by the local army? And where can you get treatment for a flesh-eating bacteria your daughter picked up two continents ago? From Colombia to Cambodia, We Came, We Saw, We Left chronicles nine months across six continents with three teenagers. What could go wrong?"-- Provided by publisher.

Makes World Travel Seem Easy submitted by kirterry on August 27, 2021, 1:41pm For the most part, everything works out well for this family as they make their way around the globe. If you're looking for a pleasant travelogue with some humor, this is for you.

travel with teenagers submitted by hiker15 on May 9, 2022, 10:55am If you want to read a book about traveling with teenagers, this book is for you. I now know more about the author's 3 kids than I do about him and his wife or the countries they visited.
