Imagine a twelve-month around-the-world adventure with your family—trekking from Asia to Europe to Central America with your husband and three kids. Or a two-year family odyssey spanning six continents, backpacking the world at large. Or a thirteen-month RV adventure with your family across the entire continental US, toting four bikes, three kayaks, and a pogo stick.

Written by Julie Frieder, Angela Heisten, and Annika Paradise—three friends who connected over a love of books and built their partnership over a shared passion for travel—Wonder Year is part guidebook, part memoir, and part inspirational how-to.

Demystifying the seemingly outrageous prospect of embarking on a long-term family trip while using the world as a classroom for your kids—a trailblazing educational approach known as worldschooling—the authors offer practical information and invaluable advice on transforming your dream into a well-planned reality for your family, including:

 Guidance on money, safety, planning, and personal care on the road
 Resources and tools to harness educational offerings and world-wide opportunities
 Planning checklists and a curated list of resources for the road
 Suggestions on where to travel, and tips on how to safely and realistically get there
 Information on how to save and even earn money while traveling
 Advice on how to tap into a global community of worldschoolers and family adventurers
