Leaving It All Behind is a true travel tale told in real time during one family's voyage around the world. It is distinctly not just a recitation of foreign people and places but speaks intimately about a diversity of experiences and ultimately about how much more there is to life than a fancy job title and big paycheck. From time spent as barge captains in France and organic farmers in Italy to days and nights in South African and Nepalese orphanages, and from remote beaches in Croatia and India to the Mekong River and caves of rural northern Thailand, Leaving It All Behind really chronicles a kindred journey from a conventional lifestyle to something more balanced and harmonious, maybe, something more fulfilling. Perhaps, even, to something more real.

Why I Like Paris
Before I started second grade, I traveled to Paris with my family for a summer vacation. This was the first time I went outside of the country. I had a great time there and I took some pictures and wrote down some information so that I could share it with you about going to Paris when you are a kid.
In Paris I got to see some really cool things that we do not have at home like:
The Eiffel Tower
The Louvre
The Arc De Triomphe
The big department stores
The French restaurants (there are some in the Eiffel Tower)
The parks (with playgrounds)
I think Paris is a great place to visit with your family.

Vacationing in places like Myrtle Beach and Miami Beach can be exciting, but when you consider the costs of lodging and food in such high-profile areas, it isn't usually affordable to budget travelers. Consider searching for lesser-known beaches. Are the Outer Banks too expensive? Take a look at southern North Carolina beaches instead. Because they're less crowded, they offer much lower prices. You should always buy your gear before you go. Ever hear of supply and demand? Beach towns often charge above average prices on towels, swimsuits, sunscreen, and other essentials. Your car might be a little crowded, but bringing beach gear is more cost-effective than buying it when you reach your destination. Fred Stone's book Best Family Vacations on a Budget will make you the ultimate frugal traveler. Grab a copy now
