Have you ever wanted to take a year off from your life? A
meandering, serendipitous journey around the world with your
family? It sounds impossible. But one day, David Elliot Cohen,
co-creator of the bestselling Day in the Life and America 24/7 book
series, decided to make this dream a reality. Over the course of
six months, he and his wife sold their house, cars, and most of
their possessions. He closed his business and pulled their three
young children out of school. With only a suitcase, a backpack, and
a passport per person, the Cohen family set off on a rollicking
round-the-world journey filled with laugh-out-loud mishaps,
heart-pounding adventures, and unforeseen epiphanies. In Botswana,
the Cohens's tiny motorboat is charged by a hippo. In Zimbabwe,
lions ambush a buffalo outside the family's tent. In Australia,
their young daughter is caught in a riptide and nearly pulled out
to sea. In One Year Off, you can join the family on a trek up a
Costa Rican volcano, cruise the canals of Burgundy by houseboat,
and ride ferries through the Greek Islands. Later, as the Cohens
wander further off the tourist trail, you can drive through the
villages of Rajasthan, traverse the vast Australian Nullarbor, and
discover the charms of Cambodia's Angkor Wat and the hidden
shangri-las of northern Laos. Over the course of these adventures,
the Cohens learn to live as a family twenty-four hours a day, seven
days a week and enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend
time together without the distractions of modern life. The author
rediscovers the world through his children's eyes and gains new
perspective of his own life. This humorous, heartfelt story is the
next best thing to taking the trip yourself
