Could you pick up your family and leave life as you know it for a year - or more? Heather Greenwood Davis is a long-time travel writer, and in 2011 - when her sons were 8 and 10 - she embarked on a multi-continent, year-long trip with her entire family. Nearly ten years later, Heather shares the way that this trip was life-changing for her family, how it's made them more courageous and resilient separately and as a unit, and how she's taken this sense of adventure forward into her career, life, and relationships. Whether you've been a lifelong traveler or are just getting around to it in this phase of your life, Heather's story of grit and gusto is sure to inspire you to start filling out that passport application and planning your next adventure.
