EP-215 AROUND THE WORLD IN FAMILY DAYS: Charles Achampong’s Journey of Pausing with Purpose


Listen Later

In this episode of the 10Adventures Podcast, we sit down with Charles Achampong, speaker, author, and father, who made the life-changing decision to step away from a high-powered career to travel the world with his wife and two daughters.

Over the course of a year, Charles and his family visited eight countries across four continents, carrying only backpacks and a commitment to reconnect with each other and the world. Their sabbatical wasn’t an escape — it was a deeply intentional pause designed to build memories, spark curiosity, and slow down in a fast-paced life.

Charles shares what it was like to say goodbye to stability, how they traveled on a budget, and how worldschooling transformed his kids’ education. He also opens up about rediscovering presence, parenting with awareness, and writing his first book, not to publish, but to remember.
