21 Countries

1 Unforgettable Adventure


In June 2022, my family and I embarked on an ambitious, yearlong journey, all on a tight budget. What we experienced was a world filled with wonderful people, interesting places, unique foods, and most important, abundant examples of God’s exquisite creation.

As you travel along with our family to Morocco, Italy, Egypt, Japan, Ecuador, and many more countries, you’ll enjoy stunning photographs of exotic locales; learn how to overcome the fear and unease of exploring the unknown; get a taste of different cultures, cuisines, and customs; and discover how you can enjoy your own worldwide adventures for a fraction of the cost.

Let me show you how accessible and welcoming the world can be and open your family’s eyes to the beauty and wonder you can only find by “being there.”
