YOU WILL LIKE THIS BOOK IF YOU ARE:
- Looking for inspiration for living abroad.
- Afraid of living overseas.
- Interested in the day-to-day life of a family who has lived in several countries.

The author relocates worldwide while taking multi-year breaks in Atlanta, Georgia.
The author's family lived in Kenya, Cote d'Ivoire, and Switzerland.
She failed to climb Kili, but I love that she tried.
She shares what it's like raising kids internationally, which may appeal to parents thinking about doing that.

This book's greatest strength is how ordinary it is.
Many think living abroad is full of risk and danger.
This book reminds you that the worst that will happen is that a petty thief tries to steal from you on a Moroccan street.

You'll enjoy this book, so I'm giving it 5 stars.

An interesting account of the author and her family's life living in and visiting various countries in Africa. A good perspective on the expat life and its effect on family life.
