From the Alps to the Amazon: 52 Weeks, 5 Continents, 28 Countries, One Family

Recently the Higham family (John, September and their kids, then ages 11 and 8), packed up their Bay Area home, left their jobs and schools, and set out to experience other cultures around the world. Visiting 28 countries over the next 52 weeks, they shared a lifetime of adventures, including traveling on a cargo ship to the southern tip of South America, hiking the Inca Trail in Peru, trekking in the jungles of northern Thailand and cycling in Europe. Join John and September for a multi-media presentation, featuring highlights of their travels. Find out what it took to plan for a year on the road, how they home-schooled their kids and what they learned along the way.
