Author Description

**IPPY Award Winner * Foreword Indies Award Winner * Independent Press Award Distinguished Favorite** With her signature wit, AK Turner deftly slays all the dragons separating “life with kids” from “life with travel and adventure.” Determined to prove that long-term travel need not be reserved for the lone male traveler, Turner tackles obstacles including working while traveling, affording an extended trip, pulling kids out of school, and what to do with them once you’ve done so. With stories from the author’s experiences in a dozen locations around the globe, and the honest and hilarious admissions of her fears along the way, Vagabonding with Kids is a timely affirmation of why we should all journey forth. “... a rollicking, outrageous, hilarious adventure. Buckle up!” – Michelle Newman, You’re My Favorite Today “Adventurous, funny, and inspirational, this book will convince you that traveling with kids isn’t impossible. It’s irresistible.” – Karen Alpert, New York Times bestselling author of I Heart My Little A-Holes and I Want My Epidural Back “Everyone dreams of escaping the 9-to-5, but few have the guts to actually do it. AK dares to live her life on purpose and has realized early in life that true riches aren’t reflected in accumulated possessions but are the vast and unique experiences we collect. If you’re ready to dive into the digital nomad lifestyle, you must read this book. AK proves anyone can do it – even a family!” – Christy Hovey, The 9-to-5 Escape Artist: A Startup Guide for Aspiring Lifestyle Entrepreneurs and Digital Nomads "If Bill Bryson were a traveling mom, he'd be AK Turner's spirit animal." -Erica Virvo, Director of Global Operations, Nomadic Matt "I love the Vagabonding with Kids series. It's like getting all the adventure but making AK Turner take all the mosquito bites on your behalf." -Lynn
