Julie Frieder and friends are cycling through Maine and Vermont, stopping at indie bookstores to share stories about epic family adventure.
After spending 13 months on the road with her family, Julie wrote “Wonder Year: A Guide to Long-Term Family Travel”—a book born from the real experience of figuring out how to pull up stakes and hit the road for longer than a vacation.
“Wildly inspiring and eminently practical,” says Florence Williams, author of The Nature Fix.
Julie, a first time indie-author, will share what she learned about planning and executing adventures, finding education on the road, and discovering that family travel doesn’t have to be perfect to be transformative. Whether you’re curious about worldschooling, dreaming of a summer road trip, or just wondering how families make it all work, come join in a wondrous conversation about curiosity, connection, and the educational power of travel.
