Publisher's Synopsis
In the throes of a global recession, as economists advised fierce fiscal restraint, Rik and Zara Leaf sold their house and spent a year travelling around the world with their son Zion and daughter Riel, investing their life savings in the adventure of a lifetime. The thought of abandoning conventional wisdom and getting away with it was too exciting to pass up. Of course, the decision actually, really go for it involved lots of "what-ifs" and "are we out of our friggin' minds?"
The family filmed horror movies in Canada, ate mafia-made pizza in Germany, got caught sneaking onto a Hollywood set in Hawaii, survived a feral dog attack in Malaysia and dorsal fins emerging from the surf as they swam off the Australian Coast. Throughout the year they produced a video series called "Where in the World are Zion and Riel?" QR codes, linked to these videos, are included in the book, creating an amazing interactive reading experience.
