South America can be an
exciting, family-friendly vacation destination, and an increasingly
attractive, affordable alternative to the sharply rising costs of a
European trip. Join us as we travel around this fascinating continent,
from the heart of the Amazon rainforest through ancient Incan
civilizations and modern luxurious high rises to the thundering
glaciers at the southern tip. The book, BYOC: South
America! A
Family Sabbatical Handbook offers a unique combination of
travel narrative and guidebook.
Loaded
with photos and descriptions of enticing travel possibilities
throughout the continent, BYOC:
South America! contains
maps, travel tips, and detailed resources. At the end of
each
chapter, eight-year old Christopher provides his own perspective on the
benefits and short-comings of each region. Designed to entertain
armchair travelers and hard-core adventurers alike, this book may be
just what you need to create your own customized South American
adventure!

what readers are saying about BYOC:
South America! “This
is a very important book that fills a niche market. It is a
wonderful
combination of travel information, honest reflections, good advice, and
family focus. It is inspiring!”--Bonnie
Michaels, internationally
recognized work-life consultant,
speaker, President of Managing Work & Family, Inc., and
coauthor of
A Journey of Work-Life Renewal: The Power to Recharge
& Rekindle Passion in Your Life
“Truly
an eye-opener for anyone who believes the traveling life ends
once you are married with children.”--David
de Jel, MSc, engineer and
intrepid traveler
“It’s
like having 10 travel guides in one!”--Julie
Carr, President of

"This wonderful book is very well written, with good sentence structure, vocabulary, and voice. Best of all, it makes me want to go to South America!" --Julie Scandora, editor and author of One in a Million: Bringing Out What is Wondrous in Your Child through Trust, Understanding, and Respect "I've read this story with interest--what an amazing trip! Christopher's perspective is really unique!"--Rachel Collinson, writer for Lonely Planet's International Volunteering "The book was incredibly helpful from a logistics standpoint, and very exciting from an adventure standpoint. It makes this amazing experience seem doable."--Tim Landon, P.T., pediatric physical therapist, husband, and father of two young children "This book is exactly what we need. I loved the mention of the $1.50 lunch and references like that. I felt like I had a good, practical feel for what this kind of trip is like."--Robert Peters, P.A., attorney and counselor at law, husband, and father of three “I am fully enjoying the stories! I’m teaching my students about the Amazon, and I read them parts of your chapter on that region. They were really getting into it! They especially liked Christopher's comments. They laughed about the part where he got a Powerpuff Girls' game for his birthday, and cheered over Harry Potter. What a fun adventure!"-- Kamron Burchett, third grade Two-Way Spanish/English Immersion teacher and volunteer with Ray of Hope, an organization that provides relief to villages along the Amazon River, Brazil |
