This is a true tale of family adventure and travel through the Balkans, Egypt and Sri Lanka. It tells the real life story of a family escaping the rat race and "the norm", only to arrive at their new home in Sri Lanka one day before the 2004 tsunami. There are no other books in publication telling the story of surviving the five waves that hit the beaches of Sri Lanka that day in such detail- and there are no other books telling the story of a family choosing to take their children out of school and go off travelling for good. It's a genuine story of the highs and lows of home schooling, building a home and a business, and bonding as a family despite the challenges the world and nature throw at them. The tale is told in a light-hearted, humorous way; providing a real insight into what it's actually like to leave the system for...Somewhere Different. There are two more books in production, making this the first of a unique trilogy. The pages of this book will take you on an extraordinary road trip through Croatia, Macedonia, Albania, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey, with an ordinary family in an old American camper van. There's plenty of action, but with a healthy dose of tell-it-how-it-is realism throughout, and the journey finally takes them to what will become the Longest Day of their lives.
