Beyond the Next Horizon Ann Olsen

Many people may dream of sailing off into the realm of the setting sun, searching for paradise. This book tells of doing just that, with my husband and two young children. I tell of the epiphanies experienced and also the hard work required to keep oneself and their family safe and alive while pursuing the adventure of a lifetime. The common question, "What about schools?" is answered, as this is often a stumbling block for parents. It takes more than putting on a bikini and lounging on the deck of a sailboat in the sunshine to accomplish this type of travel adventure, but it is all worthwhile. The memories of strangers turned into friends are priceless. Our circumnavigation of the surface of this earth, visiting 54 different countries, is a tale of endurance and passion.
