PRAISE FOR AT HOME IN THE WORLD

“Many people have the fantasy of leaving everyday life behind to travel for a year. Tsh Oxenreider and her husband actually did it—with three young children! In this candid, funny, thought-provoking account, Tsh shows that it’s possible to combine a love for adventure and travel with a love for family and home.”

—GRETCHEN RUBIN, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE HAPPINESS PROJECT AND BETTER THAN BEFORE

“Tsh is a remarkable example of how to balance the rooted stability of family with the winged adventure of wanderlust. This book takes you country by country and shows you how she’s found the best of both worlds.”

—CHRIS GUILLEBEAU, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF BORN FOR THIS AND THE $100 STARTUP

“Possibly this book should come with a warning label, something like ‘only read this book if you want to upend everything in the name of travel, adventure, family, and love.’ Because that’s exactly what I want to do after reading it. I’ve always found Tsh’s voice to be warm, practical, and inspiring, and never more so than in this wonderful book. It was a beautiful reminder of how travel shapes us, how beautiful the world is, and how parenting doesn’t need to mean the end of adventuring. I loved every word.”

—SHAUNA NIEQUIST, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF PRESENT OVER PERFECT AND BREAD AND WINE

“Tsh Oxenreider is the only person I know who makes traveling around the world with her family of five sound not only normal, but downright cozy. Her beautifully written stories and intentional perspective offer clarifying reminders of what it means to belong and be well, no matter where we may go.”

—EMILY P. FREEMAN, AUTHOR OF SIMPLY TUESDAY AND A MILLION LITTLE WAYS

“A welcome counterpoint to the ‘burn it all down’ travel memoir genre, Tsh traveled the world for a year with her husband, their three young children and her job along for the ride. I couldn’t put this inspiring book down, not only because of Tsh’s glorious and interesting travel stories, but because of the underlying permission to include our children and our significant others in what we love most about being alive.”

—SARAH BESSEY, AUTHOR OF JESUS FEMINIST AND OUT OF SORTS

“There is a ‘normal’ way of living we easily buy into—graduate high school with good grades so you can go to college, get good grades so you can go to graduate school, get a job, work until you get the promotion, the house, so on and so forth. This book enlivens risk and emboldens us to find a full path, not a comfortable one. This book will make the wanderer feel right at home and have the homebody strapping on a backpack to wander.”

—LISA GUNGOR, RECORDING ARTIST

“This book is one of a kind, and for that it’s a must-read. It’s not a stereotypical travel memoir from a single person about ‘finding yourself,’ but rather a family that adventures because they already have. It made me wrestle deeply with questions of belonging, home, family, and hospitality—while giving full permission to be okay with the paradox of having wanderlust and also being a homebody. Read it, then buy five copies and give to friends. That’s what I’m doing, at least.”

—JEFFERSON BETHKE, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF IT’S NOT WHAT YOU THINK AND JESUS > RELIGION

“Warning: This book may create wanderlust. I loved this un-put-downable take on a true global road trip, family in tow. An inspirational tale of one family’s journey to find their place in the world, and one I’ll treasure.”

—CLAIRE DIAZ-ORTIZ, ENTREPRENEUR, EARLY TWITTER EMPLOYEE, AND AUTHOR OF DESIGN YOUR DAY AND THE BETTER LIFE

“As a homebody with a healthy dose of wanderlust, I’ve been fascinated by Tsh’s around-the-world adventure since the moment I first heard about it. I so enjoyed getting to tag along on her family’s global adventures, which were nothing at all like I expected—both more strange and more familiar than I had imagined.”

—ANNE BOGEL, AUTHOR OF READING PEOPLE

“As a devout homebody I’m used to being shamed by books about travel. Not this time. In At Home in the World, Tsh’s words will have you longing for home even if you’re sitting in your favorite chair. My view of home is forever changed for the better. I cannot stop thinking about this book.”

—MYQUILLYN SMITH, AUTHOR OF THE NESTING PLACE AND HOMEBODY EXTRAORDINAIRE

“No one leads us through adventure and family better than Tsh! This expansive story of people, places, presence, and pluck is an absolute page-turner. She went on the adventure I always dreamed of but didn’t know was possible. You are going to love this book. You’ll close the last page, hug your family tight, and then call your travel agent.”

—JEN HATMAKER, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FOR THE LOVE
