About this listen

It’s possible to do something different—and this inspirational story will leave your mind buzzing with possibilities.

Do you ever feel like life is so busy that you’re missing out on actually living it?

Perhaps you traveled when you were younger, but now life feels stagnant—tied to a desk job with endless responsibilities keeping you from following your dreams.

Maybe you worry your children are missing out on real-world experiences because daily demands leave little room for adventure.

Or perhaps you simply crave something more—a sense of purpose or adventure beyond the “safe” path the world insists you follow.

Charles Achampong and his spouse felt the same way. What started as a dream of showing their children the world one step at a time evolved into a life-changing, around-the-world journey.

No matter your dreams—whether it’s traveling the globe or creating meaningful adventures closer to home—this story proves that stepping away from the familiar, slowing down, and focusing on what truly matters can transform your life and your family’s perspective forever.

Let Charles’s incredible journey fuel your imagination as you dive into the captivating tale of a young family on the adventure of a lifetime.

Inside this heartfelt and inspiring memoir, you’ll discover:

  • The author’s origin story and how travel became a cornerstone of his life
  • The thirst for growth and fulfillment that fueled the adventure
  • Money-saving tips to make your own travel dreams attainable
  • Reflective end-of-chapter exercises to help you rethink your priorities and turn lessons into action
  • The family’s transformative takeaways from their travels, including how pausing helped them learn from failures, grow stronger, and tackle challenges with confidence

Absorb the stories, embrace the lessons, and let this memoir spark your own journey toward growth and adventure. Life is meant to be lived fully and sometimes, someone else’s story is the nudge you need to chart a new course.

I love to travel and was intrigued by this book. The author does a great job showing not telling how a family leaves everything behind to see the world. As I listened, I could feel what the family felt during each countries encounter. I now have a whole new bucket list because of the insights on how each country made them feel. It goes way beyond go here and stay here. The narrator does a great job as well.

This audiobook really challenged the way I think about education and life balance. The idea of taking your kids around the world isn’t something I thought was realistic, but the way it’s told here, it felt approachable, even inspiring. I liked that they didn’t pretend it was all easy. The highs and lows gave me a lot to reflect on. It’s made me want to reevaluate how much time I spend with my kids and what kind of lessons we’re really teaching them.

Listening to Around the World in Family Days was like being invited into someone’s family scrapbook except with all the behind the scenes honesty most people leave out. I loved how the author mixed adventure with the real ups and downs of family life on the road. It made me reflect on my own priorities and even sparked some serious wanderlust. By the end, I didn’t just feel inspired to travel, I felt inspired to live more intentionally.
