Have you ever struggled with packing for a trip? You can't decide what you'll need, so you pack for every scenario and take far too much. You struggle to fit everything in your bag, you get stressed lugging it around, and you pay a fortune in airline luggage fees. The Carry-On Traveller will teach you not only how to lighten your load, but how to pack everything you need into a single carry-on-size bag. You can apply these strategies to any trip, whether you are travelling for a week or a year, to hot or cold climates, alone or with kids. By travelling carry-on only, you'll save time at airports, avoid wasting money on checked luggage fees (which are increasingly common), and reduce the stress of hauling bulky bags. It's not an all or nothing approach. Packing light is a learning process, and you might want to take it gradually. Even if you don't travel carry-on only on your next trip, this book will help you pack lighter.

In this "refreshingly relatable" (Outside) memoir, perfect for the self-isolating family, Slate editor Dan Kois sets out with his family on a journey around the world to change their lives together. What happens when one frustrated dad turns his kids' lives upside down in search of a new way to be a family? Dan Kois and his wife always did their best for their kids. Busy professionals living in the D.C. suburbs, they scheduled their children's time wisely, and when they weren't arguing over screen time, the Kois family-Dan, his wife Alia, and their two pre-teen daughters-could each be found searching for their own happiness. But aren't families supposed to achieve happiness together? In this eye-opening, heartwarming, and very funny family memoir, the fractious, loving Kois' go in search of other places on the map that might offer them the chance to live away from home-but closer together. Over a year the family lands in New Zealand, the Netherlands, Costa Rica, and small-town Kansas. The goal? To get out of their rut of busyness and distractedness and to see how other families live outside the East Coast parenting bubble. HOW TO BE A FAMILY brings readers along as the Kois girls-witty, solitary, extremely online Lyra and goofy, sensitive, social butterfly Harper-like through the Kiwi bush, ride bikes to a Dutch school in the pouring rain, battle iguanas in their Costa Rican kitchen, and learn to love a town where everyone knows your name. Meanwhile, Dan interviews neighbors, public officials, and scholars to learn why each of these places work the way they do. Will this trip change the Kois family's lives? Or do families take their problems and conflicts with them wherever we go? A journalistic memoir filled with heart, empathy, and lots of whining, HOW TO BE A FAMILY will make readers dream about the amazing adventures their own families might take.

INCLUDED INSIDE: Funding Your Adventure Insider Tips on Affordable Travel When to Go What to Pack How to Choose Your Route Travel Safety Homeschooling on the Road Mistakes to Avoid... and much more! Introduction Some of my favorite family vacations when I was little were when my parents would scrounge up a few dollars and we would take a drive up to the Catskill Mountains to stay at a cheesy truck-stop motel for the weekend. We would have so much fun in those tacky tourist towns, filling our bellies with junky carnival food and participating in corny activities like going to a haunted house. We discovered our most treasured family moments sharing in these spontaneous silly experiences. Since meeting my husband, Scott, and creating a family of my own, I find that my parents' whimsical view on life has been deeply engrained into my own visions about living. Life is meant to be enjoyed today. If you have picked up this book, it means you have a spark of interest in living an extraordinary life. You are curious about existing outside the proverbial box and you are ready to take the first step towards living your dreams. My intention for this book is to inspire people to live beyond their own self-created limits and to venture outside the boundaries of the norm, because in that space magic exists. How do I know this? I know this because I experienced magic first-hand when my family of three took off for one year to travel around the globe. Through our own personal journey, I have developed this guide to walk you, step-by-step, along the path of manifesting your dream of world travel. Why? It's simple. I want to share the magic. This guide is your ticket to living your own magnificent story. Don't fear. I will hold your hand throughout the whole process as we maneuver through the stages of world travel manifestation. Even better, you will learn from all the many hilarious mistakes we made along the way so you can develop plenty of confidence in your own world travel capabilities. If we can do it, you can do it too! It doesn't matter what life situation you are in, world travel is for EVERYBODY. Your financial state, relationship status, job position and family stage have no bearing on your ability to travel the globe in style. All you need is to ignite your imagination and make your dream a reality. So, let's dive in!
