Meet the 'Team'. Richie and Glenice Carr are experienced and fearless travellers (not
tourists!) who have the best travelling accessories in the world: their 11-year-old
daughter Tayah and 12-year-old son Daenin. This is no ordinary holiday - it's a three-
month perspective change, to help the kids appreciate the luck of being born in the 'lucky
country', and to set them up to be global citizens and accomplished travellers.
There are no soft options for the Team; no air-conditioned coaches, and definitely, No
Packaged Tours. From elephants and donkeys, to 16 hours in a sardine-style mini-bus,
horse drawn carts, pick-up trucks, feluccas down the Nile, and careering through a desert
in the back of a 4WD, they travel the 'road less taken' through Asia, northern Africa, and
the Middle East. Electrocution, baksheesh bandits, flatulent camels and napalm chicken
are (mostly) all met with humour, open minds and a pun or two... the occasional kangaroo
impression also helps. As Richie says: "All is fair in love, war and taxi negotiations."
