One of the most fun parts about travel is planning where you want to go next, the sites you want to see, and the memories you want to create there. There are so many exciting destinations to choose from and sometimes an overwhelming amount of resources. Sure we have all fallen victim to endless scrolling or getting lost in the corners of the web. But there is something magical about opening up a new book and diving into another world written on the pages. Join us, and travel the globe, book by book. Create deeper connections and share your dreams or memories of exploring the places we discover with fellow book worm travel bugs just like you. We will select a new wanderlust-inspiring book to read each month and host a virtual coffee hour (or happy hour) discussion, led by our travel experts and tour managers.

MEET YOUR NOVEMBER HOST!

Andrea Pradarelli, Fox World Travel’s Manager of Vacation Travel Sheboygan & Destination Weddings

Greetings! My name is Andrea Pradarelli and I am one of the Vacation Managers here at Fox, overseeing our Sheboygan, WI and Destination Weddings teams. I have been globe-trotting since before I could even walk and I knew a career in travel was inevitable, given that I also have family members in the industry. As a mother of two small children who already have a passion for travel, I am excited to share this family read with you and get to hear about this fun experience firsthand from the author.

How to be a Family: The Year I Dragged My Kids Around the World to Find a New Way to be Together by Dan Kois

What happens when one frustrated dad turns his kids’ lives upside down in search of a new way to be a family? 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.
