I spent four months in Shchyolkovo, a Moscow suburb, where I attended a Russian high school and lived with a host family. Many years ago I first traveled to Russia when I was 15 for an exchange program. The books did well and eventually made the New York Times best-seller lists.Īs our travel increased, I began writing the Vagabonding with Kids series, travel humor books that chronicle our adventures and mishaps along the way. The result was my first book series, a fairly foul-mouthed, parenting-humor trilogy: This Little Piggy Went to the Liquor Store, Mommy Had a Little Flask, and Hair of the Corn Dog.
When I became a mother, I was inundated with advice and shocked at how many people think there is only one way to parent (usually their way).
I write full-time, my husband owns a real estate brokerage, and we spend about four months of every year living in other countries.īefore writing full-time, I spent a solid decade in starving-artist mode. I’m a 40-year-old mother of two from Maryland, now based in Idaho. My name is Amanda (but I write as AK Turner). In this interview, Amanda explains how she takes months off to travel with her kids, how she does it on a budget, and how she continues their education from the road! So, today, I’m sitting down with Amanda, a community member and writer of funny parenting and travel stories from Idaho. Have you ever wanted to travel the world with your family? Not sure how to do it on a budget? Not sure what to do about their education? Well, even though I don’t have children, I’m always curious about how families manage to do these things.
