John Higham

In June 2005, John Higham and his wife quit their jobs, packed up their home and took their two children on a year-long, around-the-world adventure, visiting 28 countries on five continents. Both kids were under the age of 10 at the time. If anyone knows about traveling with children, it’s John. You can read about his family’s trip at the Web site Armageddon Pills. John has also written a book about his family’s travels, Armageddon Pills—Don't Leave Home Without Them (and Other Lessons From a Family's Journey Around the World). When not writing or speaking about his family’s journey, John works as a systems engineer in Silicon Valley.
