Travelers of the year

In 2011, Canadian travel writer Heather Greenwood Davis and her husband, Ike, went on an adventure. They took their two sons—Ethan and Cameron—out of school, and went on a round-the-world trip.

In total, the Davis family spent 12 months on the road and went to 29 countries. They saw amazing birds in the Galapagos islands, climbed volcanoes, and helped at a children’s hospital in China. They even came close to a huge bear in Canada. They went to beautiful temples in Cambodia. They also traveled into the rain; forests of Thailand and saw really big Asian elephants.

While they traveled, they wrote many travel blog posts. They also took lots of photos. Now back home in Canada, Heather says that her family learned many things. They learned that the world is a beautiful place full of amazing people. Traveling made her see how we are all like each other. We can all make friends everywhere we go.
