What happens when you leave the hustle and bustle of New York City—the career, the comforts, the chaos—and embark on a year-long journey around the globe? For Margaret and her family, this was not just a dream but a life-changing decision.
Margaret shares her story of how that extraordinary experience ignited their adventure, the lessons they learned along the way, and the tales that made it all worthwhile. Their journey took them to 29 countries across 6 continents, where they embraced cultural hospitality and formed unexpected friendships.
Margaret Bensfield Sullivan is the author of "Following the Sun: Tales (and Fails) From a Year Around the World With Our Kids." After nearly 15 years in communications and brand marketing, including as a partner at WPP's Group SJR, she left her corporate career to travel with her family. A Washington, DC native, Margaret graduated from Vanderbilt University and holds a Master's in French from Middlebury College.
Margaret discusses the challenges and joys of "world schooling," the homeschooling approach they adopted while travelling. Transitioning from a settled routine to a more unpredictable lifestyle, they learned flexibility and resilience.
As Margaret moved from a corporate career to exploring her creative passions, she highlighted the value of storytelling. By documenting her family's travels, she created a personal record and an inspiration for others. She hopes to offer insights through sharing these stories, whether considering big changes or seeking escapist adventures.
Let's enjoy her story!
