Aprašymas

One of life’s important lessons is to remain calm and act confident, even while fighting the urge to panic. John Higham learned the hard way that nowhere was this lesson more applicable than when caught drying his underwear with the hair dryer in the ladies’ room at the Taipei International Airport.

How he devolved from a cubicle-dwelling rocket scientist living the good life in Silicon Valley into the person drying his underwear in the ladies’ restroom 16 time zones away from home is one of many stories told in 360 Degrees Longitude–One Family’s Journey Around the World.

After more than a decade of planning John and his wife September bid their high-tech jobs adieu, packed up their home and set out with two children, ages 8 and 11, to travel around the world. In the course of the next 52 weeks they crossed 24 time zones, visited 28 countries and experienced a lifetime of adventures.

360 Degrees Longitude employs Google’s wildly popular Google Earth as a compliment to the narrative. Using your computer you can spin the digital globe to join the adventure cycling through Europe, feeling the cold stare of a pride of lions in Africa, and breaking down in the Andes. Packed with photos, video and text, the online Google Earth companion adds a dimension not possible with mere paper and ink. Fly over the terrain of the Inca Trail or drill down to see the majesty of the Swiss Alps—without leaving the comfort of your chair.

The Highams' story is much more than a travel narrative. It is a glimpse at what it means to be a “global citizen” – a progressively changing view of the world as seen through the eyes of an American family of four.
