From the publisher: “Rob Krause and Daria Salamon sold their car, rented out their Winnipeg home, and packed up their two young children to embark on a 12-month journey around the world. In this dual retelling of their ambitious year away from home, Don’t Try This at Home chronicles the hilarious and sensational misadventures of a Canadian family as they travel across 15 different countries in the southern hemisphere. In an honest reflection on parenting, marriage, and living for a year on a tight budget, Krause and Salamon take readers through some of the world’s most stunning vistas while meeting the challenges of foreign customs, broken-down buses, stomach bugs, personal loss, and their often less-than-enthusiastic children to discover that perhaps they should never have left home in the first place.”
Rob Krause is currently a jack-of-no-trades. He was at one time a zoologist, a lawyer and a record label owner. He has been published in The Globe and Mail, The Winnipeg Free Press and, of course, the Canadian Journal of Zoology.
Daria Salamon is the author of The Prairie Bridesmaid and has written for The Washington Post, The Globe and Mail and Today’s Parent. She is also known for dragging her unsuspecting family on absurd adventures.
