I've Never Been Here Before

Our Family's Year of Budget Travel, Wandering the World, and Finding the Sacred

By: Ashley Campbell

Narrated by: Sarah Naughton

A globetrotting mom of five chronicles her family's life-changing trip to over twenty countries in a year and shares transforming takeaways to inspire listeners' own adventures.

In June 2022, Ashley Campbell and her family embarked on an ambitious, yearlong journey, all on a tight budget. What they experienced was a world filled with wonderful people, interesting places, unique foods, and most important, abundant examples of God's exquisite creation.

As you travel along with the Campbell family to Morocco, Italy, Egypt, Japan, Ecuador, and many more countries, you'll enjoy descriptions of exotic locales; learn how to overcome the fear and unease of exploring the unknown; get a taste of different cultures, cuisines, and customs; and discover how you can enjoy your own worldwide adventures for a fraction of the cost.

Let Ashley show you how accessible and welcoming the world can be and open your family's eyes to the beauty and wonder you can only find by "being there."

Inspiring Life Adventures

I loved the travel lessons of looking for the positive side of humanity and expanding your horizons and understanding of the world.

Beautiful perspective

I loved this book. You captured the beauty of the world in your words. I love people and learning about different cultures. Now I need to get my hands on a copy so I could see the pictures!

I jumped at the chance to explore the world!

Ashley Campbell is an amazing storyteller both with words and photography. While listening to this version, we also followed along with the ebook. I followed along when the Campbell’s went on their year long adventures and what a joy to see those stories in book form! This is definitely a “coffee table” worthy book if you are looking for the physical touch! The narrator did her best, but since I know Ashley’s real voice, I had a hard time with really engaging. If you had never heard Ashley or the kids voices, this book would be perfect for a road trip!

If you are on the fence, just get it! You won’t regret it!
