Such was the case for Houston writer Kimberley Meyer, who at a young age found her dreams of being a world traveler on hold when she became pregnant with her daughter.

But two decades later, with her 19-year-old freshly out of the house for college, Meyer got the chance to live out that dream of traveling the world. But she decided to take her daughter with her.
