My “OC Register” Interview on Front Page

Sonia holding a copy of OC Register 8-23-12 and pointing to the article written by Lori Basheda “Lake Forest family leaves the rat race.”

Yes, today I’m bragging. I couldn’t believe it when Register writer, Lori Basheda, told me that her article about my family escaping OC for Belize would make the front cover of the OC Register.

I woke up early, ran to buy 3 copies of the OC Register outside my local bagel shop, and asked my husband to take some photos of me holding the paper in our back yard.

The story continues on Page 13, and I had to get another photo of that page. As you can see, the OC Register photograher took a photo of me at Laguna Beach, holding my book, Freeways to Flip-Flops: A Family’s Year of Gutsy Living on a Tropical Island.

OC register article “Freeways to Flip-Flops”

You can read the online version of my interview with Lori Basheda, here.

There are extra photos to look at on the online version and if you would be so kind as to leave a comment on the online version. I was told the more comments, the longer that article will remain online.

Thanks to all of you for your support.

Sonia

      Nima,

      I agree, Lori Basheda wrote a fabulous article. We spent two hours together and she is a person who loves to travel, just like me. Thanks for the offer to comment.

      Miss Footloose,

      With all your expat stories, packed with humor and interesting places, you deserve to be on the front cover yourself. Thanks for your support over the years I’ve known you.

      Kelli,

      I shall do whatever I can to help you if/when you have a book coming out. How about submitting your “My Gutsy Story” about a Texan moving to Denmark. That’s “Gutsy.”
