Freeways to Flip-Flops is Now Available

Endorsements for Freeways to Flip-Flops

“Sonia Marsh and her family give new meaning to the term “flipping out!”  Sombreros off to them for showing us the roads less traveled can often be the most rewarding — even when our trips don’t go as planned.”

–– Franz Wisner, New York Times bestselling author of Honeymoon with My Brother and How the World Makes Love

***

“If you’re dreaming of escaping to a tropical island, or to any foreign land, don’t miss Sonia Marsh’s candid and vivid recounting of the ups and downs of life abroad. Part adventure tale, part romance, part family saga and part travel guide, Freeways to Flip-Flops is a memoir that reads like a novel.”

–Lan Sluder (Easy Belize, Fodor’s Belize, Living Abroad in Belize)

 

I am so happy to announce the arrival of my travel memoir:

Freeways to Flip-Flops: A Family’s Year of Gutsy Living on a Tropical Island.

After seven years of gestation–the time it would take for 3.5 African elephants to  grow inside their mother, I am now the proud author, wife, and mother of my family’s story.

As a special gift, I would like to offer you a 26-page book called: My School Bus Isn’t Yellow.  My husband, Duke, wrote this book which is full of color photos from our year in Belize. You will see our family, how we took our sons to school by boat, the mangroves, dolphins swimming next to our boat, a stormy sky, Altun-Ha Mayan ruins, our pier, a stingray next to our boat dock, “Hank” the hawk, starfish, and how we did our final garage sale by boat.

“My School Bus Isn’t Yellow.”

I love how Duke wrote this story for children, from the perspective of our ten-year-old son. It shows children and adults,  how different our life can be depending on where we live.

You can find all the information for signing up to receive your gift, my book and more on the Sidebar to the right.

Finally I wish to thank my family, fellow writers, blogger friends and everyone else, for your support during my writing journey. I wish you the best with your writing and publishing, and one last message.

I’d like to share one piece of wisdom that I learned from our year in Belize.

“Paradise is not a physical location; it’s a place that you discover within yourself.”

Love from Sonia.
