Some Kind of Magic: A True Story of Love, Life, and Wanderlust

by Sonya Moore, Jocelyn Carbonara (Editor)

Overview

This is a love story, but maybe not the kind you expect.

It started with an epiphany and a desire to live life more fully. One fateful day in 2017, Sonya Moore-up until that point, a responsible, hard-working, tax-paying American woman-decided to leave her home and career and set off to explore the other side of the world. That choice led to a three-year journey laced with serendipity and unexpected twists of fate that would show her more than she ever could have imagined.

Joyful and uninhibited, this soul-nourishing tale of love and adventure intertwined with discovery explores the mystery of life and human nature across continents, from the cloud-fringed mountains of Myanmar to the pristine beaches of southern France. Sometimes hilarious, occasionally shocking, always honest, this deliciously told travel memoir entertains and captivates while examining synchronicity, choice and destiny, the roots of happiness, and multiple facets of love against a vivid backdrop of some of the world's most beautiful and little-known places.

About the Author

Sonya's mission in this lifetime is to create beauty and spread happiness, and preferably to have a good time while she's at it. When she's not on a yoga mat, reading, writing, or composting, she may be found dabbling in graphic design, researching her next travel destination, eating something delicious or dancing around the house. Some Kind of Magic: A True Story of Love, Life, and Wanderlust is her first book.
