Randall D. Wixen was born in Los Angeles in 1959 in a building that is now the Church of Scientology headquarters. A few weeks after his birth, his father was inducted into the U.S. Army and the family moved to a NATO base in La Rochelle, France. Upon returning to the United States a few years later, he attended public schools in Los Angeles, eventually receiving a BA in economics from UCLA (where he served as music editor for the Daily Bruin) while retaining an almost atavistic attraction to a European lifestyle.He founded Wixen Music Publishing, Inc. in Los Angeles and Wixen Music UK Ltd. in London. After nearly fifty years of defending and protecting songwriters, he aimed to work less and play more. Over the course of forty-two years of marriage, he and his wife Sharon have explored fifty countries. They have two adult sons and are currently splitting their time between Riga, Latvia (which is an ideal base for further European and Asian exploration), and a home in California's Santa Monica Mountains between Malibu and Calabasas.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Randall Wixen built a successful life in Los Angeles-a career in music publishing, a home in the Santa Monica Mountains, and decades of adventure traveling the globe. But Los Angeles had become a city he no longer recognized: choked with traffic, obscenely expensive, and frantic in pace. As retirement approached, he and his wife Sharon began searching for somewhere to breathe-somewhere with better food, slower streets, and people who aren't in a constant rage.They didn't end up in Portugal or France or Greece, where many expats now land. What started as a practical quest for EU residency through one of Europe's lesser-known Golden Visa programs--Latvia's--turned into something neither of them expected: delight at a place they'd barely considered. Time-Out from America follows the Wixens through five months in Riga, told in real-time journal entries. Laugh at his fumbling Latvian, feel his frustration with bureaucracy, commiserate with his hip, and celebrate with him as he signs papers on an apartment. And ask yourself whether you've ever considered Riga, Latvia, as a place to settle.Funny, occasionally maddening, and more affecting than the author probably intended, this is a book about the courage of starting over, the pain of watching your home country change, and finding that the most unlikely address in Europe might just feel like home. In Time-Out from America, Randall Wixen shares how an unexpected move to Latvia transformed his search for the ideal retirement abroad into finding a second home. This item is printed on demand.
