If you’re looking for a slower, more intentional way to travel and live,
welcome to Truly Sherry.
I created this space for those who seek a more grounded way to travel and in turn lead a simpler life. It’s a place for sharing my slow travel experiences, finding my way after 70 and doing it with intention. Whether you want to travel slower, live a bit more simple or curious about aging and retirement, I hope you find some answers, inspiration and encouragement here.

Hello!
I’m so Happy you’re here…
I’m Sherry, a longtime travel writer and solo traveler, who has spent decades perfecting the art of slow, non-flying journeys on oceans, rivers, and rails.

I want to share my practical tips, comfort-food stories, reflections on life after 70 and personal adventures in hopes to inspire readers to explore the world at a relaxed, meaningful pace. Thanks for stopping by to read my stories.
