Hi, I’m Sherry!
A TRAVEL WRITER AND slow TRAVELER.
I’m so happy you’re here. I’ve spent decades perfecting the art of slow travel with non-flying journeys on oceans, rivers, and rails.
I created Truly Sherry to share my practical travel tips, comfort-food stories and recipes, reflections on life after 70 and personal adventures to inspire you to explore the world at a relaxed, meaningful pace.
I’m also a part-time vanlifer along with my trusty little dogs, Poppy and Chip. Together we’re exploring the USA and Canada.
Thanks for stopping by to read my stories. Learn more about me here.
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 I share my stories from a life of unhurried journeys, starting a new chapter after 70 and doing it with intention. Whether you want to travel slower, live a bit more simple or curious about aging, retirement, and reinvention, I hope you find some answers, inspiration and encouragement here.
