About Sherry:

gnomeI am currently in my early 40′s and have been on the road for more than 5 years at this point.  How did I become a digital wanderer and career break guru?

I quit my corporate IT job in 2006 and said goodbye to blackberries, meetings and New York City. My original intention was to simply take a career break and come back after a year and determine next steps.   I traveled around the world to 23 countries, finding a new exciting world outside of my office walls.  My eyes were opened to possibilities and the beauty of simplicity; I didn’t want to go back to my old corporate existence.  Instead I sold my possessions and relocated to Vietnam to teach ESL, do photography, and continue building a blogging and writing presence.

I now continue to wander the world solo without a home.  I still teach occasionally, do freelance work, housesit, volunteer, and anything else that sounds exciting and comes with a bed.  Sometimes it’s great, and sometimes it’s not so great; it’s just my nomadic life.

I hope you decide to join me on the journey as it continues; you never know where you’ll go with me next!
