Joan Sherman

Expert Contributor

Joan has loved to write since she was old enough to hold a pencil. Growing up on a Wisconsin farm, she experienced travel mostly through books, but after marrying her can’t-sit-still husband, Dean, and raising energetic twin sons, travel ratcheted up. (Warning: Don’t ever hike with three Marines.)

Although it’s hard to pick a favorite travel experience, the top of the list includes these extremes: a week-long rafting trip through the Grand Canyon and relaxing in an infinity pool on a cruise ship off the coast of Monaco. Apart from her love for writing and travel, she enjoys cooking, cycling, and photography, and she has a strong faith. She finds joy in the simplest things and is always ready for the next adventure.
