Sherry Jackson has a love of travel and exploration that began in childhood, when her family would load up the car on the weekend, pick a destination, and set off. Sherry has hiked through jungles, snorkeled the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, and wandered the streets of Paris, always searching for her next adventure. Growing up in Arizona, she joined her family on hikes into the Superstition Mountains and the Grand Canyon. Sherry began writing for school newspapers and her own travel journals that portrayed her family's vacations. As an adult, she settled on a career in information technology-for a while. Today, she's vice president of content and digital for a local media company in Greenville, South Carolina. She has written hundreds of articles for national, regional, and local publications on topics such as business, travel, technology, and more.
