Sheryl planned the perfect solo trip for me! We talked about the type of trip I wanted, and decided on the location (Costa Rica), amount of time I had for the trip, and planned a variety of excursions and activities for me to do while I was there. She found lodging and travel for me within the country, as well. It ended up being an AMAZING trip and it wouldn't have been possible without Sheryl!

I am an experienced traveler. At this season of my life I have traveled to nearly 50 countries. When I consider all of my experiences, traveling to Southeast Asia was by far the most amazing experience I’ve ever had. What made this experience so awesome was the great care Sheryl took in coordinating the trip.
With a big idea and little time, I solicited the help of Why Not Adventures and unfolded my wish list. I had 4-5 weeks to hit as many countries in the region as I could. I wanted to see many points of interest, experience the culture and engage with families. After two conversations and a few emails, the work began. Initially Sheryl presented a robust itinerary including all of the things I mentioned. This demonstrated her great listening skills and attention to details. After making a few adjustments, she set up all flights. After purchasing the flights, she provided three lodging options at each destinations. I secured all lodging.
After we were all set, Sheryl sent information about what to pack, how to maneuver transportation from the airport to lodging spots, and guideline on cultural norms. We discussed what things should cost. Once the trip began, she made herself available to answer questions and to address a few awkward situations.
In a 5 week period, I visited 7 countries, took 3 cooking classes, had 2 food tours, went on a cruise, took 2 trains, visited museums and galleries, had custom clothing made, played with elephants, lions, tigers, and no bears as well as traveled on top of an elephants and scooters. I made many friends and spent days with monks meditating and discussing mindfulness. I went to markets, street parties, and cultural celebrations. I had massages, facials and reflexology to my body’s content. I played with monkeys, snakes, butterflies and bees.
Looking back, my excursion was epic. It was the most flawlessly planned and executed adventure in my life. Undoubtedly this would not have been possible without Sheryl’s impeccable work. It’s as if I had my own personal assistant.
Please do yourself a favor. Adventure. Sheryl can make it happen.

Sheryl planned an amazing adventure for me and my family (my brother and I and our parents)!! She worked with our family from the very beginning to help us agree on somewhere we were all very excited to see: Croatia!!! She recommended spending part of our two weeks in Croatia as well as including another destination. I wouldn’t have thought to do Croatia and Bologna, Italy together, but it was a great idea!! Perfect combo of beautiful ocean landscapes, waterfalls, and walled cities in Croatia and incredible, mouth watering food in “fat city” Bologna for my foodie family. We loved that our trip included planes, overnight boat, and road trips. We felt that our trip included just the right amount of time in each destination. Sheryl was happy to roll with our general gestalt of what we wanted and make it into a perfect “why not” adventure that suited all four of our travel styles!! Thanks for the beautiful trip, Sheryl!

Currently traveling in Italy on our honeymoon. Thus far every aspect of our trip has been superb from transportation to accommodation and elements in between and beyond. For a taste of what Sheryl coordinated based on our requests, follow our hashtag #selmosh. This has made our journey seamless!

My brother and I have been planning a 2+ week trip to Vietnam with almost no knowledge of the country. Thank God for Sheryl, she was so thorough in tailoring an itinerary to our tastes and helping us maximize each day within a tight timeframe. For two internal flights within Vietnam, she found us cheap tickets on an Australian regional airline with excellent safety ratings - a requirement for me. It’s not listed on Kayak, so I would have never known about it. Sheryl loves travel and it shows. She was excited to plan our trip and pore over the details like it was her own. Now we can start the trip with full confidence in our itinerary. I advise you all to do the same!

Sheryl really knows her stuff! My husband and I had already decided we wanted to do a European winter vacation, so we purchased our flights and got very decent prices. Then I remembered Sheryl had this travel planning service, so I emailed her with the dates we were going to be in Europe, our preferences (we wanted to visit at least three places), and our criteria. Sheryl took about a week to do the research and emailed me with about 6 different places we could choose from, with thorough suggestions for each. We ended up not being able to use a few of her suggestions because we had already visited Spain the previous year (and I totally forgot to inform her of that), but Sheryl was completely unfazed and did another round of research for us! We were very excited about her suggestions and we had her help us book local European flights and offer hotel/AirBnB suggestions. Sheryl was extremely flexible and knowledgeable and was really innovative with her suggestions. For example, for one of the cities we are visiting (Prague), Sheryl suggested we do a day trip to Karlovy Vary, a spa town not too far away. That is not something we would have ever known about, and we're definitely going to do it! Overall, we had a wonderful experience with Sheryl and will definitely use her again when planning our next big vacation :)

We normally plan our own vacations however life was getting in the way and we needed some extra help. Sheryl took some criteria and pieced together the trip we wanted during a peak travel time with scarce availability. It is always nice working with a professional. She got the job done, no drama, no fuss, easy peasy, etc. It was nice having someone else do the work this time! Off we go!

How is she working this magic?! I found some tickets for Argentina and was just curious if she could find some cheaper prices and so reached out to Sheryl. She asked me about the price of my plane ticket, and within 24 hours, she found something for half the price! Then, after asking me some questions about what I wanted in terms of where to stay, she sent me a list of the top neighborhoods I should choose from and why, along with suggestions of where to stay in those neighborhoods. I really didn't have much time to plan for this trip at all, and she did all the work, so it was really helpful. I pretty much just showed up, stayed where she suggested, which was an awesome fit for me, and had a great time. Sheryl is super fast and knows how to fly :)
