My name is Sheri Hord. Some might call it impulsive. I prefer other words that people have used, such as exciting and inspiring to describe what I have done.

I have traveled the world, to over fifty countries and counting. I have been to all continents, except Antarctica, but if no one lives there does it really count? For me, travel is as close to an addiction or passion that I have, along with chocolate, and now surfing. Ironically, due to the pandemic, I have not traveled but chosen the adventure of remaining in Barbados for an entire year.

Over the years, I have had different reasons to travel, not all of them healthy. Now that I am older, I am clearer about what my time on the road brings me and how to manage the difficult parts.

This is not the first time that I have moved overseas. In my twenties, I moved to England for adventure. In my thirties, to Ireland for love. Now, in my forties, I am in Barbados to preserve my mental well-being during a world-wide pandemic.

I have been self-employed for over a decade as a risk management consultant, which brings me the freedom and the means to take advantage of the Barbados Welcome Stamp program.

Join me on my adventure as I look at COVID as an opportunity and move overseas, honoring the wanderlust that is part of who I am.
