Briefcase to Backpack Co-founder, Sherry Ott, was recently featured on the Wandering Educators website – a global community of educators sharing travel experiences.

[singlepic=1396,200,,,left]One of the coolest sites I’ve found this year is called Ottsworld – Travel and Life Experiences of a Corporate American Runaway. Published by Sherry Ott, the site explores Sherry’s travel adventures since she quit her corporate job a few years ago. Isn’t it a traveler’s dream, to give it all up and just GO?

This site shares the real-life experiences of a woman who did – and has had such life-enriching experiences since she made the change.  It is a daily reminder to me that we don’t have to do ANYTHING but figure out what we *want* to do, and then figure out a way to do it. Life is for living! From the photo of the week to Sherry’s travel tips, adventures, and posts about her life, this site is a treasure.
