About Ottsworld

Ottsworld is the longrunning travel site of Sherry Ott, a solo traveler who turned a 2006 career break into a writing and tour business. Since the blog began she has visited 75 plus countries, launched small group tours and built a large archive of trip reports and advice, with more than 1,075 posts dating back to 2007. The site mixes personal essays, practical itineraries and gear guides, plus paid tour offerings and consulting. Posts rely heavily on Sherry’s own photography and experience, and she discloses sponsored or comped travel when applicable.

What makes Ottsworld unmistakable is Sherry’s seat-of-the-pants storytelling voice, the kind that turns a one-way ticket into a two-decade chronicle. Reading the sample is like hearing an honest friend reminisce, with generous practical detours such as packing lists, cruise notes and cultural deep dives on places like Japan and Antarctica. The site doubles as a guidebook and a small tour company, so you get both personal trip narratives and concrete next steps like booking a bespoke group tour or hiring Sherry for itinerary help. It is actively maintained, with long, well linked posts, plentiful original photos and regular monthly updates.
