Practical itineraries and city guides for travelers with limited vacation days.
About Out of Office
Out of Office is the travel blog of Sherianne Higgins, a U.S.-based writer, photographer, and trip planner who focuses on getting the most out of short vacations. Sherianne began traveling internationally in 2007 and has visited 37 countries; the site has grown to more than 390 guides since 2024. Where possible she visits destinations herself, takes the site photography, and researches logistics such as driving times, reservation needs, and sensible home bases. Out of Office publishes city guides, day trips, and multi-day itineraries built around realistic timing, and posts are illustrated with Sherianne's own photos and practical step-by-step advice.
A no-nonsense planner's voice that treats vacation time like currency. We enjoy Sherianne's clear, first-person writing and the way each guide reads like advice from a seasoned colleague who knows how little time you actually have. The Médoc wine tour post is a good example: detailed, itinerary-focused, and full of useful logistics rather than vague sightseeing lists. Standout material includes concise day trips, weeklong itineraries and city guides that tell you where to base yourself and when to book ahead. The site publishes a steady stream of new, photo-rich guides aimed at efficient, realistic travel planning.
