Hi! We’re Sherry and Vennessa
We’re the heart behind The Traveling Nanas. Best friends for 58 years, we’ve raised kids, shared countless seasons of life, and now share our love of travel. After a simple weekend getaway, we realized something big: travel should feel joyful, comfortable, and completely doable—especially for women over 50!
With Vennessa’s travel-agent know-how and Sherry’s adventurous spirit, we began sharing the tips that really make a difference—like packing hacks, comfy-but-cute shoes, and simple itineraries with plenty of time for slow mornings and sunset views.
