The Wanderlust Project

Whoever said the dreaded “quarter-life crisis” wasn’t real, lied. A crisis is exactly what travel blogger Sheryll Donerson was dealing with when, after graduating college and working job after job in L.A., she still felt empty and unfulfilled. Sheryl knew there was more to life than sitting in an office nine hours a day. Her solution? She saved money, quit her job, bought a one-way ticket to London, traveled around Europe for almost three months with her boyfriend and hasn’t looked back since! 

Now living in Yongin, South Korea, Sheryll uses her blog, The Wanderlust Project, to share her journey. Whether she’s posing for pictures with her students, reviewing Korean beauty products, stalking Hello Kitty in Tokyo or preparing for her upcoming Vietnamese adventure, Sheryll’s lighthearted musings remind us all of what life can be like when we dare to take a chance on our dreams.
