Sharise Cunningham

Sedona, AZ

International and Cruise Travel Specialist

Ahoy, Hola, Dobrý den, Guten tag!

Say hello in any language. I'm a professional writer & world traveler with an unwavering dedication to fulfilling my wanderlust one adventure at a time. After decades of giving advice and tips to others, it only made sense to turn that personal passion into a profession.

Having called the Czech Republic, Sweden, and most recently, Mexico home; I bring a wealth of international experience and a unique -- or uncommon -- perspective to the world of travel planning.

I specialize in crafting unforgettable, uncommon experiences for...

  • Adult-only holidays.
  • Vegetarian and vegan voyagers (carnivores too, I just make sure your veg friends are not overlooked and relegated to side dishes).
  • Solo explorers.

I can tailor trips that cater to your diverse needs and preferences. Whether it's a scenic cruise through the fjords of Scandinavia, a solo trek across the lush landscapes of the Czech-Austria border, or a vegan culinary tour in Prague (yes, it's possible in this land where no pig is safe), I will ensure every detail is meticulously planned and executed for your optimal enjoyment.

With a knack for discovering hidden gems and a passion for creating memorable experiences, I'm your go-to expert for all things travel. Bonus if you enjoy down-to-earth budgets and affordable luxury travel! 

Get in touch and let's plan your next uncommon experience.

A Vegan Safari IS possible!

Imagine... The bushveld loomed large, a tapestry of gold and green. As a vegan, I worried about finding delicious meals. But my concerns vanished. Uncommon Travel, led by the insightful Sharise (a vegan herself!), ensured every meal was a delight. South Africa's plant-based bounty was showcased in creative dishes. We saw the "Big Five," lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo, alongside a kaleidoscope of wildlife. Knowledgeable guides shared their passion. The lodge embraced ethical practices. It was a vegan's dream come true, proving that unforgettable adventures are possible for vegans, even in the wildest places – with the right travel advisor.

I can make that your reality! Reach out to me and let's go wild.
