Sherry Schwarz assumed the position of editor and publisher of Transitions Abroad in 2003. Her primary interest and focus is on educational and responsible travel, specifically community-based travel, ecotourism, and volunteering abroad. While her role keeps her more often behind the desk than on the road, she travels vicariously through reviewing Transitions Abroad articles and working daily with internationalists. She is director of the Abroad View Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides open forums for students to discuss international education and global issues. Among its key activities is the biannual production of Abroad View, the global education magazine for students, which Sherry founded in 1998. She served as the editor and publisher of Abroad View until 2005.
Sherry’s background is in freelance writing and editing for newspapers, radio, and television. She graduated from Middlebury College in 1999 with a major in English literature and a minor in creative writing. Studying abroad at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford University and traveling throughout Europe, Australia, and New Zealand impressed upon her the value of international exchanges and immersion in other cultures as the primary way to increase global awareness and understanding.
Sherry now lives in Bennington, Vermont and can be reached at editor@TransitionsAbroadMagazine.com or 802-442-4827.
