Sherry Laskin Kennedy

I'm the travel writer who hasn't set foot on an airplane since 1995. Instead, I choose to explore the world at "see" level via boats, ships and trains.

As a cruise and travel writer, my articles have appeared in a wide range of publications including USAToday.com, USNews, Huffington Post, Porthole Magazine, eHow.com, msnbc.today.com, NYTimes.com and as a contributor to Frommers Guide to the Greek Islands, 2010.

When I'm not on a ship or river cruise, I'm traveling across the USA and Europe by train, so I know first-hand all about Amtrak and the fast trains from Amsterdam to Bucharest.

As a cruise and destination expert, I'm also a frequent guest on national radio shows and podcasts.

With nearly three months each year spent aboard ships and exploring ports of call around the world, I am anxious to share my knowledge, experience and anecdotes with my readers and listeners.
