Hi, I’m Cheryl!

As a docu-style film photographer, travel has always been more than a vacation for me—it’s a way to connect with people, cultures, and the little moments that make life richer.

Being a dual citizen of the United States and Sierra Leone, I’ve grown up as a nomad, exploring different pockets of the world.

It’s such a powerful feeling to get away from the “everyday” to embrace someone else’s culture. It’s a reminder that no matter who we are, you have more similarities than differences with the communities and cultures that surround us.

Sonder is about helping others experience that magic, without having to manage the stress and hassle of travel logistics. We take everything off your plate, so you can hold space for more discovery, connection, and lifelong stories.

Travel isn’t about seeing the world—it’s about being part of it.

Hi, I’m Andru!

With over 15 years of experience in specialty beverage hospitality, I am passionate about curating adventure for folks through food and hospitality.

As a self proclaimed home chef, foodie, and certifications in coffee, beer, wine and spirits with a focus on sake, I always say that “your palate is a passport.”

You can be transported to a foggy cliffside in Catalunya when you take a sip of a Carignan.

The Travel Planning Process

  • Let’s Explore the Possibilities

    • Fill out a quick interest form to share your initial ideas, must-haves, and general travel vibe.

    • This helps me get a sense of what excites you and what you’re looking for in your trip.

  • Let’s Dream Together

    • We’ll have a relaxed consultation to chat about your travel style, your vision, and the kind of experiences you want.

    • I’ll use this to understand your preferences and the unique story you want your trip to tell.

  • Let’s Build Your Itinerary

    • I’ll design a custom itinerary that reflects your goals and passions, turning your dream into a tangible plan.

    • We’ll work together through rounds of feedback to tweak and refine every detail until it’s perfect.

  • Let the Journey Begin

    • Once the itinerary is finalized, you’ll set off on your trip, knowing every detail has been handled.

    • Enjoy seamless, stress-free travel with full support from me and/or on-the-ground assistance, wherever you go.
