We had the good fortune of connecting with Sharon Sheriff-White and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sharon, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I worked in tourism and in 2008, the strength in my legs was failing due to a situation I have had since childhood.

I worked as a sales presentative and a tour guide/translator for clients visiting from Spain and Portugal. It was physically taxing and I needed to do something where I could sit and earn.

I understood the hotel and tour industry and so a travel company was a natural fit.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I am a Funalogist, dedicated to the creation of fun.
The travel interview seeks to uncover the dreams of the traveller, which we seek to fulfil with needle like precison.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
This is difficult as the world is my stage and I am living a digital nomad lifestyle. Now I am in Medellin Colombia but Ocho Rios Jamaica is home so the selection are endless and it really depends on where they find me when visiting to have an authentic experience.
