Meet Sharon - your travel advisor
Hi and welcome. I'm Sharon Oberritter personal travel consultant with travelbysharon. I am a wife, mother, aunt and a very avid world traveler.
In 1996, I fell in love with the South Pacific and in 1998 took my first trip to Australia. Since then, my journey has taken me to New Zealand, Tahiti and Fiji. In more than 30 trips to these different countries, I have built up relationships with some very well respected suppliers who take pride in making sure your travel experiences are filled with extraordinary moments. I understand that it can be a daunting task to book a vacation to a destination you have never visited before. It often takes hours of research just to figure out the lay of the land, the distance between the places you are considering visiting, and the different tours that are available to you. Let my expertise assist you. Have you always dreamed of snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef, or to see a troop of Kangaroos in person? Perhaps you see yourself lounging on a gorgeous Polynesian beach, hiking in New Zealand or sleeping in a bure in Fiji. If so, please allow me to turn your travel dreams into reality. Are you ready for your dream getaway? Just give me a call. I would love to create that perfect journey for you. |
Sharon's Favorite Travel Memories
In my 24 years as a travel consultant, I have had so many travel experiences that it is difficult to pick just one. I have stood at the base of the Fox Glacier in New Zealand, cruised down the rivers of Germany - so close to shore at times I could almost reach out and touch the landscape, visited the birthplace of Pope Paul II in Poland, and was awed at the size of Vatican City. I have been greeted by the lyrical voices of Fijians as my boat arrived on shore, been serenaded by the beautiful voices of the Chinese Kindergartners as they tried out their English during my visit to mainland China and climbed into a Masai hut while touring on the Masai Mara in Kenya. I wept as my car left the ferry in Rosslare where I arrived in Ireland, feeling that I had finally "come home".
I have visited Australia more than a dozen times, and, once there, feel that I am welcomed back. I have walked the savanna in search of wild Koalas hiding in the trees, kangaroos with joeys in their pouches and wombats sleeping under the brush. I've seen the Remarkable Rocks on Kangaroo Island and watched the fur seals at play in the water.

My fondest memory, however, was the night our group arrived at the Grand Hotel just outside Assisi, Italy. We were a hungry and tired lot by the time we finally reached the hotel. Dinner and bed sounded wonderful. Just before retiring, I was invited by friends to join them for a nightcap. I graciously accepted. Little did I know that the entertainment would be the highlight of the day.
Our bartender was a mime, piano player and dancer who kept us laughing as exhausted as we were. He was like Victor Borge, hilariously performing a one-man show for us. When he asked me to dance, tired as I was, I couldn't refuse. We waltzed around the floor until the music stopped and then he spun me into a pirouette. Ah Assisi! What a night!
