About Me

Roatan, Honduras

Hey I’m Sharinda, or Rin, and I love all things lux travel, POC-centric lux fashion, natural hair, and beauty. Being a dark-skinned Black girl growing up in the south, I was often told that all the beautiful things of life were not for me. Through this journey, I learned to truly love myself, dig deep into what really makes me happy, and show up authentically in any space I inhabit, and I sincerely believe that I (WE) deserve to be in all spaces.

I am a military brat and love my girl tribe! I can literally eat seafood every day and am obsessed with the ocean (Cancer Sign Gang)! I am 8 years free of a watermelon-sized fibroid that used to ruin my life. I have been Happily married to my best friend for 5 years!

It’s my mission to teach you to travel the world, find your own version of luxury, discover your favorite self, and feel empowered on your job!

I am here to speak to the Queens working hard on their jobs, coming into the office every day to make the world a better and more efficient place. Many travel personas and sites preach entrepreneurship and quitting your job to explore the world.

Life is not one-size-fits-all, and many of us don’t have the desire to own a business or pursue a job that works from home. Travel doesn’t have to uproot your life.

So happy to meet you, work wife!!!

With 10 years of experience traveling the world and continuing to be a part of the corporate community, I have found that a 9 to 5 job does not mean that you can’t see the world. It is my passion to collaboratively teach you how to maximize your time, money, and paid time off, to conquer the world one pay period at a time!

Another focus of The PTO Nomad is wellness in health, career, and work/life balance. I provide tips and advice that will help you live a well balanced and joy-filled life!

If you need customized travel help with your travel plans, I can help you with that as well!

I am also a digital media professional with 11 years of experience. Allow me to help you with your social media, website, and email marketing.
