Hi, I’m Sheila. Welcome to World Through She, my travel brand where I share tips, recommendations, visual inspiration, and stories from across the globe. I work a full-time corporate job, have a dog, and many additional adult responsibilities that I won’t bore you with. I’m sharing this because you don’t need to drop your responsibilities to become a world traveler. Traveling is a part of my lifestyle, but so is being a successful employee, a dog mom, an investor, an activist and an engaged and present community member. You can be a world traveler under any condition, and I hope my stories help!

As an Iranian-American that grew up in a conservative town in Utah, I always stood out. I eventually learned the beauty of being different and being proud of my unique Iranian culture. Going through this experience sparked my interest in understanding the similarities and differences in cultures across the globe. I feel most comfortable when I’m in a new and unique setting, surrounding myself with unfamiliar cultures.

Traveling isn’t a hobby or passion of mine, it’s truly a lifestyle. To me, traveling encompasses much more than beautiful scenery and inner peace. You can call me a culture-obsessed traveler.

I started World Through She to empower others, specifically women, to gain the courage and confidence to travel through the stories on this site, my podcast, social media, or in-person. Welcome to the travel community.
