At 18 years old I learned there's a world outside my hometown filled with opportunity, adventure, and lessons to learn from life experiences. 

Hello and welcome!

My name is Gillian, but you can call me “G.” I’m a full-time traveler who lives each day to do the things that make me say “I love my life!”. My life journey took a pivotal turn when, at 18, I took a leap of faith and moved to Hawai’i. This leap was beyond my comfort zone, yet completely life-changing.During the three months I spent on Maui, I learned that there’s a whole world outside my hometown. A world full of opportunity, adventure, friendship, and lessons to learn from life experiences. Hawai’i gave me the time, experiences, and lessons I needed to discover who I truly am and got me to where I am today. 

I’m 21 years old, forgoing the typical college path, and instead traveling full-time. Since my travels began in Maui, I have lived in Italy and England as an AuPair and backpacked through 22 countries. I travel around the world by living off savings and doing work exchanges along the way. This allows me to truly immerse myself in cultures to learn, grow, and deepen my perspective on the world. My goal is to see as much of the world as I can, while inspiring others to live the life they love! I created ‘Travel with G’ to help turn your travel dreams into reality. I’m here to provide travel tips, share itineraries, plan your trips, and answer questions with my ebooks! Now, let’s work together and turn your travel dreams into reality.

My full name is Gillian but I’ve been called “G” since I was born. My mom named me “Gillian” with a ‘G’ so people would call me ‘G’ instead of ‘Gill.’ Which is exactly who I am, G – a go-getter, pot-stirring middle child, determined to live the life I love. 

My favorite word is “silly” because I love to be silly and embrace my inner child.

I come from a small town in Minnesota that’s right on Lake Superior. Winters are cold, dark, and long so you will never find me home during the cold months. I’m a girl who needs the sun and ocean! 

I drink three cups of black coffee a day – I love the taste, smell, and comfort. The first thing I do when I travel to a new place is to find a local coffee shop and try the coffee
