letter from the editor
A
hoi there
Girl Gone Internationals!
Girl Gone International is something special – we celebrate the lifestyles of
women who dare to venture outside of their comfort zone, connecting us
based on a common desire to live, learn and love everything this world has
to offer.
Tina Jones | Issue 3 Managing Editor
Girl Gone International came into my life when I needed it most. I needed
to know there were women out there like me living international lifestyles
and taking roads less travelled. This third issue of GirlGI, which celebrates
nautical lifestyles is particularly special to me as it’s my first issue as the
Managing Editor. I hope you get just as much enjoyment out of reading it
as I did helping to create it.
The women who contribute to this magazine are nothing short of aweinspiring and I’m honoured to now call many of these women my friends.
I’ve made many friends from my world travels, but through Girl Gone International I have expanded my network exponentially and unforgettably.
I can say with unshakeable certainty that through Girl Gone International
I have found a ‘home’, a community, a family and a sense of belonging in
cities around the world I’ve never even been to – but will.
Anne Scott | Editor in Chief
The life of a GGI is not without sacrifices but we make them gladly for the
opportunity to continue traveling and experiencing other cultures. In this
issue, I share my story – what I sacrificed for my love of travel. I chose my
nomadic lifestyle over love, marriage and a conventional life. I don’t regret
it because at the end of the day, my life is defined not by whom I love but
by how I choose to live my life – wherever that may be.
I hope this issue and the stories within bring you joy, a sense of belonging
and inspiration to continue to be just as awesome as you are.
Free your mind. Open your heart. Live your life. Travel.
Much love, Tina Jones
