‘I’m a Girl Gone International because
I thrive on changes and challenges in
life. Each time I meet a new person or
a new culture, I watch myself grow and
my mind broaden.’

What brought you to your
new city?
I met a boy while travelling and the
rest is history!
What has inspired your office?
I love being reminded of the good
times I have had in the past so I’ve
decorated my office with mementos
from my travels and use those memories as inspiration for my future. It
is my office, after all, where the work
happens, so travel related items are
good motivation.
Why is your office is an important
part of your ‘home’?
Everything else in my apartment has
been bought in Greece as part of my
‘new life’. The items in my office have
been brought here in suitcases over
the years either from my home in
the US or as souvenirs from travels.
I recently bit the bullet and had some
frames shipped over that were sitting in my Dad’s basement. Now my
room is completely ‘me’. In my mind,
this equals ‘home’.
