letter from the editor
I’ve found
that Girls Gone International always have the most
interesting concept of ‘home’. Each one as unique as the next, the
product of extraordinary life experiences and choices. It’s why GGIs
exude confidence and self-assurance; it comes from conquering the
world, country by country and trusting themselves enough to test
their limits.
Anne Scott | Editor in Chief
The GGIs that contributed to this issue have found ‘home’ in many
different ways and places. We meet nomadic GGIs, Danni and Trisha,
who quit the 9 to 5 for life on the open road and Savannah Grace, who
at the age of 14 left her teenage life behind for a four-year backpacking
adventure.
Sometimes ‘home’ is something we make, as evidenced by our GGI
community managers who opened their homes to us, sharing how
they’ve created a ‘home’ abroad. Other times, it’s found in the journey
itself, as I was recently reminded.
Meghan Klein | Creative Director
While I’ve always maintained that home is wherever I am, it’s easy to
forget when in the midst of transition. I’ve recently returned to my
home country and was disappointed when it didn’t feel right. I found
myself asking some really important questions.
‘Where in the world (literally) am I supposed to be?’ While I’ve yet to find
the answer, I am happy to report that right now, at this exact moment,
I’m meant to be nowhere other than here. I hope you have the same
peace of mind.
The journey isn’t always exciting or easy, but it’s these experiences that
make us GGIs. They remind us of what’s important and why we’ve chosen this lifestyle. We don’t grow when things are easy; we grow when
we face challenges.
Tina Jones | Managing Editor
Grow.
Find solace in transition, trust yourself, conquer your fears and test
your limits.
