About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Prepping for RTW!

ABOUT ME

You can call me G, as most who know me do. I have a thirst for travel. You only have one life to live so I, along with my partner in crime, my girlfriend Q, are doing just that.. one globe-trotting city at a time.

My girlfriend & I host a travel blog.
