About Global Gallivanting

Global Gallivanting is a blog that covers the best in travel and living a location independent lifestyle by offering guides, itineraries, articles and opinions on the best travel destinations around the world.

After I began traveling in 2013 I was so inspired by what I saw and the lessons I was learning that I started writing about it and sharing it through a simple WordPress blog, Global Gallivanting.

It was my hope that, by sharing my experiences from long term travel, I could inspire others to make their travel dreams a reality too.

Over a decade later and I’m still traveling, learning, and writing.

What Does Gallivanting Mean?

I’m often asked what ‘Gallivanting’ means. The Oxford Dictionary even gives this example for Gallivant:

Gallivanting means – to roam or travel for pleasure

“gal·li·vant

ˈɡaləˌvant/

Verb informal

To go around from one place to another in the pursuit of pleasure or entertainment.

“she quit her job to go gallivanting around the globe”

And that’s exactly what I did!

Gallivanting sums up the way that I like to travel. I love to be free and travel spontaneously. I have an insatiable thirst for adventure, to explore the world slowly, to marvel at it’s beauty, to immerse myself in different cultures, and to seek unique travel experiences.

What Does Global Gallivanting Aim To Do?

I created Global Gallivanting to share with you, not just the stories, photos and reflections from a life less ordinary, but also to write inspirational articles, practical tips and useful advice to inspire, educate and entertain other travel enthusiasts.

I want to show you that there can be more to life than the 9 – 5, and that long term travel, a location independent career and a nomadic lifestyle, can be an achievable, affordable and fulfilling lifestyle choice.
