Why a Blog….
The purpose of Gallavant and its stories is not just to inspire people to get out and to do something different on their next trip, but also to add a little inspiration into their lives. It’s about getting out of that comfort zone, whether it be on a trip, changing a career or perhaps starting a new hobby. I want to make everything I put out there be relatable and inspirational in some way shape or form for all. I have so many stories and life lessons learned from my times traveling. I was always told I could write a book. Well… the book hasn’t happened, but now a blog has.
What to Expect
There is going to be a mix of my stories of travel, travel tips, life lessons I’ve learned along the way, random hidden gems to explore, stories from others who will leave you with inspiration and much more. I also plan to go a little deeper behind the scenes where I share the ups and downs of launching a business while working full-time, being a mom of 3 and trying to keep myself sane. Who doesn’t like relatable stories when you are about to lose your mind to remind yourself it’s okay if you want to run out to your minivan and scream at the top of your lungs?!? At times when things are crazy, I think to myself I’m the only one, but in reality, we can probably all relate in some way.

Who doesn’t love a little reality TV blog style?
Also…I don’t know about you, but I am a huge fan of hearing about people’s stories. Aren’t most people?! This is why reality TV and social media are so popular! One of my favorite podcasts is How I Built This (it’s interviews with entrepreneurs and their story from idea to their super successful business) I love hearing the ups and downs of these people that are just like you and I and their grit and the little bit of luck that they encountered to get them that break to becoming super successful. It’s inspirational which is what we’re all about at Gallavant.
Whether I’m talking about myself or a situation, there is always going to be an end goal of how can I make what I’m writing benefit the lives of my readers and future “Gallavanters”. Perhaps you do something totally out of your comfort zone and nothing like you’ve ever done before, or start your own business or maybe you’re just looking to relate to other parents that are trying to do it all in life and stay sane. There’s always something to read that’ll perhaps inspire you to get out and create new experiences. Or will make you realize that your crazy life is something that most people have in common.
