About the blogger & world traveller

Hi, Travel Groovers

I'm  Lisa

At last count I've been to 71 countries. My path to becoming a Global Gypsy began when my geography teacher took us on a school trip to Singapore. I was so mesmerised by the different culture, food and landscape that I immediately caught the travel bug. After completing a business degree in tourism and working in various large travel organisations in Australia and UK, I backpacked around the world for 11 years non-stop. Even worked on cruise ships in the Caribbean. I believe life is enhanced through travel adventures. My passion is to share my wealth of travel tips to help you travel smarter for less.  Find out more
