My Life As A Backpacker

Less than .01% of the world gets the honor of visiting these unique islands along the equator, where nature feels untouched by time and Darwin's evolution began. Giant tortoises, swimming with sharks, playful sea lions, and volcanic landscape -- Gabby reflects on the delicate balance of preserving such a pristine ecosystem and the privilege of being immersed in its beauty.

From the lungs of the Earth, Gabby sits along the Amazon River to discuss life in the jungle of the Amazon Rainforest.

From atop a wonder of the world, Gabby sits down to discuss what got her to this point — 8,000 ft above sea level at the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu. Most importantly, how friendship plays a role into backpacking the world.

On the edges of Lake Humantay in Peru, Gabby sits down to talk about relationships — specifically in our twenties. Is he really the one?

From the Peruvian Andes, Gabby and Daniel take a seat along the mountainside to play a little game called Backpacker Translation — what travelers really mean at hostels when they tell you “I have a private room” or “Hey how long are you staying?” This episode is all about the lingo and hidden meaning behind all we say to people along the road, and especially all that goes unsaid.

From the river bank of Rio Buritaca in Northern Colombia, Gabby explains what it means to be a backpacker. Everything from how to book hostels to what to do when you arrive in a new place. From how to make friends to sleeping in dorm beds. From how much to save to backpacking hubs around the world. This is only the beginning!

I made it to Colombia! Nothing’s off the table in this game of Answer or Drink, where Gabby and one of her best mates Daniel who she met on the road joins her on the first Raunchy Thursday. Episodes dedicated to the juicy dirty details of backpacking, hostel life, all the in between.

After spending the past years exploring the globe by herself with nothing but a backpack, Gabby starts her first episode introducing herself, her purpose, and reflecting on her past adventures and how she plans to share stories from the road and the wisdom she's gained along the way. This podcast will be a mix of wild stories, life lessons, advice, and a deep dive into what it means to live freely, explore the unknown, and embrace every moment. Tune in and join me as I embark on my next journey as I fly off to South America tomorrow!
