About Me

My name is Gia (for short). I’m a native New Yorker from Queens with a passion for all things travel and culture. Growing up in one of the most culturally diverse places on the planet exposed me to a number of rich experiences, laying a foundation for what has since evolved into a thirst to dive deep into culture.
