Hi, Welcome to GaffordsGoGlobal!

Hi friend! I’m Stephanie — a wife, mom of two adventurous little boys, former corporate trainer, and full-time travel agent and blogger with an ever-growing passport and an even bigger passion for exploring the world.

I wasn’t born with a suitcase in hand. In fact, I didn’t really begin my travel journey until my mid-twenties. But everything changed after my first trip to Italy — the food, the history, the atmosphere — I was hooked. Since then, my husband and I have made it a point to explore at least 2–3 new destinations every year, sneaking in extra adventures whenever we can.

These days, we travel both as a family and as a couple, embracing the wonder of both the world-famous landmarks and the hidden gems that few tourists ever find. Our goal? To raise our boys with a deep appreciation for culture, language, beauty, and all the diverse ways people live around the globe — because we believe travel is one of God’s most beautiful gifts for learning and connection.

Before this journey, I worked in leadership development — coaching others in public speaking, sales, and personal growth. But in the summer of 2024, I took a leap of faith and followed my heart into full-time travel planning and blogging. It’s been one of the most rewarding decisions of my life.

Whether you’re here looking for practical travel tips, destination inspiration, or just daydreaming about your next great escape — I’m so glad you stopped by. I hope this page sparks ideas, builds excitement, and helps you travel with confidence and curiosity.
