behind the blog
For the see it and do it all traveler. The one who loves a good adventure. The one always on the go, squeezing the most they can out of a country. The Globetrotting Giant provides you with a round-trip ticket into the travels of Emily Sullivan.
From itineraries, to tips, to day-to-day stories, come follow me in my journey as I continue to escape my comfort zone and take on the great unknown.
Hey, ya'll! I'm Emily Sullivan, the 6ft tall girl behind The Globetrotting Giant. Even though I have a full time job in sales, I have refused to put my love for exploring the world on the back burner. After-all "An investment in travel is an investment in yourself."
Loves: chocolate chip cookies, poodles, organization, diet coke, reality television (guilty), smell of freshly cut grass
Ehh. No Thanks: butterflies, full price retail, slow drivers, burnt food, clowns, one-ply toilet paper
Fun Fact: I am slowly, but surely learning Lithuanian.

So... Why blog?
Simple. Passion. My passion for travel has existed for as long as I can remember. From simple family trips to the beach to boarding an International flight at 5 years old. However, this global curiosity was taken to new heights after completing Semester at Sea in 2013. Since then, I've been to 30-something countries, immersed myself in different cultures, and sampled (more like devoured) the local cuisines along the way.

When people started asking me for travel advice, The Globetrotting Giant was born.
