Global Girls’ (G2) Travel Diaries
The Inspiration Blog for Women & Girls Who
Love to Travel, Keep It Simple, & Follow Their Dreams….
Welcome to Global Girls’ (G2) Travel Diaries. My name is Jennifer Bao Yu “Precious Jade.” The photo above was taken from my hotel balcony in beautiful Ronda, a small town that lies at the tip of Andalucia in southern Spain. I have been an orphan, an immigrant, a global girl, an American citizen, an illegal alien, a travel writer, a Harvard grad and I continue to be a fantastic klutz. My dad, a former football fanatic from Pasadena, California, has blue eyes and brown hair. My birthmother is from Jiangsu Province, China. My brother was adopted from Korea. At nearly age 2, I came home to California with my new parents. It was 1979. At the time, adoption from China was almost unheard of.
This bouquet of love letters to the world is based on three main principles: Global Girls Proactively Connect. Global Girls Share. Global Girls Inspire. These pages are portable bridges to luscious lands of travel and discovery. Its heart is a message of hope. Its words may whisper to you, giggle, shout, soothe, tickle, prompt, question. Most of all, we hope these words will connect you. Recharge you. Nourish and inspire you. There is a MAGIC deep inside YOU. Won’t you share it? Your happiness could be your greatest gift to yourself and, by extension, to others. Taking care of yourself first ensures that you have energy and time and the ability to do everything else better, including taking care of and giving back to our gorgeous planet.
Ready to be a Global Girl at any age? Then close your eyes, take a deep breathe, dedicate this adventure to someone you love, and thank yourself for taking time for you. Wishing you the very best maps, a constellation of guides, and a year full of invigorating transformations. Together, we can connect, share, and inspire one another to live with purpose, harmony, and profound peace, putting the pieces of this world back together. Let’s switch on – one girl at a time, – a string of bright lights encircling our beautiful planet. Thank you for visiting.
