letter from the editor
The first issue of the GirlGI digital online magazine launched on International Women ’ s Day 2013 and attracted thousands of readers in just 3 months confirming that we weren ’ t the only ones tired of generic publications and scattered online content .
Yes , it was time for a new type of women ’ s travel and lifestyle magazine .
GirlGI is packed full of the topics we love and issues that matter , all from our unique girl living abroad perspective . The GirlGI Editorial team members , based all over the globe , work hard to bring you completely up to the minute information and resources to help you survive and thrive , wherever in the world you may be .
And because we girls go international to every corner of the planet , we have made sure that GirlGI can now be accessed anywhere , anytime , offline on any mobile device .
