Meet Ms. Jones
“As a GGI, I’ve chosen a lifestyle which

I find exciting and extraordinarily rewarding;
however, I have to admit my love life is a bit of a
struggle. First engaged to be married, then single
and later negotiating long-distance relationships,
I’ve encountered relationship obstacles I couldn’t
have imagined.
However, from Girl Gone International’s Global
Census, I learned that I am not alone. The problems of my love life are not unique to just me GGIs experience similar issues,
depending on their relationship status.”

71% of you reported you were in

bi-national relationships.
While these relationships are wonderful opportunities to learn more about a new culture, it is
common to experience problems which arise
from cultural and linguistic differences.

49% of our GGIs reported they were married

or in long term relationships and while they get
to partake in adventures abroad, they face
additional stresses based on maintaining long
distance relationships.
