About The Girl on the Ground
The ambition for The Girl on the Ground is to provide highly-curated travel recommendations and inspiring stories from the road for the astute and discriminating traveler. These savvy readers appreciate good taste, seek out quality over quantity, and live for travel that comes with a hint of romance and intrigue.
This style of travel can take many different shapes and forms. It isn’t necessarily luxury travel – sometimes it is and sometimes it’s on the cheap. Most trips feature cosmopolitan cities, but others have a bit of ‘roughing it’ in the great outdoors. Some trips involve being on-the-go every step of the way and others have no more than a five-foot radius from the the sun lounger.
The only unifying quality is that the travel is always carefully crafted. We do the reconnaissance work and share back the uber-researched recommendations to encourage those who lust for inspired travel to do more of it! We hope to help like-minded travelers relish in the ease, pleasure, and satisfaction that comes with travel expertise from The Girl on the Ground.
About the Author
I’m Emily – an American living and working abroad and ticking away at my travel bucket list as I go.
I have an undergraduate degree in Hotel Administration from Cornell University and spent the early years of my career working in a boutique hotel and then in luxury travel marketing. As such, I have a huge appreciation for the travel industry and deep respect for those who create unique customer experiences and deliver them flawlessly.
I’ve since moved on to advertising which has moved me from Chicago to Singapore and now on to London. But all along I never lost my wanderlust. Over time, I’ve honed in on my particular travel style that which takes much pre-trip research, but is amazingly fulfilling when it pays off with an effortless, intimate, and authentic experience on the ground. I hope to take this leg work out of trip planning for travelers just like me – the young(ish) or young at heart who are hungry for a life of intrigue filled with travel to beautiful places with people they love.
