About the Host

Danielle G.

Creator/Host/Producer

Danielle G. was inspired somewhat randomly in May 2018 to start creating Young, Gifted and Abroad (launched on Juneteenth 2018), but her interest in experiencing more of the world began when she was a child. She set her sights on France in elementary school and on Japan in high school, and she was fortunate to achieve those dreams by studying abroad in both countries as an undergraduate student at Michigan State University ('15). Her other international travels have included Quebec, the UK, and South Korea. She currently resides in the Metro Detroit area and is honored to be your host!

What fans say about the podcast

Great exploration of traveling as a person of color

This was great to listen to. As a Black woman who loves to travel but has apprehensions and concerns it was great hearing experiences from people who look like me going all over the world and in different periods of time. There are eye opening and funny moments shared in stories from people who stepped out of their comfort zones to travel to new places and experience the humanity of people in other cultures. There is a lot you’ll learn without even realizing it because you’re busy taking in a piece of someone’s life, experience, and perspective on themselves and the world after adventuring in it. Definitely give it a listen!
