Gabrielle Reilly Weekly - POLITICS, FITNESS, SWIMSUITS, HUMOR AND TRAVEL

G’day,

Thanks for stopping by my site.

This site was born after the world changing events of 9/11. That was the day my whole unusual life made sense.

I grew up travelling and/or living in many different countries particularly throughout Asia. It wasn’t the typical tourist type travel. It was the living among the locals and travelling on rickety old boats with pigs and chickens type of travel. I learnt about culture, religion, history, poverty, wealth, economics and politics from about the time I could walk. Each country offered a new lesson on what works and what doesn’t.

At six, my role models were Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King and Wonder Women. I know this sounds incredibly hokey but I knew when I grew up I wanted to serve mankind with the heart of Mother Teresa, draw crowds with the Wonder Women packaging and move people for the better of the world like Martin Luther King. My childhood vision suddenly made sense on 9/11.

Between the attraction of models on the internet, my international cultural experience which is needed at a time of global misunderstandings and the ability to reach large audiences I knew it was time to follow my path. It’s not necessarily exactly what I want to be doing (I am a lot more modest than my pictures suggest) but I know with certainty this is what I am meant to be doing.

I moved from Australia to America about five years before 9/11. The going lighthearted joke on “Yanks” as we called them in Australia was “septic tanks” you know yanks that are full of… so I certainly wasn’t screaming red white and blue when I arrived in America. But I didn’t understand Americans. I didn’t understand how much America was misrepresented around the world. I didn’t realize how generous America is until I lived here.

The main reason I promote/defend America with the media outlets around the world though is because:

I believe the more the world portrays America to be bad, the more terrorists are recruited, the more people die and the more wars erupt.

When I promote America around the world it’s not because I am bleeding red, white and blue now and I see no failings. Or that I hope you love Americans because I love Americans. Nope. I promote America in the hope of saving lives.

I hope if you are anti-American that you quiet your rhetoric a little after you consider the global impact of inflaming hatred.

Thanks for stopping by my site. I hope you enjoy my articles, pictures and information. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

May peace, love and joy be with you.

Gabrielle Reilly
