ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Anyah Le Gilmore Jones
Available for hire
Hey there! I'm Anyah Gilmore-Jones - a digital nomad, cultural explorer, and storyteller who believes travel is about connection, not just destination. With a BA in Political Science and a concentration in International Affairs from Howard University, I bring an academic depth to my wanderlust that goes far beyond typical travel content.
My journey isn't about ticking boxes - it's about immersive experiences. From paragliding off Babadag Mountain in Turkey to exploring sustainable bamboo villas in Bali, I seek out adventures that tell a deeper story. As a travel journalist for Beau Monde Magazine, I've developed a keen eye for curating experiences that are both luxurious and meaningful.
What sets me apart? Language and cultural fluency. I'm proficient in Mandarin and have an insatiable curiosity about local traditions, cuisines, and lifestyles. Whether it's attending Bali's Day of Silence or uncovering hidden gems in Dubai, I approach every destination with respect, wonder, and a desire to understand.
My credentials speak for themselves - published poet, international affairs researcher, and content creator who has worked with top-tier publications and brands. But more importantly, I'm here to be your trusted travel companion, offering guides that are meticulously researched, beautifully crafted, and designed to help you experience the world's magic, just as I do.
Ready to transform your travels from tourist to true explorer? Let's journey together.
