About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: San Francisco, Northern Cali

GYPSY: (noun) One inclined to a nomadic, unconventional way of life. The first time I traveled alone I was 4. My mom pinned a note to my dress then put me on a plane from Atlanta to L.A. to visit my dad for the summer. That must have marked the beginning of my insatiable wanderlust because I can't seem to get enough of running away from home. In the mean time, I've spent my life between a career in the media and years in the hospitality industry. My independence has kept me single but that's a part of life when your first love is travel. I've been robbed in Australia and slept on a park bench in Amsterdam, but at the end of the day, I was on the road and that's where I'm most at home.

Alexis Van Gelder




Pronounced... "AH-LEX-EE." Van Gelder. Mom is British. Dad is French, with a Dutch last name. He was born in France and moved to the USA when he was a youngster.


This is my new roommate. I love him. He is the little brother I never had. Alexis is an Air Force pilot, and his rank is Major. He flies air tankers and re-fuels fighter jets. We are going to find him a wife and then I can be an auntie. Yippie!
