Hey, I’m Maddy or Global Mads, an Aussie girl in her mid-twenties that loves to travel. I equally love creating itineraries and I may spend a little too much time researching and organising up-coming trips.

The thing about me is if I go somewhere, you best believe that I have spent hours researching the areas. I want to make sure we see everything and do everything given we’re only there for a short time. It felt like a waste to not pass on my itineraries and share recommendations and tips. Thus, global_mads instagram began.

Global Mads started in 2019 which accidentally became a gap year thanks to my “yes man” attitude. I’ve never been more thankful for that year, given the shit show that was 2020 - 2021. In 2019 I went on a skiing holiday to Japan with my dad, brother and cousin. Walked the Milford Track in New Zealand with my mum. Spent 3 months in Europe with my 2 best friends. Followed by a last minute trip to America and a cruise in the Bahamas. 

Global Mads went on the backburner during covid, as lets be honest I wasn’t being very global. Now that life is resuming and we’re making up for our lost years, my boyfriend (Justin) and I have decided to move to London (an original Aussie dream). Justin and I love adventure and this will be our biggest one yet. I can’t wait to share with you all the places we go, our amazing experiences and guaranteed itineraries.
