One of the many famous quotes: "We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us!" GALS is designed for the added-value of developing travel friendships around the world. It is our desire that you'll explore the world of adventure with us.

Tammy was born right here in Billings Mt but has lived in Powell and Laramie Wyoming. She has knocked several countries off her live it list with the Gals Going Global and is excited to keep traveling with them. One of her favorite trips was to Iceland where she got to experience the Northern lights for the first time. Tammy has 4 grandkids that keep her busy and she enjoys paddle boarding, hiking, and snowmobiling.

Cindy is the Gals Going Global President!
Cindy was born in southern California where her daughter, niece and nephew continue to live. The desire to travel was introduced at a young age by her grandmother. Cindy loved her 44 year career as a medical social worker.
In addition to traveling, Cindy's passions involve time with family and friends, learning all cultures, reading, hiking and volunteering with her church, homeowners association and now with GALS. It is a good thing she retired in 2021 in order to enjoy all of these things!

Linda Sokoloski holds the world by the tail. Having traveled much of the world herself, she is GALS designated agency partner and finds new worlds to discover EVERY.SINGLE.YEAR! Linda has been in the travel business for over 40 years and is the owner of L.S. Global Travel in Billings MT.
She calls Roberts her home living on 30 acres in a log home on Rock Creek which is home to her 2 horses, 3 cats, moose, deer and turkeys. Linda loves to garden and canning keeps her busy late summer but loves the WORLD Before Her!

Julie grew up in northern Illinois but moved to Montana to attend the U of M in 1965. She married a Helena boy and stayed. She spent her working years as a nurse, retiring in 2002. Now she spends her playing years traveling, reading, quilting and trying to teach her grandkids all the things she thinks they should know.

I was born and raised in ND and after living in FL and TN for a bit I've called Billings home for over 30 years. As a retired elementary teacher, my love of learning continues to thrive. When I'm not
planning my next trip you’ll probably find me with a paintbrush in my hand - I love crafting - or spending time with my two
wonderful children and my two adorable grandsons (being "Grammy" is the best title I’ve ever had!). My first trip with Gals Going Global was to beautiful Portugal and it was an absolute dream. It was my
first time traveling abroad and I couldn’t have asked for a better group of women to share that adventure with. I believe life is meant to be explored, celebrated, and shared - and I’m so grateful to doing just that with Gals Going Global.

Bev Silkwood is a retired teacher, avid reader, and lifelong learner. Her adventures have primarily centered around white-water river trips, backpacking, and cross-country skiing. Her first venture with Gals Going Global was an incredible trip to Kenya. The country, the people, and their cultures were fascinating, but equally enjoyable was meeting and making lasting friendships with the eight other Gals on the trip. She is anticipating more travel adventures and loves the variety of trips offered.

Alice got the "travel bug" after an awesome trip to Africa right after 911! And since then she enjoys adventuresome travel--riverboat cruise down the Amazon, fishing in Belize and enjoying Iceland in January! Alice serves as the organization's secretary.
