THE AUSTRALIAN 

"Reilly doesn't know if she will visit Australia before the election - although "A Current Affair" and Today Tonight (and maybe even "The 7.30 Report") will be falling over themselves to get her on camera is she does."

SUNDAY TERRITORIAN 

"One of my funnier experiences in Darwin was when I was in the Miss Australia Awards," she (Gabrielle Reilly) said. "We were all dressed up and taken on a beautiful champagne, sunset hovercraft cruise. There was not a toilet on board and many of the girls on board were just busting to go after a glass or two of champagne. The hovercraft pulled up on a sandbank in the middle of nowhere and all your saw was a bunch of contestants running down the beach in formal wear to glamorously squat in one of the few areas with any scrub." (We were all worried about crocs grabbing us.)

Sometimes I wonder what the odds are of a once frizzy-haired kid like me, running bare foot through the streets of Papua New Guinea and sleeping in the bush in the Outback Australia... growing up to be able to live the life that I do. 

My weeks are spent chatting with billionaires, supermodels, movie stars, political leaders, world champion athletes and anyone else who might be at the top of their industry.  I attend premier events and places that includes everything from the House of Lords with Harry and William strolling around as the Lords play magic tricks on me, to being trained by the FBI to shoot automatic weapons, to standing next to the Governor of South Australia in the VIP box on the finish line of the Tour Down under as Lance Armstrong tears by with a peloton of cyclists on his tail.  I can never calculate the exact odds of my luck, but I do know the magnitude of my gratefulness is infinite.

I was born in Darwin, Australia.  I spent six years in the Australian bush in Kalamunda, a suburb of Perth, catching deadly snakes and training wild kookaburra's to sit on my shoulder (think Steve Irwin.)  For three years I ran barefoot in Papua New Guinea growing up with the native kids.  I kayaked from island to island through the Indonesian archipelago and explored the mountains and volcanoes long before the rise of international tourism (and terrorism.)  My family and I caught  rickety old boats with the pigs and the chickens to remote islands in Thailand where there wasn't even a pier; we had to jump onto a plank of wood and pull ourselves to shore by rope. One of my favorite pastimes is sleeping under a million stars in Alice Springs in the Australian Outback where I lived for 15 years.

I have ridden elephants in Asia, camels around the Pyramids, been dog sledding in the Arctic, took a sampan (a Vietnamese row boat) through the North Vietnam jungle, rode horses through the ocean in the Caribbean, big game fishing on the Great Barrier Reef... and on and on.  Life has been an exquisite tapestry for me and you could comfortably call me an adventure traveler.

I moved to Kansas City 15 years ago and I'm thrilled to call it my home. 

Besides living in Australia, America and Papua New Guinea, I have collectively spent years travelling throughout 5 of the 7 continents.

So how did I come to do what I do now?  When I was five or six, I admired Mother Teresa for her love and kindness to humanity; in fact I wanted to be a nun. I was also drawn to Martin Luther King for his ability to move people for the greater good.  But then Wonder Woman came along and changed the course of my life... she had a much better marketing package than Mother Teresa.  I knew at six that I would grow up to deal with world leaders, help humanity and package myself like Wonder Woman. It wasn't just a "knowing" it was an intense vision with a light hazy glow around it.  In fact many of the successful people I interview talk of having such a passion or a vision when they were about 5 or 6.

So instead of becoming a nun, I became a model.  My main focus is international affairs of course given my international background and unique perspective.  I have spoken with media around the world on many heated topics like international elections and Abu Graib prison etc.   I got a huge following around the world as you can see by this graph of my early website:

 



I started The Global Townhall about 2 years ago.  I interview international celebrities who are at the top of their industry to find out how they got there hoping that some of their pearls of wisdom will influence our readers (and me.)  I adamantly believe "you become who you surround yourself with."  I also help with human rights issues and global stability.  Some of the people I have interviewed include supermodel Kathy Ireland, billionaire T Boone Pickens, Italian opera singer André Bocelli and Senator Roberts.  Many of my guests are friends or often become so throughout the interview process so my database is filled with incredible diversity from Lords of London, supermodels, actors and astronauts. 

So, life has turned out as big as my hopes and dreams.  I consider myself to be a "life" sculptor.  Like an artist, I have visions of what I want, where I want to go, who I want to meet, then I let it burn in my belly.  Somehow that vision appears on the canvas of my life in 3D. So, after coming from really rugged beginnings, I dreamed big, took risks and beat the odds but the burning in my belly is telling me I have only just began...
