Gillian Larson, Dream it, Believe it, Prepare for it, DO IT ! – Gillian Larson has never satisfied her appetite for adventure and travel despite her wide array of experiences throughout her 69 years. She has traveled through 46 countries and all but a few U.S. states, much of it backpacking. Not only is she versatile, but she is competitive by nature and feels as though she was a perfect fit for the game of SURVIVOR, she applied 20 times and never gave up . She always believed she would one day be selected and was for Gabon…She is an inspiration to young and old alike.
Married 45 years to her husband, Ron, Gillian has three married daughters and seven grandchildren. Born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, retired after working as a registered nurse for 41years in many fields, she now devotes her time to making a difference in people’s lives.
