Hi, my name is Gilgamesh…my friends call me Gil. Gil the Travelling Gecko!
I live in an airport and am always travelling to new and exciting places around the world. I hide in one of the suitcases that pass by my front door at the airport. Then, a few hours later I arrive in a new country.
How exciting is that?
Why don’t you join me on my adventures around the world. Or as I call it, Gil’s World.
You can see them through my eyes. Together we can discover what the different destinations are like, who lives there, what they eat, how they talk.
Maybe we will even meet some new friends.
After I have visited a new place I write a book about my visit. You can buy my books on Amazon
My new ‘Gil’s World’ book has just been released!

Gil Visits The Great Barrier Reef ….
On this adventure Gil visits The Great Barrier Reef in Australia, to meet his friend Mick the duck-billed platypus. He had always wanted to visit the most famous coral reef in the world and finally he got an invitation.
Gil gets called ‘daggy’ because he laughed so much at Pete the Koala who had ‘goona pains. Pete accidentally teaches Gil what a poo-man and poo tickets are.
He tries ‘Croc and Dead Horse’ and finds that despite the name, it is really nice. Gil gets a shock from a kangaroo and finds out that some starfish are not very nice at all.

“To travel is to learn”
– Gil the Travelling Gecko
When you travel you learn about new languages, new places, new cultures, new foods, new music and new ways to look at things.
Best of all you get to meet new friends with me at Gil’s World .
In the coming months I will be releasing several new books about my adventures as I visit different countries.
I will learn a few words of the language, try some of the local food and meet some new friends.

Gil the Travelling Gecko
Gil enjoys to learn new languages but sometimes he misunderstands some of the foreign words. Sometimes, he ends up saying things he didn’t mean. These words can get him in trouble, but mostly they make his friends laugh.
Gil dashes headlong into every adventure with an open mind and a child-like curiosity which is fun for everyone.
