07. YouTube and long-distance marriage w/Gia Day

Gia Day got married this summer, and jumped on a plane to France a month later! We talk about how to make a relationship work long distance, and of course the joys of YouTube!

Gia is playing for Venelles in the top French League. She played college volleyball at Baylor University, and is now in her first professional European season here in France.  This 22yr old outside hitter has overcome surgeries, being far from her husband and the ever-present language barriers to dive headfirst into life as a pro overseas. Not only is she a bundle of joy and positivity, but she is also a YouTuber! She vlogs about her experiences, her travels and her strong faith. We bonded over our non-conventional views of the world as well as our love of b-roll and capturing experiences through video. 

See a full day in her life on the YouTube episode we filmed together here!
