Colleen Gilliland

Counselor

Colleen grew up deep in the piney woods of East Texas, where she spent much of her childhood on the lake wakeboarding, surfing, skiing, and enjoying all things outdoors. School and soccer took her to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, where she earned her degree in Biology and played soccer at the Division 1 level. Her love for travel began early, thanks to family trips across the U.S. and abroad, fueling her passion for exploring new cultures and destinations. With extensive experience working with kids and a deep love for travel, Colleen is thrilled to spend the summer sharing her enthusiasm for adventure and cultural exploration with Travel for Teens! When she’s not traveling, you can find Colleen running, hiking, coaching soccer, baking, or planning her next big adventure.
