April Teppe has released a new track that will have you dancing around your living room as you peruse this gift guide! Her new single which is out now on Spotify is called ‘Girl Gone International’ and celebrates every brave womxn who has ever packed a suitcase and headed out into the world to see what would happen next! “I wanted to show love to every woman who like me left everything and everyone she knew in search of adventure, experience and ultimately, herself. I wanted to send a message that you don’t have to always go on this journey on your own.”
