Author + Storyteller

Freedom, reinvention & starting Over

Desperate to travel, Angela left her conservative home in Texas at the age of 19 looking for freedom… and herself. She moved to Florida for love, Thailand for adventure and Australia to build a life – but flights were easier to find than what she was searching for. 

Along the way she questioned everything she believed, lost herself in a controlling relationship, navigated visa nightmares and rebuilt her life from scratch. Through heartbreak, humor, spirituality and more than a few glasses of wine, she slowly learned to trust her unexplainable and sometimes crazy whims, and discovered the opportunities in every wrong turn.

Facing the Sun is a memoir about following your intuition, losing yourself in love, finding home on the other side of the world, and discovering that the freedom you were searching for was inside you all along.

It’s only a short trip. Enjoy it.

Angela Killian was born and raised in Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas. At 19, she moved to Florida on a whim and has been traveling ever since. She lived in Thailand for five years and has called Australia home since 2016. Along the way, she’s visited more than 30 countries across five continents.

If you’re ever on the Gold Coast, you’ll probably see her pacing along the beach while talking to her twin sister back in Texas.

Angela’s weekends revolve around deciding what to cook and who’s coming over to eat it. Her husband is always nearby to taste-test and pour the drinks. In their house, it’s never too early for a good conversation… or a glass of wine.
