Thank you to Mariellen Ward of the award-winning travel blog, Breathedreamgo and custom travel company, India for Beginners for rising at 4:30 am India time to join us for our February Solo Traveler Insiders Speaker Series! Over the course of an hour, Mariellen offered her advice as an India travel expert, a solo traveler, and a Canadian living in Rishikesh and answered all of our attendees' questions. At the end of the session, one lucky participant received a personal one-on-one travel planning session, generously donated by Mariellen.
