Women in Travel Talk: Wanderlust SeriesI enjoyed the Wanderlust Series by Hayo Magazine at One Roof Women in Culver City. The speakers shared their hopes, dreams, travels and experiences. I filmed most of the answers from the panel  but not all of the questions. I hope Joanna Riquett, founder and Editor In Chief of Hayo Magazine, will return again soon for another event.

Traveling is the most rewarding action we can take in order to develop our own personalities. Traveling solo is an experience that you should have at least once in your lifetime, however, it can be as exciting as it can be terrifying.

Women are exposed to different levels of precautions and many times the fear of traveling alone prevents them from going on solo adventures. This Wanderlust event is focused on courageous women that have dared to get out of their comfort zone to go on solo trips, debunk social stereotypes, open their minds to new adventures and build careers and businesses out of it.

The Wanderlust Series is created by Hayo Magazine to open a space to talk about how travel and other cultures positively impact our lives and businesses, to inspire people to open their minds to new adventures into the unknown and to forge a community of fearless explorers.

In partnership with One Roof Women, a community for nurturing and inspiring women that are making in happen, Wanderlust is coming to Los Angeles with a stellar group of speakers. Kellee Edwards, Aida Mollenkamp, Shauna Nep and Heather Lilleston come from very different backgrounds and interests that will make this an interesting and rich conversation.

Men: please join us as well. You should be as much part of the conversation as any other woman!
