“Spice of Life” Tour in Chicago’s “Little India”

Standard

Spring Break may be getting in the way of my blogging, but I need to live life to write about it.

And boy, do I have stories to tell!

First of all though, check out my adventures in “Little India” with Mohammad Ali’s “Spice of Life” food and culture tour.

You can learn more about the tours on the website here.

My first WIT Summit!

Standard

Globe-Going-300

The Women in Travel Summit, hosted by Go Girl Travel this weekend March 14-16, is not only my first, but the first ever conference for women travel bloggers!

Held in Chicago at the Palmer House Hotel, it’s going to be an awesome weekend of networking, story-swapping and advice on making money while writing a travel blog.

My dream job, right there.

Now, this blog may not focus so much on travel, but I’m hoping that with the tips from super-successful travel bloggers, I can give Masala FM a little makeover 🙂

After all, travel doesn’t have to be about leaving the country. You don’t even have to move from the couch! Some of my favorite adventures around the world have begun and ended in Bollywood films and world music and dance.

I don’t have to see the world to appreciate it!

But it would still be nice to combine what I need to do (make money) with things I really want to do (writing and travel). Who doesn’t want to earn a living doing what they love!

And that’s why I’ll be at the WIT Summit this weekend, making friends, taking names (and lots of notes) and learning how to make a career out of this weird freelance media-writer-radio-blogger mish-mash I’ve got going on.

And don’t worry! I will be documenting the whole thing for you all to enjoy.

With any luck I will even have my brand-new camera to help me out.
