Thank you for sharing about yourself. I was touched by your journey and where it has taken you. You risked and followed your passion. You are an inspiration.

Hi Mariellen,

You are lucky to have such a defined niche – it makes it very easy for the consumer to keep your website top-of-mind.

I adore India, so am heading off to read your blog now!

I love the UK and consider that one my niches. I’m also passionate about social and eco travel. I believe that travelers could be “goodwill ambassadors” when they travel to foreign lands. Perhaps we wouldn’t have all these issues in the world if people would stop and think for a moment that their country is not the only in the world

Interesting. I think having a niche is really important as readers can build on the topic knowledge each time they visit you. I really enjoy wine touring and I love the personal stories of winery owners, which is why I started my wine column http://www.examiner.com/x-30550-Halifax-Wine-Examiner
Hope the next trip to India is as fulfilling as the last.

Hi Cheryl,

You’re lucky your husband also became so enamoured of your “soul culture.” Now you can enjoy it together.

I didn’t have that worry: my partner is Indian, from Delhi! He gives me so much insight into the authentic culture, and our relationship is my greatest bond with India.

My problem is, he is enamoured with western culture! I want to go to yoga ashrams in India and he wants to go to the mall in Toronto. We have a very funny east-meets-west mash-up. Makes life interesting, that’s for sure.

Thanks for commenting.

Loved your post! It’s why I specialize in China, especially Beijing. There is just something that fascinates me about this country. And my husband. He didn’t want to go to China the first time I wanted to go after we were married. I threatened to go by myself — he said I wasn’t capable. Ha! Like I’d spent the last 30 years traveling around the world without him, and had already made 10 trips to China, including living in Beijing for two years, when we married. He fought the trip all the way, but two hours after we got there, he was already making plans for our next trip. Now he wants to go live there for a year. Go figure!
