Neha Sonwalkar, a confident and determined single mother from Indore, who, despite of having a full time corporate job to support her son and herself, refuses to let that stop her from prioritizing solo travel.

An avid reader and a passionate rider she thinks that traveling solo tends to push one far and beyond the known boundaries and it definitely taught her about her fullest capacities and biggest weaknesses really are. Solo travelling came into her life when she was going through a bad phase and for keeping her sane she traveled to Solapur and Tuljapur from Pune. For her traveling is just not journey outside but it is actually a journey inside.

It is one of the best gifts one could give them and she is glad she chooses to give herself one of these. She has explored many states in India and plans to cover all of them in future.
