A mom. A traveller. A solopreneur. We welcome guest speaker Madeline Jhawar who lives in the Bay area in California with her husband and two teenage children. In between, Madeline moved 10 times, and spent 5 years working and living in Italy. Her spark, her story is all about how she turned her passion into her mission by doing what she loved the most. With fair amount of challenges from being a new parent to a busy life, she created her dream Italy trips for people having no idea whether it would work since she was not following a travel agent business model. Through dedication and hard work, Italy Beyond the Obvious was launched. Thirteen years later, she now has two trip planners and a project manager working for her - and clients who regularly ask "who else does what you do for other countries?". Believing in her expertise and her inner strength she started her second business that teaches people with deep expertise on how to start their own online travel business. She believes that helping travelers connect to foreign cultures makes the world a better place.

Lucky or not, we are surrounded by people in our everyday life. Some make a difference, some not so much. But there are a few that make you realize their worth along with yours. They are simply ... the shooting star that stands within the darkened sky. No matter what you are feeling and where you are in life, find your people that put a smile on your face. It makes a world of a difference.
