How a Solo Woman Traveler Explores the World

In honor of International Women’s Day, we’re spotlighting Local Guide Vandana, a Bangalorean who is exploring the world on her own and wants to inspire other women to do the same through her contributions on Google Maps. Watch as she shares why she loves to travel solo and how she’s helping other women travelers as a member of Google's Local Guides program.

How does she earn money? I am pretty sure Google does not pay her because local guides is only voluntary. Really curious
