I enjoyed the Wanderlust Series by Hayo Magazine at One Roof Women in Culver City. The speakers shared their hopes, dreams, travels and experiences. I filmed most of the answers from the panel but not all of the questions. I hope Joanna Riquett, founder and Editor In Chief of Hayo Magazine, will return again soon for another event.
