Breathedreamgo.com, a blog about India
published by Canadian travel writer Mariellen Ward, was awarded Platinum status
and recognized as one of the top 50 Indian blogs of 2012 by Indian Top Blogs.
"I'm thrilled about this recognition
as Breathedreamgo is one of the only blogs on the list by a non-Indian, and it
is one of only five travel blogs cited," said Mariellen Ward. "It is
an extraordinary honour to be included."

Top Indian blogs says: “We can claim that
all the Platinum rated blogs are among the top-most blogs on India and by
Indians. We’d also like to claim that in ranking blogs, we have been as fair as
is humanly possible.”

and has steadily built a strong following. In February, Breathedreamgo won an
