Description
Everyone asks me-- How can I travel like you? This entry level class starts you on the path to learn about all the skills needed to become a travel journalist from writing to reels from social media to networking and beyond.
What is on your bucket list? After working full time in travel at Club Med, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean International, and Renaissance cruises for seven years, I backpacked in Asia for nearly three years. I pivoted to being a travel journalist and have been paid to write about some of the most incredible experiences from a luxury African safari, a Relais and Chateaux yacht in the Galapagos to a walk with polar bears and wolves in Canada. I have written about my travels in publications from AARP to WIRED and shared my travel videos in Smithsonian Magazine, on KTLA TV and many other TV programs across the USA.
