Since I was a snotty-nosed kid my lifelong dream has been to become a travel reporter. Telling people about fabulous destinations through stories, pictures, and souvenirs is something I love to do. Part of the reason is to encourage others to travel because in my opinion, it is the best way for people to learn about themselves.
Granted, traveling is supposed to be fun; with every new place providing an exhilarating experience, but the truth is, it is hard work. It is not for the timid; it is for the brave soul who dares to try the mystery meat, dares to climb the steep cliff, and for the person who will embrace every facet of the culture.
My interest in this program is beyond satisfying six hours of credits. I want to go to Puerto Rico because I have been patiently waiting to take a course like this since I was wide-eyed freshman. This opportunity would allow me to develop my skills in travel writing and broadcasting.
All things Latin fascinate me. The food, the people, the culture, the language, and history are all aspects that I am knowledgeable in, and I am eager to learn so much more. I love to be challenged and complete projects on a deadline. This trip will provide plenty of opportunities that will allow me to try something new, even if, I am hesitant.
I am eager to participate in this program because it is will serve as a catalyst to what follows graduation. My ultimate career goal is to have a travel show that mimics Anthony Bourdain.
I’m a fast, light packer, and I cannot wait for the adventures on the “Island of Enchantment.” ¡Buen viaje!
