I have acquired the confidence to present my work to the world, and I am pleased to report I have published a number of articles to date in various media outlets, including Out and About with Kids and Traveltalk magazines.
I learned how to make myself heard in the huge global market, where so many good writers disappear in an instant.
I finally dare to consider myself a travel journalist, and this self-confidence is worth more than anything.
The idea of earning enough money writing while travelling at the same time was always a dream of mine, and I feel so lucky to be in this position.
Since finishing the course, I have been asked to write marketing and promotional materials for a find-a-local-tour-guide phone app.
