How has interning at APL 91快播 been so far?
My first week at APL 91快播 was really insightful. The team has been so welcoming, and I鈥檝e loved seeing how National Geographic Traveller (UK) comes together behind the scenes! It鈥檚 amazing to see the process of making the magazine.
What are you most looking forward to learning?
I鈥檓 excited to learn more about the editorial side of publications, from what makes a high-quality piece of travel writing to how to build effective newsletters from scratch. I鈥檇 also like to get more confident with SEO, develop my own travel writing skills and grow my understanding of what makes successful social media posts and marketing campaigns.
What is your dream job in journalism?
My dream job would be to be a features writer covering a range of topics, from travel and food to the environment and social issues. I would also love to be able to provide photography to accompany my writing!
What鈥檚 one of your most memorable travel experiences?
A few summers ago, I visited some of the filming locations from Call Me By Your Name in northern Italy with my cousin. We went to the featured spots in Crema and to a nature reserve in Capralba. It was extremely satisfying to match up the film stills with real life!
