Half way through my undergraduate studies I realized something...I really like to write. I think issues that I am very passionate about and things I am curious about are best shown to the rest of the world through journalism. I created this blog to document my upcoming adventures. Instead of the traditional blog style of writing copious amounts of seemingly redundant rambling that forces you, the reader, to either skim or stop reading, I have decided to document my life (specifically my travels) through photos, videos and some narrative/storytelling. This is an up and coming form of journalism: multimedia journalism...one where the viewer/reader gets the whole package.
On December 18th 2012 I leave the Redwood Curtain and Arcata, California behind me and head back to visit family and friends in the winter wonderland of Wisconsin.
Then, on January 3rd, 2013 I leave for Montreal, Canada via Toronto for two months of a Full Time French Immersion Study Program. A homestay with a local Francophone family will enhance my experience.
Finally, on March 3rd 2013 I leave the frozen tundra for the sunny beach town of Limbe, Cameroon, West Africa. This is where I will stay working and *hopefully* interning for the next 5 months. It is here, in the heart of the Cameroonian rainforest, where I will film, photograph, interview and write about all of the wonders (and problems) in Cameroon.
I hope everyone enjoys my first attempt at journalism!
Thank you :)
