Perfect timing!

I received an e-mail from my internship supervisor for The Florentine this morning informing me that my Switzerland article was published in this week's issue! I found a minor mistake, but hopefully it's fixed soon. See it here :)

And some personal photos, some of which I've posted on my travel blog, but that's okay:

Hello!

I was abroad in Florence, Italy last semester when, during my second interview with The Florentine, Giacomo (my supervisor-to-be) said "Would you like to go to Switzerland and write an article for our student issue?" I was ecstatic. OF COURSE! I jumped at the opportunity.

While in Florence, I decided that the Switzerland trip would be the beginning of the documentation of what I hope will be an exciting journalism career.

It's not just about the free travel perks. Or free anything. For the past few years, journalism has provided so many opportunities for me to meet the best people, learn new things, and go places. Literally, figuratively. I love it. Even when I think I'm not good enough to write, report, observe, DO THIS, I immediately realize that a) I am and b) I can't imagine doing anything else. I think there's so much out there not to care. And people are so interesting. We all have stories to tell.

So here's to my journey! (And hopefully some great stories).
