What have you been up to?

Ambitious. Curious. Journalist.

This is my personal blog where you can walk in my stilettos to find out what I'm up to as an apprentice reporter at a newspaper company in Suffolk.
I graduated a year ago and I have finally found a little job where I'm getting paid to come into the office once a week, where I will build up the trust of sub-editors to carry out more and more tasks.
This will hopefully guide me on the right path to my ideal journalism career.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings! Feel free to get involved and join me on my journey.
I will appreciate all advice, as well as hopefully providing advice and open discussions to those who haven't a clue on where they will end up in the journalistic field...

People who are already successful journalists, please get in touch!

Thoughts on starting a seperate travel blog? Becoming a feature writer/reviewer

HELP AND ADVICE WANTED!


I have major wanderlust and I’m always travelling. So I need to find what I can specialise in when it comes to my Journalism degree..

Hospitality - I’ve worked in the restaurant and hotel industry since I was 4 so maybe I can start reviewing places and becoming a critic?

Travel - I’m always going on holiday and I take pictures of literally everything (like a proper tourist) and I feel the need to write about my entire holiday in diary form or one event at a time in detail. The boyfriend and I aim to go skiing as well as Tokyo when we save enough money! I wish I started writing earlier because I would have had Australia and Florida and South Africa to write about also…Hopefully I will save enough to go back.

Food - I love food. I’m always dining out in restaurants and need to find more places that not many people know about. I could be a potential food critic on the side because of the knowledge of working in a 4* hotel and restaurant, as well as working in this field since the age of 14.

Culture - I’m a people’s person and I am always interested in different cultures and what they have to say. Hence travel and culture would be an interesting subject. 

I need some advice from anyone who has become successful in their speciality blogging, or anyone who has become a popular blogger. Help will be appreciated!
