42 days away!!!!!!!

The countdown has started! It's 42 days until eight Ball State University students and myself travel to Budapest, Hungary. I personally cannot wait to see all that Budapest has to offer. How is it that a girl like me ends up going to Hungary you ask? Well, it all began when I decided I want to be an international reporter. I wanted to spend my life informing people on what is going on in the world. So, when there was an opportunity to join the News 397 immersive team to Budapest, I took advantage of it.  

We are going to be doing travel writing and travel promotion. It’ll be great to see and get to experience all of the interesting things there are in Budapest. 

Now the team and I have to prepare. Just a few days ago we had a meeting with a student, Jake Johnson, who was part of the same immersive class to Budapest, just two years ago. He discussed the best places to see, the importance of research, and things to talk to Hungarians about. 

We also had a meeting with an editor from M Magazine. She is willing to work with us and help us publish some of the work we produce. 

I can’t wait to start researching all of my story ideas. This trip is going to be a great trip with a great group of people!
