Feature story with a clear angle on slow tourism and territorial distribution, based on an interview with the president of the Castile and León tour guides federation, with a focus on narrative, challenges, and interpretive experience.
Narrative walk through Stratford-upon-Avon reframed through Hamnet and Agnes, moving from Anne Hathaway’s Cottage to the Birthplace, New Place, and Holy Trinity Church, using sensory detail and an emotional itinerary to translate oral storytelling into written form.
Reflective post that clearly connects the theory of the personal travel essay (disciplined subjectivity, arc of transformation, structure) with a concrete redesign of the FMP in São Miguel: shifting from a heritage inventory to a narrative question with tension (“continuity on unstable ground”). Ready to publish with minor adjustments: reduce the tone of “unit summary” and add a micro-scene/reporting moment that embodies the friction in the field.
Reflective chronicle set in a Brussels reception centre, built around a sharp ethical contrast between migration necessity and tourism marketing. Strong sensory setting, nuanced refusal to villainise tourists, and a clear decision to “make the dilemma visible” rather than moralise. Minor edits to publish: specify concrete ethical safeguards (consent/anonymity), reassess potentially stigmatising detail about a minor, add one line of contextual grounding, and trim repeated framing in the ending.
Article that analyzes the positioning of Ticino (“Mediterranean heart of Switzerland”) from concepts in the masterclass (marketing, sustainability, overtourism, purpose-driven travel, innovation/AI, legacy, and community inclusion). To publish with greater impact: add verifiable data, at least one additional non-institutional source, and a concrete example for each axis (sustainability/low season/innovation).
Ethical reflection based on a Travel Photography class (Anibal Bueno) on photographing children, consent, and monetization; professional judgment and a responsible approach.
A personal reflection on how the journalistic principle of “finding an angle” helped the author see beyond Morocco’s tourist image — uncovering a deeper, more complex reality through the story of Amza, a young refugee.
A beautifully written, reflective blog post that draws a powerful connection between a travel photography experience in Rome and the student’s approach to documenting Frederiksberg for their Final Master’s Project. Explores the shift from spectacle to presence in travel writing.
From inner journeys to cultural discovery, our STJ students redefine what travel means in 2025. This post explores the most compelling definitions submitted during Assignment 1 and reflects on their relevance to modern travel journalism.
A narrative travel piece blending oral storytelling techniques with written craft to portray the charm, stillness, and emotional resonance of Balestrand, a village in western Norway. Through local stories, poetic observations, and personal reflection, the article evokes a deep connection to nature, history, and the enduring capacity for wonder.
