Where our students are going this year

What do El Hierro, Nepal, Cairo, and Berlin have in common? They’re all destinations chosen by students of the School of Travel Journalism. From spiritual retreats in the Himalayas to slum art projects in Kampala, this year’s master’s students are proving that travel journalism is not about ticking off places—it’s about telling stories that matter.

Reflect, Question, Narrate.

Four critical perspectives on Fürsich and Kavoori’s framework come together in these essays by Master’s students in Travel Journalism. Through personal and collective reflections, each group explores the ethical, narrative, and cultural challenges of contemporary travel journalism. From cultural representation to the role of influencers, this summary celebrates diverse voices and a shared commitment to more conscious, responsible storytelling.

Chairs, Chants, and the Ethics of Witnessing

In this powerful reflection, Kenzy Samir explores what it means to tell sacred stories ethically. With the image of a white plastic chair as a symbol of humility and presence, she invites us to rethink the role of the travel journalist—not as an observer, but as a quiet witness at the edge of the story.

From the Ghetto to the Gallery

This post combines personal narrative, academic reflection, and strategic communication to present a transformative Master’s Project: turning Katwe’s slum into Uganda’s largest open-air gallery through the voices and hands of Street Kids. From marketing insights to ethical storytelling, this is journalism with purpose.
