Boot Camp Testimonials

Read on for testimonials from our Quito Boot Camp:

"I learned more about travel writing this week than I did during a 2 month internship elsewhere. It has provided me with a realistic insight into the industry, along with all the essential knowledge."

"I think for people starting out, it was very comprehensive and covered all the general bases. I liked that it wasn't assumed that attendees already had this background."

"In general I learned much more in a very practical way than any of my university courses. Felt like everything necessary was covered very well and not romanticized in the way journalism can often be. Felt the strongest points were the field work, since experience covered anything that may have been misconceived if taught in lectures only."

"It helped me to better understand whether travel writing is a potential career for me."

"It was very useful to get an idea about what it's like to be a travel writer in general."

"I enjoyed it very much and found it really useful."

"I got what I wanted out of this. Thanks!"
