During her placement at FINN Partners, Dharshinee refined her pitch writing skills, adapting to the fast-paced environment of a PR office and developing her understanding of using Onclusive for speedy reporting on coverage alerts. In her final week, she landed coverage in The Sun, a very apt booking for her next four-week placement. 

Following her time with FINN Partners, Dharshinee moved to The Sun, where she got straight to work writing destination exclusives and articles for Sun Club, The Sun鈥檚 subscription-based platform. She enjoyed spending the days writing, learning what a tabloid newspaper looks for and developing her skills and technique as a travel writer. 

She particularly enjoyed researching summer events happening across the UK and looking up free museums for a listicle piece. She refined her knowledge of putting together articles and features in WordPress, working on different styles of formatting and adding imagery from The Sun鈥檚 portal.  

Dharshinee says: 鈥淚t鈥檚 been a whirlwind to say the least 鈥� the last eight weeks have shown me where my interests lie and the variety in this industry. I鈥檝e even developed a portfolio of my published pieces. 

鈥淏est of all, I can finally reveal that FINN Partners has offered me a job as an assistant account executive and I鈥檓 due to start on 10 August! I’m really grateful for Step Up and how this scheme has truly changed my life for the better.鈥�

At her time with Intrepid, Nasreen attended the annual ABTA PR Training for Travel and Tourism event, hosted by 8020 Communications. It was a valuable opportunity to network with industry professionals and learn about strategic communications planning, as well as the challenges and opportunities that AI presents for travel PR. 

For her final task, Nasreen prepared and presented a communications campaign to the PR team.

Nasreen is currently working on a long-form piece she pitched to the team about whether health trackers are helpful or harmful to our health. She鈥檚 greatly improved her writing skills, gained a wealth of insight from the editors and feels confident about entering the journalism space.  

Nasreen said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 been amazing to be part of the Living360 team over the last month and learn how its editorial team works. I鈥檝e had a taste of so many different areas of editorial, from writing for newspaper supplements and pitching story ideas to using SEO tools to identify trends and develop engaging content.  

鈥淚鈥檝e learned so much from the editors and their feedback has really helped me grow as a writer. I feel much more confident in my abilities and I鈥檓 excited to use the skills I鈥檝e acquired during this internship throughout my journalism career.鈥�

This meeting launched the 鈥楥offee with a photographer鈥� format, which will see more of National Geographic Traveller (UK)鈥檚 photographers invited to share their professional insights in the future. Coming up is an exclusive interview with  an award-winning outdoor and documentary photographer based in the UK. 

Of the experience, Ben said: 鈥淲ith travel photographers based all around the world, the chance to meet one in person is few and far between. On a recent trip to Italy, I was lucky enough to catch up with one of our regular photographers, Francesco Lastrucci. Between slices of pizza and sips of coffee, we got into his process and perspective.鈥� 

Read the full interview with Francesco Lastrucci below: 

BR: How did you get into travel photography?   

FL: As a documentary photographer, I see travel photography as a natural extension of my work. Beyond my endless wanderlust, I鈥檓 drawn to travel photography because it allows me to engage with and develop themes that are central to my documentary practice. These include the relationship between people and their environment, conservation and sustainable ways of living, as well as the complexity of culture and daily life. 

BR: Which destination shoot stands out as your favourite?   

FL:听It鈥檚听one of the hardest questions to ask a photographer who falls in love with every place they visit and capture! Still, it鈥檚 usually places听I鈥檝e听formed a strong bond with, including the colourful magical realism of Colombia鈥檚 Atlantic coast, the lush and mystical landscapes of South India and the enigmatic heart of inner Sardinia鈥檚听karst plateaus.听听

BR: What is your dream location to capture?   

FL: My dream location is one that invites you to dig deeper: a layered place that isn鈥檛 immediately obvious, but reveals its beauty catching you by surprise as you come to understand it. Some places on my wish list include China鈥檚 Sichuan region for the mix of landscapes, modern life and ancient heritage, as well as the dense forests between the Mexican state of Campeche and Guatemala鈥檚 Pet茅n department with all their biodiversity.
