Learning the value of international traveling and the knowledge that comes with it, was something I was taught 7 years ago. For the first time,I was able to incorporate that with my passion for journalism and my hope is to share the incredible educational avenues the #RIASBerlin program allowed me to have with my viewing audience. Our amazing group of
journalists also fueled my fire for journalism even more. What I’m reminded anytime that I’m outside of America is that in many ways we are all similar and many of us are battling the same issues. However, we also have some major differences between cultures and countries. The questions: Can we learn from them? Will it make us better? Sharing stories that matter, letting people ponder all sides to make better informed decisions.
