Hello Everyone!

I just recently assumed a position as a freelance travel editor for several publications and am delighted to dedicate the knowledge I’ve gained over the past four years from college and apply those skills to a real-world experience. I will be writing, reporting, and photographing on culture and travel from Spain, France, and Portugal. While this opportunity propels me into a great career position, funds on behalf of the platforms are limited and will not entirely cover the costs needed for me to produce meaningful media. The support I am asking from you all will allow me to curate as much content as possible over several months. Your patronage will cover accommodation costs, airfare to and within Europe, some equipment costs for documentation, and incidentals during my time there. Most importantly, the funding from you all will give me the opportunity to produce valuable insight for individuals unaware of the benefits of world travel, its feasibility, and its worth.

After venturing to Mexico, Spain, and Portugal within the last two years, I realized travel is not just a hobby of mine, but a necessity for me to feel in touch with the world around me. Reporting on culture and travel can empower others to become well-equipped with the tools needed to explore the globe and find merit in leaving a community for a short or extended period of time.

 

A little bit about myself:

I recently graduated in May from The New School in New York City and degreed in Journalism + Design with departmental honors. The work experience I gained over the past four years of college grounds itself in editorial curation through writing and photography. In my last two years of university, I received the Eugene Lang Civic Engagement and Social Justice Grant in 2018 and 2019 and the Eugene Lang Opportunity Award to produce social-justice based journalistic work. Some of this work currently lives on my Medium page, https://medium.com/@whitm603, and https://prettygirlssweat.com/tags/mecca-russell.

The media I produce is only an extension of the work I produced in college, simply bringing useful and creative content to inform others with a better understanding of their place in the world and society at large.

Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Best,

Mecca Russell
