Скачать или смотреть The Reason for Travel: In Praise of Journeys and Travelers – Juliana González | Open Class

Why do we travel — and what stories do we bring back?

In this inspiring Open Class from the School of Travel Journalism, journalist and professor Juliana González explores the emotional, intellectual, and cultural reasons that lead us to travel — and how these motivations shape our stories.

Juliana reflects on the value of observation, memory, and human connection in travel writing, while offering tools to rethink how we approach destinations and people as storytellers, not tourists.

✍️ In this session, you’ll explore:

The emotional and narrative reasons behind the urge to travel.

The responsibility of travel journalists in how they portray cultures and communities.

Why writing about a place is always writing about ourselves.

The traveler’s dual role as witness and narrator.

How memory and transformation play a central role in authentic storytelling.

🧭 This session is part of our Open Days 2025, a series of free online classes led by professors from the Master in Travel Journalism.

⏳ Available until January 2025
After that, access will be exclusive to enrolled students.
