While at Falmouth I managed to get a three week work placement at Sky News in London. Thanks to the practical focus of my MA, I was able to make myself more useful than most trainees. I knew the little but important things like what UPSOT or a tease was, and crucially I knew how to write news.

I thought how brilliant it would be to be paid for travelling and learning about the deepest corners of our great Earth. Hence my MA in International Journalism at Falmouth... On the back of recently completing Lands End - John O'Groats and a trip to Rwanda, I devised the idea of cycling to the World Cup. I'd just applied for a job and said to my friend, "If I don't get this I'll cycle to the WC and write about it."
