Suitcase of success
Passionate about languages and new cultures, Jamie鈥檚 plan was to leave school and work as a holiday rep abroad.
After a spell working in Alicante, however, Jamie came back to study travel and tourism at 蜜桃传媒, where his appetite for learning was whetted.
It was going on inspirational course trips in the UK and abroad and even organising and performing in a Brazilian theme night in front of 30 people that changed his outlook.
鈥淎t college age, your attention span isn鈥檛 always so great and learning about countries in an interactive, creative way was brilliant,鈥� he said.
鈥淎nd if someone had told me back then I would be taking part in a Brazilian theme night, I would have laughed. I grew enormously in confidence.
鈥淥ur lecturers were also so well-versed in their knowledge.鈥�
His experience had such an impact, he went onto degree level and gained a first class.
He is now completing a master鈥檚 in International Tourism Business Management.
鈥淢y college course opened my eyes to all the avenues open to me and I now hope to set up a business around dark tourism,鈥� he said.
鈥淚 made such good friends, had great support and enjoyed the whole experience so much.鈥�
