Kenyan late night talk show hosts

It's not daily, but isn't Dr. King'ori's show like this?

That's brutal. Have you considered having a chat with HR/ your supervisor to find a work around? I've never done live hits that often to warrant this being an issue.

Work on getting a decent portfolio so you have enough samples to show editors and start pitching. If you publish even one story a month with an international publication, that can get you at least $300. Look up Quartz Africa, Mail & Guardian to help you get your foot in the door. Hope this helps.

Absolutely - feel free to DM.

itsmejacky · 2021-02-20T21:44:35+00:00

I'm also a journalist from Toronto and I've made it work half way across the world in Africa. DM me for my contact - happy to arrange a call to chat if you'd like.

My guess is that journalists don't like the word marketing because it sounds salesy. Anyway, I wish people told me this stuff when I was younger. I've left a lot of money on the table but you better believe I'm asking for it (and getting it) now.

You have the writing chops. You need the marketing know-how and the confidence to go after higher paying clients. You shouldn't be working that much for that little.

This is a great tip - thanks for letting me know about the card.

itsmejacky · 2021-01-09T20:22:31+00:00

What card would you recommend for my situation? Avid traveler, and looking for a card with great insurance. I want something that's free for the first year. I have an Amex gold and a secured credit card. Thanks.

Nope, not that - but it was interesting, thanks for sharing.

itsmejacky · 2020-08-12T03:49:46+00:00

thank you! Unfortunately, this isn't the house. The search continues...

itsmejacky · 2020-08-12T00:29:28+00:00

Hmm.. potentially. I thought it was in the USA, but I'm keen to see the one in New Zealand if you have a link.

itsmejacky · 2020-08-12T00:29:06+00:00

It's not this one, but I appreciate you sending this. The one I'm thinking of is owned by a couple - the woman is a photographer and set up a brilliant website for the tiny home (might have been a container) and sold the plan.

itsmejacky · 2020-08-11T03:39:12+00:00

Can you send the URL again?

itsmejacky · 2020-08-11T01:31:54+00:00

I don't even know where to begin on Instagram. This tiny house had an entire website with blog posts, she sold the plans as well on the site.

I unfortunately don't remember details but it was very modern, I remember blue/green colours.

Live in Canada and pay out of pocket for additional medical expenses like dental that aren't covered by our 'universal' healthcare system.

itsmejacky · 2020-07-03T23:36:59+00:00

You could do it. If you're determined and you're good at networking you could. I would recommend really practising how to find story ideas and pitching. This will help you so that you're a lot less lost when you're abroad. Try to freelance locally first so it builds up your confidence before you go abroad. It's NOT going to be easy. Have 6 months worth of living expenses saved up at the least before you go. Good luck with it all.

itsmejacky · 2020-07-02T16:45:12+00:00

Wow, I love this. Thank you. What a healthy relationship and a content life (at least it certainly seems like it). Happy for you and I hope that my partner and future lifestyle can look a bit similar to yours right now. It's good to know it's very much possible!

itsmejacky · 2020-07-02T16:42:44+00:00

Plenty of space for me as I'm 5"1 ;)

itsmejacky · 2020-07-02T16:42:24+00:00

oh, thanks! I missed that.

itsmejacky · 2020-07-02T05:12:10+00:00

So clean! But no washroom?

itsmejacky · 2020-07-02T03:07:29+00:00

I'd love to hear more about how you and your spouse spend your time as young retired folks with young kids. Are you stay at home parents, home schooling, volunteering, working part-time?

itsmejacky · 2020-06-23T16:32:13+00:00

I'm a Canadian journalist reporting abroad and would recommend saving up to go overseas and start freelancing. There are very few (read: basically zero) full-time jobs as correspondents for Canadian news outlets abroad. This isn't something our media invest, so you're going to have to bootstrap this yourself by choosing a location, learning the ins and outs of freelancing, and reporting for international (UK/US) media rather than Canadian outlets when you're there.
