  • Did you know my creative agency @geotravelermedia also runs an online academy called Geotraveler Media Academy (launched in 2020)? What an incredible ride it’s been since starting The Academy in 2020. Since then, hundreds of you signed up, have grown along your individual paths, and supported our work, including sending us wonderful testimonials! Heading into 2026, we will be undergoing a major revamp to make sure we’re serving our community in the very best ways possible. We will be sharing more resources and updated tools to aid you in your journey towards evolving as a storyteller across multiple platforms - from travel writing and photography to fiction and nonfiction, including self-development resources, travel retreats, and development trips around the world. Starting today until December 31 (that’s right, until the end of the year), all courses are 50% off. Simply use the code -> YEAREND <- during checkout here - https://academy.geotravelermedia.com/l/products. Link is in the profile too. If you’ve already bought courses, you will still have access to those afterwards so no worries there. Looking forward to seeing you all at Geotraveler Media Academy! #onlinecourses #academy #digitalcourses #onlineschool #visualstorytelling #storytelling

Did you know my creative agency @geotravelermedia also runs an online academy called Geotraveler Media Academy (launched in 2020)? What an incredible ride it’s been since starting The Academy in 2020. Since then, hundreds of you signed up, have grown along your individual paths, and supported our work, including sending us wonderful testimonials! Heading into 2026, we will be undergoing a major revamp to make sure we’re serving our community in the very best ways possible. We will be sharing more resources and updated tools to aid you in your journey towards evolving as a storyteller across multiple platforms - from travel writing and photography to fiction and nonfiction, including self-development resources, travel retreats, and development trips around the world. Starting today until December 31 (that’s right, until the end of the year), all courses are 50% off. Simply use the code -> YEAREND <- during checkout here - https://academy.geotravelermedia.com/l/products. Link is in the profile too. If you’ve already bought courses, you will still have access to those afterwards so no worries there. Looking forward to seeing you all at Geotraveler Media Academy! #onlinecourses #academy #digitalcourses #onlineschool #visualstorytelling #storytelling
