Cerina!!! This is so awesome, I'm proud of you for putting yourself out there and WINNING! It's not the money that counts, especially for your first time. It's the feeling of achievement.

I have a similar story, a bit long for a comment but my VERY first article in print came about by pure chance. I had met an American photographer at a beautiful Jamaican villa I was invited to review. He was on assignment for the Our Jamaica magazine, a huge annual tourism magazine that appears in every hotel and resort on the island. He gave me the contact info for the publisher and told me to reach out and tell them I was a destination writer. Long story short, they contracted me to write THREE different segments of the 2013 edition, AND again in 2015. All were paid assignments but the money didn't matter nearly as much as having those hard copies to keep for the rest of my life 😊❤️

Keep going Cerina, you are just beginning!

Wow! Well done you. I must admit it is about getting out there, talking to people and quite often just asking. Luck really has nothing to do with it. Giving it a go, expect some knock backs but soldiering on. Thank you again for your restack!
