Ana Samodol

My name is Ana Samodol, I come from Šibenik and I am a second-year student of journalisam at the Faculty of Political Science. What I see as passion in my future job is investigating interesting and less common stories about people, what kind of life they have and if they unfortunately had any obstacles in their lives. Also I like reading about travelling, mainly where to travel, what to see, what monuments can be visited, and what can you do in that town. Furthermore I like reading about other cultures, their foods, drinks and their customs. I am very fascinated by Turkish food and their culture, mostly by their beautiful towns, monuments and natural sights.

I also like reading lifestyle articles, sometimes even sports and the most important news from politics and business. Sometimes that type of news might seem a bit boring, but I have to keep up with things that are happening in Croatia and all over the world. I like to share reading interests with students my age. These are the reasons why I would write about things to do in Zagreb or Croatia, where to hang out with your friends, how to study and enjoy in student life. As I said over the coffee, I love watching TV shows and films. My favourite TV shows are sitcoms, I love watching them because they make me feel better and I forget about my problems. I also love listening to older hits from previous century; 80s, 70s, 90s and 2000 music. In my opinion, music from that era was far better than this one today. Unfortunately I can't listen to this type of music on Radio Student where I volunteer, where I write and read the news.

I want to be a journalist because I am interested in radio and television journalisam. Apart from those things I would also like to write about interesting stories of people, travelling and culture of other countries. I applied for an internship at Total Croatia News because I want to expand my knowledge in journalism and collect knowledge and ideas from other journalists. Also I would like to learn more about Croatian culture in which I am not familiar with. Apart from expanding my knowledge in journalism, I want to improve my personal, communicating and writing skills.
