Hello! I am Mirna Hamdan a senior Multimedia Journalism student at the American University in Cairo.

This Audio Diary is a summary of my solo trip to Istanbul. I went through the main and most fascinating events throughout my trip and described how beautiful it was to discover this huge city alone.

This project was created with love for my Audio Production class with Dr. Kim Fox.

You can find the script I prepared for this Audio Diary project on this link:

Hi! I am Vereena, a senior studying Multimedia Journalism and Psychology at The American University in Cairo. In this audio diary, I am taking you through my typical Friday -- one of the busiest and loveliest days –– a day full of worship, family laughs, good food, and moments of self-reflection. This is just the longer version :))

This is a project for the JRMC 4460 Audio production class under the supervision of Professor Fox (@ohradiogirl) and Maria Moawad, the course TA.
