Ryan Van Duzer – Travel Channel Academy alum at work
Today we are in San Antonio, Texas (home of the Alamo), where we are starting our first Texas based Travel Channel Academy.
Ironically, I also received an email this morning from Ryan Van Duzer, an alum of one of the very first Academies. He’s doing pretty well
Hi Michael,
> Just wanted to say thank you for calling me last summer from London and
> encouraging me to do the Academy. As you know, I was on the fence, but your

> Well, I’m just now completing my first big commission project with TC, 10
> destination guide videos in a few western cities.
> It was just one year ago and now I’m living the dream.
> Thank you…and Lisa too. Have a great time at your wedding, your ‘short
> man’ blog post was hilarious by the way.

This isn’t exactly videojournalism-related, but restaurant coverage is travel-related; there’s a very colorful and unique Mexican restaurant in the Mercado near the Alamo; it might make a good subject for a story.
The food’s excellent, too.
