A Prairie View A&M University student is one step closer to having the opportunity to travel around the world this fall.
Andia Richardson, a junior mass communications major, is a finalist in the “Your Big Year” contest. She and 23 other finalists will be competing in Liverpool, U.K. from Nov. 13-21 for a chance to win the grand prize of a yearlong trip around the world.
Richardson first entered through the submittal of a video that she was required to record and edit, introducing her city, Houston, to the judges.
When she found out she was going to be a finalist, Richardson said, “I am truly excited about being a ‘Your Big Year’ finalist! This is an experience that I will cherish forever.”
The contest is hosted by Smaller Earth, a company that participates in and promotes world travel for volunteer opportunities and a chance to learn more about various cultures.
Richardson loves to travel and aspires to make film documentaries.
