Adventurer Fever World Nomads Travel Film Scholarship: New Orleans and Mardi Gras 2014!

Traveling with almost no money is not easy. However, staring at my feet stuck on top of a desk for 12h per day while immersed in the darkness of an advertising agency, has never been my dream. It has now been 3 years since I quit my job to start working on my dreams and I´ve never felt more alive.

Reaching the final stage in ‘The Best Job in the World 2013’ competition made me realize that one day, as long as I focus on what I love, it is possible to make a living out of this.

This scholarship offers an unmissable opportunity to go after this dream. Through my video, which chronicles the Torajan people of Indonesia, I wanted to shed light on a group of phenomenal people, tell an interesting story, inspire others to travel and make people smile. It also reflects who I am and is true of my style.

Winning, rather than a priority, would be a consequence of my passion and love for my work. Furthermore, it represents an opportunity allowing me to spend more time focussing all my energy on what I love without continually having to interrupt this focus to fund my work. It would also develop my skills as a travel filmmaker to bring my dream of dedicating my life to this one step closer.
