Velasco's Road trip https://journals.worldnomads.com/alexvelasco/ Sat, 11 Apr 2026 09:12:54 GMT World Nomads Adventures Ever since I was a little boy I have had a passion and love for animals and nature. When I was just a few years old, my parents thought that my passion for wildlife was a just hobby. As I grew up, however, they realized that I had a deeper connection with nature than they had expected. This could be after the heart attacks they would nearly have when I would grab snakes or possibly after I told them that I was charged by a white rhino and I was on foot. Apart from my passion to animals, I love to travel, visit new places and learn about different cultures. Fortunately, just a few years ago, I had the opportunity to do a wildlife conservation internship in South Africa for 6 months where I worked as the Coordinator of a Cheetah Conservation Project. I should be chosen because I have the passion, determination and dedication to take wildlife photos no matter the weather or the place. I would love even more guidance on taking pictures to not only show their beauty but to be able to show emotions and tell their story. Recently my family and I made a road trip though the Baja Peninsula and it was simply stunning. The history, culture and wildlife are breath taking in each place I go. I hope you like and find the same passion in my photos. https://journals.worldnomads.com/alexvelasco/photos/51714/Mexico/My-Scholarship-entry-Baja-Peninsula-Road-Trip Travel Mexico alexvelasco https://journals.worldnomads.com/alexvelasco/photos/51714/Mexico/My-Scholarship-entry-Baja-Peninsula-Road-Trip#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/alexvelasco/photos/51714/Mexico/My-Scholarship-entry-Baja-Peninsula-Road-Trip Sun, 23 Nov 2014 19:09:00 GMT 0
