My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Nepal | Friday, July 5, 2013 | 5 photos

I studied Technical Architecture and I worked in different architectural companies for 10 years, and in 2010 the economic crisis arrived, and with it more free time and redundancy money to spend. So adventure called and I was ready to enjoy my two favourits hobbies, travel and photography. My first stop was Nepal. I was there for 4 months. And after that I went to Africa. I was there a year, and saw 12 different countries traveling over land, just wandering. I tried to mix with the local people. I shared their lives, observed and took pictures like a madwoman.To be in all these places was to get caught up in travelling and taking photographs, it became an addiction and now I cannot stop.
Since I returned I have been thinking to find a formula to make travelling and photography a way of life and to make a living from it.
I don’t think that I’m the only person applying for this scholarship who likes to travel and take photographs, I won’t be the only one who has travelled around the world for extended periods, and probably I won´t be the one who takes the best pictures, but I'm ready to take the chance and make the most of it, because this is the path I choose for my life.
