My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Nepal | Thursday, July 4, 2013 | 5 photos

Hello,

my name is Claudia and I'm 31. 10 years ago I realized the first step of living my passion - I studies photography for one year in Australia. However, I didn't dare to live my dream. Now, 10 years later, I quit my job in marketing (where I assisted foodphotography) to give it a chance. I started a 3-year photo study programme in Oct 2012 in Austria to get all the technic basics in digital SLR (I did analog in 2003).
My second passion is travel... I've been to about 30 countries - my last being my most memorable... a 17 day trekking in Nepal - where I took the attached photo.
Why take me?
I just LOVE nature... being outside being as often as I can. At the moment I'm as fit as ever... having done some quite high peaks.
I LOVE challenges... 17 days hiking in a row, 24h hours hike... and Greenland!!
I'm have some good qualities: I sleep everywhere, don't need much sleep, can eat nearly anything and have no problem with cold our heights and I'm a good story teller on long days :-) . As to photography I try to get on my knees, crawl up to get a view and look at details which others miss.
I'D BE MAGIC to get the chance of my live to combine my passions travel & photography!
