A journey of 800km, 60 days on foot across Western Spain to see the sun go down at Finesterra. https://journals.worldnomads.com/cookie139/ Wed, 29 Apr 2026 09:25:30 GMT World Nomads Adventures I was six years old.The school bell rang & it was time to go home One day I decided to not take the bus and instead walk 30km back home.So I did & I recall being very happy about it.I proudly told my parents of what I had accomplished.They were shocked. I got scolded &from thereon I got escorted to my school everyday.I realize now that the decision I took as a toddler went on to become the single most inspiring moment of my life.I knew soon I had an innate passion for travel.My dad is an alcoholic addicted to gambling,mom suffers from depression,tried to commit suicide& I was sexually abused by my grandpa. Even then I evolved into a sane& funny person with a of zest for life. The reason for this is my passion to travel.I used to travel through books & music to escape the present & when I was old enough (16)I took off on the road.That's the thing about travel you get a clean slate.There are no yesterdays.I feel most at home,when I’m on the road.I love living through my backpack &standing in long queues at airport security.The lust for travel is what sparked another passion in me,Photography. It inspires me to take a better shot. Through a CF Card I hold the key to blissful memories. https://journals.worldnomads.com/cookie139/photos/39299/Spain/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Spain cookie139 https://journals.worldnomads.com/cookie139/photos/39299/Spain/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/cookie139/photos/39299/Spain/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Mon, 14 Jan 2013 09:16:42 GMT 0
