China: my lifetime journey https://journals.worldnomads.com/cristinaciconte/ Wed, 29 Apr 2026 08:33:59 GMT World Nomads Adventures I am one of those people that can be called China lovers. My entire life was marked by this fil rouge that connected all my experiences and education. Since the high school I got to know the language and the culture of this country and I have been fascinated by it. Last year I had the possibility to spend a year there for a Master and this experience was life-changing. To spend a year abroad is no doubt an extraordinary experience, but to spend it in China is even more so. This huge country, with a thousand-year-old culture is the land of contradictions and to travel through it is the best way to fully appreciate its intrinsic diversity. During the year I travelled a lot inside and outside the country and it's there that I discovered an irrepressible passion for photography. The need to eternalize the views that at times made me astonished or puzzled was simply unstoppable. I cultivated my two passions together, to travel and to shoot pictures in the place I love the most. I am aware of the fact that many countries like China are worth being explored and deeply understood. This is only the beginning and I hope to get the chance to sink into the Peruvian Amazon. https://journals.worldnomads.com/cristinaciconte/photos/51884/China/China-the-land-of-contradictions Travel China cristinaciconte https://journals.worldnomads.com/cristinaciconte/photos/51884/China/China-the-land-of-contradictions#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/cristinaciconte/photos/51884/China/China-the-land-of-contradictions Mon, 24 Nov 2014 05:18:24 GMT 0
