My German teacher, Frau Sibeto, organized a trip over the summer through my school. I spent almost two weeks with one of my friends traveling, making friends with locals and others on the trip. The group, led by our tour guide Otto, travels from Berlin, Dresden, Rothenburg, Nurnberg, Munich, Heidelberg, and Koln. https://journals.worldnomads.com/dondo/photos/38469/Germany/Germany-2008 Travel Germany dondo https://journals.worldnomads.com/dondo/photos/38469/Germany/Germany-2008#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/dondo/photos/38469/Germany/Germany-2008 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 11:48:00 GMT 0 The life of a person’s spirit is measured by borders pushed and unknown traveled; sometimes willingly other times not. Those experiences result in the emergence of an evolved person craving more. As a child I dreamt of a nomadic life of adventure, fueled by stories of exploration. Into the Wild helped me realize my dreams were reachable. In 2011 I took a semester off to travel alone across the US; a journey that gave me new life perspectives. I discovered passions in backpacking, surfing, climbing, and photography. Yellowstone and Yosemite’s allure forced me to rediscover life and capture it in photos. I returned to school wanting to learn everything about photography. I want to work with Nat. Geo. or other magazines, and eventually do freelance jobs. This scholarship offers a chance to evolve and I have the ambition to improve. My first photography class I used more film and paper than allocated. It was expensive but I learned to evaluate lighting and framing to create the best shot. Photography enables people to see; good or bad, places or events they ignore or don’t know exist. I hope my photos motivate others and initiate change. The more I learn the greater influence I’ll have https://journals.worldnomads.com/dondo/photos/38430/USA/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel USA dondo https://journals.worldnomads.com/dondo/photos/38430/USA/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/dondo/photos/38430/USA/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Sun, 13 Jan 2013 09:28:45 GMT 0
