Four weeks of island life

My Scholarship entry - Four weeks of island life

Maldives | Sunday, November 23, 2014 | 5 photos

I have just finished studying Interior & Spatial Design with International Studies in Sydney. In no way do they mix and yet it was the perfect combination for me, I was able to mix being creative with learning languages and about different cultures.

My love of travelling comes from wanting to see what the rest of the world is like and growing up in a different country to my parents taught me to respect differences. I like to see how other people and things live and breathe and eat. It is also really important to me to keep memories of this and I love trying to capture the right photo whilst I’m in a beautiful place. I love to come home with a camera full of great memories and to remember and share what I saw and experienced with others long after my adventure is over.

I think I could really benefit from this once in a lifetime experience – I feel like there’s a lot more to learn and I am willing to listen and learn and absorb information. With this opportunity I hope to turn my love of photography into something more than just a hobby, a chance to share the wonder of the rest of the world and what we might not be able to otherwise see or experience.
