My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

USA | Monday, January 14, 2013 | 5 photos

Aloha! I'm from the SF Bay Area & currently live in Santa Monica, CA. I grew up with airline passes as my Dad was a pilot for United, so I've lived/studied in Taiwan & Madrid & have travelled extensively in North America, Europe & Asia as well as Ethiopia, New Zealand, Fiji & Australia! I graduated from USC here in LA studying International Relations/Communications & have a Masters in International Management. I worked at the World Trade Center in NYC for a Chinese Import/Export company & currently sing in an a cappella group & virtual manage my musician brother & take pics. at his gigs! During my travels I've tried to share my experiences through storytelling, photography & writing hoping to be a bridge of understanding between different people. My brother gave me a digital camera about a year ago, so I've made the leap into the digital age & am learning a lot! It would be an absolute honor & dream-come-true to travel in Oman with Jason as a photographer mentor for National Geographic! I've never been to the Arabian Peninsula & it seems like a very fascinating place! For full disclosure, I have cataracts, but all the photos submitted were taken by me a month ago. Mahalo!
