Kesennuma: Life After the Tsunami https://journals.worldnomads.com/hollie_h/ Wed, 22 Apr 2026 17:47:45 GMT World Nomads Adventures I have always been a storyteller with a fierce creative streak. Nothing made me happier as a child than acting out plays and telling tales about far away places. Then I discovered cameras and a whole new world of storytelling opened up to me.<br/>After my drama degree, I was lucky enough to live up to my dreams and travel. I saw the world with new eyes, living and working in developing countries, volunteering and learning as much as I could about different cultures. Every day was a new story, and it fascinated me.<br/>For me, photos are a very special form of storytelling - tangible, honest and unique. I especially like to photograph people or groups who are changing the world around them for the better, communicating their message to inspire others and get us all on our feet. I get a giddy feeling when I show people images I’m proud of.<br/>I have so much space to grow and the Hermione Granger in me (complete with frizzy hair and hand in the air) cannot wait to learn more. I know I would gain so much from this scholarship, relishing the opportunity and letting myself be filled with the same wonderment that I had as a child. Then I hope to give back 100% in the way I love best: storytelling. https://journals.worldnomads.com/hollie_h/photos/37723/Japan/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Japan hollie_h https://journals.worldnomads.com/hollie_h/photos/37723/Japan/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/hollie_h/photos/37723/Japan/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Fri, 11 Jan 2013 02:48:45 GMT 0
