more than just a trip

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

China | Monday, January 14, 2013 | 5 photos

I was like about 19 years old when my adventure started and my life changed. When I decided to volunteer with a Christian International organization where I had some training and started travelling, and living in different cultures. There was when my mind started to open to the world and my view of it, started changing.
We'd travel with a team of people to different countries and help volunteering in hospitals, orphanages etc. which gave sense to my trips, because now it wasn't anymore about tourism and to know amazing places, if not, it became a trip towards hope for a better world, I realized that I could do something to help and contribute toward a better world, that was better giving than receiving. So I started combining my passion for photography with my trips, to capture those amazing places, the culture, the people, and be able to show to the world what is going on in the other part of the world. I think that a photo is so powerful to communicate, and speaks much more than the words we can say. I love art, and I believe that photography has that power to capture a moment, to communicate more than words can say, and show to the world that there is hope in Life.
