This is about my first backpacking trip outside the US. I was 22 and broke.

My Scholarship entry - Life in Buenos Aires after a year

Argentina | Monday, November 24, 2014 | 5 photos

I'm an aspiring travel photographer and feel that I can get a lot out of this opportunity. I'm also an environmentalist and feel getting to know, as well as photography, the Peruvian Amazon would help me convince people to take care of the environment. I work hard every day to improve my photography, but would like the chance to do it in nature, as I live in large, urban, Buenos Aires and have lived in big cities my entire life.
