Opposite of déjà vu

Discovering unspoiled Myanmar

Myanmar | Thursday, July 4, 2013 | 5 photos

Usually upon arriving to a new destination, we look for something familiar to feel more secure. However, my curiosity has swayed me to look for the "opposite of déjà vu"- to indulge in unexpected experiences and situations.

In the last few years, I visited 30 countries in search for such situations, and when traveling for a short period of time was not enough to provide a better understanding, I relocated my workplace to satisfy my craving.

My studies in Environmental sciences made me see the influence of globalization in various cultures of the world and learn about man’s relation with nature. I volunteered in Myanmar in order to witness and appreciate this basic relation. Living in a remote village away from civilization where inhabitants survive on available resources has fulfilled my studies. Reminding me of my childhood in Spain; a kid in a small village surrounded by nature - nowadays forgotten and abused – but it’s our heritage and origin.

We should be conscious of how we interact and adapt with our environment. I hope this opportunity with Jason will help me reflect this reality in the photos I take, leave a good impact on nature and share my findings with the world.
I.
