My Scholarship entry - The unknown races of Litang

China | Monday, November 17, 2014 | 5 photos

I am Laura Plunkett a 30 year old from Northern Ireland who studied Art and Design at University and who has spent as much time as possible in the last 11 years travelling. I graduated from university with a BA Hons in Art and Design and decided to go travelling for six months before beginning my career. Those six months have turned into seven years and I have now travelled, worked and lived in more than 40 countries.
Photography is very important to me as it is a way of expressing my creative side. I have learnt a lot about myself from the photos I have taken and the areas that I am interested in. I’m not sure if my passion for photography or travelling is greater, they both drive each other. My passions in life are photography, travelling, meeting new people and spending time in nature. I teach English as a foreign language as a way of supporting myself so I can travel the world and spend time in communities photographing them but to work as a travel photographer would be a dream come true. I am living my dream now as much as I can but the chance to come and join you on a scholarship would really help make my full dream come true.
