Meeting the faces of Jambiani, Zanzibar https://journals.worldnomads.com/laurenrattray/ Thu, 14 May 2026 03:18:41 GMT World Nomads Adventures I am a student studying International Development, but my heart is in photography. Over the past 7 years I have been teaching myself, saving up for better equipment and improving my skills. <br/>I have had the privilege of traveling to some incredible places to really test my abilities and those adventures showed me that my eye is in travel photography.<br/>I should be chosen for the scholarship because I am passionate, excited and determined. I am all self-taught, but hungry for better knowledge and skills. I am young with fresh eyes that are well-travelled and wise. I am creative and have worked hard for everything I have achieved. <br/>I would be incredibly grateful, as this opportunity would give me the push I need to put my passion into real-world practice. Being mentored by Jason Edwards would be unbelievable. Having always dreamed of being apart of National Geographic, I am giddy about this possibility!<br/>I hope you see the beautiful spirit of the people in Jambiani like I did, in my photos. And that you see the potential I have to grow, but also the ability I have now. <br/>I thank you so much for your consideration.<br/>Regards,<br/>Lauren https://journals.worldnomads.com/laurenrattray/photos/39341/Tanzania/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Tanzania laurenrattray https://journals.worldnomads.com/laurenrattray/photos/39341/Tanzania/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/laurenrattray/photos/39341/Tanzania/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Mon, 14 Jan 2013 09:54:43 GMT 0
