A day in the life of Lamu. https://journals.worldnomads.com/mattsjournal/ Fri, 3 Apr 2026 19:57:08 GMT World Nomads Adventures My life is taking a big turn and it’s something I am truly excited for. Last year I met my future wife, the love of my life and she is a travel blogger and writer. <br/>A trip with her to Kenya and Paris this past October, inspired me to leave my career as an electrician. It must be fate because I have always been creative and I am now her photographer. Who would have known that my life would change so drastically and how incredibly uplifting it would feel?<br/>Winning this contest would be an incredible start to our journey, a life of independent travel; one we’re beginning in June of this year in Southeast Asia. My aspiration to be a great photographer, one of the best, is so important to me and winning this contest would be such an inspiration. <br/>I hope to develop the skill to capture the photos that inspire others to take up photography. I hope to learn how to turn what I see with my eyes and envision in my mind into a stunning photograph. <br/>I hope to show the people of this world just how incredible and interesting it is by chronicling our world adventures through photos.<br/>Thank you for your consideration. https://journals.worldnomads.com/mattsjournal/photos/39663/Kenya/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Kenya mattsjournal https://journals.worldnomads.com/mattsjournal/photos/39663/Kenya/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/mattsjournal/photos/39663/Kenya/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Mon, 14 Jan 2013 13:21:50 GMT 0
