My Scholarship entry - Globe Trotter

South Africa | Wednesday, October 22, 2014 | 5 photos

I have always lived in a large city but my heart lies in nature & my blood runs with the urge to travel. My fondness for travel is tribute to my parents who took me to all corners of my country & abroad. Living in Africa I spent lots of time in the bush veld particularly in an area north of Nata Botswana where there are no chalets, hotels or people & upon entry you become purely self-sufficient with no contact to the outside world. This wild area contains a diverse population of wildlife especially Elephants & I would often go on solo walks as a child & get into close proximity with these giants sometimes meters away hiding behind a small bush surrounded by the herd. This is also the period were my passion for photography began, playing with a family friends SLR camera. I have since bought my own camera & travel as often as I can.

To win this trip would be a dream come true & would give me the same experience as I had as a child but in a different habitat & in a magical part of the world I would love to see(Amazon). Being able to travel with the crew would be amazing & I would learn a great deal from them. I speak Spanish & Portuguese & am more than capable of living in the wild.
