Natures Beauty https://journals.worldnomads.com/paulk/ Thu, 9 Apr 2026 12:44:37 GMT World Nomads Adventures 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. https://journals.worldnomads.com/paulk/photos/49529/South-Africa/Globe-Trotter Travel South Africa paulk https://journals.worldnomads.com/paulk/photos/49529/South-Africa/Globe-Trotter#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/paulk/photos/49529/South-Africa/Globe-Trotter Wed, 22 Oct 2014 21:41:46 GMT 0 Hi my name is Paul Kollar, I am 27 years old and live in Johannesburg South Africa, I work as a graphic designer and this is where my love of photography began. As a child I always loved playing with cameras, I finally purchased my own Canon EOS 400D with a standard 55mm lens at around the age of 24 and have been taking photos since, I shoot on manual and am a firm believer in raw photography, I dont edit any photographs of mine. My biggest interests in life are traveling and with that I carry my trusty camera, I try to travel as much as possible and I believe EVERY country in the world is beautiful, cities, people and cultures will be different but every country has nature as its beauty and each place and continent has its own natural beauty, I would love to visit every corner of the earth and all of my submitted photos are from my travels. I could only dream about winning this competition as I could be traveling to such a beautiful place on earth and learn so much about photography from some of the best photographers. What an achievement it would be for me to win a competition like this from something I love to do and to be able to win something im so passionate about. https://journals.worldnomads.com/paulk/photos/41698/Worldwide/A-place-I-have-visited Travel Worldwide paulk https://journals.worldnomads.com/paulk/photos/41698/Worldwide/A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/paulk/photos/41698/Worldwide/A-place-I-have-visited Fri, 21 Jun 2013 23:54:35 GMT 0
