Snapshots of an eye-opening experience

Hello! My name is Rosa Martin, I've just turned 23 and I'm from Spain. I graduated last year from a bachelor in Biotechnology. During my Bachelor I participated in an exchange and lived in Tokyo for a year to improve my Japanese. When in Japan I also travelled for a month to Thailand and Cambodia. This trip made me realise how much I love travelling, how eager for new experiences and adventures I am. I would travel later to South Korea before returning to Spain. Just two months after I would again leave Spain to spend a year living in Belgium as an Erasmus student.
I had plans of studying my Master's in Paris, but literally in the last moment I changed them when I was offered a job here. I wasn't very interested in continuing my sciences study, so I took it. It was the perfect opportunity to save up some money to be able to go travelling next year.
I've had also a strong passion for photography for a long time (it is also thanks to my job that I've been able to upgrade lately my equipment) and have just recently started painting. In some of my illustrations I also use my photos.
Travelling, taking photographs and drawing, that would be the perfect scenario for my life.

Thailand, where solo travelling got less scary
