The Pilgrimage

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Hi! I'm Sam Hawley. I'm 29 and right on the edge of breaking into being a pro travel photographer. I have been busting my butt all year (more so than every other) to get my skills to a level where they are something a mentor can work with and help hone.

My other passion is film. I've spent the past 10 years on the road working sound on live events with some very big name personal development speakers. This taught me how to travel light, work hard and enjoy those around me... But also to put my life to good use making a difference.

I live for travel and experience of life and different cultures. The purpose of my life is to use my passion to help raise the level of consciousness on the planet. I want to do more than just take pretty, boring pictures. I want to do something that matters for the world. I want to make a difference to the quality of people's lives on a global scale.

I'm likeable, teachable, fun to be around. I learn fast and will be your right hand when you need something. I already work hours that are insane. I've done Everest Base Camp, Kilimanjaro, and the Salkantay all with my camera and tripod on my back.
I believe I am the guy you are looking for.
