A sandy state of mind https://journals.worldnomads.com/surflovepeace11/ Thu, 9 Apr 2026 22:13:22 GMT World Nomads Adventures My name is Kerry ONeill I am a 28 year old female born and raised at the "Jersey Shore". Photography has been a passion of mine since I caught the 'travel bug' at 19 years old and moved to Hawaii on a whim. My dream is to see and photograph every corner of every country before I die.I have travelled to many places, but still have quite the list to pursue. My first love for photography arose when i was camping across the Great Ocean Road of Australia 8 years ago. The beauty in the photos i came home with inspired me to photograph foreign lands. Recently the state of NJ was devastatingly affected by Hurricane Sandy. I personally suffered severe damage to my home and my family's three businesses. I have photographed the wreckage, the sadness and the loss of many. I sense that the beauty of another land will reinstate my positive energy and outlook on the world and i shall return with even more vigor to restore the beautiful community that we once had. Photography is my outlet, it is my emotional expression when i am speechless; it allows me to capture what I see as beautiful, even amidst complete devastation. https://journals.worldnomads.com/surflovepeace11/photos/37730/USA/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel USA surflovepeace11 https://journals.worldnomads.com/surflovepeace11/photos/37730/USA/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/surflovepeace11/photos/37730/USA/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Fri, 11 Jan 2013 03:36:59 GMT 0
