Roaming Places https://journals.worldnomads.com/sweetsolace/ Wed, 13 May 2026 17:37:44 GMT World Nomads Adventures I am a 20 year old male, and I am from Vancouver, BC. The first 8 years of my life were joyous and adventurous, but after a divorce and lots of fighting, I moved out at 15 years old to make it on my own. I was lost, and led astray, and at one point I ended up in the complete wrong direction, walking alongside the wrong people. I was angry, bitter, confused, and terribly unhappy. I dropped out of school, and did nothing with my time. Everything felt wrong, and I so badly desired to be a good person and lead a good life. I have always had an innate tendency towards doing good, so it was just a matter of time until I got back on track. Who I am was buried under years of stress and negativity, so I grabbed a shovel, and started digging. In three years I changed my life, I sought out help, did a little therapy, graduated highschool, made some great friends, worked two jobs for a year to save up, and took off. I spent two months in Cape Town, and now I am in Australia! I'm just going wherever I go, and taking pictures of everything along the way. I've been a hobbyist photographer for a long time now, and I would love to go to Greenland! Nat Geo is my dream job. https://journals.worldnomads.com/sweetsolace/photos/43881/South-Africa/South-Africa-a-beautiful-beginning-to-my-wordly-adventure Travel South Africa sweetsolace https://journals.worldnomads.com/sweetsolace/photos/43881/South-Africa/South-Africa-a-beautiful-beginning-to-my-wordly-adventure#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/sweetsolace/photos/43881/South-Africa/South-Africa-a-beautiful-beginning-to-my-wordly-adventure Sat, 6 Jul 2013 14:39:00 GMT 0
