Young World Traveller

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Greece | Thursday, July 4, 2013 | 5 photos

I grew with my family amongst nature in a hut on the sea . From a young age I longed to travel and document the world. Since leaving school I have spent 2 years travelling and volunteering through 14 countries, documenting these experiences through my photography. I feel Traveling changes you like little else in the world can. It takes you to places you never could have believed existed, teaches you language and language barriers, absorbs you into different cultures and different common beliefs. Travel is a part of who I am and it educates me, teaches me to appreciate, to accept and most of all it helps me to see the world in such a unique way. I live to photograph the raw, honest things in life to portray truth and stories through my images. I feel this opportunity would benefit myself greatly as my dream is to become a Professional Travel Photographer and to receive mentoring in this field would assist me in my hard work of growing this into a reality.
