I am a 21 year old University student, originally from Canada, currently studying in Australia. I'll be finishing my degree in the coming months and I'm left wondering if i've made the right choice. Finishing my degree is an accomplishment no doubt, but I feel there is much more to world that I am missing out on. I've been infatuated with travel and seeing the world since I was a little girl. Every month I would go to the mailbox with my Mom to so I could get my hands on Dad's National Geographic before he did. Being so young it's been difficult to travel as funds are always scarce, but i've started to make it a reality in my life. Im currently on exchange for the year in Australia and am departing on a trip to Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam in the next few days. I've always had an interest in photography but never made much of it until my parents bought me a Canon DSLR for Christmas and i've been anxiously waiting any opportunity to photograph my surroundings since.
I think you should choose me because I am passionate about the world, and I want to be able to show it to others.There are so many different cultures and environments out there to see, it'd be a shame not to explore
