Roadtrip Australia: Van-Tastic Tasmania - Dara & Catherine Americans Dara and Catherine embark on the ultimate Aussie roadtrip as they motor around Tasmania with Van-Tastic Adventures for six action-packed, free-wheeling weeks of adventure.

Thailand was the first developing country I had been to, and I wanted to throw myself into the culture. I decided to live in a small fishing village, while I became certified to teach English. It was not easy being confronted by poverty everyday, but ignoring something does not mean it doesn't exist.
Teaching real Thai students gave me a feeling of purpose I had never felt before and interacting with locals helped me learn a bit of Thai.
Now, I am continuing to travel and practice my passion for film. I have been documenting my journey since I left home in December 2009. Along the way I've developed my video travel blog, one-wayticket.com, where I can share my experiences. I am constantly editing and developing content, looking for opportunities to showcase my work, whether it's on my site or someone else's. This scholarship would afford me an incredible mentor and amazing subject to hopefully jump start my career as a documentary film maker. I can honestly say I have never been so passionate about anything in my life as I am for film and travel. With this experience, I get to do both.
