Exploration through Actuations https://journals.worldnomads.com/zbeh11/ Sun, 5 Apr 2026 17:32:12 GMT World Nomads Adventures Over the past 5 years I have traveled to and photographed 45 countries. Travel photography has become my obsession. My journey began with a childhood trip to Costa Rica and, with each new country I visit, my passion continues to grow. I have financed my photographic journeys through teaching ESL around the world and making sacrifices where necessary in order to follow my dreams. I have dreamed of being a professional travel photographer even before I owned my first camera. The opportunity to learn from a pro would be the biggest thing to happen to my travel photography career in a long time. Through diligent studying of techniques and relentless practicing around the world, I have honed my photographic skills. I feel that I am now ready to take the next big step in the travel photography world and that this opportunity could definitely push me in the right direction. Thank you for considering me for this scholarship and I hope you enjoy viewing my work as much as I have enjoyed creating it. https://journals.worldnomads.com/zbeh11/photos/50338/Spain/My-Scholarship-entry-Overland-to-Africa Travel Spain zbeh11 https://journals.worldnomads.com/zbeh11/photos/50338/Spain/My-Scholarship-entry-Overland-to-Africa#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/zbeh11/photos/50338/Spain/My-Scholarship-entry-Overland-to-Africa Sun, 9 Nov 2014 12:31:00 GMT 0 The past few years of my life have been an exceptional blend of photography, traveling, and teaching. Since graduating from university I have been avidly pursuing my passions. For three years now I have been living in different locations across the globe. I took my first job as an English teacher in South Korea. I Initially accepted this job as a means to satiate my addiction to seeing the world. While living in Korea I came to realize many things about myself, but the two most important revelations I had were that I love teaching and I am completely obsessed with photography. Since those early days of my nomadic lifestyle, my passion for photography, traveling, and teaching has grown exponentially and has taken me across Asia, North America, and now Europe, where I currently reside in Madrid, Spain. Throughout my travels I have been working incessantly on building my portfolio, so that one day I can realize my dream of capturing the world through my lens professionally. If I am selected for this assignment, I will utilize my extensive skill set to the best of my ability, so that others can feel the beauty of the country though my images, for this is truly the soul of my passion. https://journals.worldnomads.com/zbeh11/photos/37300/South-Korea/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel South Korea zbeh11 https://journals.worldnomads.com/zbeh11/photos/37300/South-Korea/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/zbeh11/photos/37300/South-Korea/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Tue, 8 Jan 2013 05:48:32 GMT 0
