This week, The Pin the Map Project launched two very exciting sections: a new Travel Video Channel and The Pin the Map Project Travel Shop!

 

The video channel will share clips and video shorts of my trips abroad to help bring my stories and photography to life; while the new travel shop allows readers to shop must-have travel accessories, favorite travel books and films. To celebrate the expansion of The Pin the Map Project and its wonderful readers, I am hosting my first GIVEAWAY for what (in my opinion) is the best camera bag out there.

 

On a recent solo travel adventure to Argentina, I was looking to update my worn down Nikon camera bag for something a little more accessible, stylish and subtle. I looked around the internet until I stumbled upon the Ghope black waterproof vintage canvas camera bag! Since purchasing this camera bag, it has become my ultimate go-to travel accessory and has accompanied me on my travels in South America, press trips and will be by my side on an upcoming assignment in London.

    Congrats on the new video channel and travel shop! Looks great. What does travel mean to me? Travel to me is a way to find new perspective. To take yourself out of your comfort zone, routine and what you know and put yourself in a new culture is to ultimately expand your horizons. You become wiser, more compassionate and more understanding through travel.

    Travel, to me=an escape from routine and a chance to meet new people, have great experiences and discover yourself against the backdrop of new cultures!

    Travel is movement and progress, maybe disguised as “finding yourself” or learning about other cultures and places. It is about discovering that you shouldn’t be stagnant. It’s about prioritizing what’s important to you and acting on it. It’s about finding out about what parts and processes of the world you want to be a part of. Travel is not just a way to get away from things that are bringing you down, it is a way to think about the future and where you fit in it.

    Traveling is all for me. As i am amateur photographer i am always traveling for great shots somewhere.

    To travel is to learn and discover what life is like beyond everything that you know. You get to experience something using all five of your senses (touch, taste, sound, smell, and see) and completely immerse yourself to something new and maybe even a little scary. Your experiences, whether they be positive or negative, will shape the way you think and see the world.

    Through my travels, I’ve learned how incredibly euphoric the adhan (Islamic call to prayer) can be…even at 5am. I’ve learned that I’m susceptible to altitude sickness and will never get to cross “climb Mount Kilimanjaro” off my bucket list. I’ve learned that I can get away with being a local in Brazil because they have the largest Japanese community outside of Japan!

    I live in a very multi-cultural city but even then I don’t think I would’ve ever learned these things without travelling.

    Growing up, stuck on a small island, with parents who didn’t want to go anywhere, meant that I was always interested in what else was out there in the world. Reading books, watching movies and TV, and seeing photographs of the huge planet we live on was exciting to me, and I started plotting from a very young age, how I was going to take what I saw and read and make it my own reality.

    Fast-forward to the beginning of my junior year of university, after applying like crazy to study abroad, I was about to leave for England, the land I’d always dreamed of from my frequent readings of Harry Potter and Jane Austen. This was my first chance to travel and see a new part of the world. It was three very frustrating months of adjusting to life abroad, and finally understanding that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

    And although it wasn’t perfect like I imagined it, it was the best experience of my life. I finally understood that there was a difference between traveling and tourism. Traveling meant fully taking in a place and trying to understand more about the culture and ambience. I wasn’t a tourist, I was a traveler. From those three months in England and Europe, I started to realize that traveling was all I wanted to do with my life.

    And now, three years later, I am back in the UK, living in London, using my weekends and school breaks to explore all that I can, and use the sights, smells, friends and feelings I gain along the way to fuel my continuous fire for traveling. To me, travel means to learn and love and truly appreciate the world for all the magic it holds. I am finally getting to do that full-time, and it’s what I was meant to do.
