I am interested in the photography that you have posted to this and wondered if you have used digital or traditional methods? I am guessing digital because of the ease of use when posting / uploading.
Your travel blog is interesting. You have visited some very interesting places but this must have cost you quite a bit of money. I guess you must have to budget for this carefully. Will you settle down at a full time job after your masters ? and will this impact on your travelling ?

I use a digital camera (canon powershot) for everything (easy to upload and delete awful photos!) I budget carefully, and try to find jobs that allow me to travel
I have a full-time job now (with summers off), but after my masters will probably look for something new to further my professional development. I try to plan my jobs around my passion for travel (rather than the other way around), so hopefully I’ll keep going!
