How did it begin

Since my youth, I enjoyed traveling and photography. The first excursions accompanied by my parents around our beautiful country have gradually changed into ways of exploration and adventure. I wanted to get to know other cultures and I came here and I feel it is time to share my experience. During meetings with my friends, I narrated stories about a lawn scooter ride in the Laos jungle, an assault by angry natives in South Africa, or beating spitting everywhere on the streets of Rangoon. I would like to tell you these stories.

What is our goal?

The aim of my work is to bring my experiences from the journey through Burma into a book and photographs in the form of short stories, poems, reflections. And maybe inspire you to travel to Burma. I believe this book will be the beginning of my creative work.

Details

During my journey through Burma I had the opportunity to see and experience the life of ordinary people who, after long totalitarian oppression, have learned the possibilities of free life. Still, in the remote corners of the country, we encounter forgotten cultures, customs and traditions. This contrasts sharply with our way of life. At every step I encountered very difficult conditions, but in the people of this country, despite everything, is left humility, generosity and willingness to help others. Upon returning from Burma, I decided to write a manuscript about this journey, where I would like to bring life to Burmese people in the form of stories, short stories and poems. Due to the fact that I have made a large amount of photomaterials on my way, I would like to use it also in this book.

... and more

As a reward for potential donors, I would like to use not only this book, but also in the form of posters, pictures, calendars or even photo services. Thank you :)

Who I am?

I am an amateur photographer, a traveler and a beginner writer. My profession is a travel guide with a globe destination. :)

Why I am  doing this?

I have decided to get a place to implement the project through this website (hithit) because I would like to publish a professional and high quality work. The finances selected for this project will be exclusively used for book manuscripts, production, promotion and photo exhibition.
