Concept statement

A passport can open the world and the many oppurtunities that come with it, to you. But travelling to the places only make up a fraction of the journey. You have to hear the sounds, speak the language, see the country. experience it. become part of the culture, the people, the very country it self. so when you return, you know you had the trip of a life time.

Where in the world would you go to and why?

i want to go everywhere!!! South America would be great- im deeply interested in the mysterious Incas of Peru, and the ancient Mayan people, how cool would it be to see the temples they built, and the cities they live in????

Favourite stuff?

Item: my family and friends
pastime: um, myspace?? i know, sad.
person: Gandhi
food: CHOCOLATE
movie: international movies are awesome! my current fave is the korean flick "a millionaire's first love", cheesy, but good
book: a catcher in the rye, margaux with an x, the da vinci code
mag: Yen mag!!!
band: wolf and cub, end of fashion, the all american rejects

Three people you'd take to a desert island?

Wanda, Cosmo and Timmy! (from "fairly odd parents") because if i die of starvation or thirst, i know i'll die whilst laughing!

What will you be doing in 10 years?

Ahhhhh 10 years?? it seems so scarily far away! well, i have no idea. hopefully something fun, and something i've always wanted to do (meaning, no maths for me!)

Why should you win this competition?

i'm so happy to have even made it this far! i hope my design has made people open up to the idea that experiencing the country DEEPLY is the best souvenier you can get.
