The Good, the Bad, the Beautiful

FRANCE | Thu, 15 May 2014 | By pips | Views [780] | Scholarship Entry

It took me an hour to walk up that hill: a pilgrimage of no mean size! At least it was a pleasant one under the shade of a forest of trees. The road slowly wound up the hill with many twists and turns making it difficult to judge how much further I had ... Read more >

A Rua da Manhã: The Morning Street

BRAZIL | Thu, 15 May 2014 | By worthyventures | Views [694] | Comments [1] | Scholarship Entry

Skol in the morning: another beer to fill my half-empty stomach. On cobblestones my dirty tennis shoes wobble across uneven planes, gripping desperately the flatter surfaces. Distant drumming fills my ears, my heart; it becomes my pulse. It’s a Wednesday—not ... Read more >

Wrong Side of the Wall

ISRAEL | Thu, 15 May 2014 | By aeileenr | Views [9395] | Comments [7] | Scholarship Entry

We pushed through the Arab Quarter and focused on the dusty ground, avoiding eye contact with anyone as if that would disguise us. It didn’t. One elderly Muslim man with a turban spat at us, his face taut with anger; another yelled profanities in Hebrew ... Read more >

“Chee-no-da-da-da-da-ming-no-da-da-da-da-la-laaa.” The chanting in Japanese lasted for 30 minutes. Like the other 15 adults in this living room in Perugia, Italy, my hostess held a little white book containing a collection of Japanese mantras with the ... Read more >

The Poor Child outside the luxurious Tomb

VIETNAM | Thu, 15 May 2014 | By hanhminhthinks | Views [275] | Scholarship Entry

20km of riding a motorbike without knowing the way was not the hardest part of our trip. What bothered me after the trip and ingrained it into my mind was a child’s begging, and that I refused her. Earlier that morning, we were so sure that the tombs ... Read more >

Blood

UNITED KINGDOM | Thu, 15 May 2014 | By blood | Views [1480] | Comments [3] | Scholarship Entry

He says he likes my stories. That people with faces he’s never known, and places he has never seen, are interesting, because they come from me. Jack is my life support, the only person who cared when I found myself in a foreign land, my father’s land, ... Read more >

Legends of Light

VENEZUELA | Thu, 15 May 2014 | By edsonlg | Views [1528] | Scholarship Entry

Over 40,000 bolts ripped across the night sky. I sat up in the hammock, hugged my knees, and awed at the relentless lightning cracking like a whip from cloud to cloud. No rain followed. The indigenous people here call it “rib-a-ba,” or “river fire in ... Read more >

Baby

USA | Thu, 15 May 2014 | By man_unstuck | Views [335] | Scholarship Entry

I had retreated into a Corner of Gulu, Uganda, believing a redundant schedule of waking up late, reading paperbacks under an impossibly blue sky, and wandering from one souvenir store to another constituted “living.” Hesitant to leave this Corner, I frowned ... Read more >

The Bather

MOROCCO | Thu, 15 May 2014 | By iamypaterson | Views [317] | Scholarship Entry

Maria en Mexico City! (Misadventure #479)

MEXICO | Thu, 15 May 2014 | By maria_nz | Views [365] | Scholarship Entry

Slumped on the airport floor, I was trying to find comfort in my early, Dulce de leche birthday cake. Sixth hour, forth phone card in, but couldn’t reach the hostel. If I’d been a seasoned traveller, I would’ve written down the address. But I was 19 and ... Read more >

City life

TANZANIA | Thu, 15 May 2014 | By jazsnt | Views [390] | Scholarship Entry

Hot Guys in Shorts

THAILAND | Thu, 15 May 2014 | By kasial | Views [318] | Scholarship Entry

Ok I'll admit that I am not supposed to be doing this. Those arms, those legs, loaded with power, those washboard abs... Concentrate on the game! This is the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, and I am at a Muay Thai fight night. I am also with my parents and ... Read more >

A world away from home

RUSSIAN FEDERATION | Thu, 15 May 2014 | By zita_whalley | Views [431] | Scholarship Entry

Melancholy hangs in the cold winter air. The biting -27’C wind permeates my clothes, my bones and the ground I tread as I navigate my way down the main street of Khuzhir, the principal but tiny township of Olkhon Island. Beyond Moscow’s halo of smog and ... Read more >

I'd never cheat on my wife!

USA | Thu, 15 May 2014 | By amymarie | Views [235] | Scholarship Entry

After a week of basement-flooding, subway-car-stranding summer rain, the air is heavy, the heat is oppressive, and I need a break from my questionable room-painting project—fumes and fruit flies drive me to seek the air-conditioned comfort of Jimmy’s ... Read more >

HUNGARY | Thu, 15 May 2014 | By traveltipjar | Views [489] | Scholarship Entry

Though just two blocks from Budapest's bustling Opera district, the only occupants that Sunday afternoon on Hegedu Street were the four mannequins staring down at me from the second floor balcony. In white jumpsuits they looked chic, grotesque even, like ... Read more >

Trespass

CANADA | Thu, 15 May 2014 | By j_jablonski | Views [344] | Scholarship Entry
