Hi folks!

My name is Matija, I'm 32 years old and come from Slovenija.

In the last 18 months or so I got into photography, and the more I learn, the more I love it. So I decided to try my hand at travel / landscape / nature / street photography, while simultaneously going on a solo backpacking trip for the first time in my life.

Since I always dreamed of visiting a tropical island, I bought tickets to Fiji, pretty much the farthest from home I could get. That covered my landscape and nature part. I only needed a place for street shots now, so I booked a hostel in Bangkok, and since it was really cheap and I had some money left in my travel budget, I booked another one in Kathmandu.

Why am I sharing all this info with you, you might ask.

Well, it just so happens that today is the first day of my trip. I just arrived in London, where I'll be staying for one day before moving on to Singapore, Sydney, and - on Wednesday, finally - Fiji, where I'll be staying for three weeks. After Fiji, I'll move to Bangkok for 14 days, and after Bangkok I'll be staying in Kathmandu for almost a month. I'll be posting my photos daily, starting tomorrow, unless I'll find myself without an internet connection.

I really hope this will get some views, as my main reason for writing this blog at all is to get some feedback concerning my pics from someone else than my family, friends and partner.

Below I've linked some of my personal favourite photos that I took since I started, I hope you will find them interesting, and please, post your critique, it would mean a world to me.
