LUMIX Ambassadors
Cynthia Bil
"It's important for me that I can travel light. The Lumix cameras are the perfect equipment to take with me on my adventures. They're small, light and very versatile. With the weather sealed body of the Lumix G9 I'm not afraid to take out the camera in challenging weather conditions and thanks to the powerful features, I have such a range of creative options that I can create high-quality images in any place or situation."
Cynthia Bil is a travel photographer and writer originally from Belgium. In 2011, she left her home and her job as a school teacher to travel the world full-time and she's been living as a nomad for almost a decade. She documents her travels on her outdoor and adventure travel blog Journal of Nomads.
Photography was merely a hobby when Cynthia was still living in Belgium but during her travels she developed her passion and skills to such level that she became a professional travel writer and photographer. As an intrepid traveler, she loves to go to unusual and unconventional destinations. She often seeks situations that are way beyond her comfort zone and immerse herself in cultures that are very different from her own. “With my photography and stories, I want to give people a window to a world they don't know much about. There's still so much beauty, wisdom, knowledge and opportunity to be found around us, often in unexpected places and situations.”
Cynthia has a special love for hiking and trekking in wild and untouched places. “When I'm alone in nature, get challenged by the weather elements and have to live very basic for days or even weeks in a row, that's when I feel most alive.” During the past years she lived and traveled in countries like Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, etc.
She nowadays has a home base in the Netherlands and when she's not traveling, you’ll most likely find her doing outdoor activities near her home, photographing and creating visual content, preparing for her Adventurous Expeditions in Central Asia, and always looking for beauty in the world.
