Cameraman Finds Peace in Remote Scottish Highlands After Tough Start

Hamza, a cameraman, has found a peaceful haven in the remote Scottish Highlands after a challenging start to his life there. According to the article, Hamza has resided in the Highlands for a total of 17 years, with the past 10 years spent in a "cottage in the Hebrides style." However, his introduction to the area was less glamorous, as he spent 9 months living in a "Vauxhall seven-seater" before eventually upgrading to a farmer's caravan, which still lacked heating and running water.

Despite these early hardships, Hamza has come to deeply appreciate the tranquility and natural beauty of his current home, which he describes as an "awesome little village" with a population of around 150 people. In a recent episode of Countryfile, Hamza opened up about the positive impact the outdoors has had on his mental health, stating that being in nature "stops time" and leaves him feeling "at peace" and "meditating."

The article also highlights Hamza's enviable role as a cameraman, which allows him to "go on safari" and "travel the world," capturing memories both in his mind and on film. Hamza's inspiring journey showcases the profound mental health benefits that can be found in embracing the great outdoors, even in the face of initial challenges.
