CURRENT MISSION

Exploring different parts of the globe in an attempt to make some kind of sense of the world we live in.

ABOUT ME

My name is Emma.
I grew up in London and moved to France when I was 15.
I just graduated from University with a degree in filmmaking, which I guess means that I am now officially a real adult and a freelance filmmaker.
I love to travel around, write and take photos, so I'm keeping this small blog of my adventures. It should tell you everything you need to know about me, if you read for long enough ! :)

PHILOSOPHY

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

Perhaps not my own personal philosophy, but something I feel pretty strongly about...

Interests
