About the author

Emma is a languages graduate and creative writer with a passion for politics, social justice and the environment.

She has written for Varsity and The Cambridge Student, blogged for Unidays and hosted talk shows on community radio in both Cambridge and Santiago de Chile. While researching, scripting and hosting a light-hearted current affairs show, she interviewed a diverse array of speakers including journalist Chris Cook, body-positive model Jada Sezer, and local candidates for the 2019 General Election.

She has worked on several youth-led social action campaigns and community movements, starting at age 16 with a local social media campaign and flash mob against sexual objectification. More recently, she has been a student representative for Student Minds (2016-2019) and a founder of #postcardsfromthefuture (2021-), a movement intended to give a voice to climate-concerned children.

She is also Senior Editor at Louder Than The Storm (2020-), where she helps other young environmentalists speak up about the better future we wish to create – not just the climate crisis we must avert.

About travelsinateacup

The travelsinateacup site began back in 2016 as a place to blog about my adventures as an au pair on my first solo travel trip, and a place to write up my Year Abroad experiences in the hope that they might help someone else.

Since then, my definition of ‘adventure’ has expanded to include the trials and tribulations of university life, the complex ups and downs of politics, and the transition into adulthood in the midst of several global crises.
