Photojournalist Emily’s work has taken her all over the world, from the coffee farms of Ethiopia to the rain forests of Borneo, via the mud baths of Romania. On a recent visit to Iraq she captured the annual cross-country Arbaeen pilgrimage as she too walked the 500km. Twice! She gives her tips for travelling solo to places which are seen as dangerous or difficult for a woman on her own, and how important it is to rip up the must-see list and get off the beaten track. Hence why she worked in India for six years, without seeing the Taj Mahal.
