About emily_jones
I'm a travel addict who constantly hurts my neck craning to look at overhead planes. Never satisfied at home, I can be found in my natural habitat searching travel forums and airline websites, on the prowl for a shoestring adventure.
A journalism graduate by trade, I love travel writing's marriage of word and place.
My journeys have taken me across nine African countries, where I gazed at mountain gorillas in Rwanda, walked with lions in Tanzania, climbed Mt Kilimanjaro and survived a mystery infection that swelled my forearms like Popeye.
From backpacking through Europe to trekking through Borneo, I'm only really home when I'm away.
