Emma got her first taste of writing when she spent ten weeks as a reporter and photographer on Central American newspaper Honduras This Week – it was not exactly a conventional gap year. She has since contributed to national newspapers, a range of online blogs and zines and to BBC Radio. She loves music and the arts and is much happier in a pair of muddy wellies at Glastonbury than running in her heels! Follow her on twitter @emmabarlow. Emma has previously edited the RIH Music section.
