Emma Blackman

Born on a yacht in the Pacific Islands, I have spent my life on the road, travelling with my family as a child and later crossing oceans and continents with friends and strangers. In 2009 I took the road less travelled, leaving behind my world of working on international sailing events to spend six months in a small rural village in Uganda, volunteering at a primary school for orphans. What started as a single journey has become a life-long love affair, one I know will continue forever.

These are my stories, my hopes and heartaches, my thoughts and images from life in the village over the past six years.I am excited to bring you with me on my journey down this dusty dirt road…

I hope you will enjoy,

Emma
