• How would Emma describe herself? Tell us a bit more about her.

Emma would describe herself as a determined, kind person with a curiosity for learning. Emma has followed the traditional path of studying and working hard to work her way up the ladder. She has a Masters degree in Occupational Psychology and works as a Senior Human Resources Manager at a global entertainment company. She grew up and lived her whole life in Malta. For a long time her goals were very common goals. Mainly being to settle down and have kids and continue to build her career and was well on her way to doing just that. 2020 was a year of big decisions and change for Emma. Since then, she has gone on a journey to really find herself. Being single after an 11 year relationship, she has discovered much more about herself and has done some soul searching, she’s a very different person today and is much more aligned with her needs and wants in life (Thibaud was a great inspiration to help her get there). She’s worked hard all her life to build up her career and now has started focusing more on her passions and interests outside of the working world.

• What are Emma’s hobbies and passions besides travelling?

Emma loves to learn and discover. She is very interested in documentaries about nature, wildlife, psychology and any based on true stories or history, anything that she can learn from. She loves to learn about anything culture from reading to exploring even Maltese culture given its vast heritage and history. Emma is also very interested in health and fitness. She attends fitness classes regularly and is focused on eating and living a healthy lifestyle. Her biggest passion is travelling and this is always on her mind. Not having enough annual leave is a constant struggle!

• What does Emma want to achieve in life?

Emma achieved a lot already personally and professionally. Her focus now is on her passions and interests and she would love to be travelling as regularly and as much as possible. Similar to Thibaud, trying to achieve that balance of stable income and travelling regularly is what she wants to achieve in the near future. Emma now appreciates how much more there is to life than the regular 9 – 5 city girl lifestyle, she’s curious to explore what more the world has to offer.

• How would Thibaud describe Emma?

He would describe her as a very supportive and caring person who is always ready to help others. She is quite an introvert and therefore could seem cold at first, but she will get very talkative and friendly once you get to know her (very talkative trust Thibaud on that one). She is very driven and likes to be structured and organised and loves to be in control (a bit to much sometimes). To finish with, he would say that she is a strong woman who knows what she wants and what she doesn’t, someone who is stable and who you know you can always count on.
