Hey, I'm Emma Truscott.

Freelance travel writer, copywriter & creator

Turning meaningful missions into memorable content

Hey, I’m Emma. A Cornish traveller, writer, house-sitter and life enthusiast.

As a freelance travel writer, I write long-form features for online and print publications, with a focus on slow, solo and sustainable travel. For brands, I draw from 20+ years of travel and business experience to turn meaningful missions into content that inspires action.

You’ll also find me on Substack and socials writing about house-sitting, solo travel and the realities of living a nomadic life.

Origin stories & profiles

I love writing about people and can help with about pages, founder stories, brand origin stories and community profiles. The copy that tells people who you are, why you do it and why they should care.

Content management

Website updates, blog publishing, social media scheduling and general digital housekeeping. Charged hourly, this is the add-on for when the content is sorted but you just need someone to make sure it actually goes out into the world.

A vivid story...

"What I love about this is the simplicity of the premise paired with the sophistication of the execution. The writer turns a border-crossing bike path into a vivid story about the joy of travelling at human speed. It's useful without ever feeling like service, and shows that sustainable travel stories can be ambitious without feeling didactic. Reading it makes you want to lace up, hop on a bike and rethink what a 'European break' can be."

– Ellie Cobb | Editor BBC Travel

One of my favorite pieces...

"As a founder, you always love reading the articles mentioning your company, but I have to say, this one was one of my favorite pieces, it was written beautifully and it captured the essence of Greether and my vision beautifully."

– Vanessa Karel | Founder, Greether

I can't recommend my experience enough...

"All Emma needed from me was one Zoom call to ask all of the right questions to draw the necessary information about my history to create an incredible 'About Page' which now speaks to who I am, what my company stands for and the vision we have. Her ability to condense a lot of spoken babble down into a concise and meaningful story is incredible. I can't recommend my experience enough!"

– Joshua Reynolds | Founder Zellor Management

She has a talent for translating ideas into content that connects...

"Emma took the time to really dig into the detail, asking the right questions, gathering insight, and building a strong understanding of both my audience and what they needed to hear. What stood out most was how little editing was needed - something that’s very rare. She has a real talent for words, messaging, and translating ideas into content that genuinely connects.

Celebrating positive impact storytelling...

What a fun evening it was at the Inspire Global Media Awards in April 2026. Not only because I got to meet some travel friends in real life for the first time, but also because I was awarded Highly Commended for Consumer Feature of the Year (Europe).

The IGMAs are the only media event solely dedicated to celebrating sustainable, positive impact storytelling.

My piece on borderless biking for BBC Travel explores how open borders have opened minds across the Moselle region, and was also selected as one of BBC Travel’s favourite stories of 2025.
