Ok – yep – we’re cheating, because Emily quit her job as a bike courier a little while ago to ride around the wold and write about it.

However, Emily spent years delivering parcels by bike around in London, and writes: “I’ve never enjoyed a job so much, or stuck with it so long” – so it sounds like it’s a career well worth spending some time in.

She does add: “There’s very little career development in couriering, so I’m delighted to have found other ways of cycling and writing full-time.”

Emily’s first book will be published by Guardian Faber in early 2016… we can’t wait. You can catch up with her adventures here.
