Emerson Mendoza Ayala is a Spanish investigative and travel journalist specialising in environmental research in the Iberian Peninsula and sustainability and culture across Europe.
His key focus areas are cross-border and environmental investigations, SDGs, climate change, democratisation, World Heritage, multimedia storytelling and photojournalism.
Emerson holds a Double Degree in Journalism and Audiovisual Communication from the University of Seville, completed a bilingual semester as Erasmus Mundus at the Austral University in Buenos Aires and studied a Master's degree in Travel Journalism at the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
He is fluent in Spanish, English, French and Portuguese and is always eager to learn new languages to make better connections.
