That\u2019s Tamy Emma P\u00e9pin: a spontaneous, connected, and passionate traveller.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTravel has always been important in my life. My mother [former MNA Fatima Houda-P\u00e9pin] is from Morocco. I\u2019ve travelled with my parents from a very young age.

For two months, she explored England, Scotland, and Ireland, meeting in person with people she initially met on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. \u201cI also used other applications such as Camp in my garden and Couch Surfing.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_983\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-983\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/numa.media\/tamy\/tamyb\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-983\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-983\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/numa.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/TamyB.jpg?resize=1152%2C648\" alt=\"Tamy@Royaume-Uni\" width=\"1152\" height=\"648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/numa.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/TamyB.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/numa.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/TamyB.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/numa.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/TamyB.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/numa.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/TamyB.jpg?resize=1700%2C956&amp;ssl=1 1700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/numa.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/TamyB.jpg?resize=500%2C281&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1152px) 100vw, 1152px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-983\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tamy@Royaume-Uni<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Along with the show, Tamy web-published an <a href=\"http:\/\/tamy.urbania.ca\" target=\"_blank\">interactive travel log<\/a> in which she narrated her experience, recommended must-see spots, and shared playlists created on 8tracks. She also presented video portraits of people she met during the shoots.<\/p>\n<p>With this initial TV experience under her belt, she was back the following year with a new concept: find creative and popular people in the U.S. on Instagram, contact them, and go and meet them. The result was <a href=\"http:\/\/tamyusa.evasion.tv\" target=\"_blank\">#tamyUSA<\/a>, a road trip on the west coast and in the southwest of the United States that found its way onto television and the web. \u201cI decided to make #TamyUSA because I wanted to explore mobile photography,\u201d says Tamy. \u201cPhotography is the most widespread means of sharing destinations, and it\u2019s my favourite resource when I travel.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_981\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-981\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/numa.media\/tamy\/tamya\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-981\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-981\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/numa.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/TamyA.jpg?resize=1152%2C648\" alt=\"Tamy\" width=\"1152\" height=\"648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/numa.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/TamyA.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/numa.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/TamyA.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/numa.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/TamyA.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/numa.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/TamyA.jpg?resize=1700%2C956&amp;ssl=1 1700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/numa.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/TamyA.jpg?resize=500%2C281&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1152px) 100vw, 1152px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-981\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tamy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>She wears many hats on her projects: producer, director, researcher, and host.
