About the AuthorZoë Cano, whose first name means "Life," is an adventurous traveller, writer, and photographer. Born in Hereford, England, in the 1960s she moved to live and work in Paris for ten years before working in New York and finally, Boston, with extended periods in Brazil and Asia for the international events and exhibition business.
Zoë started rowing competitively and took the challenge to skiff the entire length of the Thames from its source in the centre of England to Greenwich. She has crossed the Peruvian Andes on horseback, motorcycled numerous times solo around the American continent, as well as this recent journey to the Antipodes.
Zoë lives in London and is also the author of the highly successful travel trilogy Bonneville Go or Bust (2013), Southern Escapades (2015), and Chilli, Skulls & Tequila (2017).
