Zo� Cano, whose first name means "Life," is an adventurous spirit. Born in the English border town of Hereford in the 1960s, she very quickly moved to live and work in Paris for ten years before moving to New York and, finally, Boston, with extended periods in Brazil and Asia for the international events business. Zo� started rowing competitively and then took the challenge to skiff the entire length of the Thames, from its source in the centre of England to Greenwich, London. Among her many exploits, she has crossed the Peruvian Andes on horseback, motorcycled numerous times solo around different parts of the world, and still travels extensively. Zo� lives in London and is also the author of the highly successful and recommended travel books Bonneville Go or Bust, Southern Escapades, Chilli, Skulls & Tequila, and Hellbent for Paradise.
