Synopsis

From the outset of this 5,000 kilometre road trip odyssey, this free-spirited motorcycle traveller is pushed to her limits as a series of catastrophic cyclones come crashing through New Zealand. Along the way, Zoë encounters colourful people from all walks of life, including artists and musicians, sheep farmers, Maori fishermen, a healer, stargazers, fellow travellers, and even motorcycle gangs who'll all open her eyes and introduce her to the raw underbelly of the country. But the journey doesn't quite turn out as she'd planned, and extreme measures are needed to complete--and even survive--the Land of the Long White Cloud!

À propos de l'auteur

Zoë Cano was born in Hereford, England, in the wonderful '60s and has had the spirit for adventure traveling from an early age. In the 1980s, needing to find work and stand on her own two feet, she moved to Paris, bought a scooter, and lived there for a decade, working in the film industry and the international events business. For the next fifteen years, Zoë traveled extensively for diverse projects, taking her across the world into Europe, Asia, and the Americas. During this time, she resided in New York, and Boston. She eventually returned to England to continue working in events. 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 recently crossed the Peruvian Andes on horseback. She still travels extensively, often taking her beloved Triumph Bonneville motorbike. Zoë lives in West London, close to the river and never far from the next adventure.
