Zoë Cano, is an adventurous explorer, writer and photographer. Born in Hereford, England, she has lived and worked in Paris for ten years in the film and events industry then on to New York and Boston, with extended periods in Brazil and Asia.
Among her numerous unique adventures, Zoë has undertaken the challenge to row the entire length of The Thames from its source in the centre of England to Greenwich, travelled through the Amazon, walked distances along the Great Wall of China and also crossed the Peruvian Andes on horseback.
With her love of motorcycles, in 2012 she succeeded in a massive exploit to cross the American Continent solo , without assistance, on a classic Triumph Bonneville T100. She’d just passed her test!
This expedition clocked up almost 9 000 miles with no sat-nav used – just old National Geographic maps and a compass! The fact that she hadn’t done much more than 100 miles on a motorbike before the trip confirms the courage of the trip producing incredible adventures.
‘Bonneville Go or Bust – On the Roads Less Travelled’ narrates this first unique solo adventure across America and is the first of her highly successful travel books.
Two years later in 2014, Zoe returned to the USA and undertook another challenging 2 000 miles on another motorbike this time through the southern states of Georgia, Alabama and the Gulf Peninsula of Florida recounted in her second book ‘Southern Escapades’.
Her third book in the adventure travel series – ‘Chilli, Skulls & Tequila” – is a 3 000 mile solo escapade she took in 2016 through the iconic Baja California, Mexico and this time in an old truck! In 2017, a year later, she jumped on an old scooter and rode from London and around the Welsh coastline.
In 2018 she completed a three month 4 000 mile adventure through New Zealand with her travel book “Hellbent for Paradise” covering stories of this unique adventure.
2021 welcomes a new release “Mini Escapades around the British Isles” encompassing short stories over the years.

A synopsis of Zoe’s latest book “Mini Escapades around the British Isles”
The British Isles, encompassing thousands of islands both big and small, are like sparkling rough-cut gems sprinkled into the North Atlantic. Discovering their diverse and jaw-dropping landscapes are like treasures waiting to be dug up.
As a wonderful compilation of original short stories closer to home, Zoë Cano captures the very essence of Britain’s natural beauty with eclectic travels she’s taken over the years exploring England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Unsurprisingly, these journeys turn into mini adventures that include motorcycling around the legendary Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland, slowly exploring Wales on a scooter, living in a little camper van to discover the remote Scottish Highlands and bravely sailing across the English Channel during the total Eclipse of the Sun.
With Zoë’s never-ending appetite for experiencing new places, and always up for a challenge, these tales will make you chuckle out loud but also flood your roaming imagination.
Books available at all good bookstores and through www.ZoeCano.com
