Author Information
Laura Bingham is a British adventurer who, aged 21 and with no experience whatsoever, joined a two-man crew and sailed a 38ft trimaran across the Atlantic. Two years later, she cycled across South America, raising money and awareness for a charity housing and caring for homeless children. She then led the first-ever team to navigate South America’s Essequibo River from source to sea, completing the 600km+ challenge in just 72 days. Laura is married to fellow adventurer and survivalist, Ed Stafford. They have recently relocated from the UK to Costa Rica with their three children. Laura is a multi award-winning artist and author-illustrator, and Venus Woman Entrepreneur of the Year. She also runs her own fabulous gallery in South West England with her husband, Dave, winning the Fine Art Trade Guild’s National Art Retailer of the Year, 2022 .
