A propos de l'auteur

Laura Coffey is a travel writer, happiest in motion. She's newly addicted to cold water swimming, has an old addiction to adventure, and loves to write about the wild beauty of the places she visits and the people she meets as she roams through the world. Her work has been published in places like Condé Nast Traveller, The Guardian and BBC Travel. She is a certified yoga teacher, solo travel enthusiast and excitable bird-nerd. When she is not writing, Laura can be found cycling across London, stretching out on her yoga mat, or best of all, planning an escape to a remote island.

Résumé

Enchanted Islands tells the true story of Laura Coffey's epic journey around the mystical archipelagos of the Mediterranean. Blending memoir, travel and nature writing with tales from The Odyssey, and infused with sharply comic wit, this is a celebration of the redemptive powers of cold-water swimming and luminous star-lit skies.
