Traveler drove 7000 kilometers.
Travel around the world – a rather expensive hobby, which can afford not everyone, but this does not apply to Laura Bingham (Laura Bingham), 23-year-old model from England who recently made a trip to South America without spending a fortune on food and shelter, and relying on the kindness of local residents.
For 5 months, and 11 days later the girl rode the bike distance with a length of 7 thousand kilometers.

Laura is quite experienced traveler. In 2011, when the girl turned 18, she left home and went alone to the island of Corfu in Greece, with no employment prospects and plans for the future.

Her passion for adventure was born while working in Mexico, where Laura participated in the program for the conservation of jaguars and taught English. There she learned Spanish, which became her great help while travelling around South America.

From Mexico to England Laura returned to the trimaran in the company of two strange men and a cat. Air travel is too boring for her. When Laura returned home her family was so shocked by her journey across the ocean that she decided not to stop and to inspire others on something like that. Soon Laura began to plan a trip to South America.

Through its journey, Laura has not only become more resilient, both physically and psychologically, but also improved communication skills.

Every night Laura had to find a merciful stranger and offer him help with the housework in exchange for food and shelter. Sometimes it was much harder than she expected.
Laura made videos during his travels and kept a journal on Twitter. In the future she is going to make documentary film.
