Biography
 Natascha Scott-Stokes established herself as a pioneering traveller
in 1989, when she became the first woman to travel the length of the
Amazon river alone, from its headwaters in the Peruvian Andes to the
Atlantic off Brazil. On her return, she wrote 'An Amazon and a
Donkey', to popular acclaim.
When the Berlin Wall came down and Communism collapsed, Natascha was
inspired to cycle 2000 kilometres on a journey of discovery through
Eastern Europe, which is recounted in her book, 'The Amber Trail'.
She was short-listed for the Traveller Magazine’s first travel
writing competition, in 1992, and an Eastern Arts Board Writer’s
Bursary, in 1997. She has been a Fellow of the Royal Geographical
Society since 1986, and is also a member of PEN and The Society of
Authors.
In writing biography, Natascha is following in the footsteps of her
uncle, Henry Scott Stokes, author of the acclaimed Yukio Mishima
biography (Penguin).
Natascha Scott-Stokes met the Québecois father of her two sons in a
hotel in Guatemala, and he has been putting up with the English
climate for the past thirteen years. She is also a professional
translator (German into English).
