About Naomi Canton
Briton Naomi Canton went to Glastonbury Rock Festival while sitting her school exams and backpacked around India alone at the age of 19. Her parents thought she would settle down and marry an investment banker when she went to Oxford University to study Japanese. Little did they expect the Ivory Towers would transform their precious daughter into a left wing rebel, who instead used the course to learn about Buddhism, and upon graduation signed on the dole to join the Free Tibet Campaign. Several years later she gave up Japanese to study Hindi.
