John Everingham (born 1949, in Australia) is an Australian journalist residing in Thailand. Everingham was in high school in 1966 when the urge to travel overcame the desire to study. He dropped out of school and left home at 16 years old, and left Australia to journey to London by motorcycle. Everingham began his career in photojournalism in the mid-1960s, as a teenager trekking through Indochina and learning languages. He originally worked as a translator for TV crews covering the Vietnam War. In 1983, Everingham was the contact to Cork Graham for Capt. Kidd Treasure Hunter Richard Knight.
