CURRENT MISSION

To circumnavigate the planet without a motor in support of leaders of positive change. I am doing this. Now. Join me at www.routesofchange.org

ABOUT ME

I love life, people, plants, waves, and most everything on this planet. Since traveling extensively in South America when I was 20 I have been determined to live as presently and happily as possible. I have served tea at an alpine hut, planted trees, fought forest fires, made films, and rowed oceans. I like to play outside in the mountains and waves and eat good food and laugh and be healthy. I'm usually happier on the floor because couches are a bit small for me.

PHILOSOPHY

All paths lead to death, so you might as well choose one with heart.
Create the world you wish to live in.
Be healthy, the rest will come.

Musica, film e libri

The stuff that makes you think, or feel, or move, or all of the above....
I love to dance and cry and be inspired.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I did the worm (dance move) and ended up with 7 stitches on my chin and I rowed in a small boat most of the way across the Atlantic ocean and capsized after 72 days at sea. Seriously.

Insegna, impara, condividi

The world is a much more friendlier and safer place than most are lead to believe.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

I'm circumnavigating 80,000 km around the planet without EVER using a motor in support of leaders of positive change. www.routesofchange.org
I can offer hosts peace of mind that I do not need any catering to. I respect people's spaces more than I do my own home and I'm happy to help with anything around the house. I can be quiet and invisible or social and fun. I go with the flow.
With respect,
Markus
