Hi there! I’m Marko, an enthusiastic traveller, and advocate for sustainable travel. About the author: for over a decade, I’ve been exploring the far corners of the world, from the bustling streets of Bangkok to the serene landscapes of Patagonia. My mission? To inspire others to travel responsibly, embrace new cultures, and discover the beauty of our planet.
My Journey
I was born in a small town in Finland, where the abundant forests taught me to appreciate nature’s wonders. My passion for travel began at 18 when I backpacked across Europe with nothing but a tent and a thirst for adventure. Since then, I’ve visited many more countries, each one leaving an indelible mark on my soul.
Why I Travel
Travel isn’t just about ticking destinations off a list—it’s about connecting with people, understanding their stories, and learning from their ways of life. I believe that travel has the power to break down barriers, foster empathy, and create a more united world. That’s why I’m committed to promoting sustainable tourism and supporting local communities wherever I go.
