No fixed address.
Always home.
A four-year circumnavigation. One man. One dog. The world is the plan.
Built a startup.
Lost it all.
Sailed away.
Mark spent his twenties chasing the wrong things — pitch decks, funding rounds, the startup grind. Then it fell apart. What came next wasn't a plan. It was a boat, a dog, and a horizon with no deadline. Sailing Marco Polo is what happens when you stop running toward something and start sailing toward everything.
Every great explorer needs a first mate.
Polo doesn't know what a passport is. He doesn't know what an ocean is either. But he knows Mark, and that's enough. Wherever this boat goes, Polo goes. Full stop.
Polo. Ship's dog. Age 9 months. Opinions: strong.
The Journey
The Voyage
There is no fixed itinerary. That's the point. The plan is to leave. The rest will take care of itself.
The Timeline
Launching June 2026. Four years. 50+ countries. No firm schedule, no hard deadlines. Just tide and wind.
The Boat
1981 Hans Christian 38T — Marco Polo
