Mark P. Simmons

I completed my career as a biology professor in 2022 and am now traveling the world by motorcycle.  After a career focused on science and logic, my life on the road is simple and romantic.  Each day I set out to find, enjoy, record, and process my response to beauty, learning life lessons along the way.  This trip is my expression of confidence, humility, and trust.  Confidence that I can overcome most of the challenges during the trip.  Humility to learn from people I meet and the experiences I have, while being a vulnerable solo traveler.  Trust in new friends who will help me with challenges that I cannot overcome on my own.
