A personal travel journal

Travel
on purpose.

Real places. Unexpected moments. Stories about showing up for the life happening right in front of you.

Explore the stories

Go somewhere.

Try something.

Notice more.

The field notes

A trip is more than the places you pin.

It’s the side street, the conversation, the thing you didn’t plan to notice. That’s where the good stories tend to live.

Old San Juan · Take the long way

Leave a little room to get lost.

A city reveals itself differently when the plan loosens its grip.

The small moment

Say yes to the detour.

Worth it or skip it?

The weather had other plans.

Real moments from the road. No perfect itinerary required.

A note from Mark

I’m done waiting for the perfect trip.

I’m interested in what happens when we stop preparing to live and start participating in the day we’re already in. Mark In Motion is where I share the places, experiments, awkward attempts, and small moments along the way.

A little more about me

One thing I’m making

Structure for the beautifully unplanned.

The five categories of The 5 Envelope Method shown in a fan of prompt cards

The 5 Envelope Method™

A travel card system for adding Care, Connection, Culture, Curiosity, and Delight to the trip you’re already taking. One of the ways I’m exploring how a little structure can open the door to more real-world experience.

Meet the method

The point of it all

Stop preparing to live. Start creating experiences worth remembering.
