Roz Savage, The Voyage Details
Roz Savage is a British ocean rower, author, motivational speaker and environmental campaigner, who uses her trans-oceanic rowing voyages to inspire a movement towards sustainable living at both grassroots and global levels. Roz first gained attention in 2005, when after 11 years as a management consultant, she embarked upon a new life of adventure by rowing solo across the Atlantic. Roz continues to use her seafaring adventures to motivate others to take action on environmental issues and to face their own life challenges. Roz is currently engaged in an epic effort to row solo across the Pacific Ocean. Her adventure consists of three stages, each with its own environmental message. In Summer 2008, Roz became the first woman in history to row solo from California to Hawaii. During her 2,700-mile journey, lasting 99 days, she encouraged people to cut back on their usage of disposable plastic bottles, cups and bags, thereby reducing the amount of plastic that ends up in the ocean. Roz launched stage two of her Pacific Voyage on May 24th, 2009. Her journey will take her from Hawaii to Tuvalu, this time targeting climate change through her Pull Together initiative. The third, and final, stage to Australia will take place in 2010. If successful, Roz will be the first woman in history to row solo across the Pacific Ocean. Roz is an avid technology enthusiast and enjoys sharing her adventures through a variety of social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube. She regularly blogs and records podcasts, delighting her audience and allowing them to vicariously share and experience her thrilling adventures. Find out more at www.rozsavage.com
