Born on the shores of the Great Lakes, Mark Malby spent his formative years messing about in the Canadian outdoors, reading National Geographic and snapping photos with an old Kodak instamatic. He bought his first backpack at age 18 and hasn't stopped travelling since. To date, He has lived and worked in such farflung locales as Toronto, London, Vancouver, Singapore, and Hong Kong - playing various roles along the way: tree-planter, shop-keeper, harbourmaster, high school science teacher, journalist, editor and university lecturer – whatever pays the rent. Recently he has slipped off the mantle of workaday life in order to pursue his passions of travel, writing and photography more fully. Visit Mute Planet to learn more. [View]
