I’ve rebuilt my life from scratch more than once. This is everything that came from it.
Just moved somewhere new, starting over, or simply craving real connection again? There’s always a seat for you at my table.
Is this right for you?
You just moved: New city or new country, and the quiet weekends are louder than you expected.
You’re starting over: A breakup, a new job, a big change. You’re ready for the next chapter, but not alone.
You’re rebuilding: Life fell apart and you’re putting it back together, one honest day at a time.
My Story
Hi, I’m Mark
I’m 43, gay, Canadian living in Valencia, Spain. I’m a recovering addict who rebuilt his life from scratch, and somewhere in that process started a magazine, built an audience of nearly a million people, and moved across the world with my partner and our dog to figure out what actually brings me joy. I write honestly about all of it. If you’ve ever moved somewhere new, started over, or just want real connection again — you’re in the right place. There’s always a seat at my table.
The Table
A community for people starting a new chapter, together.
Weekly live calls
Real conversations every Sunday, not more scrolling.
Your people
Others who’ve moved, relocated or are starting fresh, all over the world.
Real support
Friendship for most days, and deeper support on the hard ones.
Someone who’s been there
I’ve started over more times than I can count. A rock, not a guide.
1:1 calls
Like talking to a friend who’s been through it.
Just us, no judgment. We’ll talk through where you are, what’s holding you back, and your next step forward.
49€ for a limited time. Only a few spots each month.
