I’m Mark — 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.

Where to go

→ The Community — A private space for people over 35 who are starting fresh and searching for community. The table is always set.

→ Book a 1:1 with me — Sometimes you just need someone to actually listen. I offer 1:1 calls for anyone navigating a big change, feeling stuck, or wanting a real conversation with someone who’s rebuilt his life more than once. Book a Pull Up a Seat session.

→ Book a Cameo — Need a birthday shoutout, a pep talk, or just a little chaos for someone you love? Book a personal video from me on Cameo.

→ Sparker Magazine – Essays on rebuilding, joy, and what it actually means to start over after 35.

→ ADDICTED Magazine – Travel, lifestyle, food and culture. A global publication with 15 years of history.
