Why I'm rowing across the Pacific
by Roz Savage
A latecomer to the life of adventure, Roz Savage worked as a management consultant in London for 11 years before setting out in a new life direction -- in a rowboat across the Atlantic Ocean. She completed her solo row across the Atlantic in 2005 and is now on a mission be the first woman to row solo across the Pacific, from the West Coast of the US to Australia, raising awareness along the way of plastic pollution, climate change and eco-heroism.. She began the pursuit in 2008, rowing from California to Hawaii, and rowed from Hawaii to Kiribati in 2009. In April 2010 she began the third and final stage of her Pacific row, from Kiribati to Australia.
When not on the open seas, Roz is a passionate environmental campaigner, focused on sustainability and ending plastic pollution. Why does she do it? Hear her reasons, both deeply personal and urgently activist.
