Your Bio

Roz Savage is a British ocean rower, author, motivational speaker and environmental campaigner.

She first came to prominence in 2005, when after 11 years as a management consultant she embarked upon a new life of adventure by rowing solo 3,000 miles across the Atlantic. Her unlikely transformation from office worker to ocean rower, described with humor and soul-baring honesty in her blogs, captivated a worldwide audience. Now Roz is attempting to become the first woman to row solo across the Pacific. In 2008 she completed Stage 1, becoming the first woman ever to row solo from California to Hawaii. Stage 2 launches in May 2009.

Roz continues to share her seafaring adventures online, through blogs, videos, podcasts, and Twitter, inspiring people to live happier, more fulfilling, more sustainable lives.
