Biography


Project after project, goal after goal, at eighteen he was teaching English in Thailand and imported silk scarves; Novarlo was born. Passion in the right hand, a vision in the other he captured every moment through photography. After exploring the western regions of China near the Tibetan border he taught to university students back in Shanghai; he was nineteen. Fueled by discovery he saw Hungary, Argentina, Peru, and Bolivia. Two years in marketing, a ticket to Mongolia with no guides or translation books, no bags, nor spare clothing he investigated the steppes the old fashioned way, walking 28 miles per day with the same determination in his eyes. Burned, frozen, poisoned, bitten, dehydrated, lost, attacked, starved and injured he pressed on. Illegal gold diggers, smugglers, ancient artifacts and stories out of science fiction filled his journals. It’s about the people, the culture, the food, the customs, the manners, the practices, the art and the symphonies. It’s about trusting yourself and doing what you love no questions asked. It’s about believing in yourself even If you have to go against the current.


Feed your passions and you will never grow hungry.
