I’ve published two videos on my Redefining Adventure philosophy.
I want to bring adventure and expeditions into the 21st century and challenge some of the tired tropes of what adventure is.
I also hope these videos can help aspiring travellers and adventurers to pursue their dreams by answering some of the questions that I had when I was first starting out.
So far, I’ve recorded five episodes and the first two are now out.
Please watch them on YouTube and follow my channel if you like the content.
This December moviegoers and salty sailors can experience Sailau on the big screen in Copenhagen on Nordic Adventure Film Festival on 1. December and in Warsaw at Jachtfilm Festival the 3. December.
Mambututu Village Papua New Guinea. Thor F. Jensen 2018.
I have made a list to guide people with aspirations to visit remote places and communities, drawing on my philosophy Redefining Adventure.
The point is, when you travel with a purpose beyond yourself, things become easier: you receive goodwill from hosts and develop meaningful relationships with locals.
And when the going gets tough you are more likely to persevere knowing others depend on your success.
We are proud to be sharing the new trailer for our documentary film SAILAU.
The film has been submitted to various international film festivals this year so you will be able to experience the film on the silver screen whether you live in countries like, New Zealand, Denmark, UK, Canada, Australia or Papua New Guinea.
Sanakoli John and Thor F. Jensen will be speaking on their new film SAILAU at the Humboldt Forum Berlin.

But that’s just the beginning.
Our interpid sailor will continue with a delegation of Western Pacific navigators and vessel builders to Berlin as guests of honor at a conference held by Potsdam University:
Te Ara Vaka Moana: Ancestral Voyaging Vessels and Navigation in Oceania”. A public event that take place at the Humboldt Forum Berlin on February 16 and 17. 2023. (Sign up Link)
And here comes the best part: I’ll be there to meet Sanakoli! We haven’t seen each other since we ended our circumnavigation in November 2017 – Super exciting.
Together we’ll be speaking about our new documentary SAILAU and Sanakoli will also do a presentation on Kula trade, and speak about his traditional canoe building school Pasana Group.

But thats’s not all, Sanakoli and the rest of the delegation continues to Greenwich UK by invitation by the Royal Institute of Navigation to present at the Royal Maritime Museum, (Sign up Link)
It has been a long haul putting this great journey together, with efforts from PNG Foreign Ministry, Potsdam University, IMPAC5 Coordinators and not least Dr Mimi George who is the unstoppable engine behind it all.
I can’t wait to follow Sanakoli’s journey on Facebook and I suggest you do the same: facebook.com/pasanagroup
I’ve been thinking… how to share all the wacky and crazy experiences I’ve had living in Australia’s Northern Territory?
By making a comic book of course! 44 pages of jokes more or less based on true experiences in the NT.
The book will be available across the NT and conventional online bookstores from mid December. And I will be signing copies at The Bookshop Darwin on 15 Dec, between 10 and 12PM
You can already now pre-order you copy from thorstore.dk .
