Arne Fronsdal

Arne crossed the Atlantic on a freighter to Baltimore followed by a greyhound bus ride from Baltimore to New York where he started to work as a trainee in a shipping office at $65 per week. After 10 years he had built up a shipping company operating 40-50 dry cargo ships world wide. He then retired and started sailing around the world with his brother with a 40' catamaran - thrice across the South Pacific followed by hiking the mountains of Himalaya, Andes, Rockies and the Alps. He took up Yoga at a young age and is still practicing asanas, pranayamas and meditation.

He has written about some of his experiences in half a dozen books.
