Author Stefan Jacob

Stefan now lives in Victoria BC, Canada. where he is enjoying putting some of his many life stories into print. He currently works independently from home on his writing and on international trade. In the 1990s he founded 'Planet Products' one of the first fully biodegradable detergent companies. He often still travels into the wilds of Vancouver Island and the coastal mountains north of Vancouver to connect with the innate quiet of undeveloped places.

He is currently writing a collection of short stories comprising various events and experiences including riding the rails (freight trains) across the USA, going overland to Central and South America, and overland from Europe to India and Nepal, and a seven day non-stop drive across the USA and back with five other friends (3 girls and 3 guys, in the late 1960's of course). Other stories in the mix are about a tragic accident in Mexico, and being lost in the High Sierra mountains in a three foot deep snowstorm, alone.

He still holds deep memories and feelings for the Stikine River in Northern BC, Canada, where he lived for many years. There is a story to be written of the fishing collective he formed in the Stikine River fishery with his three children in the 1990's. Lastly and possibly he may write about his daughter Aliya who is buried beside the Stikine River which she loved so much.
