Mark Malkoff likes to challenge the definition of "home." He's the guy who lived in an IKEA and more recently lived on an AirTran airplane for 30 days. Mark set a world record by taking 135 scheduled flights in a month — AirTran paid for Malkoff's 30-day stay and allowed him to sleep on the plane alone at night. The 30-day "plane therapy" helped Mark Malkoff get over his fear of flying...
AirTran even painted a huge photo of Mark Malkoff on the side of the plane. For his 30-day stay, Mark brought two bags of toiletries and clothing. He used baby wipes to stay clean, jogged in the aisles in the morning for exercise, and washed his hair in the airplane bathroom.

This guy is adorable. I've been in love with him since his Ikea days.
Some people will do anything for their 15 minutes...
How could anyone possibly wash their hair in an airplane bathroom. There isn't even enough room to do what you're supposed to do in there.
Some people will say anything to comment...
Baby wipes and airplane sink showers? I wouldn't want to be the passenger sitting next to him!
I'd do it for a free nights stay and a trip.
And some people's 15 is up...
I wish I were brave enough to live such an adventurous life.
That wouldn't work for me. My hair would have turned grey by day 12.
So why was he in IKEA? Afraid of shopping? :P
Mark Malkoff is supposed to be a real sweetie. He's an entertainer, too, so why shouldn't he pursue a few minutes of fame? That's his job.
I say: You go, boy.
Wow, I'm sure he stunk by the end.
*yawn*
Mark needs to get a job and an apartment.
obnoxious clown.
notice that most of the pictures are of him NOT on the plane?
If you go to the website there are plenty of pictures of him on the plane. Some of us travel enough for work that it feels like we live on an airplane. So it was interesting to see his experiment.
I think social experiments like this are really interesting. Humans are endlessly inventive (and often those who aren't like to watch/support those who are). Thanks for posting.
