Das beste Mittel gegen Fernweh!

They shouldn't have tear gassed best-selling (bald) author Adam Fletcher. It ruined his supposedly normal holiday in Istanbul, made him curious, and began a quest to visit places everyone else is trying to escape from, and tourists don't normally go to. In this hilarious travel memoir, he'll enter a blizzard in China armed with only biscuits; pose as a scientist to sneak into Chernobyl; be chased by Croatian police boats en route to Liberland (the world's newest country); become a reluctant diving board star in a North Korean water park, and much more.

Torn between two countries, I've always felt like a fish out of water. I've come to love Canada which has been my home for decades. The vast distances, the quiet lakes and forests, the unspoiled wilderness have become precious to me, yet part of me has never been able to completely abandon my English roots. I ache for the old churches, the friendly pubs, the tiny, winding backroads. When I'm in Canada my thoughts often turn towards England, yet when I visit England I pine for Canada's wilds. I feel tugged in both directions, my mind hovering somewhere in mid-Atlantic.

After getting stuck in the EU and suffering a loss of income during the worldwide "pandemic", an American traveler decides to head to Croatia and live off grid for a few months while hiking and wild camping.

Buckle up for a rib-tickling multinational caper of courage, tenacity, love, friendship, danger, panic, passport stamps, and geo-politics washed down with copious amounts of alcohol.

To live in a pristine land unchanged by man... to roam a wilderness through which few other humans have passed... to choose an idyllic site, cut trees and build a log cabin... to be a self-sufficient craftsman, making what is needed from materials available... to be not at odds with the world but content with one's own thoughts and company. Thousands have had such dreams, but Richard Proenneke lived them.

Roads bind our world—metaphorically and literally—transforming landscapes and the lives of the people who inhabit them. Roads have unparalleled power to impact communities, unite worlds and sunder them, and reveal the hopes and fears of those who travel them.

When COVID-19 struck the UK, the government advised the over-70s to "shield" while the country went into lockdown. One old man went sailing instead. Single-handed and self-isolated, retired journalist John Passmore used the pandemic to achieve an ambition that had eluded him for 60 years. For 3,629 miles, he disappeared into a world of perfect solitude, adventure, and adversity, arriving back 42 days later, short of water and with shredded sails, to find himself celebrated on national radio as the embodiment of everybody’s lockdown dream. This is his story.
