Alles muss raus

Thilo Mischke on the fringes of the world: With impressive travel reports, Mischke embarks on a quest for answers to some of life's big questions. As a journalist, Thilo Mischke has traveled to over a hundred countries around the globe. It is not the allure of the extreme that drives him to the most remote corners, but rather his open perspective on people and their stories, along with an insatiable hunger for life experience. Whether he is staring death in the face in El Salvador, experiencing friendship in the vastness of Iceland, or meeting Ukrainian soldiers, his accounts from the most brutal and inhospitable regions of the world bring the unfamiliar to life. In the reflection of the unknown, one’s own reality appears in a new light. And because Thilo Mischke is intolerably tolerant during his travels, it becomes clear in the end how exciting, challenging, and diverse the world is—yet nowhere is it black and white. The reporter, globetrotter, adventurer, and author Mischke (among other accolades, Journalist of the Year 2021) addresses the great themes in his impressive travel reports from around the world: love, aging, religion, family, death, drugs, and friendship. With his elegant prose, keen observational skills, and passion for pushing boundaries, he sharpens our view of the world around, above, and within us. Thilo Mischke was born in Berlin in 1981. He works as a journalist, author, and television presenter for various outlets, including Die Zeit and Berliner Zeitung. Additionally, he hosts the widely popular podcast Uncovered and regularly appears on camera for a documentary series of the same name on Pro7.
