Vom Glück, unterwegs zu sein

To the edges of the world in search of ourselves. Wonders of travel: the joy of setting off, the longing for the new and unseen, for freedom and chance, not least for the ideal opportunity to experience time, the world, and oneself differently. The beauty of ancient pilgrimage routes in Scandinavia or unlit alleys in Cairo, the ease of flip-flop wearing guides at the Atitlán volcano in Guatemala or the sun-dreaming dogs in Portugal, the nights in Blackpool or Tokyo - Christian Schüle, philosopher, traveler, flâneur, and wanderer, connects personal experiences while exploring the world with reflections on how and why the foreign and distant serve as such an excellent means of self-discovery. His book is both a philosophical road trip and a souvenir about the meaning of travel.
